Thus the Government would get a com- plete record of ~will number service great for’ it in a the wire- wilh every ware- are not en- operators? operator in the as 25 meters.

The apparatus used by the Government is incapable of catching waves less than 300 meters long or more than 15,000 meters long—that is, of catching them efficiently. .Detection Now Impossible. “The medium wave-lengths are those commonly in use, and to them the Government apparatus is tuned. But the Germans are at least as clever at radio-telegraphy as we are, and if they wanted to use this of communication § they would be sure to avoid these medium wave lengths.”’ “And what is the remedy?” “Make all the hundred thousand ; amateur radio operators in the coun- ' try official listeners for the Gov- ' ernment. They have apparatus that ' can catch the short wave lengths _and that can detect the long wave ‘lengths. Instead of forbidding these ' men to receive messages, as has been » done, they should be organized and ' @ncouraged to receive as much as ' possible, to keep a record of every- ' thing they receive, no matter how in- * nocent the messages may seem, and ' to transmit this record every day to ' Washington.”’ “You speak Operators,” I broke “Do you ' mean to tell me there are 100,009 ' amateurs of sufficient skill and with | tuch perfect apparatus that they can ' do such work as you suggest?” ‘ “I do,” replied Mr. Pacent, “at > least 100,000, and probably more. I! ' am not sure of the exact number, | but I base my estimate on the mem- _berships of the Radio Club, the Radio 8 Relay League, the many local ©tlubs and leagues throughout the — country and the records of orders for apparatus that have been filled » by the firm with which I am asso- -Clated and by other houses in the ' Same line. F “And that 100,000 takes no “eount of the boys and others who are PMerely playing with wireless. These amateurs, as they are called, are the 'Yeal experts, for they work at wire- less for the love of it; they are build- ng new apparatus all the time, expc- menting with improvements in ma- ' terials and in methods, spending the f Breater portion of their leisure time Pin the work. They are the enthu- 'Slasts, and the professional opera- ‘tors are not, generally speaking, in the Same class with them, as has been proved on many occasions, | “What would make them of spe- lal Value to the Government at this me is that their apparatus is spe- Mially constructed for use with very Short or very long wave lengths, ow- ing to their having been virtually re- Stricted to the use of these in the a t. What is more, the vast ma- -odapd of them are so skilled in the of. their apparatus that they are ble to adapt it at once’to any char- eter of work. I suppose that about f of them have been devoting of 100,000 amateur in. ac- every message sent from and re- ceived in America, which it is cer- tainly not getting now. “The Germans are undoubtedly using a code, or several codes. If every wireless amateur sent a record of all messages he overheard the Government's code experts in Wash- ington would soon detect which mes- sages were in code and, having these before them, would before long be able to decipher the code.” “But how is it possible for men to be operating sending stations, even little ones, here in our midst without their activities being seen by some- body ?”’ I asked. “To send messages a hundred or two hundred miles,’ replied Mr. Pa- cent, “does not need the use of aer- ials like those with which we are all familiar, strung from high towers along the coast. If the Woolworth Building's steel framework were in- sulated from the ground it would make: an ideal aerial and could be used for sending messages probably more than 1000 miles. Suppose some six or eight story building owned by Germans, with a steel framework insulated from the ground— if this were used for sending wireless mes- sages, as it might very easily be, who is going to detect or even suspect. it?

ERY few of the representatives of the American Commission for Relief in Bel- gium have come home. After their ex- periences they did not want to come home—they wanted to fight. Most of the younger men. are fighting or will fight. They have enlisted in the Belgian army, the British army or the French army. A few have begun by running ambulances, but I believe they will end by driving areoplanes. The older men are staying for work in the Red Cross and similar organizations. Of the American representatives who were the last to leave Belgium, I am the first to return to America, and I hope that I may return to France. We older men are sorry that we are considered too old to fight. It is significant, is it not, that these men who have had unusual opportunities to know just what happened at the time of the invasion of Belgium, and who know what has happened since, the men some of whom have lived in very close relations with German officers, even at head- quarters, and have heard the German arguments and have caught the German point of view—it is very significant that these keen young Amer- icans and the peace-loving older Americans &re almost unanimous in their desire to fight the ideas which they have heard expounded and the system which they have seen in actual opera- tions. For myself—and I believe that this feeling was common with us all—I did not !ook with ani- mosity upon the German soldiers, whom I saw in great numbers in Namur and Srussels, even after the formal declaration of war by the United Statess I have no complaint regarding my per- sonal treatment by the German authorities.

We here in America had begun to forget, when the stories of deportations to Germany centered For personal reasons I desired to devote my time for the winter at least to the largest life-saving undertaking in the.world. So it happened that I became a member of the com- mission for relief in Belgium. ; A friend of mine offered his services to the com- mission at the same time, and we sailed, early in December, by a Dutch ship, from which -we were landed at Falmouth. We embarked at Gravesend on a little side-wheel tub, which tossed us about on a wild North Sea from 5 o'clock in the morn- ing until 6 in the evening, when we were landed at Flushing. We were detained in Rotterdam for a week before we received from the German consular office our passes to enter Pelgium. * Finally our passes arrived, and within an hour we were on our way by steam car to Roosendahl, near the Dutch-Belgian frontier, and thence by automobile to the barbed-wire barrfer. The barrier is in Belgian territory, several kilo- meters back from the frontier. -It consists of four parallel barbed wire fenges, at least one of them electrified, stretching the entire length of the Dutch-Belgian border. This barrier is guarded by a German military patrol, but not with en- tire success. Since the war began, three years ago, many Bel- gian boys have reached military age. Either their own patriotism or the pressure of public opinion causes many of them—certainly the brav- est and best of them—to slip across the border into Holland, thence to England to the Belgian training camp and eventually to the Belgian front in France. Hundreds escape into Holland in this wavy—and there are other ways. How they do it is not a story to be told here. One must not tell all that one knows, or even thinks that he knows.

Louvain Leveled by Vandal Hands. We waited another week in Brussels before we received our automobile passes. When we re- ported to the representative of the German civil Government to be “looked over,’ he asked me whether I should have difficulty in keeping an at- titude of absolute neutrality. I replied that I should have no difficulty in preserving neutrality of speeca and act. that was scarcely to be expected of a thinking man in these stirring times. He looked at me in silence for a moment, and then turned to ques- tion another representative. However, I received my pass. During the week of waiting we visited Louvain, poor, mitilated Louvain, and then we began to realize what the violation of a country means, and what Belgium had suffered at the hands of Germany. We heard the story of the burning and shooting from a priest who was an eyewitness of much of his narrative. He was 2 kindly man, with no more of bitterness than a man of God might cherish, but sometimes his eyes blazed and sometimes they filled with tears. The burning appears to have been quite deliberate, including the destruction of the priceless library, for it was done after the city had been occupied for sev- eral days. He told of the shooting of a young student, not yet a priest, whose offense was that in his diary, found upon his person, he had writ- ten his impressions of the invasion of Belgium, and the destruction of Louvain, comparing these with the invasion of Rome by the Goths. On this ground the young man was charged with inciting the civil population to resistance. He was shot in the presence of the priest who told us the story, and he was buried where he fell. My first appointment was at Namur, a city of 30,000 inhabitants, situated at the junction of the Meuse and Sambre rivers. The town suffered little by the bombardment, though my host at afternoon tea pointed out the place where a shell had struck his house, and when I visited the lab- oratory in the Jesuit college, where bread was tested for the province, my conductor showed me the repairs made necessary to the wall of the building because of another shelf. The Hotel De- ville, the best two hotels and another building in the principal square were burned, as well as a few other buildings. How Soldiers Comport Themselves. It is but fair to say that in his relations with the Belgian people in public places the German soldier conducted himself with self-restraint. I am writing of Namur and Brussels and the early months of the present year. Theie was no mo- nopolizing of the sidewalks by German officers, nor display of a conqueror’s power in the ordinary necessary association of the military with the Belgiam people. One had no provocation to inter- fere, like Moses, because he saw an individual taskmaster smiting one of the subject people. It was not the brutality of the individual German soldier toward the individual Belgian, but the relentless iron rule by the German Government military and civil, of the Belgian people as a whole, the atrocious policy regarding certain classes and the seeming persecution of certain prominent individuals—it was these things which made it difficult for the American representative to maintain neutrality of speech and act. The policy of terrorization by fire and fusilade which characterized the invasion was succeeded by a policy of stern repression during the occu- pation. In Namur all shops must be cldésed at 5:30, all places of entertainment at 9:30, and every Belgian must be indoors at 10 o’clock. As has been stated, the soldiers were quartered in private houses and houses were appropriated en- tire. Wine and brass and copper were com- mandeered, the cooking utensils, the door handles, the stair rods, the name plates were appropriated for use in the manufacture of shalls. wonder sometimes whether in the sardonic trag- edy of things some Belgian soldier would be wounded to his death by a shell which contained a bit of brass from his mother’s covuking pot, from As for neutrality of opinions,. the handle of the nursery door in his home, or from the professional name plate of his avocat or docteur father. The household linen was in- voiced while I was in Namur, and probably by this time many of the tablecloths and napkins and sheets and pillow cases have been taken. The Belgian draft horses were the finest in the world. They have been appropriated and car- ried off to Germany, where the etock will de- generate, as it has always done away from Bel- gian soil. The cattle are following the horses. The avenues of great elms along the highways and parts of the forests of the Ardennes, as well as trees in private parks, are being cut down and carried off to the trenches for timbering. Everything Usable Is Taken Away. The machinery has been removed from the great factories and workships, destroyed with the buildings during the invasion. Having thus created an idle class among the German policy depodrts these industrial workers, nonworkers to Germany and attempts to force them, by short rations and hard conditions of living, to work for the enemy, and by releasing Germans from civil employment to contribute in- directly*to the military strength of Germany. It should be remembered that these Belgian deportes are not prisoners of war, but civilians. Among the thousands deported from the province of Na- mur were many bona fide workers, and even em- ployes of the commission for relief, and thesé last in spite of definite guarantees to the contrary. I read many lies, I saw hundreds of them on Aheir return. I have seen the restrained sorrow of 200d old Jules, our maitre d’hotel, who took leave of absence for a day to attend the funeral or his brother, slain by the.treatment he received in this exile and slavery. It was these things that made a free-born American cry out in his soul against the Egyptian bondage. During the months of March and April more than 50,000 persons were transported from their villages in the north of France and distributed among the villages of the province of Namur. These French evacues were mostly old men and women and children. The able-bodied men were in the French army, or they had been kept behind as workers. The young women of three villages at least had been separated from their families and taken to the front as ‘‘laundresses,’’ in De- cember, of they, too, had been left behind. The French were assigned to the Belgian vil- lages in such numbers as often to double the pop- ulation. The Belgians, already bearing the bur- dens of war and military occupation to the seem- ing limit of endurance, were compelled to take on this new gigantic task. They accepted the sit- uation with courage. No complaint reached our ears. They gave the unfortunate French shelter in public buildings, in the convents, in their homes. .They gave them bedding and clothes. They helped to feed them until the food supplies formerly furnished to these French villagers by the commission in France could be diverted to their new Belgian homes. Horrors of the Deportation System. On my return from a Sunday afternoon walk in March I found a Belgian waiting to report that a very efficient member of our staff, connected with the transportation department had been ar- rested, together with his wife, and that they had been carried off to the military prison. The next morning we learned that the secretary of our Provincial Committee and his wife also had been arrested at the same time. The secretary's office was in the room next to our own. I was meet- ing him every day. He was a lawyer who was giving devoted service to the work of the Provin- cial Committee. He had been ill in bed for two or three weeks previous to his arrest, and he was carried to prison in an ambulance. His brother and two nephews, the latter mere boys, were among the civilians massacred at Dinant. Why he was imprisoned I do not know. I am not sure I used to (that his family and intimate friends know. When I left Belgium in May he was in prison still, though his wife had been released. A boy becomes of military age and disappears.

