PETROGRAD, a 6.—It is semi- Officially announced that a German fleet has appeared in the Gulf of Riga. The Russian forces are continuing their retreat toward the northeast iu the Riga region, crossing the Melupe river, the War Office announced to- day. “In the Riga region, north of the Livonian Aa,’’ reads the official state- ment, “we continued our retirement northeastward, crossing the River Melupe. In the region of the Pskoy road and the Livonia Aa, our infan- try retirement to,the region of Sege- vold-and Ligat, 25 versts southwest of Venden. “Our troops operating in the re- gion east.of Riga are continuing to retire under the enemy pressure, reaching the approximate line of Klangsnberg, Moretazberg, Kesiran and Friedrichstadt. 7 The retreat over a neck of land a mile and a half wide between .Lake Kish and Lake Egel, is being accom- plished with the greatest difficul-y and with the enemy constantly shet:- ing the rear guard. This route 1s along the Pskoff Railway, and is ‘he | only’ €xit from the cul de sac, the German column having moved up from the Kull direction, cutting off the Russian retreat to the southeast. Gen. Alexieff, former commander in chief, said today that Petrograd was not threatened by the fall of Riga. The greater danger, he addea, ‘Wwas-on the Rumanian front. Gen, Vassilkovski, commander of the Pet- rograd military district, agrees with Gen. Alexieff. He declares the fall of Riga is of moral but not strategic importance and gives assurance that the Petrograd garrison is in good spirits, well disciplined and confident of the safety of the capital. Drastic measures have decided upon by the Government to ayert se- rious conditions at the capital as a result of the capture of Riga. Agents will be sent out to stop the flood of refugees on the’ way here. Railways have been forbidden to sell them tickets to Petrograd. During the last two days the Riga front has been broken on a width of 60 versts (40 miles). Throughout Tuesday the Germans energetically pursued their offensive, particularly north of Uxkull, in order to cut the Riga-Vennen Railway. The civilian head of the War Min- istry: Boris Savinkoff\ has issued a statement saying that the success of the me¢asures which have been taken to check the advance “depend wholly upon the behavior of our troops.” Despites reports of the disgraceful! flight of certain elements of Rus- sian defenders of Riga positions, military commentators praise the heroism of certain regiments, among which were some composed of Letts, who fought bravely to stem the tide of retreat, in fact setting an exam- rile for their comrades. The chief of the general ati, Gen. Romanofsky, expresses the opinion that the ‘evacuation consti- tutes no imminent menace to Petro- grad, because the near approach of the rainy season will prevent the enemy froth advancing far inthe direction of the capital. The danger of a descent upon the coast near to Petrograd is also discounted in of- ficial circles for like reasons and the additional difficulty the enemy would find in maintaining communication pleader, whose ili-fortune CERTIFY HALF OF QUOTA BY SEPT. 13 — Change in Plans Result of Back- wardness of Country Districts in Furnishing Men.

St. in the national at present in order to reach 50 per cent of its total quota of 4377. S* Louis County's quota is 405. Gen. McCord also instructed the district board to wire him at once if any of the districts were failing to keep up the standard of speed neces- sary for the 50 per cent quota and that he would send inspectors to speed up the work. The backward wards in St. Louis are the Thirteenth and Nineteenth. Neither has had any of its men cer- tified to. the Adjutant-General; nor has County District No. 2, centering at Ferguson. In reply to a question from the District Board, Acting Governor Crossley today wired that there was no authority for exempting Y. M. C. A. military camp workers from the national army. The Board has granted five exemptiohs in cases of men thus employed and the deci- sions will be reversed. The District Bogrd yesterday as‘ed Adj.-Gen. McCord for permission to employ two additional clerks in order to catch up with its work. It has pending before it 1352 appeals and is able to decide only about 25 or 30a day. The board now has 15 clerks working. PROPHET ABOUT END OF WAR, HAVING FAILED, TRIES AGAIN Von Heydebrand, Conservative Lead- er, Says It Will Be Over by New Year; Wants No More Encemiecs.

This timé he prédicts that the war will not last through the winter and probably will be énded by the new yar.

