The British now hold Ger- man trenches immediately northwest of the bitterly disputed Green Gras- sier. The official statement issued last night said: : “Heavy local fighting has taken Place all day for the possession of an important enemy stronghold im- Mediately south of Lens, known as the Green Grassier. Our trvops gained a foviing on the Spoil heap early this morning and have sincs beaten. off several counter-attacks, in which the enemy suffered heavy losses both from our artillery and in hand-to-hand fighting.

None the less, a great number’ of » fights took place, in which our ma- chines were favored by a change of wind.

SLAIN CAPTAIN WAS EAGER TO SEE SERVICE IN FRANCE Capt. Joseph Mattes Was Known for His Good Humor and | Devotion to. Flag. CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—Comrades of Capt. Joseph Mattes, murdered in the Houston riot, who are still in camp here, feel that there was something peculiarly unfair in the manner of his death. Mattes was noted for his good humor and for his devotion to the flag. He always wanted to see real service. In 1898, that he might be sure of being enlisted, he paid a man a dol- lar for his place in line, and was accepted in the First Illinois Cav- alry. The regiment did not get to Cuba. Through monotonous years he repeated his enlistnfent. Last year he saw service of a sort on the Mexican border, at Brownsville, Tex. This year he was eager to get to the trenches in France. He was unmar- ried. WOODEN LEG NOT PART OF THE MAN, DRAFT BOARD RULES Registrant in* Madison County Weighed Without It and as a Result Is Marked Exempt.

Quinn, 68 years old, for- merly a rug buyer for the Famous & Barr Co., who disappeared last September and who was supposed to have been drowned in the Wis- consin River, returned to St. Louis Monday and appeared, following a telephone message of notification, at the home of his wife and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Ray F. McNally, 4437 Mc- Pherson avenue. Mrs. McNally is the wife of a vice president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. ' He told them a remarkable story of a sudden lapse of memory, which came while he was fishing near Kil- bourn, Wis., and said that in the in- tervéning time, nearly 11 months, he remembered nothing definitely. Last Saturday, on a Chicago street which had previous!y been familiar to him, he recovered a realization of his sur- roundings.

He went Tuesday night to Little Rock, Ark., where he is now at the home of his sister, Miss Lizzie Quinn, and is in a physician’s care. A Little Rock dispatch to the Post- Dispatch today told of the return of Quinn and ‘the story which this dic- patch told was verified, in most of its details by his wife here. The dispatch said that Quinn’s life insurance, to the amount of $15,000, in three companies, was paid after his disappearance, and that McNally, his son-in-law, had returned this money to the companies. Mrs. Quinn said the nioney had not actually bec paid, but that arrangements had been made to pay it to the family, and that McNally had notified the companies of the missing man’s re- : Soe ges oe taheampiggg gee “ lease of the insurance money, to the companies, ‘vould be completed after McNally returns from a vacation trip to Michigan, where he went at the same time that Quinn went to Arkansas.

Found Former Home Closed. “He found the house closed and grass growing in the yard,” said Mrs. Quinn today, in describing her hus- band’s return. “He began to won- der what had happened to me. Then he went to a store and looked for Mr. McNally’s name in the telephone book. He called up the house and told my daughter that he was back, and soon afterward he was at the house. “His memory was perefctly clear as to all that occurred before he went to Kilbourn, and as to what had occurred since he came to him- self in Chicago. For the time that he has been missing, he remembers nothing, and we have not tried to recall it to him. We are happy to have him back, and we wish him to get a complete rest.” Quinn was connected with the Fa- mous & Barr Co. 12 years, resigning jhis place there in February, 1916. He formerly lixed in Little Rock, where he owned a large dry goods store. Tells of Expcrience. At Little Rock, the dispatch said, Quinn told of his experience up to the time of his lapse »f memory. He said he had been spending the summer on a small Jake in Wiscon- sin, and went to Kilbourn to take a train for home, but decided to stop and try the fishing there for a day. He started down the Wisconsin River in a boat and, becoming ill, rowed tv shore. He fell into .shallow water near the bank and lay there for a time, then recovered consciousness. His boat had floated away, he said, and he tried to walk through the woods. He said he remembered’ nothing definitely after that. He be- lieves he was ill somewhere, and wa3 nursed with great kindness. Quinn said he had about $85 and a ring which he valued at $300 when he left Kilbourn. He thinks he must have sold the ring.

QUESTION OF RESTORATION Pontiff Said to Favor Indemnity for Purpose in Belgium and North France. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Presi- dent Wilson may decide to address Congress on peace at the same time he makes reply to Pope Benedict’s proposals. In that way he would take the national legislative body into his confidence and also enable members of Congress to carry the Government’s views home to the people when Congress adjourns. It is understood that the Presi- dent will have before him soon the substance of replies Great Britain and France will make to the Pope. From Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese mission, the President will get an intimate understanding of Japan’s purposes and, also ta is un- derstood, a very close assessment of the situation in Russia. No one has been authorized to say what reply President Wilson will make to the Pope’s proposal, fur- ther than that it will be in harmony with the responses of the other al- lies. It seems to be generally accept- ed in official and diplomatic circles that-the Pope’s proposal cannot be accepted. Indeed, there have been indications from the Vatican that Pope Benedict did not expect it would be, but addressed the belliger- ents with the purpose of building the groundwork for later discussion. The unofficial forecast of what the President will say, if he speaks is that Pope Benedict’s proposal con- tains nothing on which to proceed and that a discussion of peace terms can best be approached by Germany stating hers as the allies have done. Pope Said to Favor Indemnity to Restore Belgium and North France. By Associated Press. — _JONDON, Aug, 24.—Telegrame re- celved here from Rome. say that prominent persons at the Vatican, interpreting the: papal peace note, assert that Pope Benedict believes an indemnity i necessary for the restoration of Belgium and Northern France and also that the Pope takes the view that restoration of Servia is essential, but did not mention it in his note, as he believed the whole Balkan question could be dealt with more effectively by negotiation as a separate problem. From the same source it is said that issuance of the peace note was preceded by unofficial conversations with prominent Germans in an en- deavor to obtain Germany's ‘‘consent to provisions for restoration f in- vaded territories.” Papal Secretary Quoted as Saying Portion of Pope’s Appeal Is Based on President’s Message. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—A dis- patch from Rome today purporting to give an amplification by the papal secretary of state of Pope Benedict's peace proposal was read with a great deal of interest by administration officials. ° The copyrighted dispatch, as pub- lished by the United Press, said the papal secretary of state had author- ized a statement to the effect that the first two points in the Pope's appeal, dealing with disarmament and freedom of the seas, were sug- gested by President Wilson’s mes- sage to the Senate and it was be- lieved they would find the same re- ception fro mthe people as was givea to the President’s speech. The proposal for the mutual con- donation of war expenses and dam- ages and mutual restitution of occtu- pied territories were said to have een formulated from recent speech- es of statesmen of the belligernt nations and from rsolutions passed by their respective Parliaments. The statement also deciarcs thero is an exception applying particula:: ly to Belgium as to condonation of damages caused by the war. The Pope is said to desire that specia! territorial quesiions shali be exam- ined in a conciliatory spirit, with just aspirations of the people taken into consideration, so far - possi- ble. The Holy See also wishes to em- phasize the fact, it is stated, that the proposal was not inspired for the particular advantage of any war ring nation and was not suggested by any of the belligerents. It is declared that the Holy Fa- ther said nothing about democracy and the democratization of any ex- isting Government because “history teaches us that a form of govern- ment imposed by arms does not and cannot live and also out of respect for the free will of the peonle them- selves who, having the right of un:- versal suffrage. may choose what- ever form of government they Free Band Concerts Tonight.