Ninety- seven per cent of, the population is of British extraction. There was irony in the fact that the Australian troop ships, carrying soldiers to the tragedy of Gallipoli, were convoyed by Japanese warships. The homogeneity of the population has been a factor in making possi- ble Australia’s experiments in racial social legislation. Methods of liv- ing, ways of doing business, habits of thought, are more standardized in| Australia than in cosmopolitan America. An idea that is workable in one part of the country is gener- ally workable in another. There is no great gap between rich and poor as in this country; no insurmounta- ble barrier of conflicting interests between one section of the country and another. It has been possible, therefore, to achieve many important legislative results on a nation-wide scale, instead of by states. Universal Adult Suffrage. There is, for example, universal adult suffrage. A daylight saving bill was passed last year for the whole country. The great unions have Federal organizations, and plans are maturing for the formation of “one big union,”’ which has long been the dream of the labor leaders. It must not be understood, how- ever, that state lines are always wiped out in the Federal interest. There is particularly keen rivalry be- tween the parent states of New South Wales and the neighboring state of Vancouver. Sydney (popu- lation with its suburbs about 800,- 000), the metropolis of Australia, is the capital of New South Wales, and Melbourne (population 650,000) of Victoria. When the federation of the six states was brought about in 1900, neither of the two cities would consent to the other becoming the Federal capital. The rivalry threat- ened to deadlock the whole federa- tion proceedings. Finally a compro- mise was effected. It was agreed that a new capital city, Canberra, should be created, and that mean- time Melbourne should be the tem- porary seat of the Federal Govern- ment. Canberra is slowly being built in New South Wales, under the su- pervision of a Chicago architect, W. B. Griffin, whose plan for a model city was accepted in a competition opened to the world. Source of Much Bickering. Canberra has been the theme of endless political bickering, and Grif- fin has had a hard and thankless servatism with the most radical democracy. Republicanism is apparent in ths State ownership of the roads; con- servatism in the persistence of the first and second class distinctions. Likewise, while much is being done for society in the mass, the comfort of the individual, particularly of the woman in the home, is too often nege lected. From the Anfterican point of view, most of the houses are poorly planned, and few of them have the household conveniences to which we are accustomed. The Australians are better holiday makers than home makers. Conservatism has operated to hold back the development of thé country, except in a narrow fringe around the coast, while the new spirit of radicalism has put a Labor party in power, set Governments up in business from managing railways to fish shops, and made the Anzac one of the most dashing soldiers, and the best paid soldier in the world. Country of the Classes. : Many paradoxes confront the American sojourner in Australia, Side by side with evidences of a rad~- ical democracy is a complacent ac- ceptance of class distinctions. The Labor party at one time did attempt to make all railway coaches of one class, but the agitation got nowhere. The conflict of ideas may be read in the two series of postage stamps. When the Labor party first came into power, it adopted a distinctivs Australian stamp, showing an out- line map of the country and the fig- ure of a kangaroo. There was no suggestion on it that Australia was a part of the British empire. Then the Liberal party had its innings: and the map and the kangaroo gave way to the King's head. There are curious contradictions in Australia’s moral outlook.

It is inconceivable that the selective draft could have been made operative in a nation of more than a hundred million people without a single riot of consequence, ex- @ept for the influence of the press. And to this same influence must be attributed the wonderful progress in food conserva- tion, in co-operation of industries, and in the work of the Red Cross. America will win! And back of our tri- umph at arms, back of the reorganization of our social, industrial and economic con- ditions will lie the influence of the great American dailies. R. ZOLL. The Farmer and the Middleman. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Clyde C. C. Millar takes another shot at “food gamblers, etc.” Is a farmer who “stacks his wheat a food gambler? If he wert a farmer would he be satisfied to take $1 for his wheat, when the prices of all other commodities, including labor, are con- sidered? hen Weh, eliminates the middle- man, how will the producer sell his wheat, corn, oats, eggs. cows, hogs, and to whom? Will he buy a whole hog or would the farnier have to cut it into hams or chops? If the farmer must retail his products, who _ ‘will do his farming? Now the butcher and grocer is only a middleman, and he can't buy all the products that farmers bring in. Wherefore, surpluses accumulate. If the surplus is not taken care of it is lost, but ‘{f the surplus is bought and stored for fu- ture use the buyer becomes a middleman. If he sells at a profit he is a “thief because he gambled in foodstuffs.” If he loses he is a fool. | The United States is raising 400,000,000 bushels of winter wheat. Will Mr. Millar or any other wise one tell me just how he would handle this one commodity without the middleman. A. WHEELER, Bayonets as Lightning Rods. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Many cases of death by lightning have been recently ‘reported from our various eoldier encampments. With four such fa- talities just last week in our own county, ts it not time to adopt measures to prevent thése sad and unnecessary losses? The matter is, it seem to me, not very * complicated, but calls for prompt action by the proper authorities. What is done must have the quality of simplicity, availa- bility and effectiveness. Though the thing fe not exactly within the province of the physician, I presume to suggest something like the following: Let me first recall to mind that just as the jumping spark of the --Layden jar depends on broad knob-like sur- faces for electric accumulation until enough ig g@tMered to leap the space, a miniature ~ Beit, so the lightning stroke in the open country depends on cOmparatively troad and elevated conducting surfaces for the accumulations and discharges s0 fatal. What about the simplicity. availability and effectiveness of the following plan? On the approach of a storm, have a rifle at the top of each tent. Only the bayonet meeds to protrude above it, to pay off or @isseminate currents and prevent accumu- lation. (If the metal of the gun is in con- tact with the wet tent even what follows eeemns unnecessary.) Attach to any metal part of the gun a wire which can run out- gide the tent to the ground. And there will be no lightning bolt there. WM. SHIRMER BARKER, M. D. —— | wrongs with the conviction that they might lead | to war. The verbatim copy of the Emperor's cable ‘has come into its own by act of the recent Leg- . = | MR. GERARD’S REVELATIONS. Former Ambassador Gerard's series of articles in the (Post-Dispatch not only throws vivid light on the question of responsibility for the great war, bu¢ it supplies a complete answer to the question ywhy we are at war with Germany. Quoting sufficient excerpts from President Wil- son’s notes: to Germany, which stated fully and fairly the invaded rights of America and the wrongs inflicted upon us by Germany, Mr. Gerard gives the world a clear view of the German mind. He exposes not only Germany’s contempt for American rights and hatred of America because we refused to violate international law in Ger- many’s behalf, but he gives convincing evidence that Germany’s masters knew they were wrong- ing America and deliberately committed the message to President Wilson is an invaluable document on the question of Germany’s guilt in starting the war and her utter disrzgeard for inter- national laws and treaties and the rights of other nations. The Emperor's attitude toward America was demonstrated by his remark, “America had better look out after the war. I shall-stard no nonsense from her.” Mr. Gerard supplies links from the German side in the chain of damning evidence of Ger- many’s deliberate and admitted responsibility for forcing the United States into war. He shows that German statesmen recognized and acknowledged the wrongs inflicted on America, knew that they invited war on the part of any self-respecting na- tion, and anticipated war as a consequence, of their acts. ao In his article yesterday, recounting the phases of the submarine warfare which finally led’ to a definite admission of wrong without change of policy, Mr. Gerard states that Zimmermann frank- ly told Col. House that Germany was ready to go to war with the United States. : bearance of President Wilson in his treatment of Germany; his desire to avoid war even with heavy national sacrifices, and the complete justification of his final act in holding.

The Louisiana Council of State Defense, which ,% yj islature, is getting busy on the subject of food prices. The Legislature gave to the eouncil'a fund of $25,000 and the power of summoning wit- nesses and preparing testimony on all phases of business that are involved in the war activities. It is responsible only to the Governor and, with his consent, can obtain more money for its work before the Legislature meets next year. The first act of the countil has been to order certain dealers in foodstuffs to produce their books. For the present the names of such firms are withheld as, it is stated, the council is seek- ing information as to the source of price move- ments and does not want to do an injustice to dealers who may have been imposed upon. As soon as the price inquiry is well under way, the council will take up the matter of supply- ing farmers with seeds and of the distribution of labor. That 3,000,000,000 bushel corn crop that America will harvest this fall is calculated to fatten a lot of pigs but no German hopes. 4 i i ae REACTION’'S POWER IN GERMANY. How the old equilibrium among the classes in Germany has been upset by the war, how the poor have been growing poorer and rich either actually or relatively richer, is told in the Saturday Even- ing Post by A. Curtis Roth, former Vice Consul of the United States at Plauen. The German worker has been reduced to a po- sition little short of slavery, he says The dis- sipation of his savings has destroyed his inde- pendence. Ceaseless toil only supplies him with the barest essentials in coarse foods. His former comforts have been taken away and the enlist- ment of his wife and children in the industries has broken up his home life. Mr. Roth adds: On the other hand the war has greatly strengthened the economic position of the agrarians, the manufacturers and the big merchants. In political parlance, the war has established the reactionary elements so fast In the saddle that they no longer need or seem to care about the good will of the people. The great land owners have made great fortunes out of the war. The steel and the staple textile industries have profited enormously. The war has worked out in such a way as to give the reactionary elements of Germany a vast mortgage on the future of the masses. Now war normally has some such effect as this in all countries. It arrests the progressive ad- vances of peace, opens vast opportunities to re- actionaries, sets in motion sinister forces that must be combatted during long years after peace comes. We may be thankful for 2 wise states- mansh:» at Washington that has foreseen these evil tendencies and sought, despite petty obstruc- tionists to minimize them—to restrain exploita- tion, restrict inordinate profits, tring the cost of livelihood within moderate limits, adjust taxes 80 as to place the chief burden on wealth and not on poverty. The late contest In Congress we shall understand better in retrospect. Mr. Roth still has much respect for the Ger- mans’ military power. He would credit the claim that their defenses would enable them to fight for 50 years but for their neglect of one factor, the will of the people. He doubts whether the common men of Germany will fight even for one more No one can read the series of articles without: recognition of the extraordinary patience and for- | lon the Marne and at Verdun, names that offset litical conditions, nothing could be more oppor- ia tune and appealing, he thinks, than President Wilson’s distinction between German autocracy and German people. == ™ wre | If former Foreign Secretary Zimmermann of Germany will look over the roster of America’s volunteer soldiers, since the declaration of war, he will find a great number of those 500,000 Ger- man reservists who he said would take up arms for the Kaiser in case of a breacn. RIOTS AND SENATE SPEECHES. Prominent in Oklahoma papers this week have been reports of the anti-draft riots in that State and the oratorical duel in the Senate, in which Senator Chamberlain branded Senator Gore of Oklahoma as an obstructionist and declared that the riots “reflected the doctrine preached by the Senator.”’ The Oklahoma editors appear to agree with this sentiment. The newspapers and the mass of Oklahomans deplore the riots and many praise Gov. Williams for not calling out troops to handle the situation, thus giving the plain peo- ple an opportunity to prove their loyalty. Another item that has been prominently printed in Oklahoma is an account from Duck Hill, Miss., of a “Tom Watson meeting,” which was ad- dressed by S. S. Gore, a near relative of the Sen~ ator. The Mississippi Gore denounces the draft law as unconstitutiond] and advised slackers to appeal to Senators to keep them out of the army. He denounced Senator John Sharp Williams and approved of Senator Gore’s course. The Oklahomans intimate that they are willing that the Senator should join his family in Mis- sissippi. = = * ae a mi CASH-REGISTER PATRIOTS. The President's insistence upon a uniform price of war supplies to all of our allies in common with the United States Government, we are told from Washington, ‘is sure to provoke a storm of opposition among American manufacturers and exporters.” Quite likely in many cases. They were getting all sorts of fancy prices from } Britain and France and Russia before we entered the war. Why not thereafter? Is not business still business? Cannot the President let well enough alone? We are now lending these allies money in billions of dollars with which to pay for the supplies. What hetter business than that they should use the money in bidding up prices against our Own consumers as Well as themselves for the special enrichment of war-supply manufacturers? It is accordingly in order to ask why we should not shoot our allies in the back as we all move together in battle with the common enemy? It amounts to the same thing. The side with. the stronger nerve may win the war, as Hindenburg says, but the stronger nerve is going to be found ultimately on the side of the stronger economic force, and extortion for anybody’s private gain is not going to strengthen the economic force of the allied cause.