MANY WENT LAST NIGHT Three Wards Have Dispatched Their Entire Quota of Five Per Cent. With the departure this morning of two more drafted men from S&t. Louis for the national army canton- ment at Camp Funston, Kan., 88 registrants from this city have been dispatched to the training camp. By next Monday St. Louis and St. Louis County will have approximately 250 men under instruction. The 84 men who departed yester- day morning and the two men who left ‘St. Louis the night before had arrived at Camp Funston! by noon today. The men who were sent away this morning were Vito Cadice of 1009 North Eleventh street and Hor- midos Bois Joly of 1714 Wash street, registrants in the Fifth Ward. Many Departed Last Night. All the wards in the city, except six, and two districts in St. Louis County, sent men to Camp Funston last night. Three wards, the Twelfth, Seventeenth and Twenty-third, sent their entire quota of 5 -per cent, 10 to 12 men each. These wards will dispatch no more men until Sept. 19, when 50 per cent of the quota is ‘o be mobilized. The Twenty-fourth Ward will send away a contingent of 17 tonight. The wards not represented last night were the Second, Third, Thirteenth, Kighteenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-~ fourth. With the exception of the Twenty-fourth, these wards have not had a sufficient number of their reg- istrants certified to the Adjutant- General at Jefferson City. Kerry Patch Has Its Hero.

The receipts from fares in that tinie were $5055.75 and*101,113 pas- sengers were carried. The large bus carried 53,368 of this number. The total mileage of all three buses was 35,475. The expenses included wages of drivers and conductors, repairs, gas- oline, insurance, a fixed charge of 15 per e2nt for depreciation and in- cidental items.

RUSSIANS APOLOGIZE FOR FIRING BALL CARTRIGES AT GERMANS Swedish Correspondent Tells of Fra- ternizing of Troops gn East Front in Officers’ Absence. STOCKHOLM, Aug. ??.—A story of the fraternizing of the German and Russian troops along the east front. is told by a Swedish corre- spondent. The usual daily visits were going on, he says, and all was peaceful when the Russians sudden- ly hegan firing furiously from one section of their trenches. A German officer ran over and called out in- dignantly, “What do you mear by shooting with ball cartridges?” A Russian officer explained apolo- getically, ‘“‘The Colonel has just come up for inspection, but he'll be going away in a minute.”’ When the Associated Press corre- spondent was at the front a Ger- man Major told how one of his of- ficers was shot,through the leg while walking in front of the trenches at a time when, by the custom of that period, neither side was supposed to fire. He made indignant repre- sentations about it later to the Rus- sians, and ‘was told that a party of high officers had visited the trenches and the soldiers had to shoot. “But even at that,’’ said the Major, “the fools might have fired higher.” GERMANS CROSSED DVINA RIVER WITHOUT LOSS OF A MAN Artillery and Mine Throwers Did Miffective Work in Advance on Riga, Correspondcnt Says.

Among the men who departed last night was Dalton Kinsella of 4422 Lindell boulevard, who gave up a $6000 job as vice president of the Hanley & Kinsella Coffee and Spice Co. when drafted into the national army.

The Judge said the price was too low and he ordered that five days’ notice be giv- en for a second sale. with a detached force. The newspapers take a gloomier | view of the situation. Russky In- valid, the least pessimistic in its ex- pressions, finds nothing definitely hopeless inthe situation “if our troops have not forgotten that they are Russians and if some brilliant officers are found among them who ready to do their duty.” The military organ of the Riga front is of the opmion that the Ger- mans were able to cross the Dvina because they knew absolutely the positions of all the Russian battery emplacements and thus were able to silence the guns. Military circles say that it is im- possible to foresee what line the re- tiring Russinn forces will eventually take up; that everything depends upon arresting the panic in the rear of the army, where there is great “At the present time,” says the Continued on Page 3, Col. 2. = ONE The ALONE 20 Cols.