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH AKMY, Thursday Morning, Aug. 23.—-Major-General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American forces, had a splendid view of the first day’s operations in the battle of Verdun from a posttion near Le Mort Homme. There was an interesting meeting there between the American com- mander and the French General, Corvisart, who was a fellow military uttache of Gen. Pershing during the Manchurian War. The coincidence was still further accentuated by the fact that the German commander facing this part of the line was Gen. Hetzel, who also was a military at- tache and knew Gen. Pershing dur- ing the Russo-Japanese War. Gen. Pershing was able to witness troops which conquered Dead Man‘s Hill, Goose Hill and the adjacert woods and captured about 4000 pris- oners, besides taking a number of big guns and destroying many oth- ers.

About 9 o’clock last night about 8¢ negroes, later joined by others, formed at their camp and began a mgrgh, toward downtown Houston. Lighte-in residences along the way were shot out and a number of per- sons wounded as they sat inside their . The first shooting, however, is eaid to have been done within the camp. Officers Quiet White Mob. Crowds of Houston men, with un- armed Texas guardsmen here, start- ed for the camp, but stopped wher an'‘army officer mounted an auto- mébile and addressed them. Capt. Snow declared he had at- tempted to control the men when he saw what was about to happen. But they’ were beyond control and some 160 of them started to shoot pro- miscuously in the camp and soon scattered in every direction An'attempt was made to mob Capt.

A little. later that the negroes had entered the ammunition stores and armed them- selves. Commanding officers rushed to the scene and made an effort to stop the riot. The police officers who were killed were among the first to reach the rieting negroes. One, Rufe Daniels. helped yesterday afternoon to make the arrests which led directly to the riot... . At the police station probably a thousand men, many of them armed, gathered, and there was a seething mass which circulated wild rumors and, offered their services to the Chief of Police and his Lieutenants. This. crowd stayed around most of the evening, though there was a gradual thinning out, and at mid- night there were only a score. The police did what they could, but they were overwhelmed. Those who saw the force of ne- groes as they went through the West End district estimated that at least 150 negroes were in the crowd. They were not marching in order but were keeping close to the fences. They were shouting defiance and talking loudly. Earl Finley, with Fred Schofield, was drarged from an automobile. ki¢ked. to the ground and thrown into a ditch. When the firing ceased, Finley was found dead, his body plerced by more than a dozen bullets, while Schofield was wounded in both arms. He is in a hospital in a seri- ous condition. The dead: Ira D.

Joseph W. Mattes, Second Illinois Field Artillery, was accompanied by extreme cruelty on the part of his slayers, according to early reports. Wounded by a rifle bullet, Capt. Mattes was surrounded by the mutin- ous soldiers, riddled with buckshot and his body hacked and stabbed in many places with bayonets. Shots, fired evidently at close range, tore great sections of his skull to bits and the body when discov- ered, was almost unrecognizable. Rescuer Shot Three Times. W. A. Wise, while trying to save a wounded man, was shot three times in the left arm and once in the back. Telling of the shooting, Wise said: ‘“T heard shooting and at Brunner avenue a man whose name I never learned, fell, apparently dving, in the street. I called on an automo- bile driver and others for help. While we were trying to olace the dying man in the car bullets spat- tered all about us. and the men who were helping me fled. I could do nething more and soon became weak from loss of blood.” “We have been laying here like dogs—not knowing what to ao,” said Ed Fuchs, brother of Alma Reichert, a 15-year-old girl. who was among the first shot. For al- most two hours after the girl had been shot, Fuehs, his wife anc chil- dren had huddled in the corner of the store. “The store was closed,” Fuchs said, ‘when the negro soldiers passed and we were frightened when the shooting began. Alma had run in from the sidewalk. She was shot in the stomach and the bullet came through a double wall.’’ One of Brutal Incidents. At the home of Mrs. Mary Wink- ler, 4910 Lillian street, was enacted one of the most brutal incidents of the night. When the mutinous sol- diers passed, a son, Fred Winkler, 20 years old, and William J. Drucks, stepped to the front porch to see what provoked the loud talking. Fred Winkler flashed on the porch light and William Drucks got as far as the steps when a bullet penetrat- ed to the heart of Winkler and the right arm of Drucks was shattered at the wrist and above the elbow. For hours the Winkler family re- mained in darkness, while Drucks lay upon the bed bleeding and the body of voung Winkler remained on the porch. Officers Daniels and Rainey were killed and Moody, Wilson and Pat- ton were wounded a considerable time after the outbreak started. Patton and Long were mounted and Moody, Carson, Carter, the driv- er and I were in an automobile slightly behind them,” said Desk Ser- geant Wilson. ‘At the corner of San | Felipe and Wilson, we suddenly met them—there must have been at least 50 of them. They opened fire with- cut warning and Patton was shot through the arm and Long’s horse was killed. The officers threw them- selves to the ground and opened fire. Then thé negroes dodged around the corner and when Rufe Daniels went around the corner they opened fire on him. Police and Negroes Fight. “He killed one negro, but they shot him several times as he lay on the ground. He took to cover and re- turned the fire. Moody’s leg was broken. Patton was shot through the leg and I got a olignt wound in the leg.’’ Was Target for Negro Riotcrs. C. -W. Hahl was shot at repeated- ly as he lay prone with a wounded policeman at his side. The officer was shot a second time, but Hahl was only “burned” by a bullec across his back. He told this story “IT saw one policeman drop and a mounted. officer’s horse fall. Be- ing unarmed, I got behind t-‘e ca” and then dodged to the shadow of a building on the corner. There was a policeman already there, shot in his gun arm and disabled. “The negroes shot down every White man in sight ‘Then they came on up the street toward us. They were walking and shooting coolly and with deliberation, halt- ing to take aim. “We flattened ourselves on the ground next to the building in the Shadow. When they spied us they halted. I heard the bolts of their rifles click back and decided that we were both dead men. “They must have fired 100 shots at us. One bullet just grazed my back, burning me painfully. They went on, leaving us for dead. Army Officer Shot Down. “When they had gone on we found a stalled car on the sidewalk. In it were two dead men, an army officer and a policeman.” J. Addington of Batson, an oil worker, an eyewitness to the shoot- ing and bayonetting of white men in the negro districts, said: “I saw two mounted policemen ride up, not aware of any danger. I tried to signal them. The soldiers fired a volley, dropping both officers. Some of the soldiers then came up to the bodies of the two officers and said: “*There is the white trash we got.’ “They came up to me and thought I was dead. One of them stepped on my back, then they started in the direction of town. They had only gone a short distance when an auto- mobile containing an army officer came in sight. The car was going fast. I heard some of the negroes say: ‘Here come some more police, let’s get 'em,’ and the two men in the automobile were killed. Some of the soldiers walked up to the bod- les, kicked them and stuck their bay- onets into. them several times. All the négroes seemed to have their bayonets fixed. Then I saw them shoot two citizens. They then moved off in another direction. “While all this shooting was go- ing on I saw some of the negroes who live around there come out of their homes. Some were armed. Some of them clapped their hands and praised the soldiers. Then the white soldiers came in sight and the negroes ran for cover, wherever they could find it.”’ G. W.