Hinden- burg. But admitting that new successes may come, will they bring any more tangible results than the old ones? — German publicists complain that the German fighters have been deprived of the fruits of their old and brilliant successes. But where are the successes from which any fruits of importance could have been expected? The 125,000,000 of the Teutonic league overwhelmed the 7,074,910 Bel- gians. They scattered the 250,000 Montenegrans. They gained victories over the 1,383,784 Servians, who still avow themselves unbeaten. They thrust back the 6,392,273 Rumanians. But when they encountered an enemy worthy of their strength, the central Powers were beaten the humiliation of Sedan and Metz. If they have fought the Russians with varying results, it must be remembered that the Russians once pene- trated almost as far into Galicia as the Germans have penetrated into Poland and that the Rus- sians now hold at least half as many Teutonic eaptives as the Germans hold of Rus- sian captives. They have had to vield much to Italy. Routed on the water they are denied all but a restricted use of narrow seas. Did the Ger- mans hope to win the war by tramping on a few small, ill-equipped peoples? What are the import and scene of the ‘“‘new suc- cesses” Hindenburg is promising? Is he plan- ning to win a struggle against four great Euro- pean Powers and the United States by trampling on Greece? ? _ ——¢4-—_____-— THE STANDARDIZED SHIP. The announcement in the House of Commons that the first af timo ficet of standardized mer- chant ships being built by Great Britain would be ready for the water by the first of Septem- ber marks an important step in the campaign against the submarine menace. The ships are to be of 8000 tons gross each. Standardization is the key to great construction and speed in building. It may have taken six months or a year to turn out the first ship, but hereafter the vessels will be launched. in large numbers and at decreasing intervals. As the shipyard workers become more adept in placing the pattern parts together, so will the number of §000-ton freighters added to the transatlantic trade increase. The Ford plant at Detroit, which turns out more than 1000 automobiles a day, is probably the last word in standardization in the United States. Of course, a big ship and a small automobile are not the same thing, but the principle of standardiza- tion applies equally to the manufacture of pins and caterpillar tractors. Hard work and consid- erable time are required to turn out the first article, but thereafter, providing that the rew material and the labor are at hand, production be- comes a mere matter of routine. America, too, is beginning the construction of standardized ships, and it requires no expert naval constructor to visualize the great output of the English and American yards when once th pattern ships are completed and the work is be- year. In view of the changed social and po- | gun on turning out standardized freighters. q _ pom seed age a ee Se i Oe a NI NI . - nappies —_— —e —~. - — Rg Oa gg gy nn, Oy sama GIy lg, ee L JUST A’ MINUTE = a eo ee er = . mega ag ag ee Oe THE WEEKLY WAR SUMMARY. T is just as well last week is over. We had a ter- | rible time getting out a peper every day on what war news there was, nor was there any use try- ing to stir things up. Still, it gave us a good idea how dull it is going to be when the war is over, and served to remind us that we cannot always expect a daily news diet of ten or fifteen thousand people killed. We shall have to come back some time to wed- dings, divorces, controversies with respect to’ locat- ing garbage plants, and the little frets and frolics making up what we ordinarily know as life. We sent a collection of those more or less unhistorical inci- dents ahead in the paper this week, and they had a wonderful effect upon everybody fighting. The Ger- mans, who are on page 2, wept when they saw them and began to talk about going home, while the Bus- sians, who are very domestic and have even larger families than the Germans, became so unmanagable that Kerensky almost wore himself out. So it was just as well to have a quiet week such as this has been. We are going to have a great many quiet years, and if the war is as successful as a good many of us hope to make it, there is a question whether things shall ever be as stirring again as they have been the past three years. Mr. Wilson, who seems to see a Httle further both ways than anyone else on earth just now, is confident that the war can be made the means of more or less permanent quiet if prosecuted to its proper end; and as long as we are furnishing most of the money and supplies, to say a>thing of men, the rest of the world seems to be willing to stick it out to that much-desired consum- mation. There is, then, a growing probability that the time will come when a good account of a dog fight in the paper will be news of the first calibre, and it is just as well to pause now and then in our headlong consumption of unquestioned history and practice getting along with nothing more exciting, say, than society or the playful seriousness of Just a Minute. The impression that the war is not to be won by fighting was somewhat heightened in the paper dur- ing the week by what occurred on the first and sec- ond pages. The allies first took a hard go at the Ger- mans, and then the Germans took a hard go at the allies. Aside from knocking the type down somewhat and displacing a couple of illustrations, there was no result from either of these drives, the allies alone gaining, and that only what is known in the printing business as a few nonparell lines. The war is going to be won by wits, and not by hits. Thus, what Mr. Root said in Russia is probably doing more to whip Germany on that front than the Russians themselves. Great politics are afoot in the paper and they far overshadow armies and navies. The impression that the allies were going to win because the British were on their side is much stronger now that America has also declared war on Germany. The British are the best politicians in Europe, and we are the best poli- ticians on this continent. It looks mighty blue for the Germans. One can see them any time one cares to look them up, sitting around here and there on page 2 in thoughtful groups, trying to think of something they can put overonus. What they lack in the opin- ion of our editorial writers, is that dissembling of Written for the POST-DISPATCH } By, Clark McAdams —— a et - Oe ee a ee — eee Oe me SI OO gy Se which the British and Americans are capable. A Ger- man politician has his whole intention in his face. One can tell exactly whether he is going te boost the rise or drop out, something neither a Briton nor an American ever betrays. Just a Minute, who watched them a while this week, came back and doubled all his bets. He says it is poker against skat. The President's little shindy with Senator Reed, which has attracted some attention on page 1 for the past few weeks, ended on Thursday, when the Senator got an almost life-size picture of Herbert Hoover dropped on him from the top of the page. He was picked up with a flapjack flipper and removed to the back of the paper somewhere, probably to one of the health resorts. The President has made a tremendous impression as a leader since the war began. When he wants a thing, he goes after it with a directness that astonishes the old political strategists of the round- about school. How much of controversy and confus- ion have escaped because of his adroitness we can- not say, but it has been great. Answers, who has made something of a study of the President’s method, says Mr. Wilson has what is known in political science as a beartrap attack. That is, he waits until the other fellow steps on him in just the right place, and suddenly jumps up and grabs him on two holds at once, genérally the scruff of the neck and the slack of the pants. That is all for the other fellow. It is pretty hard for some of the self-constituted Brobdingnags of Congress to believe that the President has it on them fifteen ways, but they will probably all know it be- fore the world is really safe for democracy. Anyway, this week you shall learn what it looks like from Twelfth street. ee IN SIGNS. Sir: I hereby make application for a sign hunter's ee ee found in Ft.

WING COMMANDER PORTE T00 ILL TO APPEAR FOR TRIAL Specialists Say He Has Tuberculosis —Charged With Accepting Money From Airplane Company. LONDON, Aug. 11.—When Wing Commander John\ C., Porte .of the Royal Navy air service, and his co- defendants were called today in the Bow Street Police Court in the Cur- tiss airplane case, counsel told the Court that specialists had said the commander was suffering from tu- berculosis and was bedridden from hemorrhage of the lungs. He added it was uncertain when the defendant would be able to appear. William A. Cashoon, a retired Brit- ish civil servant, was charged by the British authorities with conspiring with Wing Commander Porte and Lyman H. Seeley, formerly general sales manager of the Curtiss Airplane Co., to contravene unlawfully the provision of the British Prevention of Corruption act of 1908. It was charged by the Attorney-General] that large sums of money had been paid and received corruptly from time to time by Porte, as an agent of the Crown in respect to certain contracts between the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the Curtiss Air- plane Co. Commander Porte was taken ill during the court proceedings on Aug. 8 and at the time was forced to leave PORTUGUESE INDORSE WAR eDputies Express Confidence in Gov- ernment’s Actions.

All Australia made a holiday of the occasion. . Triumphal arches were erected, and at ban- quets and receptions the Americans were lionized. The visitors were taken into the homes and the hearts of the people. Australia could not do enough for them. Wine-warmed sentiments were exchanged, and the Australians felt :that a union be- tween the two countries had been cemented. Ever since, they have dated events from the visit of the American fleet, and it is the first thing that an Australian is likely to mention when introduced to an American. Then the war came—the invasion of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusi- tania, the continued reports of Ger- man atrocities and the loss of Amer- ican lives. America did not enter the war, and Australia wondered. So it came about that Australians experienced a revulsion of feeling. Many of the newspapers, influenced, I have no doubt, by a desire to loosen the grip that America was getting on trade, sedulously culti- vated the impression that America— fat, heartless, indifferent to the suf- ferings of the warring countries— was solely concerned in getting rich out of the war. It was an unpleas- ant time for many American resi- dents of Australia. America Restore dto Pedestal, Slowly there came a realization of America’s difficult position, and, among the thoughtful, the belief that America in the early stages of the war had aided the allies more by supplying munitions than she could: have done as an active belli- gerent. Judgment, however, was not altogether favorable till America entered the war. Now America has been restored to the old pedestal. The American in Australia is apt to be confused at first by the accent and by the different names that are given to many common things. The typical Australian pronounces his long a somewhat as if it were i. So “face” is sounded like “fice” and “Australia” like ‘“‘Aus- trylia.’’ An American woman went into a Melbourne shop to buy some cloth out of which to make a blackboard for her children. There was none in stock, but the salesman told her that what she wanted was “sleigHMt” cloth. She wrote it down that way, thinking it had some connection with a magi- cian’s paraphernalia. Not till she had reached home and studied her shopping list did it dawn on her that what the salesman meant was “slate”’ cloth. “Lieutenant” in Australia becomes the British “leftenant,” and ‘‘clerk” is pronounced “clark.” “Croquet’’ is accented on the first syllable. In the newspapers a person rarely ‘says’’ anything; he “states” or “intimates”’ or “notifies’’ it, the last-named be- ing curiously used as an intransitive verb. Where the American writer says “a portion” the Australian says “portion’’ without the article. : Lewis, Beker The questions answered below are gen- eral in character, the symptoms or dis- he answers will osing aald nedveesea stamped envelope for reply.

An’ Ameri- can woman is certain to be sorely puzzled the first time she goes shop- ping. On the whole, the Australian speaks better English than the American. and uses. less slang. The grammatical correctness of the school children’s speech is especially noticeable. ‘“Ain’t” is virtually un- known, and in place of “ain’t I’ or “am I not,” at which the American nearly always shies, the Australian usually says ‘“‘aren’t I.”’ Conversation is on general lines; you may be with a man for a week and never learn his business unless you ask him point-blank. It simply does not occur.to him to talk shop. The educated Australian displays a wide range of information on gen- eral topics—history, politics, social movements, the affairs of the Euro- pean countries. And he is likely to have an amazing lot of information about America which he has gath- ered from books and magazines. Most Australians are omnivorous readers. Book stores, or “stalls,’’ are numerous and do a large busi- ness. Melbourne has a book store that is said to be the largest in the world. It is an‘arcade cutting through the center of a block, ani many use it in going from one street to another. If one is at all bookish- ly inclined, it is almost impossible to resist the temptation of the huge stacks that line each side of the pas- sageway. The prices are remarkably cheap. Generally speaking, a book that would cost $1.50 in America can be had in Australia for 50 cents less. Nearly all the classics can be bought in shilling editions, and of many there are even cheaper reprints in paper covers. American Books Widely Read. Both American books and maga- zines are Widely read. O. Henry's books in particular have attained a great vogue, and I think they are largely responsible for the admix- ture of American slang in Australian speech. The two best selling books in Aus- tralia today are books of verses by a young Australian poet, C J. Den- nis. The first is “The Sertimenta) Hloke,’ which teJls the adventures of a Melbourne “larrikin” (tough person), and its companton is “‘Gin- ger Mick,” detailing the adventures of an Australian soldier on Gallipoli. Nowhere has the spirit of the Anzacs been better expressed than in “The Singing Soldiers,”’ one of the “Ginger Mick” collection. The lilt- ing melody its in keeping with the title. Here are some sample stanzas —the Bloke is quoting a letter he ” Norw | nF. DN” he vt.