KING'S DEATH EXPECTED Wealthy Widow Was Shot While With Secretary in Se- cluded Spot. “ACCIDENT” WAS VERDICT. Woman fnd Man Had Left Companions in Auto to Get Drink at Spring. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Further in- vestigation into the death of Mrs. Maude A. King, whose wealth was estimbated yesterday by friends > not iess than $2,000,000, and who lived in expensive apartment at 1155 Park avenue, is likely, according to a dispatch received from Concord, N. C. Mrs. King met her death just out- side Concord, late Wednesday a week ago, through the discharge of an au- tomatic pistol. Within a few feet of her at the time was Gaston Bullock Means, her secretary and confidenti1l agent. A coroner’s inquest resulte‘1 in a verdict of death by accidental dischage of a pistol held by Mrs. King. Dispatches from Concord last nizat announced that Means had gone with the funeral party to Morrison, UL, but had telegraphed there vesterd:ty that he would return to Concord Saturday. Although it was 2 week ago Wei- nesday that the tragedy occurred, was not until Monday that New Yo newspapers gave their first news of Mrs. King’s death; and it was Aot until the arrival here yesterday of a business man from Concord thit friends of Means and Mrs. King aot full details. Tells of the Inquest. This man, whose name is withhetd. said that very late Wednesday aftte~'- noon a week ago he saw Mrs. King, Means, a brother of Means and ‘n- other Concord man leave the town in a large automobile driven by a negro chauffeur. ; He said a Coroner's jury had been impaneled and before it appeared ali: the men who had been in the car. Means testified, he asserted, that tne party had started for a secluded part of the country outside the town fos target practice, with a small auto- matic which hé carried; that they stopped about two miles outside Con- cord. The chauffeur remained in the car, the others got out and fol- lowed a path to a spring. Means said he and Mrs. King walked ahead. while his brother and the other Con- cord man loitered some distance be- hind; that when they réached the spring Means, not. wishing to bend over with a loaded pistol in his pocket, placed the pistol in the fork of a tree, then turned his back to- ward Mrs. King while he bent over the spring to get a drink of water; that he heard a shot and saw Mrs. King stretched on the ground. Ankle Was Fractured. The Concord business man said it developed that Mrs. King’s ankle was either fractured or badly sprained and that there had been no testimony to show how she received the injury. He described the bullet as. having entered her head behind the ear. ie said that Means’ brother, the chauf- feur and the other Concord man all testified they did not see the acci- dent, the chauffeur deciaring foliage would have prevented him from see- ing any of the party after they had gone a short distance from the car. Mrs. King had been much in pub- lic view because of her beauty, wealth and her many adventures. Born in Morrison; a little town just outside of Chicago, of poor parents, she was married to James A. King, millionaire lumberman. She was 24, he 72. After his death it was found he had left her only $100,000. She sued, broke the will and settled for $1,000,000. Later’ Mrs. King went to Paris where she was married to Dr. Perry Chance, an American dentist. Later she divorced him and he lost a $5000 annuity. Met Means Three Years Ago, Three years’ago she met Means. He came here nearly 10 years ago with a group of Concord men to work in the New York offices of the Can- non Mills. Three years ago he Ieft this employment. He dropped in at his old quarters to tell his many friends of his activ- ities in German's behalf. Means is said to have boasted he was activel, in the employ of the German Embas- sy, He attracted attention of both the British and United States secret s9>- vice. Means became connected with a detective agency. At the Manhattan hotel he sent for reporters an: charged Charles M. Schwab with vio- lating neutrality laws through mak- ing submarines for: England. This he announced he did as a representa- tive of a peace society. Not until the Concord tragedy was it known generally that Means had any business relations with Mrs. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 6.—A dis-| King. patch from Lugano, Switzerland, to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin, says it has been learned from a clerical source that the report that Pope Benedict is preparing a second peace note, is rrect.

Although all. distelleries in the United States will close at 11 o’clock Saturday night, in compliance with Government orders fo servation of grain used in\the facture of whisky, distillers) lers’ agents and wholesalers sa day that the amount of whisky) on hand in the country will supply a normal demand for 18 onths to! two years. . The only operating distiNery in St. Louis is that of the Jack Daniels’ Distilling Co., 3960 Duncan avenue. The last mash, consuming 400 bush- els of corn, was prepared at this plant yesterday and the tubs will be emptied in time to comply with Government orders. T. A. Heffernan, president of the company, pointed out that the loss in revenue to'the Government by the cessation of his firm’s operation would amount to $1056 daily when operating at normal capacity of 20 barrels or 940 gallons daily. Since the order closing ‘the distilleries was issued the plant has been recess at double capacity. Prices for whisky tothe vous and the consumer are certain to ad- vance materially because of the dis- continuation of the » manufacture. Heffernan. explained that, with the addition. of the proposed Govern- ment war tax of $2.20 a gallon, or $103.40 a barrel, whisky will cost the retailer $4.45 a gallon without taking into consideration the. raise in the net price that is. certain to, be charged by the wholesaler. He predicted that whisky ow being sold over the bar at 15 Cents a drink or $6 a gallon, bringing a profit of $3.75 a gallon to the saloon man, soon would bring from $15 to $18 a gallon. The probable advance in wholesale prices qn distilled goods, according to Heffernan’s est!- mate, will be from 200 to 300 per cent. While the Government will lose the initial tax of $1.10 on whisky be- cause of the closing of distilleries, it will realize an additional $2:20 on all liquor now in stock excep 50 gal- lons allowed every holder. The loss to the. Jack Daniel com- pany will consist of only the tempo- rary idleness of the .plant, said by Heffernan to represent an investmen' of $150.000. It is the company’s in- tention to begin the manufacture of alcohol, although no Government contracts have been obtained yet. - A distiller’s agent said that he an- ticipated little difficulty in supplying his trade because of the closing of the distilleries. “The effect of the closing of distilleries,” he said, “has been largely discounted, both by the distillers themselves and the whole- salers. The distilleries have been producing at full capacity for the last month and their product has been purchased by rectifiers and wholesal- ers.” Library to Remove Seditious Books, CLINTON, Io., Sept. 6.—All books and _ publications of a seditious or disloyal character were ordered .re- moved from.the public library here i?