Sam Salensky, hurt in automobile accident going to camp. Alma Reichert, white girl, shot in stomach. George Beavens, wounded in leg. White Guardsmen Unarmed. The Texas National Guardsmen here awaiting entraining orders to go to Camp Bowie were without arms and their officers quickly mo- bilized their men at armories and held them under restraint, in one case behind locked iron gates, Troops in the city at the time the rioting started, aside from the bat- talion of negro soldiers of the Twen ty-fourth Infantry, were thé follow ing I)jinois units: H Company, Second Infantry, Chi- cago, 134 men, three officers.

RIOTERS TAKEN FROM TEXAS Secretary Informs Senator That Black Soldiers in Mutiny Will Be Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Senat ur Sheppard of Texas, after a confer- ence with Secretary Baker, today announced that the negro troops concerned in the rioting at Houston would be withdrawn from Texas im- mediately. Later Secretary Baker, after read- ing first official reports, announced that he could take no action of any kind until the affair had been in- vestigated fully. Secretary Baker also said that the Ifouston affair did not affect the pol- icy of training negro troops in the South. It is within the jurisdiction of the commander of the Southern Depart- ment to move the troops to any other point in his territory without orders from Washington. Renorts from Major-General Park- er, commanding the Southern Di- vision, said the situation was under control, and that no further rioting was feared. Senator Sheppard said he would ask that no negro troops, except those of Texas origin, be sent into Texas for training. The affair is regarded as most se- rious, particularly in view of the fact that the negro troops concerned are regulars and not national guardsmen, or drafted troops, new to regular army discipline. The similarity of the occurrence to the celeorated Brownsville riot- ing, as the :esult of which President Roosevelt summarily dismissed two battalions of negro troops, igs marked, and officials indicate that the affair will be investigated just as thorougaly and dealt with as vig- orously as its nature demands. They realize that it accentuates the delicate question of mobilizing negro troops in the South, against which protasts have -been coming from the states and which has con- fronted the War Department with an embarrassing situation. FRENCH ADVANCE TO DEPTH OF MILE AND A QUARTER AT VERDUN Continued From Page One. ber of machine gun emplacements on the elevation has made it a »a"ticu- larly difficult position for attack. Attack Made With Bombs. The Canadians made their assault before dawn yesterday,, dispatches from the front say, and the attack was preceded by a protracted and exceedingly intense bombardment of the German positions. The Germans, exhausted by the long strain of con- stant counter attacks that tney have} been delivering, found the Canadians in their midst with little warning. But the defenders did not give up without a struggle, and there was considerable bayonet fighting. An advance upon two German col- liery positions adjoining the grassier to the northwest earlier in the night also involved stiff hand-to-hand fighting. About the grassier are nu- merous” shell-shuttered buildings, many of which huve been strongly fortified by the Germans. The Ca- nadians bombed their way systemati- cally through these defences, silenc- ing the machine guns and clearing out the defenders. There seems to be no diminution in the strength of the Canadian attacks, notwithstanding the tremendous la- bor they have performed in the last few days. They have worked steadily and methodically, gradually weaving a net about the Germans, who live miserably in their underground post-+ tions within the city, which is rapid- ly approaching the point where it will furnish most inhospitable quar- ters for the enemy. Air Raid in Belgium. oo’ LONDON, Aug. 24.—Bombing at- tacks were carried out early yester- day morning by the royal naval air service on the following military ob- jectives in Belgium: Middelkerke dump, Raversyde dump and Hout- tave aerodrome. Italian Official. ROME, Aug. 24.—The War Office reports that the battle on the Isonzo front continues and that about 60 guns have been captured. Gen. Cadorna announces that the Italians yesterday stormed new Aus- trian positions, broke up violent counter-attacks made by the enemy and took a large number of Aus.ro- Hungarian prisoners. More than 20,000 prisoncrs, the War Office statement says, have been removed from the Austro-Itilian front by the Italians. Russian Official. PETROGRAD, Aug. 24. — The Russian official statement issued to- day makes no mention of fighting in the Riga region, saying that on the Russian front there were only fusi- lades and scouting operations. On the Rumanian front, the Austro. Germans last night attacked the Russian-Rumanian positions near the village of Krendsheni and after occupying part of the trenches of the defenders were ejected by a counter attack. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 24.— Yesterday's official statement spoke of operations in the Riga district as follows “Army group of Prince Leopold of Bavaria: The Russians, after de- stroying villages by fire - have evac- uated their positions to the west of the River Aa to the line of Oding- Bigaun.