Antiseptic diite on a big day at Flemington, thé wagers ranging from. a shilling to hundreds of pounds. On each betting ticket the State Government collects a tax. All the states except Victoria have installed the totalis- ator, a betting machine, from which _ the state collects a percentage. An interesting sidelight on betting machines was afforded by a recent incident in Sydney. A man there had drawn in Tattersall’s—a lottery Geciared illegal by the Federal Gov- ernment but legalized by the Tas- manian State Government—a ticket with the name of one of the starters in an important race. As it stood the ticket was worth $500. and it weuld be worth $25,000 if the horse won. He went to the owner of the horse and, as the newspapers said, “offered to give him the usual cut” if the horse won. The owner, much to ths amazement of the ticket hold- er, declined the offered cut—half the prize money—saying he did not believe in the practice. The significance of this lies in the fact that it has become an unwrit- ten law for the winner of a big prize in “Tatt’s” to divide with the owner of the winning horse. If the tjcket holder fails to make the offer, the owner may demand the “cut,” and threaten, as a penalty for non-com- pliance, the withdrawal of his horse from the race. In Sydney not long ago a horse was withdrawn to punish a ticket holder who had refused to give his eonsent to this pleasant form of burglary, and other cases of the game kind are on record. Politics a “Major Sport.” Along with racing, prize fighting, football and cricket, politics ranks as one of the major sports. They play politics 24 hours in the day in Australia and 12 months in the year. During the Christmas holidays there was a brief cessation of political activity, most of the politicians hav- ing gone on a vacation, and in con- sequence the morning papers, which are largely political organs, had very Wttle local news. Politics is taken much more seriously and continu- eusty in Australia than in America; the difference is somewhat the same as that between cricket, which geerns to the American to drag on endlessly, and baseball. which is played within definite limits and LEMON JUICE 15 A SNIN WHITENER AND A BEAUTIFIER Prepare a quarter pint of beauty lotion at about the cost of a small jar of cold cream.

She woudn’t care to be a cop and regulate the traffic, For every passer-by would stop to catch her smile seraphic ‘A fireman’s lot she’ll tell you true no calling could be sadder, And, though her best she'd try to do, Another job she’d not essay, though some would think it jolly; She wouldn’t want to be a gay conductor on the trolley.

J. Jones, U. S. A., Was happy as a springtime jay.

It is not necessary to use sugar in putting up your watch. Some persons tie double bow knots in cucumbers before pickling them. This involves additional labor and adds nothing to their flavor. In Quincy, where the quinces come from, they put in two quarts of sugar for every quince. The only way to improve preserves made in this manner is to leave the quinces out. Contrary to general belief, cab- bage does not make the best jam. It is much inferior in this respect to raspberries and currants. Cab- bage lacks the needed consistency, except in odor. Here is a secret process for pre- serving eggs indefinitely. Carefully notch the corners of the shells with a sharp pocketknife. If there is no. knife handy your husband’s razor will do. Then put the eggs, one-by- one, through the wash wringer. If they do not break put them in 4s cold storage plant. If they do break it is a sign that you didn’t have the right sort of eggs to start with. In stringing rhubarb for preserv- ing always string away from you, not toward you. Then cut the pieces half as short as you have been ac- customed to cut them and thcy will keep twice as long. Old golf balls have little food value. Recent experiments in the Dietetics Department of the Chicag. University have proven conclusively that they do not make as good catsup as tomatoes.

They were debating the Oklahoman’s opposition to the food bill and other measures asked by the President in the conduct of the war, and Senator Gore expressed disbelief in anybody seriously construing his attitude toward any of these things as being unpatriotic. Senator Chamber- lain answered that the Oklahoman must be mistaken about that, since the most serious riots against con- scription anywhere in the country were going on at that very moment in Oklahoma, where it was to be pre- sumed that if the people were influ- enced by the leadership of anyone at Washington they probably fol lowed to some degree their own United States Senator. There was no way in which this neat stroke could be parried in debate, so Sen- ator Gore did all he could do—he sat down. The Returning Russians.

One of them, who didn’t look like what we now know to be an I. W. W., had been going over the mining business of the State. He said: Arizona belonged to the people of the State, they would maintain ev- ery man, woman and child in Ari- zona, Indians and all, without @ foot of agricultural land on top of ground being touched.” That being the case, why didn’t the mines of Arizona be- long to the people? ‘Lhe coal situa- tion suggests a beginning. The last time we saw King Coal he was fitting his crown on with a No. 6 wire under his chin. Poor Lo and the Auto. _ .

The entrance of the Queen precedes the floral ballet. The floral ballet represents the au- tumn flowers, typifying the rich color- ings and the somber grays which are to predominate in fall and winter apparel. Immediately following the floral bal- let will be a display of modish suits and coats for street wear, showing the new popular colorings as represented in the floral offerings, which will be worn by living models, who will pass from the stage through the audience, giving the spectators an opportunity to view street and afternoon gowns. The mili- tary spirit is shown in suits of decided cut, fitting the figure snugly, and olive- drab is oné of the popular shades for street wear. No one influence dom- inates the styles this season. The Rus- sian, Chinese and Japanese influences are strongly felt. Spirit of Liberty Appears. The next number is ‘‘Nature’s Offering to Liberty.” The Spirit of Liberty, dressed in white, appears, with the bal- let bearing sheaves of grain and gar- lands of flowers and autumn fruits, which they place on the altar of liberty.

Good Sale of Tickets. The progress in the ticket sale has been gratifyiny. All the children are working with increasing zeal in this sale as the dato of the entertainment approaches. Not only are they selling every possible ticket in the West End residence district, but they are also mak- ing excursions into the business sections of the city in the interest of the sale of tickets. Many business houses, in addition to making purchases of the tickets, have donated articles that will be placed on sale after the entertain- ment. The Cl.icago office of the Martha Washington Candy Co. has written to Mrs. Hopkins that it will be glad to do- nate five pourd:s of candy. The cool weather of the last few days is not hindering the progress of the ar- rangements for ‘iced air’’ in the hall. Ice is to be placed in the galvanized containers in front of each electric fan which will blow the fresh, cool breeze through the hall all evening, no matter how hot it may be outside. At the conclusion of the vaudeville program there will be dancing. Many West End young people are planning to attend the dance. Maxwell Goldman will furnish the dance music. Refresh- ments will also be served after the pro- “gram, Plians for Baseball Game. The baseball game that is to be play- ed at the Cardinal Baseball Park be- tween the best team that the letter car- riers and the firemen can assemble is another of the larger benefits that have been arranged for the Milk and Ice Fund this season. In addition.to the baseball game, the Letter Carrier's band will play, the fire- men's drill team will give an exhibition, and cabaret singers have been engaged. Both firemen and letter carriers will endeavor to sell their allotments of 4000 tickets and 2000 will be supplied to the gate. The tickets will sell for 25 cents each. The letter carriers’ team, whose mem- bers say they do not have as much leisure for practice as the firemen, are nevertheless devoting all their spare time to preparing for the contest The firemen have had several practice games, and are tentatively selecting players to meet the letter carriers. Misses Loretta O’Brien and Rita Mar- shall have completed plans for a vaude- ville entertainment and lawn fete to be given on the lawn at 6203 North Market street, tomorrow evening. The children, who are interested in the suc- cess of this entertainment, have been rehearsing their parts for several weeks in addition to vigorously pushing the sale of tickets. Each child who will have apl ace on the program was gse- lected because of some special talent in entertaining. Tuesday night a vaudeville entertain- ment will be given by a group of talent- ed children at the Weintraub Hall, 1414 N. Grand avenue. The program will be made up of vocal selections and vau- deville numbers. Tickets are 5 and 10 cents. A lemonade stand that was conducted several days ago by Margaret and Ed- mund Jarvis of 1030 Sutter avenue, and Louise and Gladys Stotler, of 6512 Cham- berlain avenue, yielded $14. The chil- dren had the stand at Sutter and Maple avenues. Folk Dances and Songs. Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week several children will present juvenile folk dances and songs on a stage constructed on the lawn at 4928 Lotus avenue. The lawn will be hand- somely decorated. The work of the children which they initiated, has at- tracted the attention of some of the grown persons of the neighborhood, and the scope of the entertainment has been widened. The children have set $60 | ' ; as the sum they will endeavor to ob- | tain for the aid of the poor babies.

DRASTIC SLAUGHTER OF CATTLE FOUND NECESSARY IN GERMANY Farmers and War Bureau Represen- tatives Say Action Is Imperative Because of Fodder Shortage. COPENHAGEN, Aug. 11.—Representa- tives of the German farming interests and the War Fuud Bureau at a recent meeting in Berlin decided that the shortage of fodder necessitated drastic slaughtering of cattle this summer and autumn. To avoid the earlier mistake of wast- ing fodder and barely keeping the cat- tle alive through the winter, the farm- ers were advised to market all except milch cows, indispensable draft cattle now largely replacing horses, and such animals for which winter fodder to keep them in good condition: was available. The measure was recognized as dan- gerous to meat rations this winter and in 1918, to the future of the livestock in- dustry, but the hopes of the farmers, it was said, were set on an early peace.

Se + EN THE GASOLINE CAVALRY CHARG a Aa With the French Tanks During a Typical Battle NDOUBTEDLY the most serviceable and effective mechanical de- , x vice put into action during the three years of the great war has_ | : seme =e been the tank—-that armored leviathan that tears through barbed- % wire entanglements as if they were so much fine silk thread, and clambers over deep trenches and yawning shell holes as if they didn’t exist, spitting fire from front and sides and careening through the enemies’ machine gun and artillery barrages safe in the invulnerability of its thick skin. True, the submarine and the bombing aeroplane have done more damage than the tank, but it must be remembered that these devices of the air and under the sea were developed long before 1914. The tank, which in its chrysalis stage was an innocent peaceful farm tractor, invented in America, did not acquire its wings or its war fangs until the battle of the Somme last year. Since that time they have been used by the scores, gaining in effectiveness with each action. The first of the species is British by birth but the newest tanks, de- veloped and improved by the French are the real terrors of the western front. Whereas the British engine was able to lumber across trenches and wire barriers, the present French tank mows down whole forests in its path and stops for no obstacle that can be thrown in its path. Heavy shells or lack of gasoline are the only things that can drive the “gasoline cavalry” of Gen. Petain from the field. im Sst es PM ast se see.

As for shape, the French tanks were not so fantastic as the British, being more along the lines of a square steel box, terminating in front in a ship-like bow and a slanting steel-cutting member. The quick- firing pieces of the French tanks were prob- ably short-range field guns firing a three-inch shrapnel or high-explosive shell. The eriginal French tank has been eclipsed by a larger and more powerful tank, which made its debut on May 6, during the second — Eg.)