Unemployment will be practically unknown in St. Louis the coming winter if present conditions continue and the cares and worries of indus- _trial and business life will fadl, not on,.wage workers without jobs, but on employers without help. The demand for both skilled la- bor and commercial help is already active beyond precedent. This is attributed by employers and-by thoge in charge of employment agencies ty the demands of war manufacture and to the drafting and enlistment of many workers naval service. Those already employed have many opportunities to get better posttions and the result is a con- stant void in the lower ranks of em- ployment. The ratio of “help want- ed”’ advertisements in daily papers to those of. “situations wanted” is five to one or more, and the “‘sit- uation” ads usually appear but once. ‘Thé ciasses' of help most in de- mand are clerks, machine operators, laborers and domestic workers. Clerks Are in Demand. The manager of a large ‘depart- ment store said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he had never seen so great a demand for workers as: at present. He said he had not turned away an applicant for a sales posi- tion in more than a year and that he could use 500 more employes ii he could get them. He said his concern was trying to get wives and other relatives of soldiers to accept places and was having some success in ‘this. Joseph J. Farrell, Assistant Labor Commissioner, said the railroads had standing orders for thousands of men and that there is a similar de- mand from mines, foundries’ and othér industrial plants. Laborers’ wages are about $3 a day, where they were $2 to $2.25 a year ago. W. R. King, In charge of the Fed- eral Employment Bureau, said work- ers could be obtained, but only at a rate which seems high, judged by past standards, but which ‘is justified by the present cost of living. It fa useless to offer less than -30 cents an hour, he said. Of 2634 anpplica- tions for workers.in August, the bu- reau was able to supply only 2152. Mrs. Sarah Spraggon, superintend- ent of the -women’s department of the St. Louis Free Employment Bu- reau, said domestic help was almost unobtainable. She said domestics have complained to her that, becausc of the high price of food, their ra- tions have been lessened, and that they have had to go without meat and butter. She said a local factory recently called for 300 inexperiencea women to work on rubber goods, and that she was able to find only 35 who would try the work. — The Y. W. C.

Winslow accompanied one special train.to Holland, and I must say that I sympathized with him when I learned of what he had to do in the way of chasing lost hand-baggage and finding milk for crying babies. These special trains were started from the Charlottenburg station, in a quiet the Americans. The Carlsbad train went through very successfu part of Berlin, so that no crowd was attracted by the departure of lly, taking the Amer- jcans who had been shut up in Carlsbad since the commencement of the war. Meeting of Sympathy for Americans. , One of the curious developments of this time was a meeting of sympa- thy for Americans stranded on Aug. 11.