The St. Louis District Appeal Board today took up 50 exemption appeals, but found. that in only eight of thes ecases had the 10-day time limit for the filing of affi- davits expired. It dealt with these cases, granting one exemption and three postponements and overruling four appeals. Former Judge Spencer, chairman of the board, said the board, since Monday, had decided a number of cases in which the 10 days granted for filing affidavits had not elapsed. He said this would not be done hereafter, but that the decisions thus far made would stand. Those who insist on their right to file further affidavits, in respect to cases al- ready decided, may do so. Counter affidavits were filed with, the board today against 10 men who were discharged by the Sixteenth Ward Board. Frank C. O'Malley, attorney for the Government, said three of the men would be accepted on a physical re-examination, and he attacked the statements made by seven in their exemption claims. The board granted exemption to Ralph Toensfeldt of 65619 Bartmer avenue, electrical engineer in the city lighting office. A. M. Branck, super-. intendent of the department, certi- fied Toensfeldt was indispensable. Postponoments until Dec. 1. in te- ginning service, were granted to twe employes of the Kusch-Sulzer-Diesel Engine Co., which is making engines for submarine-chasing torpedo boats. They are Elmer A. Sauer of 5136 Cates avenue and Frank H. Schu- macher of 5007 Von Versen avenue. George C. Ziegenbalg of 1819 North Vandeventer avenue, propric: tor of the Ziegenbalg Hide and Tal- low Co., obtained a postponement until Sept. 14. ~ Exemption appeals were overruled by the board in these cases:. Adolph '. Meyer, 1050 Hamilton, dependent wife; B. J. Wander, 1835 Russell. physical; Adrian J. Eskeles, 1072A Hodiamont, engaged in making uni- forms (second ruling on case), and Brien B. Dew, 4240A Delmar, -de- pendent wife. The number of men listed with the board, by ward draft boards, as ready to serve in the army, was increased today to 2653. The city’s quota is 4377, of which 30 per cent, or 1313, must be ready Sept. 5. Three hundred and forty-two reg- istrants weve certified today from seven wards as follows: Twenty- eighth, 11; First, 17; Twenty-fifth, 70; Twenty-fourth, 2; Seventeenth, 45; Seventh, 36, and Sixth, 161. The returns made by the Sixth are within nine of its fuil quota. Men who have failed to appear for examination hefore the’ward boards number 589 and a total of about 1009 is expected before the work of exam- ination is completed. Most of them are from the river wards, where there is a large drifting population. Exemptions granted to 1155 men have been reported. Men to Be Re-examined. The District Board was notified to- day that the Fifth Ward next Mon- day and Tuesday will re-examine all the registrants who were rejected for physical reasons, Under the law at least two physicians are necessary for the examination. The 140 men recalled by the Fifth Ward Board had been rejected after being exam- ined by only one physician. Thirty-two cases were considered yesterday by the district appeals board. Eight men were granted postponements of service and the claims of 24 registrants were denied. G. A. Cramer, president of the Cramer Dry Plate Co. has an- nounced that he will appeal to -the President against the decision of the board denying exemption to W. A. Griesedieck of 2915 Russell, an em- ploye of the firm and a member of a wealthy St. Louis family. Cramer says that Griesedick is working on a secret formula neces- sary in the dry plate business arid great loss will be entailed on the company if the young man is ccm- pelled to leave his work. Two Other Appeals. Up to the present only two appeals have been made to the President from the Appeal Board out of the 150 cases disposed of. August F. Bahr of 4500 McPher- son avenue, a secret service agent for the Commercial Acid Co., an East St. Louis concern, and B. B. Gruend- ler of 2616 North Garrison avenue, vice president of-a patent crusher | company, are the men who have ap- pealed to the court of last resort. The Third Ward and the Four- teenth Ward yesterday issued calls for additional men to appear for ex- amination. In the Third the regis- trants summoned are from order of call No. 351 to 490 incluusive, and in the Fourteenth from order of call No. 493 to 692, inclusive. — Vardaman to Have Opposition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The battle over conscription of wealth to pay for the war continued in the Senate, with the leaders hopeful of disposing of the war tax bills’ income tax section before night. Once, in- comes have been disposed of the way will have been cleared to begin the fight over war profits, which prora- ises to be even more spectacular than the present one. Today's chief contest was expected to come over Senator La Follette’s substitutes for the income tax sched- ules, proposing to levy about $600,- 000,000 and $505,000,000, respective- iy, and Senator Hollis’ substitute de- signed to raise about $550,000,000. The La Follette and Hollis amend- ments to the income tax section were passed over for the moment when debate began today, and the Senate took up consideration of the admin- istrative provisions of the section. Senator Norris. announced he would oppose reducing minimum in- comes subject to tax to $2000 for married men and $1000 for unmar- ried men. An amendment to provide a minimum of $3000 and $2000, re- spectively, has been introduced by Senator Trammel. The Senate tentatively adopted committee amendments creating ad- ditional tax on corporate ingomes from 2 to 4 per cent. Another revision tentatively ap- proved without objection was the elimination of the ‘House provision for the retroactive tax of one- -third on 1916 incomes. The first La Folletie substitute, which proposed new income surtaxes ranging from 1 per cent on incomes between $5000 and $7500 to 60 per cent on those over $1,000,000, was defeated yesterday by a vote of 58 to 21. Those voting for it were Demo- crats—Gore, Hardwick, Hollis, Hust- ing, Kirby; McKellar, Owen, Reed, Tramme]l and Vardaman. Repub- licans—Borah, Brady, Gronna, John- son of Californ’a, Jones of Washing- ton, Kenyon, La Follette, McNary, Norris, Poindexter and Townsend. During the debate yesterday Sen- ator Stone, a Finance Committee member, said he was surprised at the unexpected and somewhat formida- ble opposition to the committee’s re- , Vision work, and urged the Senate to support the draft. Another contest promised on the income section is over an. amend- ment introduced by Senator Tram- mell of Florida, proposing to strike out provisions in the bill lowering the exemption from income taxation to $1000 for single persons and $2000 for married, and to retain the present exemptions of $3000 and $4000 respectively. Secretary Tumulty authorized the statement that reports that Presi- dent Wilson had been supporting the attacks upon the revised draft of the tax bill were absolutely unfound- ed, and that the President had been taking no part in the controversy. bi-partisan majority CCARDS IS TO ECOME PART OF VANDERVOORT STORE Continued From Page One. ing year Goodman King became as- sociated with the firm as bookkeep- er and cashier.

Circuit Attorney McDaniel today received a complaint from policea department detectives that Shalesix Thomas, $1 years old, of 2801 Olive street, held on two charges of high- way robbery, was released on a com- mon-law bond approved by Judge Krueger of the Court of Criminal Correction yesterday afternoon, while additional witnesses against him were being sought. Thomas was arrested yesterday in a rooming house at 2801 Olive street and was identified by Joseph Spalla, a bartender at Steve Radisone’s sa~- loon, 3753 Page boulevard, as the companion of Bernard D. Whitelaw, who was shot and killed by a police- man while robbing the saloon Wednesday night. He also was iden- tified by William Cummins, a drug: gist, as one of two men who robbed him in his store at 2062 Cass avenue, Monday night. Cummins identified Whitelaw’s body as thit of the other robber. Judge Krueger today said the re- lease was regular and he had no roa- son to believe at the time that it would meet with police objection. SHOOTS THREE TIMES AT SELF AND BRUISES ONE EAR TWICE Arthur Langford, 27 years old, of 2715A Slattery street, decided at 1:15 o’clock this afternoon to kill him- self. He went into a bedroom of his home, picked up a revolver and, aim- ing at his head, fired. The bullet only grazed the tip of his right ear, so he made a second attempt. This time he succeeded in bruising the same ear a little lower down. He fired a third time, but told the police later that he never knew what course that bullet took. When taken to the city hospital he said that the only way he could ac- count for his poor aim was that he was extremely nervous. Langford, who has a wife and child, formerly was a river pilot. He said he had become despondent be- cause he had been out of work and had no money. GETS PRESIDENT OUT OF A HOLE Driver of Truck Pulls Exccutive's Limousine Out of the Mud. BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 24.— President and Mrs. Wilson had mo- tored from Washington into Mary- land a few days ago and were re- turning when the limousine backed off the smooth highway into a sog- sy piece of ground covered with grass. Into this the wheels sank until the car’s body touched the ground. The wheels could not be moved. The President sat still and grinned until a Baltimorean with a truck appeared. The driver and truck were immediately comman- deered. Soon the automobile was on firm ground. The President and’ neve Wilson thanked their rescuers and the se- cret service nen offered to pay him. He declined this, saying: ‘It’s enough to knew I got Presi- dent Wilson out of a hole.” Two Horses Killed in $2000 Fire.