Mata Hari, of Dutch-Javanese parentage, ordered exe- cuted by French courtmartial at 38, has left a trail of ro- mance and tragedy unequaled Burma to Paris she drew men to death and disgrace :: HE remarkable life stories of Lola Montez and Miladi of Alexander Dumas’ imagina- tion, “les dames sans merci,” hitherto un- surpassed for the trails of tragedies and broken hearts they left in their lurid wakes, are paralleled by another woman, who is likely to go down in ignoble history as the greatest adventuress of her generation. This woman is Marguerite Mata Hari, who has been condemned by a Frenck tribunal as a German spy and ordered executed. The judgment of the courtmartial may have alrealy been carried out. Military officials are usually in no great haste to make public announce- ments of events of this character. The story of Mile. Mata Hari, as related by a noted musician and composer who is now in this country, and who knew her for several years, besides following her career for several more, makes fiction seem pallid and innocuous. From the time she was 3 years old until the revenge of a rejected and betraved sweetheart brought her to a firing squad the life of Mata Mari has been replete with adventure, romance and tragedy. From Burma, in British India, and from Java to Paris, she blazed her trail, her remarkable personal magnetism and verve carrying her triumphantly wherever she wished to go. The musician, in telling the story of Mata Hari, said that four years ago he was asked by her to write the nusic for some Oriental dances she was planning to give at Monte Carlo, where she had been a great favorite for several years. Owing to an affair between her and a high official of the German Government, the composer called only once at her home at Neuilly-sur-Seine, just outside of Paris. “This German,’ he said, “was extremely jealous of her and I feared that if he saw her dancing for me alone there would have at least been a scandal and possibly a duel.” The musician said that for years Mata Hari had cap- tivated men in high places. He told of her career from the time she was an infant in Java, the daughter of a wealthy Dutch planter, through the Dutch East Indies and into India, whither her mother had fled with her; how she became a religious dancer in a Buddhist temple in Burma and how ultimately she tired of the celibacy vow and ran away with an English Baronet. He told of the tragic death of Mata Hari’s son, born of this uhion and how she took the law into her own hands and avenged him: of her flight from her husband and India and of His- ultimate disgrace and death and how she reached Paris reduced from her state of Oriental wealth to one of complete penury and distress. “Then she set about to captivate Paris,’’ said the com- poser. ‘2m ts > oe a , oe * * +4 Re > Stine, Maen «x , CAS he Re a? > aad Be “ x >,” . - ig % eee pc eS fs charged had persuaded a gardener to put some arsenic in the food that had been prepared for the child. The tragic sequence and scandal which fol- lowed the death of the boy is still remembered by old-timers in India. Mata Hari started an investigation of the poisoning independent of the British authorities and finally, in her own mind, fixed the guilt upon one of her gardeners. She took a revolver and coolly walking into the garden where the man was working, placed it against his head and shot him dead. Mata Hari was arrested, but owing to the prominence of her husband every effort was made to suppress the news and hush up the scandal. Finally she was told that she would have to leave British India. Her husband expressed his willingness to resign from the English service and take her anywhere she wished to go, but this did not fall in with Mata Hari’s plans in the slightest. She was tired of India, but much more tired of her husband. One night she left the house with her daugh- ter. The husband sought for her futilly for a time. The disgrace of the killing combined with the running away of his wife, was too much for his pride-and he shot himself. In the-meantime, Mata Hari had made her way to Marseilles and so to Holland. There she placed her daughter in a convent and proceeded to Paris, where she found herself in extreme poverty. The sma!! fortune that had been left her by her father, according to Her dancing attracted the richest men in Paris to her side. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—-ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH--AUGUST 12, 1917, the Dutch inheritance laws, had reverted to her child and she was without means. In a short time, however, Paris awoke to the remarkable charm of this half-breed wom- death.” She took a revolver and, coolly walking into the garden where the man was working, placed it against his head and shot him dead. an. Soon she was the center of the night life of the city. Her dancing attracted the richest men in Paris to her side. She met many who professed great love for her and offered marriage. Finally she met a wealthy German, an official high in the counsels of his Government. He bought a great man- sion for her at Neuilly-sur-Seine and furnished it. with Oriental splendor. For a year she lived\there. Then she tired of her German.” He Was extremely jealoug He would not permit her to talk to other men or even dance for anvone but himself. There were many scenes between the hot-headed woman and the stubborn, jealous German and she finally left him. Her next capture was a former Finance Minister of France. Later, through him, she met his brother-in- law. She fell in love with him and he with her. This man, at the time, was the managing director of a great bank in Paris. He deserted his wife and children and purchased .a magnificent chateau in Touraine, where he installed Mata Hari. For two years the couple lived there. The banker lavished jewels upon the woman and lived on a scale of luxury that was the wonder of the countryside. Then one day the police entered the bank and arrested the managing director. He was tried and convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to two years at hard labor. Mata Hari did not long repine for her banker. In a few weeks she returned to the German at Neuilly-sur-Seine. This is but a brief outline of her career. It is said in Paris that more than a score of men deserted their fam- ilies for this woman and several careers were wrecked through her. At least six suicides have been traced to her magnetic charm and demoralizing influence. Says her musician-biographer: “When I saw in the newspapers that Mile. Mata Hari had been sentenced to death as a German spy, the inside history of her adventurous life at once unfolded before me. I believe that when the whole truth is known it will be found that the ruined banker was the man who de- nounced her. During their life together he assuredly learned many things concerning her connection with the German and with the German Government. He learned that while he was in prison and subsequent to the be- ginning of the war she had been living in great wealth m Paris and traveling throughout all Europe. She was a woman eminently qualified to act as a secret agent for Germany. As a Dutch subject she was at liberty to travel anywhere, and it is quite certain that she had the facilities of obtaining information which would have been impossible for Germany to obtain elsewhere. “It was a life which would appeal to her—that of @ spy. Her greatest delight was in exercising her influ- .ence to control persons with whom she came in contact, and her influence was miraculous. Her constant com- panion was a German woman, her maid, whom she al- ways called Anna. I am interested to know wha&t part Anna has played in the tragedy. “The sinister character in Dumas’ great romance was not more cunning or adventurous nor played for higher stakes than did Mile. Mata Hari. In many respects their histories should be printed in parallel columns. But I believe that for adventure, for cunning, for her great influence over the destiny of those with whom she came in contact, Mile. Mata Hari was more dreadful than ‘Miladi.’ “Not until I know that she is buried; that she has failed to corrupt her jailers and even the men detailed for duty in the firing squad, will I believe that she has played her last card. “She was a woman who would have succeeded in any- thing in life that she might have undertaken. She was brilliant, she was everything that men admire. Despite all that I know of her and of the misery that she has caused, somewhere down in my heart I feel a great sym- pathy for her. I, for one, would not send her to her The career of Miladi is, of course, familiar to all who have read Dumas “Three Musketeers.”" She is probably the greatest adventuress of fiction. At different times she is depicted as acting as the secret agent of Cardinal Richelieu and the Duke of Buck@ngham. Miladi wasa woman of remarkable beauty and great personal mag- ~~ netism and through them was able to wield an influence ~~ in high places. She was finally executed by the three musketeers after the battle of Dunkirk. . PAGE THREE a 7: Beige:

The sub- ject, however, has been studied from the standpoint of the statistician, with interesting results. ' For instance, it has been determined that a great many more persons commit self-murder in the Pacific coast cities and in the Rocky Mountain region than in the centers of population on the Eastern seaboard, the Southern states or the Middle West, and that in addi- tion to being influenced by geographical location persons bent on destroying themselves usually choose a season of the year in which one would suppose optimism would be at its height among all mankind. More men commit suicide between the ages of 45 and 54 than at any other period of life; more women between the ages of 25 and 3 With the former, shooting is the chief method of destruction; with the latter, poison. San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento, Cal., show the highest suicide rates of any cities in the country from which statistics have been obtained. Why this should be so Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician of the Prudential Insurance Co., who conMiles annually the results of his invéstigation into suicide in 100 cities in all parts of the United States, does not attempt to explain at length, He expresses the opinion, however in his report for 1915, that perhaps the rate per 100,000 popula- tion of 63.3 for San Diego and 55.7 for San Francisco may not be entirely*fair on account of the great influx of transients to those cities when the world expositions were held there in the previous year. This explains the high rate only in part, however, for these cities and others on the Pacific coast have been at the top of the list for as far back as statistics are available—more than 25 years. In other quarters the theory has been advanced that a large proportion of suicides in California undoubtedly have been among persons who have gone there for their health, the attractions of California for invalids being well known. With respect to the still high, but dimin- ishing rate of the region to the east of California, the tocky Mountain states, it is suggested that inasmuch as ihis part of the country is largely inhabited by persons ie Se aes ‘ seeking their fortunes a large proportion of the suicides reported from there might be among those who have failed in their quest and become despondent. It is a fact, too, that fewer business failures are recorded in the East than in the Pacific region. For the purposes of comparison Dr. Hoffman has di- vided the country into five districts—Eastern, Central Southern, Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast. He found the lowest mortality from suicide, both for 1915 and the previous decade, to be in the Eastern district, with a rate per 100,000 population, in 1915, of 16.4. The South- ern district was a little higher, with 17.9, then came the Rocky Mountain, with 23.4; the Central, with 24.1, and the Pacific coast, with 34.3. In only one district was an in- crease of 4.8 per cent over the five years from 1910 to 1914 was sufficient to place it ahead of the Rocky Mountain district, which theretofore had been higher. All other dis- tricts showed a decrease. Doubtless due to the greater strain and strife in the large centers of population, the statistics show that sui- cides are of greater frequency in cities of 250,000 inhab- itants and over than in communities under 250,000. In 1915 the rate in the former was 21.1 per 100,000 popu- lation and in the latter 18.2. It is a rather remarkable fact, however, that in the year 1913 the rate for the smaller cities was a little in excess of that for the larger. The relation of suicide to business failures is strikingly brought out in the figures for the year 1908, following the panic of 1907. Apparently a maximum figure was at- tained in 1908, when the rate for the country reaehed 21.8 per 100,000 of population. In that year the number of business failures per 1000 concerns was 11. In 1914 and 1915 also the suicides increased with an increase in the number of failures. The suicide rates were 20.7 and 20.3 and the business failures 1fand 13.2 respectively. The lowest suicide rate for the entire United States in the last two decades and a half was 11.9 per 100,000 in 1890. The actual number of suicides has, of course, increased stead- ily with the growth in population. The figures compiled by Dr. Hoffman show that more persons commit suicide during the months of May and June than at any other period of the year. It is for the physicians and sociologists to explain just why this should be. It was found that the minimum number oc- curred in January.

Many more men commit suicide than women. The , rate for the former, based on the findings for 1915, was 24.1 per 100,000 of population and for the latter 7.7. An interesting fact in connection with the study of suicide in relation to sexes was the discovery that the rates of suicidal frequency among women at the ages under 20 are higher than at all subsequent periods of life. St. Louis stands well up in the list, with a rate of 37. « ber 100,000, which is an increase of 2.9 over the we- crease in rate shown; that was the Central, and the in- ceding quinquiennial period. The city of Holyoke, Mass., had the lowest rate, 3.1 per 100,000. In the 100 cities from which returns were obtained the average rate was 20.3 per 100,000. - A special inquiry into local conditions is suggested for Springfield, Ill., where the rate was 30.4, although this was a decrease of 0.7 from 1910-14. “The suicide problem is not diminished in social im- portance because of the slight decrease in the rate during the year under review,’ says Dr. Hoffman. ‘The evi- dence is fairly conclusive that in a sufficient proportion of cases the evidence of self-murder is not established to the satisfaction of the Coroner or the Board of Med- ical Inquiry. With an increasing intelligence, it is a foregone conclusion that more subtle methods and means will be employed by the person contemplating self-mur- der to make it more and more difficult to establish the fact of suicide to the satisfaction of the public. It is therefore a reasonable inference, from such evidence as is available, that the actual mortality from suicide is greater than the recorded ‘mortality as derived ex- clusively from official sources. “The modern increase in suicide is, in part, attributa- ble to exceptionally convenient facilities for self-murder, particularly by poison. Laws or municipal ordinances governing the sale of poison at the present time seem not to be properly enforced in many communities. From whatever point of view the subject is considered, it is quite clear that the increasing frequency of suicide in the United States demands the most earnest consideration of those who may be in a position to direct public atten- tion to one of the most serious problems of the present day.”’ The Giticial “Ki $10,000,000 and left $5,000,000 to his relatives, of his descendants. ‘‘My father,” Francis S.