In his the Over-Burgomaster said: German empire to co-operate with us to this end. Prof. von Harnack is one of the ablest of the German professors. He is head of the ‘Royal Library in Ber- lin. In his speech he gave expression ‘he feeling that was prevalent .in the first days of the war, that Ger- many was defending itself against a Russian invasion which threatened to blot out the German Kultur. He said, after referring to Western civil- tization: “But in the face of this civilization there arises now before my eyes an- other civilization, the civilization of the tribe, with its patriarchal organi- gation, the civilization of the horde that is gathered and kept together by despots—the Mongolian Musco- vite civilization. This civilization could not endure the light of the eighteenth century, still less the light of the nineteenth century, and now in the twentieth century it breaks loose and threatens us. This unorganized Asiatic mass, Tike the desert with its sands, wants to gather up our fields of gratfn.”’ ; Waiting t) Be Taken Home. . Nothing was done for the Ameri- cans stranded in Germany by the Germans with the exception of the arrangements for the payment of funds by the Dresdner Bank on the letters of credit and the dlspatching of special trains by the Railroad De- partment of the German: Govern- ment. As a matter of fact, nothing more could have been required of the Germans, as it was naturally the duty of the American Government to take care of its citizens stranded abroad. Almost the instant that war was declared, I cabled to our Government suggesting that a ship should be sent over with gold, because, of course, with gold, no matter what the coun- try. necessaries can always be bought. Rumors of the dispatch of the Tennessee and of other ships from Amertca reached Berlin, and a : ent number of the more ignorant m A °, x 2 - ~—¥ » tes ree “et oe a — % éricans got to believe that these ships were being sent over to take Americans home. One morning an American woman spokejto me and said she would con- gent to go home on one of these ships provided she was given a stateroom with a bath and Walker-Gordon milk for her children, while another wom- an of -German extraction used to sit for hours in the corner of the ball-. room, occasionally exclaiming aloud with much feeling, “My God, wili them ships never come?” Quickening Circular to American Consuls. In these first days of the war we also made a card index of all the Americans in. Berlin and, so far as possible, in Germany, in order to weed out those who had received the passport in the first days.when pos- sibly some people not entitled to them received them, and +o find the deserving cases. All Americans were required to present themselves at the embassy and answer a few questions, after which, if everything seemed all right, their passports were marked, “Recommended for transportation to America.” I sent out circulars from time to time to the ‘Consuls through»:1t Ger- many, giving general instructions with regard to the treatment of Americans. The following circular sent out on Aug. 12 is a sample: Germany Juggies U. S. Passports. AMERICAN EMBASSY, Berlin, Aug. 12, i914. To the Consular Representatives of the United States in Ger- many, and for the general in- formation of American citi- zens: A communication will tomor- row be published in the serlin Lokal Anzeiger regarding the sending of a special train to the Dutch. frontier for the special conveyance of Americans. Oth- er trains will proba” '"y be ar- ranged for from time to time. No further news has been re- ceived regarding the sending of transports from the United States, but applications for répa- triation are being considered by the embassy and the various consular officers throughout Germany, according to the cm- bassy’s last circular and the an- nouncements' published in the Lokal Anzeiger. All. Americans leaving Berlin must have their passports stamped by the Foreign Office, for which purpose they should | should take in this regard. Letters for the United States may be sent to the embassy and will be forwarded at the first op- portunity. German subjects who desire to communicate with friends in England, Russia, France or Bel- gium, or who desire to send money, should make their re- quests to the Imperial Foreign Office. Americans are permitted to enter Italy. The steamers of the Italian lines are running at present, but are full for some time in advance. The embassy is also informed that the ‘steamer from Vlissingen, HEolland, runs daily at 1l a. m. The Ambassa- dor cannot, however, recom- mend Americans to try to reach Holland by the ordinary sched- ule trains, as he has received re- ports of delays en route, owing to the fact