After the conclusion of the Thirty Years’ War Germany was again and again ravaged by smaller wars, culminating in the Seven Years’ War of Frederick the Great and the humbling of Germany under the heel of Napoleon. in the wars of Frederick the Great one-tenth of the population was killed. Liven the great battle of the nations at Leipsic in 1813 did nOt free Germany from wars, and in 1866 Prussia and the smaller North German States, with Italy defeated Austria, assisted by Bavaria, Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Darmstadt, Nassau, Saxony, Baden, Wurttemberg and Hanover. Fear Created German Autocracy. I am convineed-that the fear of war, induced by a eaused the mass of the Germans to become the tools and dupes of those who played upon this very fear, in order to create a military. autocracy., On the other hand; and especially in the noble class, we have in Ger- many a great number of people who believe in war for its own sake. In part. these nobles are descendants of the Teutonic Knights, who conquered the Slav population of Prussia and have ever since bound that population tv their will. The Prussian army was created by the father of Frederick the Great, who went to the most ridiculous extremes in obtaining tall mén at all ¢osts for his force. Thé@ father of Frederick the Great gave the following written instructions } ‘¢ Above all, let both tutors exert themselves to the utmost to inspire him with a love of soldiery, and carefully impress to the two tutors Of his son: upon his mind that, as nothing can confer honor and fame upon a Prince except the sword, the monarch who seeks not his sole satisfaction in it must ever appear a contemptible character in the eyes of. the work de + Frederick the Great, left by the threatened to execute him, at the head of a marvelous army, with a full death of that father, who had once treasury, finally decided upon war-—as he admits in his own letters—‘‘in order to be talked about.’’ And his Seven Years’ War. desire to be talked about led to tho Blind Instinct for War and Conquest. | | a . The short war against Denmark in 1864, against Austria, Bavaria and the rest in 1866, and against France in 1870, enormously increased both the pride and prestige of th e Prussian army. It must not be forgotten that at all some blind instinct had driven the inhabi- tants of the inhospitable plains of North Germany to war and to conquest. The Cimbri and Teutons, the tribes defeated by Marius; Arovistur, who was defeated by Julius Ceasar, the Goths and the Visi-Goths, the Franks and the Saxons, all have poured forth from of other lands.

They had’ paid great attention to the developmen: of the submarine. ‘Their aeroplanes were superior to those of other na- tions. They bé@lieved that in the use of poison gas, which was prepared before the outbreak of the war, they had a prize that would absolutely demoralize their enemy. They haa thetr flame-throwers and the heavy artillery and howitzers which re- duced the redoutable forts of Liege and Namur to fragments within a few hours and which made the holding of any fortresses impossible. On their side, by the imposition of a heavy tax called the “wehr- beitrag,’’ or supplementary defense tax, they had, in 1913, increased their army by a number of army corps. On ‘the other hand, the law for three- year military service voted in France had not yet gone into effect, nor had the law for universal military sery- ice voted by the Belgian Chambers. Undoubtedly the Germans based great hopes upon the Bagdad rail- way. which was to carry their influ- ence to the East, and even threatened the rule of England in Egypt and In- dia. Undoubtedly there was talk, too, of a Slav railroad to run from the Danube to the Adriatic, which would cut off Germany from access to the Southern Sea. Francis De- loisi, the Frenchman, in his book pub- lished before the great war, called “De la Guerre des Balkans a la Guerre Europeenne,”’ says: “In a word, the present war (Balkan) is the work of Russia, and the Danube- Asiatic Railway is a Russian project. If it succeeds, a continuous barrier of Slav peoples will bar the way to the Mediterranean, the path of Austro- German expansion from the Black Sea to the Adriatic. But here again the Romanoffs confront the Haps- burgs, the Austro-Servian conflict be- comes the Austro-Russian conflict, two great groups are formed, and the Balkan conflict becomes the Eu- ropean conflict.” Germany Belicved the French De- gencrate, Another reason for an immediate war was the loan by France to Rus- sia, made on condition that addition- al strategic rallways were to be con- structed by the Russians in Poland. Although this mopey had been re- ceived the railways had not been constructed at the time of the open- ing of the great war. Speaking of this situation, the Russian General, Kuropatkin, in his report for the yea 1900, sald: ‘‘“\We must cherish no illu- sions as to the possibility of an easy victory over the Austrian army,” and he then went on to Say that “Aus- tria had eight railways to transport troops to the Kussian frontier, while Russia had only four, and while Ger- many had 17 such railways running to the German-Russian frontier the Russians had cnly five."”” Kuropatkin further said that “the differences are too enormous and leave’ our neigh- bors a superiority which cannot be avercome by .the numbers of our troops, nor their courage.” Comparing the two armiés, Kuro- patkin said: “The invasion of Rus- sia by German troops is more prob- able than the invasion of Germany by Russian troops;” further, that “our western frontier, in the event of a European war, would-be in such HARRY A.GARFIELD ...

Illuminating figures may be seen in the gold purchase of the German Imperial Bank: In 1911. 174,000,000 marks; in 1912, 173,000,000 marks, but in 1913, 317,000,000 marks. There was a belief in Germany that the French nation was degener- ate and corrupt and unprepared for war. This belief became conviction when, in the debates of the French Senate, Senator Humbert, early in 1914, publicly exposed what he claimed to be the weakness and un- preparedness of France.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24:—Com- pletion of the adimnistration’s pro- gram for Federal control of the coal industry was in sight today when officials turned their attention to the fixing of retail prices and the regu- lation of distribution. Dr. Harry Garfield, president of Williams C&- lege, appointed to head the _ coal administration, will take charge of the work as soon as he finishes his duties with the committee fixing prices on wheat. The President’s action in estab- lishing prices on anthracite for oper- ators and jobbers and limiting prof-: its to be made by bituminous whole- salers, is considered the most impor- tant step yet taken-toward bringing the business under Government su- pervision. The new anthracite prices, effective Sept. 1, vary slightly from the rates now charged at the mines, under a voluntary agreement made with the Federal Trade Commission by operators. Retail costs probably will drop as a result of the drastic restrictions placed on jobbers’ prof- its. | Scale for Railroad-Owned Mines.

Thompson of 17 Hortenss place, a railroad contractor tele- graphed his empleyers here today from Atlantic City that he had been awarded a contract by the United States Government for the construc- tion of an aviation camp at Fort Worth, Tex., for the use of the Canadian Government. The estimuted cost of the work Is to be between three million and four million dollars, it was said at Thompson's cffice. Work is to be started immediately, and is to be rushed to completion as fast as pos- sible. The Thompson company has two other targe Governmental jobs in course of erection. They are the encampments at Camp Bowie at Fort Worth and Camp Cody at Deming. N. M. The Camp Cody grounds arv to cost about $3,000,000. The aviation encampment field is being erected to give training quar- ters to Cauadians for the year around, as wearther in the winter months in Canada is too severe for the work. $2,112,283 SUPPLIES BOUGHT BY CITY DURING LAST YEAR Matcrials Purchased Cost $289,108 More Than in 1915-1916 An- nual Report Shows. Supplies of food, materials and equipment of all kinds purchased by the city during the year ending April 10, last, cost $2,112,283.26, an in- crease of $289,108.58, compared with 1915-16. The increase was due not only to the larger quantity purchased, but also to higher prices for nearly everything the city needed. These figures are contained in the annual report of the Supply Commissioner, submitted to the Mayor yesterday. Sales of junk and condemned prop- erty aggregated $35,535.31, which was $20,938.83 more than was re- ceived for discarded articles in the previous year. The junk and con- demned machinery brought consider- ably higher prices last year than in 1915-16.