Nothing could have been easier.”’ Thus began the Peabody millions. wholesaling fol- lowed retailing, in the process of development. Next, land and mines were purchased. Once, it is said, 150,000 acres containing coal were owned by Mr. Peabody and his associates. No single holdings in this country up to that time had ever been so extensive. Last spring Mr. Peabody bought 130,000 acres of coal ° — ' ra (Continued From Page 4.) land for himself and others. He has owned mines in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Wyoming and Oklahoma. At present he is giving all his time to the Government. He says that he has retired from active private business. But no man can wholly with- draw himself orshis millions from the great enterprises that he has created. The Peabody coal is still running mills, railroads and factories. In Chicago, the retail branch of the business owns 100 motor trucks and a thousand horses. Stations have been established in all parts of the city. Coal is un- loaded from railroad cars into huge bins having gates at the pottom and wagons @re filled without any shoveling. Eighteen million dollars is the capital of the company, The sales total $22,000,000 yearly. No retail coal or- canization, anywhere in the world, it is said, is so ex- tensive.

Perhaps in these summer days it is difficult for one to grow intensely ntterested in the question of fuel, but the problem is one that demands immediate 80- lution unless the country is prepared to see its war plans go awry and its residents undergoing hard- ships this winter. In this age of machinery coal ia the basis of all manufacture and personal comfort. Without the mine eral fuel there can be no ship building, no equip- ment for armies and, in fact, no industry, warlike or otherwise. From the standpoint of personal comfort, avell, just imagine the price of coal so high nest winter that you can't afford to feed the furnace. The price of coal has advanced to such an ex- tent a@nd so grave a problem has been created by this fact that the Government has taken the situation in hand, and has selected one of America’s coal barons to handle it not only for this country but for our al- lies across,the water as well. This monarch of the fuel fields is Francis S. Peabody of the War Coal Board, an auriliary of the Council of Defenke. ' Mr. Peabody today is not only the spokesman for the Government in all matters pertaining to coal, but he also represents ‘the coal corporations of the country. He himself is one of the biggest mine oper- ators in the United States and is best qualified to dis- cuss the fuel situation in America and abroad. A few days ago he was interviewed for the Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine. The following ig the narrative of the interviewer: HE sleeves of his shirt were rolled to his elbows, showing a square wrist watch, mortised into leather, and arms dyed to- bacco brown by the weather. (Golf.) , Francis Stuyvesant Peabody was dictat- ing letters. He tried to look over the top of his horn spectacles as he said to the interviewer: “Sit down; I'll be through in a moment.” Mr. Peabody and his partners mine 12,000,000 tons of coal yearly, which, reduced to apprehensible terms, means 9) trainloads each working day, 40 cars to the train and 50 tons to the car. Such is the Peabody business, started 30-odd years ago with a cash capital, all paid in, of $100. The chief asset, of course, was Francis S. Peabody him- self. Today Mr. Peabody, as chairman of a great national committee and in his own rights as a master of in- dustry, is the emperor of coal and his dominions cover the entire world, practically. Can Italy have coal? Or France? Or Canada? Or South America? The answer lies with the man dictating letter in his shirt sleeves, his feet poised on the edge of an open drawer in his desk. The interviewer, striving to hear naught that was said, noted the Peabody eyes, which are brown and philanthropic; the Peabody hair, which is of the same dark color: the Peabody mustache, which is a mixture of gray and yellow and shorn close to the mouth, and the Peabody chin, which seems to have been cut from a square block of granite. “This war will be won by coal and food,” Mr. Pea- body said. ‘Being a coal man, I name coal first. So would you, were you a farmer and well acquainted with the facts. ‘Heat. or fuel, internal and external, human and ma- chine, will defeat the Prussians. Wheat and beans, beef and pork are fuels. Fired with food, soldiers fight their battles.. “But coal arms them, clothes them and transports them across the Atlantic to the trenches. Cannon, rifles, machine guns, airplanes-and ammunition are the finished products, I might say, of coal. r “Coal constructs railroads and ships and operates them after they begin to do business. Go as far as you please,” Mr. Peabody said, “in amplifying my observa- ticns in respect to the importance of coal—-you can't go too far. Coal is conquering Germany and democratiz- ing Europe.” ' “Can you dig enough of it,” the interviewer inquired, “to supply the United States, under the pressure of war order?” “We have the men and the mines, although some of our men may join the army, to supply our own coal needs and to meet the deficiencies of our allies. American coal is being shipped to France and Italy, to Canada and South America and to Spain. “Last year 600,000,000 tons, anthracite and bituminous, were mined in the United States. We shal! mine 700,000,- 000 tons this year, working up to 65 per cent of our ca- pacity. A billion tons could be produced, but once out of the grounds the railroads could not haul that quantity to the seaboard, nor would there be enough ships to trans- port it across the Atlantic. “Tl am not complaining about the railroads,” Mr. Peabody went on to say. ‘They are doing a wonderful work and the fault that is found with them makes me weary.

They say to one railroad: ‘Send 1000 cars to the South for veg- etables and other perishable food.’ To another company they say: ‘Send 1500 cars.’ And the cars move, not next month, but at once. The results, as | have said, are wonderful.” “And an argument,” the interviewer asked, “in sup- port of the preachments of the Socialists?” “Not at all,’ Mr. Peabody replied, “but a demonstra- tion of what can be done when there is no antagonism between private property and the national Government. Some of the railroads in Europe are owned by the pub- lic, but there are no Daniel Willards in that part of the world! no Samuel Reas, Howard Elliotts, Fairfax Harrisons, Hale Holdens or Julius Kruttschnitts. Neither are freights as cheap as they are in the United States. “It is not the fault of the railroads,” Mr Peabody sé FRANCIS S. PEABODY. continued, “that they could not handle a billion tons of coal this year, were that quantity taken out of the ground. Enough coal will.be dug and transported, how- ever, to keep our industries going night and day, to supply the South American markets, to help out Can- ada, where many miners have gone off to the war, and to make up the shortage in France and Italy. “Canada, perhaps, will require two and a half million tons of our bituminous coal this year. Italy has asked for 300,000 tons a month. France will obtain coal in Great Britain, but not enough. South America, once sup- plied by England, now looks to us. And we can take care of all this new business, as I have said, besides meeting our own unparalleled local demands.” The matter was not spoken of by Mr. Peabody, but his offices in Washington constitute the greatest coal mer- chandising center ever known in the world. All of the mines of the nation are under his command. The own- ers, like the owners of the railways, have mobilized their property for the national welfare and are marching . under the Stars and Stripes. Why,” Mr. Peabody was asked, “has the price of bi- tuminous coal to consumers practically doubled during the past year?” “Because the large users of coal worked themselves into a panic under the manipulation of some of the coal dealers. They were afraid that their mills and facto- ries, operating 24 hours a day on profitable orders, would run out of fuel. “Consequently they bid against one another. At Al- toona, in Pennsylvania, for example, there are a large number of small mines owned by companies and individ- uals. A market for coal was held every morning. Buy- ers, representing New England manufacturers, were on the ground. “An operator, on a morning, knowing his output of the previous day, would offer one, five, eight or ten carloads of coal for sale. “‘T will give $5 a ton,’ one bidder would say. “ ‘Six dollars,’ another bidder would call out in a loud and confident voice. “Six and a half,’ still another would shout. “Seven dollars,’ the first bidder would cry, getting back into the game, and the owner of the coal, a human being like yourself, didn’t hesitate for ethical or economical reason to accept the price. “If the users of coal will get over their panic and act normally, they will obtain the coal they require, but not all at once. They can’t pile it up mountain high around their mills and factories, but there is no occasion for them to believe that they will be compelled to shut down their plants for want of fuel.” “Will the present drain on the coal deposits of the United States quicken the coming of the day when all of the coal shall have been consumed?” The_interviewer’s solemn question, inspired by the headings in newspapers and the titles in magazines, which he had been languidly noticing as far back as he could remember, was answered without a smile “In about 3208 years,” Mr. Peabody replied. ‘The stores of bituminous coal in this country,” he added, ‘will have hardly more than been scratched. But I am free to say that we have been using the resources with which the Almighty has blessed-us like drunken men. We ought to take 90 per cent of the coal out of the ground. Where- as, we mine scarcely 60 per cent—digging the nearest at hand and leaving the rest. “Then the consumer is wasting 50 per cent of the 60 per cent that is brought to the surface of the earth. It may be a surprise for you to learn that the American people are not getting or using 20 per cent of the heat units that are in the ground. “In early days the farmer with coal on his land, would often become a mine operator. He would drive a drift into the side of a hill and get the coal by wedging it down. This method would make a ‘room,’ as it was called. ' “The farmer would take out the large lumps. He never bothered himself about the smaller ones. By and by the roof would fall down and the farmer would drive another drift. This wasteful practice of mining was fol- lowed in Illinois until the year 1885. Methods have been improved since then, but the wastage is still immense. “T know of one mine that contained 4,000,000 tons of coal when it was abandoned. The earth caved in and the small cins were covered up. In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio ..o more than half the coal in the ground is taken out. The time is near at hand, I hope, when laws will make scientific mining compulsory. “A coal mining law is necessary, in my opinion. We waste cdal and human life. Three miners are killed in this country for every one killed in Europe, although there is more danger, naturally, in the mines of Europe than in those of the United States. The national law I have in mind would conserve life, the coal in the ground and the capital invested in the mining industry. “Protection of life is first on my program. The mines of Belgium are from 2500 to 3000 feet below the sur- face. The loss of life in that country, before its inva- gion by the Germans, was one man for every 1000 em- ployed. In the United States the loss is three and a third men. The recovery of coal in Belgium is 97 per cent of the entire seam. Here it is scarcely 60 per cent. “I would regulate coal mining here by some national agency, preferably, so far as I can See, by the Federal Trade Commission. The operation of the bituminous mines already producing coal should be supervised by the Government on a fair basis. Coal wastage could then be prevented, at least in the mines, life and limb pro- tected and capital assured a reasonable profit. “Let me say that the coal business is not a business for small capital. Taking the average mines of today as a standarc, the surface plant alone, fully equipped, costs approximately $300,000. Coal rights, whether they are leased or owned, necessitate a carrying charge of from $25,000 to $30,000 a year. The law that I have thought about would authorize combinations and. agreements so that coal. could be produced and sole under a uniform cost-accounting sys- tem. Production would be evenly regulated. The na- tural resources of the earth would be safeguarded against wanton waste. The men in the industry, those who work with their hands, those who manage the mines and those who supply the required capital and credit, would receive compensation measuring up to the value of their services to society.” The Peabody interests, outside of coal, include coke, irs plants, electric lighting, steam railroads and farms.. The Peabody pleasures are found in books, paintings, horses and golf. Books should be emphasized, because there are enough of them for a public library. The collection of those by and about Robert Louis Ste¥enson is one — of the Jargest in the world. Politics, also, is a Peabody pleasure. Long ago Mr. Peabody ran for Sheriff of Cook County, IIl., but the Republican candidate was elected. In 19146 he was the Western treasurer of the Democratic National Committee and the funds he managed heiped to pay the cost of the Wilson campaign. Francis Paybody (ancient spelling) was the first Pea- body to emigrate to America. He sailed from Old En- gland to New England in 1635 and established a famous family.