that all civil travelers are elected from trains when troops require accommodations. It is better to wait for special trains arranged for by the ¢em- bassy. The Dresdener Bank and its branches throughout Gernuany will cash for Americans only letters of credit and checks is- sued by good American »anks in limited amounts: Included in this category are the checks of the Bankers’ Association, Bunk- ers’ Trust Co., Internationab Mer- cantile Marine Co. and American Express Co. All checks and let- ters of credit must, however, be stamped by American Consuls, and Consuls must see that the consular stamp is affixed to those cheeks and letters of credit only as the bona fide property of American citizens. The Com- merz and Disconto Bank makes the same offer and the Deutsche Bank will cash checks afd let- ters of credit by its correspond- ents. American consular officers may also draw later on the Dresdener Bank for their sal- aries and the official expenses of their consulates. Before drawing such funds from the bank, however, all consular officers should submit their expense ac- counts to me for approval. These expense accounts should be transmitted to the embassy at: the earliest opportunity. a. ' THE AMBASSADOR. It will be noticed from the above circular that all Americans were required to have their passports stamped at the Foreign Office. One American did not receive back his passport. although he had left ir at the Foreign Office. The Foreign Office claimed that it had delivere-] the passport to someone from the embassy, but we were not very much surprised when this identical pass- port turned up later in the. posses- sion of Lodi, the confessed German spy, who was shot in the Tower of London. After a time the American Govr- ernment cabled me to advance money to destitute Americans, and the la- dies in the’ ballroom with their as Sistants attended to this branch, ad- vancing money where needed or so much as a person needed to make ur, the balance of passage on steerage ticket from Holland to the United States. At the same time we gradu- ally built up a banking system. Those in the United States who had friends or relatives in Germany sent them money.by giving the money to ovr State Department, and the State De- partnrent in turn cabled me to make & payment and this payment was made by my drawing a draft for th- amount stated on the State Depart- ment, the recipient selling his draft at a fixed rate to the Deutsche Bank in Berlin. This business assumed great proportions, and after the Americans who were in a hurry to go home had disappearea the ones re- maining were k+=pt in fusds by ther friends and relatives through this sort of bank under our management. Gold Comes for Repatriating Americans. On Aug. 23 Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge, who had come from America on the warship Ten- nessce, bringing gold with him and a certain number of army officers, arrived in Berlin and took over our relief organization in so far ‘as it applied to the repatriation of Ameri- icans, housing it in rooms hired {n a nearby hotel, the Kaiserof. This commission was composed of Ma- jors. J. A. Ryan, J. H. Ford and G. of Flying at Belleville Camp | lance. — MAJOR GEORGE E, A. REINBURG, W. Martin and Captairs Miller and Fenton, but the Relief Committee and the banking office wre stil! continued in the embassy ballroom A bulietin was published under the auspices of the American Ass >- ciation of Commerce and Trade, and the advice therein given was -that all Americans having the means to leave should do so when the oppor- tunity for leaving »y special trains was presented, and to proceed direct to London, whence they might: ob- tain transportation to the United States. All Americans without means were directed to anply to the Relief + Commission, which was authorizei:l to pay for the transportation and subsistence of stranded Americans in order to enable them to return home. The enormous quantity of baggage left behind by Americans ’'in Ger- many was a problem requiring solu- tion. . In spite of repeated advice to leave, many Americans insisted on remaining in Germany. Few of them were business people: there were many songbirds, piano players ane students. We had much trouble with these belated Americans. For example, one woman and her daught ter refused to leave when advised. but stayed on and ran up bills for over 10,000 marks, and as arrest for debt exists in Germany. they could not leave when they finally decided to go. All of us in the om- bassy had to subscribe the money necessary to pay their most press- ing debts, and they finally left the country, leaving an added prejudice against Americans. 7 (To Be Continued tn the Post Dispatch Tomorrow.)