When the water was reached the hull became detached from the sledge and as it gradual- ly sank it slowly righted itself.

Both Po- litical and Military, Are Bet- | ter Than for Month. NEW $100,000,000 LOAN Additional Credit Extended by United States for Supplies Which Are Badly Needed. _ WASHINGTON, Ais. 24; ue Ane other credit of $100,000,000 to Rus- sia was made today by the American Government. This brings the total of credits ex- tended so tar to the Russian Govern- ment to $275,000,000. Some of the money probably will be used to pur- chase railway supplies and equip- ment in this country. Approximately 2500 locomotives, tens of thousands of freight cars and many thousands tons of steel rails and other railway equipment are needed at chee. Complete confidence in the new today by the State Department. Sec- retary Lansring denied that news from -Russia had caused this Gov- ernment to take a pessimistic view of the situation. “I regard tne Government of Rus- sia as stronger today than it has been for a month,” he said. ‘I mean in general,” he added, “both from political and military points of view. This opinion is based upon reports more or less confidential than we have been getting.” Reports Still Are Withheld. Secretary Lansing, however, did not alter his decision not to make public any of the recent reports from Russia. The position taken i: the news received from there is of .. nature that should be given out by the provisional Government. Re- ports from certain officials, regarded as disquieting, have been receive within the last week, but Secretary Lansing’s flat expression of confi- dence is the first official intimation that the opinion wag not general. Secretary Lansing pointed out tha: the recommendations of the Root comission are being carried out. The exact character of the recommenda- tions, or the aid being éxtended waa not stated, but it was indicated thar further financial assistance would be extended and that prompt measures would be taken to relieve the rail- road situation by forwarding ro!liug stock and railway material. Regarding the military situation Secretary Lansing professed less concern than has been displayed by many observers. He explained thaf the@hreatened loss of Riga had not been confirme’ and pointed out that the place had been evacuated five times during the war without once having been taken by the Germans Change of Capital Long Contem.- plated. Rumors of changing the capital from Petrograd to Moscow appearei not to have alarmed this Governr- ment. Secretary Lansing pointed ou: that such a move has been contem- plated for years. Major-Genera! Scott, chief of staff, who was a member of the Root commission said that the capture of Petrograd would only be slight strategical loss to the Russians. 7 : Much of the salvation of the new democracy rests, it is believed here. in the action to be taken by the great national? council to be held to Moscow, beginning Sunday. The conservatfve elements of the nation are expected to attempt to force the Provisional Government to throw off the Socialistic domination of the Soldiers’ and Workmen’s Council. The gathering probably will re- sult in the formation. of a strong centralized government and yre- sumption of the drive against the Central Powers or else open civil strife. Rumania’s Case Considered. In connection with the new ad- vance of money to Russia, consid. eration also is being given to the case of hard-pressed Rumania, whose troons are fighting with the Russians to stop the Teutonic drive in the southeast. It is understood any loan for Rumania will be han- dled through Russia. , German intrigues in Russia are known to »%e exerting powerful in- fluence to >ring anarchy in the new DENT Russian Government was expressed. anne tenement ee 6.

FOURTH Craig Musical Comedy Company to Appear at Union Theater Next Monday Evening. The Cralg Musical Comedy ,Com- pany, a group of juvenile entertain- ers who have given successful enter- Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund for the last three years, has arranged a charming program to be given at the Union Theater, Union and Easton avenues, next Monday evening. ’ The children in the company are from 6 to 14 years old and some of them have had experience on professional stage. Little Miss Dor- othy Craig has assisted in the en- tertainment for the Post-Dispatch Milk and Ice Fund since she was only 2 years old. Helene Wiggins, another member, on several occa- sions last winter appeared in the Park Opera Company. A lemonade stand which was oper- ated by six girls of one family, as- sisted by four other girls was produc- tive of $3.02 for the Milk and Ice Fund. It was operated at Utah and California avenues, and the youth- Alice, Jeanette, Regina and Frances Berger, 3304 California; Marie Doll, 3252 California; Hilda Jesel, 3302 California, and Alma and Alice Schneider, 3314 California avenue. Another lemonade stand, which yielded $1, was operated at Spring and Castleman avenues jast. week. Delany Mitchell, 3823 Castleman; Robert Martin, 3815 Castleman, and John Aldon Maynes, 3817 Castleman avenue, were the proprietors. Will Give Several Shows. Last Tuesday night a’ group of five South Side children presented a charming program at 3027 Osage street, which yielded $5.54. Songs, dances and musical selections were the features. According to present plans, these children will give a show for the fund each Tuesday evening until their school sessions start. They had a stage constructed and are enthusiastic about the work. The little workers are George Tro- jahn, 2217 Keokuk street; Charlotte Schmitt,. 4137 Ohio avenue; Minnie and Edna Webb, 3027 Osage avenue, and Jeanette Nilhas, 3009 . Osage street. Children spending the summer at Piasa Chautauqua arranged on their own initiative a milk fund berefit which was given Monday night at the Chautauqua auditorium. The program was as Play, group; piano solo, Virginis Thompson; dance, Jaclyn Jones; recitation, Lucille Miller; dance, Lu- cie Richardson; recitation, Jane Jones; dance, Marjorie Jean Lasar’ recitation, Nina Lewis dance .group; dance, Martha Miller: recitation. Jane Jones; salute, Jaclyn Jones: Star Spangled Banner, group. They were assisted by Miss Thel- ma Hurck with a piano solo and Miss Ruth Behymer with a piano- logue The children. made their cos-umes. In spite of inclement weather they realized $17, to which Mrs. Louis G. Kurtzeborn added $3 to make an éven total of $20. The children plan to repeat the entertainment next Monday evening. 18 From Entertainment. “The Lost Fairy Queen,” a sketch in which Irene Frillmann had the role of the Queen, Francis Finn was the Prince and Gladys Mitchell was the Maid, was the feature of a charming vaudeville program that was given at 2648 -Caroline_street™ last Wednesday’ evening, $18. “Uncle Sam,’ in Which Wil- liam Shoemacher was a star, and a butterfly dance by Helen Purcell foilows: other attractive numbers. Helen Purcell and Lucille Ament imperson- ated Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle in a clever dance act. Another capti- vating number was ‘The Irishman’s Dream,” in which Mrs. Christine Dougherty and chorus appeared. Helen Miller gave a'recitation enti- tled “Teddy.” The children in the show, who were under the direction of Mrs. Helen Miller, were: Louise Finnegan, 2643 Caroline street; Frances Finn, 1313 Ohio avenue; Helen Purcell, £646 Caroline street; Eileen Mitch- ell, 2645 Caroline street; Irene and Georgia Frillman, 2651 Caroline street;, Gladys Mitchell, 2645 Caro- line street; Lucille Ament, 2646 Car- oline street; Margaret and Helen Slattery, 2650 Caroline street; Helen Miller, 2648 Caroline street, and Champ Stonebraker, 2647 Caroline street. In reporting the delightful enter- tainment that was given at 1454 Goodfellow avenue last week, the ehilcren inadvertently failed to stare that Margaret Nicholson Was the pianist. More than 400 persons attended the entertainment and dance given at the Harberger Hall, King’s high- way and Von Versen avenue, ‘si mage 4 night. The various num- on the program were so ar- tistically presented in this Post-Dis- patch benefit entertainment that several members of the Navy League, who attended, requested a repeat performance for the. benefit MILK FUND SHOW CONTRIBUTIONS.