The night air was grateful to her hot forehead as she walked from the theater to the hotel. “Trunks in?’ to the porter. “No sign of ’em lady. They didn’t come in on the 10. Think they’d better wire back to Dayton.” But the next morning Mrs. McChesney was in the depot baggage room when Dayton wired back: “Trunks not here. Try Columbus, Nebraska.” “Crash!” said Emma McChesney to the surprised baggage master. “There goes my Haviland vegetable dish.” ‘‘Were you selling china?” he inquired. “No, I wasn’t,” replied Emma McChesney viciously. “And if you don’t let me stand here and give my frank, unbiased opinion of this road, its president, board of di- rectors, stockholders, baggage men, Pullman porters and other things thereto appertaining, I’ll probably have hysterics.” “Give it,’ said the baggage master. ‘You'll feel bet- ter. And we’re used to it.” She gave it. When she had finished: “Did you say you was selling goods on the road? Say, that’s a hell of a job for a woman! Excuse me lady. I didn’t mean’’—— “] think perhaps you're right,’ said Emma McChesney slowly. ‘It’s just that.” “Well, anyway, we'll do our best to trace it. Guess you're in for a wait.” Emma McChesney waited. She made the rounds of her customers, and waited. She wired her firm, and waited. She wrote Jock to run along and enjoy Limself, and waited. She cut and fitted a shirt waist, took her hat apart and retrimmed it, made the rounds of her impa- tient customers again, threatened to sue the road, visited the baggage room daily—and waited. Four weary, nerve-racking days passed. It was late afternoon of the fourth day when Mrs. McChesney en- tered the elevator to go to her room. She had come from another fruitless visit to the baggage room. She sank into a leather-cushioned seat in a corner of the lift. Two men entered briskly, followed by a bellboy. Mrs. Me- Chesney did not look up. ‘“‘Well, I’ll be dinged!” boomed a throaty voice. “Mrs. McChesney, by the Great Horn Spoon! H’are you? Talking about you this minute to my friend here.” Emma McChesney, with the knowledge of her lost sam- ple trunks striking ber afresb, looked up an.J smiled SUNDAY MAGAZINE: —ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- - AUGUST 12, 1917. bravely into the plump pink face of Fat Ed Meyers, trav- eling representative for her firm's bitterest rival, the Strauss Sans-silk Skirt Co. “Talking about me, Mr. Mevers? Sufficient grounds for libel, right there.” The little sallow, dark man just at Meyers’ elbow was gazing at her unguardedly. She felt that he had ap- praised her from hat to heels. Ed Meyers placed a plump hand on the little man’s shoulder. “Abe, you tell the lady what I was saying. This is Mr. Abel Fromkin, maker of the Fromkin Form-Fit Skirt. Abe, this is the wonderful Mrs. McChesney.” “Sorry | can’t wait to hear what you've said of me. This is my floor.’ Mrs. McChesney was already leaving the elevator. “Here! Wait a minute!’’ Fat Ed Meyers was out and standing beside her, his movements unbelievably nimble. “Will you have dinner with us, Mrs. McChes- ney?” “Thanks. Not tonight.” Meyers turned to the waiting elevator. ‘‘Fromkin, you go on up with the bov “"' talk to the lady a minute.’’ A little displeased frown appeared on Emma McChes- ney’s face. “You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Meyers, I’’—— “Heigh-ho for that haughty stuff, Mrs. McChesney, grinned Ed Meyers. ‘Don’t turn up your nose at that little kike friend of mine till you’ve heard what I have to say. Now just let me talk a minute. Fromkin’s heard all about vou. He's got a proposition to make. And it isn’t one to sniff at.” He lowered his voice mysteriously in the silence of the dim hotel corridor. ‘ “Fromkin started in a little one-room hole-in-the-wall over on the East Side. Lived on a herring and a hunk of rye bread. Wife used to help him sew. That was seven years ago. In three years, or less, she'll have the regula- tion uniform—full length seal coat, bunch of paradise, five-drop diamond La Valliere set in platinum, electric brougham. Abe has got a business head, take it from me. But he’s wise enough to know that business isn’t the rough-and-tumble game it used to be. He realizes that he’ll do for the workrooms, but not for the front shop. He knows that if he wants to keep on growing he’s got to have what they call a steerer. Somebody smooth and polished and politic and what the highbrows call suave. Do you pronounce that with a long a, or two dots over? Anyway, you get me. You’re al] those things and considerable few besides. He’s wise to the fact that a business man’s got to have poise these days, and balance. And when it comes to poise and bdlance, M*s McChesney, .you make a Fairbanks scale look liki a raft at sea.” “While I don't want to seem to hurry you,” -drawled Mrs. McChesney, “might I suggest that you shorten the overture and begin. on. the first act?” “Well, you know how I feel about vour business genius.”’ “Yes, I know,” enigmatically.- Ed Meyers grinned. “Can't forget those two little misunderstandings we had, can you?” “Business understandings,” corrected Emma McC hes- ney. “Call ’em anything your little heart dictates, but listen. Fromkin knows all about you. Knows you've got a mil- lion friends in the trade, that you know skirts from the belt to the hem. I don’t know just what his proposition is, but I'll bet he’ll give you half interest in the livest, come-upest little skirt factory in the country, just for a few thousand capital, maybe, and your business head at the executive end. Now just let that sink in before you speak.”’ “And why,’ inquired Emma McChesney, “don’t you grab this matchless business opportunity yourself?” “Because, fair lady, Fromkin wouldn't let me get in with a crowbar. He'll never be able to pronounce his t's right, and when he’s dressed up he looks like a bus- boy at Mougin’s, but he can see a bluff farther than I “can throw one—and that’s somewhere beyond the hori- zon, as you'll admit. Talk it over with us after dinner then ?”’ ‘ : Emma McChesney was regarding the plump, pink, eager face before her with keen, level, searching eyes. “Yes,” she said slowly, “I will.” “Cafe? We'll have a bottle’—— ”” %* “Oh! Er—parlor?” » Mrs. McChesney smiled. “I won't ask you to make yourself that miserable. You can't smoke in the parlor. We'll find a quiet vorner in the writing room, where you men can litht up. 1 don’t want to take advantage of you.” Down i2 the writing room at 8 they formed a strange little grous Ed Meyers, flushed and eager, his pink face glowing ike a peony, talking arguing, smoking, reason- ing, coaxing, with the spur of a fat commission to urge him on; Abel Fromkin, with his peculiarly pallid skia made paler in contrast to the purplish-black line where the razor had passed, showing no hint of excitement except in the restless little black eyes and in the work- scarred hands that rolled cigarette after cigarette, each glowing for one brief instant, only to die down to a blackened ash the next; Emma McChesney, half fascinat- ed, half distrustful, listening in spite of herself, and trying to still a small inner voice—a voice that had never advised her ill. “You know the ups and downs to this game,” Ed Meyers was saying. “When I met you there in the ele- vator you looked like you'd lost your last customer. Yow get pretty disgusted with it all, at times, like the rest of us.” “At that minute,” replied Emma McChesney, “I was 80 disgusted that if someone had called me up on the phone and said, ‘Hullo, Mrs. McChesney! Will you marry me?’ I’d_hbave said: ‘Yes. Who is this?’ ” “There! That's just it. I don’t want to be impolite, or anything like that, Mrs. McChesney, but you're no kid. Not that you look your age—not by 10 years! But. | happen to know you're teetering somewhere betwees 36 and the next stop. Ain't that right?” “Is that a argument to put to a lady?” remonstrated Abel Fromkin. Fat Ed Meyers waved the interruption away with a gesture of his strangely slim hands. “This ain't an argument. It’s facts. Another 10 years on the road.and where’ll you be? In the discard. A man of 46 can keep step with the youngsters, even if it does make him puff a bit. But a woman of 46-—-the road isn't the place for her. She's tired. Tired in the morning; tired at night. She wants her kimono and her afternoon snooze. You've seen some of those old girls on the road” They’ve come down step by step unti] yon spot ‘em, bleached hair,‘crow’s feet around the eyes, mussy shirtwaist, yellow and red complexion, demonstrating green and lavender gelatine messes in the grocery of some department store. I don’t say that a brainy corker of a saleswoman like you would come down like that. But you've got to consider sickness and a lot of other things. Those six weeks last summer with the fever at Glen Rock put a crimp in you, didn’t it? You've never been yourself since then. Haven't bad a decent chance to rest up.” “No,” said Emma McChesney wearily. “Furthermore, now that old T. A.’s cashed in, how do you know what young Buck’s going to do? He don’t know shucks about the skirt business. They've got to take in a third party to keep it a close corporation. It was all between old Buck, Buck Junior and old lady Buck. How can vou tell whether the new member will want a woman on the road or not?’ A little steely light hardened the blue of Mrs. MceChes- ney’s eyes. “We'll leave the firm of T. A. Buck out of this discus- sion, please.” “Oh, very well!” Ed Meyers was unabashed. “Let's talk about Fromkin. He don’t object, do you, Abe? It's just like this. He needs your smart bead. You need his money. It'll mean a sure thing for you—a share in a growing and substantial business. When you get your road men trained it'll mean that you won't need to go out on the road yourself, except for a little missionary trip now and then, maybe. No more infernal early trains, no more bum hotel grub, no more stuffy, hot hotel rooms, no more haughty lady buyers—gosh, I wish I had the chance!” Emma McChesney sat very still. Two scarlet spots glowed in her cheeks. “No one appreciates your gift of orator more than J do, Mr. Meyers. Your flow of lan- guage, coupled with your peculiar persuasive powers, make a combination a statue couldn't resist. But I think it would sort of rest me if Mr. Fromkin were to say a word, seeing that it’s really his funeral.” Abel Fromkin started nervously, and put his dead cig- arette to his lips. ‘I ain’t much of a talker,” he said, al- most sheepishly. ‘Meyers, he’s got it down fine. I! tell you what. I'll be in New York the twenty-first. We can go over the books and papers and the whole business. And 1 should like you should know my wife. And I got a little girl Would you believe it, that child ain’t more as a year old, and says papa and mamma like a actress!”’ “Sure,” put in Ed Meyers, disregarding the more in- timate family details. “‘You two get together and fix things up in shape; then you can sign up and have it off your mind so you can enjoy the festive Christmas season.” Emma McChesney had been gazimg out of the window to where the street lamps were reflected in the ice-cov- ered pavements. Now she spoke, still staring out upon the wintry street. ; “Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling. And I haven't got it.” | “Oh, come now, Mrs. McChesney!” objected Ed Meyers. With a sudden, quick movement Emma McChesney turned from the window to the little dark man wh? was watching her so intently. She faced him squarely, as though utterly disregarding Ed Meyers’ flattery and banter and cajolery. The little man before her seeiwwed to recognize the earnestness of the moment. He leaned forward a bit attentively. ? “If what has been said is true,” she began, “this ough/. to be a good thing for me. If I go into it, I'll go in heart, soul, brain and pocketbook. I do know the sk'rt business from thread to tape and back again. I’ve man- aged to save a few thousand dollars. Only a woman could understand how I’ve done it. I've scrimped on ‘little things. I've denied myself necessities. I’ve worn silk blouses instead of linen ones to save laundry bills and taken a street car or bus to save a quarter or 50 cents. I've always tried to look well dressed and immdcu- late” —— | . “You!” exclaimed Ed Meyers. “Why, say, you're what ~ Leer dresser. Nothing flashy, understand, or (Continued on Page 10.)

It must have been gratifying to Mra. Moyer-Wing to encounter the little woman of whom she tells in the following lines.

I thought at intervals all] that forenoon of this remarkable little woman of the hills, with her unexpected and advanced ideas and remarked to La Belle that if we didn’t find another single thing of interest our day had al- ready been a profitable one. I ate a few scattering blackber- ries for lunch and La Belle nibbled the grass that grew with them by the roadside, and | was still so en- grossed in thought as we continued our way that not until La Belle stopped to eat the white vard clover ihat had grown out into the road did I notice that we had come upon an old, abandoned homestead. The ancient split-rail fence was down to the ground and the was La Belle who finally broke the silence. She stopped short in the road, lifted her head a little higher and sniffed in the way she does it when the intruder is hu- man. It’s different when the intruder is an animal. A bend in the road brought us upon a plump, pretty girl, with a wide smile and a lot of fluffy brown hair. “We heerd over the phone,” she began, “that you was comin’ this way, and Aunt Mollie, she sent me down to _ the road to ax you to come up to the house and stay — all night. She wants fer to ax you some questions about this here woman suffrage. So does UnGle Si. But be- fore we go, I got a few of my own toe ax. First one is, have you ever been to any of the states where women votes?” I said I bad. “Is any of them women married?” “Most all of them,” I told her. ; “Ain’t it so, then, that men won't marry women that votes?” I said that was one of the most absurd things the | anti-suffragists had ever imagined. I assured her that there were fewer unmarried women, according to pop- ulation, in the Western states, where women have full suffrage, than in the East, where they do not vote at all. And then I told her about her very remarkable little neighbor a number of miles back and the observations L% she had made for herself when out West. e “Well,” she continued,-still half doubtingly. “Uncle Si, he heerd that they wasn’t any women married in them — states and that the people all lived in wigwams because fields were overgrown with sprouts of the native trees that the settler had never been able to subdue. Wild flow- ers and shrubs grew abundantly in the dooryard. Nothing was left of the house place, except the old stone chimney through the godliness of their husbands. Ain’t that plumb laughable?

And the women’s opin- ions are respected out there more because they have something to say in the government. And that is what I want to see everywhere—women’s opinions respected in the government. We sure do carry our share of its burdens. And as I was sayin’, votin’ is the next step for women to take and maybe, some day, there'll seme a time when we can think our own thoughts and work out our own ideals the same as men and—and”—— I urged her to continue. “Well, you see, it’s this way. The day I left school I was married. I didn’t stop to think just what it would meaft, which is the way of young folks.

(penurju07)) Aausey) OW PUI JO A10}S YL a the aa of Emma McChesney EDNA rene ER we | Chapter Seven That Christmas Feeling J 5. Gtlsintsiivn s a om ao irae, suas then length. Just a scrawled page. Emma cous - voiced, red - faced, greasy, he stands outside his gaudy tent, dilating on the wonders. within. One or two, perhaps, straggle in. But the crowd, made wary by bitter experience of the sham and cheap fraud behind the tawdry can ‘as flap, stops a moment, laughs and passes on. Then Temptation, in a panic, seeing his audi- ence drifting away, summons from in- side the tent his bespangled and be- witching partner, Mile. Psychological Moment, the Hypnotic Charmer. She leaps to the platform, bows, pirouettes. The crowd surges toward the ticket win- dow, nickel in hand. Six months of bad luck had dogged the footsteps of Mrs. Emma McChesney, traveling saleswoman for the T. A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Co. of New York. li had started with a six weeks’ illness endured in the discomfort of a stuffy little hotel bedroom at Glen Rock, Minn. By August she was back in New York, attending to out-of-town buyers. Those friendly Middle Western per- sons showed dismay at her pale, hollow- eyed appearance. They spoke to her of teaspoonfuls of olive oil taken thrice a day, of mountain air, of cold baths, and, above all, of the advisability of leaving the road and taking an inside position. At that’ Emma McChesney always snowed signe of unmistakable irritation. In September her son, Jock McChes- ney, just turned 18, went blithely off to college, disguised as a millionaire’s son in a blue Norfolk, silk hose, flat-heeled shoes, correctly mounted walrus bag and next week's style in fall hats. As the train glided out of the great shed Emma McChesney had waved her handkerchief, emiling like fury and seeing nothing but an indistinct blur as the observation platform slipped around the curve. She had not felt that same clutching. deso- late sense of loss since the time, 13 years before, when she had cut off his curls and watched him march sturdily off to kin- dergarten. in October it was plain that spring skirts, instead of~ being full as predicted, were as scant and plaitless as ever. That spelled gloom for the petticoat -siness. It was necessary to sell three of the present absurd style to make the profit that had come frim the sale of one skirt five years before The last week in- November, tragedy stalked upon the scene in the death at Marienbad of old T. A. Buck, Mrs. McChesney’s stanch friend and beloved employer. Emma McChesney had wept for him as one weeps at the loss of a father. They had understood each other, those two, from the time that Emma McChesney, divorced penniless, refus- ing support from the man she had married eight years before, had found work in the office of the T. A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Co. Old Buck had watched her rise from stenographer to head stenographer, from head stenugrapher to ingjde saleswoman, from that to a minor road territory, and tinally to the position of traveling representative through the coveted Middle Western territory Oid T. A. Buck, gruff, grim, direct, far-seeing, kindly, shrewd—he had known Emma McChesney for what she was worth. Once, when she had been disclosing to him a clever business scheme which might be turned into good advertising material, old Buck had slapped his knee with one broad, thick palm and had said: “Emma McChesney, you ought to have been a man. With that head on a man's shoulders you could put us out of business.” “1 could yes it anyway,” ’ Mrs. McChesney had retorted Old Buck had regarded her a moment over his tor. toise-shell rimmed glasses. Then, “I believe you could,” he had said, quietly and thoughtfully. That brings her up to December. To some few millions of people D-e-c-e-m-b-e-r spells Christmas But to Emma McChesney it spelled the dreaded spring trip. It spelled trains stalled in snowdrifts, baggage delayed, cold hotel It was just 6 o'clock on the evening of Dec. 9 when. y swung off the train at Colum- As she walked down the brvad unconsciously seafched the loaded She'd have recognized them steamer—those grim, travel-scarred Rae one from—why, from Jock! “Dearest blonde,” nerve of the young imp!) he began. (“The cember is a slack month for actors and traveling men. Mrs. McChesney registered automatically, received her mail, exchanged greetings with the affable clerk. “Send my trunks up to my sample rooms as s00n as they get in. Three of ‘em-—two sample trunks and my personal trunk. And | want to see a porter about putting up some extra tables. You see, I’m two days late now. I expect two buyers tomorrow morning.” “Send ‘em right up, Mrs. McChesney,” the clerk assured her. “Jo’ll attend to those tables. Too bad about old Buck. How's the skirt business?” ; “Skirts? There is no such thing,” corrected Emma McChesney gently. “Sausage casing business, you mean.” “Guess you're right, at that. handsome youngster of yours? you this trip?” There came a wonderful glow into Emma McChesney’s tired face. “Jock’s at college. Coming home for the holidays. We're going to have a dizzy week in New York. I’m wild to see if those three months of college have done any- thing to him, bless his heart! Oh, kind sir, forgive a mother’s fond ravings! . Where'd that youngster go with my bag?” Up at last in the stuffy, unfriendly, steam-smelling bed- room, Emma McCuesney prepared to make herself com- fortable. A cocky bellboy switched on the lights, adjust- ed a shade, straightened a curtain. Mrs. McChesney reached for her pocketbook. “Just open that window, will you?’ By the way, how’s that He’s not traveling with “Pretty cold,”’ remonstrated the bellboy. “Beginning to snow, too. - “Can't help it. I'll shut it in a minute. The last man that had this room left a dead cigar around some- where. Send up a waiter, please. I’m going to treat myself to dinner in my room.” The boy gone, she unfastened her collar, loosened a shoe that had pressed a bit too tightly over the instep, took a kimono and toilet articles out of her bag. “I'll run through my mail,’ she told herself. “Then I'll get into something loose, see to my trunks, have dinner and turn in early. Wish Jock was here. We'd have a steak and some French fried and a salad, and I'd let the kid make the dressing, even if he does always get in too much vinegar’’——— She was glancing through her mail. Two from the firm—one from Mary Cutting—one from the Sure-White Laundry at Dayton (hope they found that corset cover)— From Jock! And he'd writ- ten only two days before. Well! Sitting there on the edge of the bed she regarded the dear scrawl lovingly, savoring it, as is the way of a woman. Then she took = hairpin from the knot of bright dark hair (also as is the way of woman) and slit the envelope McChesney’s eye plunged into it hungrily, a smile of anticipation dimpling her lips, lighting up her face. “Dearest Blonde,” it began. -(“The nerve of the young imp!”’) He hoped 'the letter would reach her in time. Knew how this weather mussed up her schedule. He wanted her honest opinion about something—straight, now! One of the frat fellows was giving a Christmas house party. Awful swells, by the way. He was lucky even to be asked. He’d never remembered a real Christmas —in a home, you know, with a tree and skating, and regular high jinks, and a dinner that left you feeling like a stuffed gooseberry. Old Wells says his grand- mother wears lace caps with lavender rib- bons. Can you beat it! Of course, he felt like a hog, even thinking of wanting to stay away from her on Christmas. Still, Christmas in a New York hotel!'—— But the fellows had nagged him to write. Said they'd do it if he didn’t. Of course. he hated to think of her spending Christmas alone—felt like a bloody villain—— Little by little the smite that had wreathed her lips faded and was gone. The lips still were parted, but by one of those miracles with which the face ex- presses what is within the heart their ex- pression had ‘changed from pleasure to bitter pain. She sat there, at the edge of the bed, staring dully until the black scrawls danced on the white page. With the let- ter before her she raised her hand. slow- ly and wiped away a hot, blinding mist of tears with her open palm. Then she read it again; dully, as though every selfish word of it had not already stamped itself on her brain and heart. After the second reading she still sat there, her eyes staring down at her lap. Once she brushed “an imaginary fleck of lint from the lap of her biue serge skirt— brushed and brushed and brushed, with a mechanical, pathetic.little gesture that showed how completely absent her mind was from the room in which she sat. Then her hand fell idle and she became very still, a crumpled, tragic, hopeless look rounding the shoulders that were wont to hold themselves so erect and confident, A tentative knock at the door. The figure on the bed did not stir. Another knock, louder this time. Emma McChesney sat up with a start. She shivered as she became conscious of the icy December air pouring into the little room. She rose, walked to the window, closed it with a bang and opcned the Goer. in time to intercept the third knock. A waiter proffered her a long card. “Dinner, Madame?” “Oh!” She shook her head. “Sorry. I've changed my mind. I—I shan’t want any dinner.” She shut the door again and stood with her back against it, eyeing the bed. In her mind’s eye she had already thrown herself upon it, buried her face in the nest of pillows, and given vent to the flood of tears that was beating at her throat. She took a quick step toward the bed, stopped, turned abruptly and walked toward the mirror. “Emma McChesney,” she said aloud to the woman in the glass, “buck up, old girl! Bad luck comes in bunches of threes. It’s like breaking the first cup in a new Haviland set. You can always count on smashing two more. This is your third. So pick up the pieces and throw ‘em in the ash can.” T) ‘a fastened ‘her collar, buttoned her shoe, pulled dev - Shirtwaist all around, smeared her face with colu ma, wiped it with a towel, smoothed her hair, donned her hat. The next instant the littl room was dark and Emma McChesney was marching down the lcng, red-carpeted hallway to the elevator, her head high, her face set. Downstairs in the lobby: she inquired of a porter. That blue-shirted individual rubbed a hard brown “How about my trunks?” haad oyer his cheek worriedly. “They ain't come.”’ “Ain't come!"’—surprise dtareganded grammar. “Nope. No signs of ‘em. I'll tell you what—I think prob’ly they was overlooked in the rush, the train being late from Dayton when you started. Likely they'll be in on the 10:13.. I'll send ‘em up the minute they get in.” “I wish you would. I’ve got to get my stuff out early. I can’t keep customers waiting for me. Late, as it is.” She ‘approached the clerk once more. “Anything at the theaters?” “Well, nothing much, Mrs. McChesney. Christmas com- ing on kind of puts a crimp in the show business. Nice tittle bill on at the Majestic if you like vaudeville.” “Crazy about it. Always get so excited watching to see if the next act is going to be as rotten as the last one. It always is.” ; From 8:15 until 10:30 Mrs. McChesney sat absolutely expressioniess while a shrill blonde lady and a nasal gentleman went through what the program iron- ically called a “comedy sketch,” followed by a chummy with a quick, sure rip.

Pre, on Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. This park straddles the Continental Divide at a point of supreme magnifi- cence. Its eastern gateway is beautiful Estes Park, valley village of many hotels from which access up to the most noble heights and into the most picturesque recesses of the Rockies is easy and com- fortable. Rocky Mountain National Park is splendidly representative of the whole Rocky Mountain region. There is no mountain group that excels the company of snow-capped veterans of all the ages which stands at everlasting parade behind its grim, helmeted ca tain, Longs Peak. j Rocky Mountain National Park with- in a couple of seasons has come to be very popular with tourists and is this year acting as host for thousands of sightseers. It is seventy miles north- west of Denver, which is reached from St. Louis via the Missouri Pacific’s fa- mous through train, the Scenic Limited. A reprint of a booklet on this park, prepared by the Department of the In- terior, United States Government, can be obtained at Missouri Pacific Ticket Office, 318 North Broadway, St. Louis.