JOSEPH PULITZER. f ———-_ LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. (A “Heart-broken Mother's” letter will be published if she will send her name and address in confidence to the Editor as an evidence of good faith.) . Germany Is Licked. Yo the Evitor of the Post-Dispatch. For what does Germany fight?’ Certainly mot victory, trade or commerce. - Should Germany sink every merchant ships that sails the seas, she has not gained one league more of sea room for her own navy or merchant fleet, and has acquired noth- ing except the lasting enmity and contempt of all the world. Germany well under- stands that in the ‘!ast analysis she has to reckon: with the navies of the Wnited States, England, France, Japan and Italy, to say nothing of the lesser powers, and it is only by the consent of these five great naval Powers that Germany will ever dare pail the seas again. Germany’s submarine warfare, with all fof its boasted achievements, cannot pre- Vent some 56000 ships from arriving or de- Parting from English and French ports each week, while the blockade by England and France does not allow two per cent of i this number of ships to either arrive or} ] depart from German ports. The Govern- ment of the United States does not seem greatly concerned about Germany’s under- sea war starving England and France, else She would not be sending an army of her own to these shores at this time.. Germany, as a fighting machine, either on land or water, is rreatly over-estimated. ‘When her armies inside of the strongest fortified positions ever constructed by man, cannot successfully hold back the armies of France and England, then her boast of supremacy becomes as “brass or tinkling her ground hog positions, and fight this thing out above ground England and France would drive her army across the Rhine in 30 days. The longer Germany continues the cowardly, sneaking, piratical, murderous, sea-whacking method of war- fare, the more certainly she writes her own doom, desolation and isolation, among the self-respecting nations of earth. The facts in the case are Germany is licked, and has been, since the battle of the Marne. Since that fateful engagement she has been play- ing safe, keeping her head well under ground, grabbing at the chances, hoping for the unexpected, looking for a safe place to light. ‘OLD SOLDIER, Saffro..

Please permit this acknowledgement, @ven though belated, of yur editorial re- ferring to the letter of protest against the “picketing” at Washington, which was sent put by the National Suffrage Association. We greatly appreciate youn conclusion: "By submitting the Federal Amendment, Congress can clear up the situation and put an end to the seventy years’ struggle ef women to obtain it.” There is no other action that can pos- #ibly put an end to this struggle except the submission of a Federal Amendment. There are at the present time about two million women enrolled in the National Suffrage Association, a large majority of whom are giving their best energy to the effort for the suffrage. In every state the able advices of these women is greatly heeded in other channels, but it will never be diverted into these channels until they have secured what they believe to be their greatest need for community work of all kinds. They are thoroughly convinced that without a voice in electing members of City Councils and Legislatures, they are trippled in every kind of civic work which they attempt to do.

LD King Coal was a merry old soul, () And a merry old soul was he; He had his pipe, and he had his bowl, And he had his fiddlers three. However, if one has enough acquisitiveness to ac- quire anything at all, one cannot by the same sign quit when one has acquired enough. This was true of the monarch mentioned above. There was no such thing as enough. Cou So He piled up bowls as he sold his coals, Thou, And he put more fiddlers on; Ten for the night when the moon was bright, And ten for the peep of dawn. This is one of the mysteries of life. Why one who has an automobile, for instance, should want two or three of them, as is frequently the case, beats us. Still, we are one thing or the other. Socrates, who wanted nothing, acquired nothing? Mr. Rockefeller, who wanted everything, keeps on piling it up. If there is a middle ground, nobody lives on it. So old King Coal had a mighty roll, And he wore a golden hat; He deftly boosted the price of coal, And he busted the country flat. It seems scarcely worth writing the rest. Anybody can guess it. A king on this earth can go just so far, and then something falls on him. There is some dis- agreement as to just what it is that falls on him. Some people say it is one thing, and some another. Bill Haywood, who warns us the working people are going to ride in automobiles or nobody is, says it is justice. If that is so, it will fall on Bill some day. There is the same deadline for one kind of monkey business as another. At any rate, the President Upswung his trusty bat, And the world looks tolerably Safe now for cold weather. = FR FANCY. & thru mist-clouds of perfume blue grad A gold And woman crowned, senses to meet With her, while all about the cool air rolled From her brown locks, in intersecting fold On fold, to mountain tops—strange to eagle's feet— And murmuring Southern streams, and back to my Hot check. flush, Like Pansy’s cheek, seen naked thru her blush When bathing in morning dew, and whitened by.

WALKER. awl Nell ELL had gone to the country to N spend the summer with her grandparents, and at the same time her cousins, Tom and Ned, were making a visit, too. At first everything went smoothly. Tom and Ned let Nell play with them and took her for walks in the woods. but after awhile they thought her a bother, and then poor little Nell longed for a girl playmate anid wished there were no boys in the world. One day Nell’s mother told her she could have a tea party for her dolls under the big oak in the yard. Nell set the table with the doil dishes and Betty—that was the name of her doll—was put in her chair by the table. When all was ready Nell ran into the kitchen to get the little cakes her mother had promised her and the sweetened water to use for tea. “Oh, look at the doll sitting at the table,” said Tom, “she hasn't any- thing to eat, either.” “Tet’s give her a worm,” said Ned. “Oh! yes, that will be fun to see Nell jump; let us puf it*in the dish with a cover and watch-what she does,’”” 3a:1 Tom. It did not take them long to finda long, wigg}y worm, which they do- posited in a little dish and placed the cover back in place just as Nell came around the corner. Both boys ran off when they saw Nell and hid behind the fence, where they could see what happened. Nell sat on the ground beside the table and began her party. First she poured the sweetened water into a cup, for Betty and placed a little cake on her plate. She then served hcr- self, andi then saw the dish with the cover move a little, and over it went, the big, wiggly worm on the table. Nell jumped up and ran screamin z into the house, her party spoiled, and Betty, poor doll, was tipped from her chair in the scramble. Tom and Ned rolled over on the ground and laughed with delight. “Girls are no good,” said Tom; “they are afraid of everything.” That night when the farmhouse was still and all the lights were out Nell heard a noise right over her room. Thinking she must have left the window open in the attic, she jumped out of bed, Nell sometimes played in the big, open attic, and her mother had told her she must be careful always tuo close the window, as the wind would blow the old papers and books about. Very softly she went up the stairs in her bare feet, and not a sound was heard until she stool on the top stair. ~ . There in the moonlight on the op- osite side of the attic sat Tom and ed. on the floor by the window eat- ing a pie. : They did not see Nell at first, and then Tom looked toward the stairs and saw the little white figure. His,eyes grew big with fright; he dropped the piece of ple he was eat- ing and began to shaké. ve ha oR _ +..3 ‘without it ae I © - will power is aa- SB AuglSQ eee Ned turned to-see “what had and Her Cousins frightened him and he, too, saw the white figure, but he did not trem- ble; he tried to scream; he was so frightened, however, that he only made a smothered noise. “You needn’t be scared I'll tell,” Nell said. “I am no tell-tale; I thought the window was open and I came to close it. What is the mattér with you boys, are you cold?” asked Nell. “We thought you were a ghost,” stammered Tom. “There are no such things as ghosts,”’ said Nell, ‘“‘and you had aet- ter go to bed; I won’t tell about the pie or that I scared you, either.” Nell went downstairs and Tom and Ned slowly and softly followed her, but they did not go to sleep until long after—they had been too scared to forget it very soon. The next morning they looked at Nell: very sheepishly, expecting her to tell everybody what had hap- pened, but the day passed and not a word did Nell lisp about the night before. After a week had passed and she had not told, Tom said one day to Ned: “I think girls can keep a secret after all. Nell hasn’t told on us.”’ “She ‘s an all-right girl after all,” said Ned. “Let us build her a big dollhouse in the yard under the tree.”’ “All right,” said Tom. “We will, and we won't plague her any more, either.” ; ; And they didn’t. Nell enjoyed the rest of her stay at the farm, and nd oné but Nell knew why the boys stopped teasing her. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)

Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle cor- taining about three ounces of or- chard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of the best skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it really does clear, smoothen and beautify the skin amazingly. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very lit- tle cost and the grocer has tho , lemons.—ADV, ka tiie Lami~- VACATION BEAUTY HINTS By PAULINE FURLONG HE eyes and skin should be well T protected from strong rays of the sun, because it not only darkens, or reddens- and biis- ters the skin, but also causes wrinkles, fine lines and weak eyes. The habit of scowling and making faces when in the sun causes more wrinkles than old age, and the eyes should be protected with smoked glasses or a dark-green chiffon veil. Facial grimaces, such as drawing the lips from side to side, raising the eyebrows, sneering, or violent outbursts of laughter, are deadly en- emies to the smooth, child-like com- plexion and produce ugly lines which cannot be effaced. Shrinking muscles also cause wrinkles and flabbiness, and they must be nourished and kept firm and strong from the inside as well as the outside, for no amount of flesh foods will build up the muscles when ap- plied externally only. Anemia is a common cause of shrunken muscles, and the entire system must be built up and rejuvenated in order to sup- ply the weak, soft muscles with the rich blood upon which they feed. Facial exercises and upward, gen- tle massage, as well as applications of hot and then cold water, followed by a rub with ice, is the best exter- nal treatment for sagging jaws and sallow, flabby skin, but the practice must be persistent and followed out each night to bring results. When women determine the causes of unsightly. ljmes in the face they should aim to avoid them as much as possible, and this will at least prevent the lines from growing deeper and render them easier to ra- move. Worry and undue fatigne spoil many otherwise lovely complexions, and the habit of calm and poise not only keeps one coo! but improves the skin also. Women who notice many fine Nnes and undue dryness of the skin should take the rest cure and use cold cream very freely meanwhile. veloping this coming season.

Like the old man bemoaning his hard luck, everything oes along getting badder and badder and you can’t see a ray of hope, and finally, when things are absolutely hopeless, all of a sudden they will turn right around—and get worse.

You remember the bustle dress girl came along in two sections and to lift the back of her skirt required the arm of a tennis champ.

It was first adopted in British India in 1848, by Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden, who kad been asked to equip a corps of guides to collect in- telligence and to conduct an English force on the northwestern frontier of India. he cloth used was a light cotton drill, as suited the climate of Hindoostan, and took its name from a native term, “khaki,’”’ which means in the Urdu language, ‘“dusty,’’ be- ing derived from ‘“‘khak”’ or dust, says Popular Science Monthly. Thus the term applied to the color of the cloth rather than to the material. Though the dictionary tells us it is pronounced kaykee by the natives, the English have giveh it to us as kharkee, and this is the correct pro- nounciation. Having been approved, the use of the cloth spread from the guides to others in the Indian army, and :t was worn in the Sepcy Mutiny cf 1847 by the English troops. In the Boer War, 1899 1902, khaki was adopted in the British service for an active service uniform, and so worn by all English and Colonial troops in Africa. But as cotton was not warm enougpb for tho African highlanders. uniforms of ths same kind were made of serge, and the term khaki thus included woolen as well as cot- ton fabrics. Because it was well fitted for the climate of Cuba anv the Philippines, the United States chose khaki for the soldiers’ uni- forms during the Spanish-American War.

Later, Secre- tary Lansing’s hopeful | statement about Russian affairs increased the confidence of the market, and went far toward dissipating the alarm which had been felt. over the hints that there was sométhing far more seriously wrong than the Petrograd and Washington correspondents had been allowed to print.. Our Govern- ment emphasized its faith in Russia by a further advance of $100,000,000 to that country, bringing the total up to $275,000,000. Prices which the president estab- lished for anthracite revealed no such drastic cut in the prevailing level of quotations as had marked the regulation of’ the bituminous coal industry. In fact, the price fixed for one or two grades of anthracito was higher than the figures which the producers themselves have quot- ied. It is obviously impossiblé to fore- cast, from the action taken with re- gard to coal, what will be done with steel, copper, cil and other commodi.- ties. What -loes seem apparent, from the way the price of anthracite and bituminous coal has been adjusted, is that each case will stand on its merits, as the Federal investigators tmay determine. Where existing prices are far out of line with the results arrived at in ‘Washington, the readjustment may ‘be severe; vut in the case of anthra- cite, the tra ls had already apparent- ly aligned itself with the ideas of the Government cfficials. Today's exports of gold included $300,000 to Chile and $1,560,000 to Japan. Thus far the combined out- ward movement in July and August has been about $61,000,000, follow- ing the shipment of $67,000,000 in June—the largest monthly total m our history. The question of re- stricting this outflow in some man- ner may become as pressing as the regulsetion of exchange rates, yet any obstacles placed in the way of gold shipments will tend to increase the difficulties of bringing the neutral ex- changes back toward normal. Russian Exchange Sinks. A further movement in favor of New York exchange rates on Rome and sales of Petrograd cable trans- fers at approximately ‘the lowest price touched during the war were the most significant developments of the day in the foreign exchange mar- kets. The rates on neutral Euro- pean centers were little altered. How to deal with these latter exchanges, and, if possible, to reduce the ex- horbitant premium which at present exists in New York, promises to be- come one of the most striking eco- nomic and financial problems - the coming months. Where both difficulties of sien portation and the unwillingness of neutral markets to receive gold have made the transfer of the metal to Northern Europe impractieable, the question is one to tax the ingenuity. of the treasury and its noses P ) experts. Any mere prohibition of dealings, such as most of the bellig- erents have put into effect, can hard- any striking improvement in the dol- lar rate is apt to aggravate the prin- cipal cause for the present disar- rangement; namely. the depreciation of the exchanges of the entente na- tions on the neutral money markets. Curb Trading Shows Marked Im- provement. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—Thereé was Pronounced improvement in the character of the trading on _ the/,; Broad street curb, with buying or- ders in evidence from many sources. with most importance attached to the increased outside interest.