They have just about finished zet- ting Scott Field, a half dozen miles northeast. of Belleville, ready for the Government’s use as an aviation training camp. Both. sides of the mile-long Toad that runs through the camp are lined with new white wooden offices, dormitories, repair shops and hangars. The ground has been nicely leveled, and nothing seems to be lacking except a sign over the gateway saying ‘‘Welcome, Everybody.” And there isn’t going to be any such sign. Not that the spirit of hos- ‘pitality is wanting. Maj. George E. A. Reinburg, commander of Scott Field, is an exceptionally pleasant person to meet, and can tell most interestingly of the aviation service with Gen. Pershing in Northern Mexico, where the natives never had heard of airplanes before, and ran into their houses when they first saw them. But the training at Scott: Field, which will be in full progress within a week, is to be intensive training; and intensiveness and _ sociability don’t go well together in war time. You Can Look, That’s All. So the St. Lonis and East Side motorists who go out the Shiloh road in the coming fall days will have to be content with seeing the airplanes in the air. No one will ob- ject to their viewing the flyers, and if any motorist, trying to watch a half-dozen airmen at once, runs his car into one of the big army trucks that carry supplies from Belleville, ‘the enlisted men will help him pick up the pieces. But he, or even she, may not go inside and meet the can- didates for Lieutenants’ commissions in the aviation corps. Even business men who have deal- ings with the camp will have to transact the business, in most cases, by correspondence or by telephone. The orders of the sentry at the en- trance are now getting stricter every day, and they were pretty strict at first; and passes are becoming a curi- osity. . Thirty-four cadets of the 150 who are to be on hand within the next week to begin training are now at the camp, and the 300 enlisted men of the Eleventh and Twenty-first Squadrons also are housed in .the dormitories. Machines Due This Week. Delivery of the first airplanes is expected before the end of this week, and Maj. Reinburg intends to make the first flight himself. Maj. S. H. Wheeler is the officer in charge of } flying, and the training of the young aviators will be directly under his supervision, while Maj. Reinburg will have general administrative charge of the camp. ° The machines, priced at $8000 each, are made in two of the air- plane plants taken over by the Gov- ernment, the Curtiss plant in Buffalo and the Standard of Plainfield, N. J. There are to be 72 machinesy three at either end of each of thee12 long hangars, which open upon the level flying fleld. They are dual control machines, with the instructor’s seat in front and the student’s seat in the Tear. Before the first ascent, the student has to learn his instructor's signals, for there is no such thing as vocal conversation with the propellor mak- ing anywhere up to 100 miles an hour, which is the speed of the new machines. Instructor Always Ready. After the ascent from the ground, the instructor lets the student make his first cautious attempts at guid- ing the machine, but the instructor can resume control instantly if a dangerous “air pocket” or any other unexpected condition is encountered. The instructor gets his hands on the wheel again before the descent is at- tempted. It is éxpected that, after 6 hours’ instruction, the student will be able to make a “solo flight,” the word solo meaning the same here that it does in musical performances, ex- cept that a solo tenor is usually ac- companied and a solo aviator is not. In aviation, as in ice skating, the next thing after one learns to r 48) Straight ahead is to learn to make a figure 8. First a big one, then a smaller one. Another thing the be. ginner: must soon learn is to stop his engine at a height of 3000 feat and land within a white-washed cir- cle of 150 feet radius. Spiral flyine with a dead motor and right and left turning are other accomplishments to be taught in the air above and near Scott Field. While most of the flying will be within sight of the buildings, there will be triangular flights of 90 miles. 80 miles to a leg. It is not unlike that St. Louis will see some of 2 flyers over the East Side land south of the Free Bridge, if.not over the Mississippi itself. What the Men Must Learn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Senate consideration of the income tax sec- tion in- the war revenue bill began today, following yesterday’s rout of the forces advocating higher levies on the war excess profits. All of their proposals were beaten, the Sen- ate voting, 72 to 7, ‘to retain the Finance Committee’s compromise provisions for a total levy of $1,286,- 000,000, an increase of $1,060,000,000 over the present taxes. The action virtually ends the fight over war profits taxation, although it is subject to review when the Dill comes up for passage. So far, how- that the contest would be renewed Final. Vote Tomorrow. Debate on the income tax section opened today under an agreement for as rewritten by the committee, is designed to raise $850,000,000 from incomes, $360,000,000 from corpora- High-tax Senators prepared a de- termined fight for further taxation of incomes. Senators La Follette and Holis have amendments to raise the individual levy to approximately $650,000,000 and $557,000,000 re- spectively. Defeat of all such pro- posals is expected by the leaders war profits taxations. The seven who voted yesterday against the Finance Committee’s draft were Bankhead, Borah, Gron- na, Johnson of California, LaFollette, Underwood and Vardeman. As now written into the Dbfll, the war profits section strikes out the House provision for an additional tax of $200,000,000 and is a substi- tute for the present excess profits law, yielding $226,000,000. It also extends the tax to ordinary, normal peace profits in excess of 10 per cent, in addition to excessive war profits reached by graduated rates, amount- ing to surtaxes, ranging from 12 to 60 per cent. The excess is based upon the net income above $5000 of cor- porations, partnerships and individ- uals in trade or business over the average of 1911, 1912 and 1913—the pre-war standard—with a minimum exemption of 6 per cent of actual in- vested capital and a maximum ex- emption of 10 per cent. Rates and Estimated Revenue. The graduated rates and their es- timated revenue yield follow: Twelve per cent on excess profits up to 15 per cent, $100,080,000. Sixteen per cent on between 16 and 25 per cent, $46,080,000. Twenty per cent between 25 and 50 per cent, $109,000,000. Twenty-five per cent between 5) and 75 per cent, $101,000,000.

MOTHER AND CHILD PLUNGE SIX STORIES FROM A ROOF Girl in Conscious Moment in New York Hospital Says Parent Pushed Her, Then Leaped. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-—-A tenant in a six-story flat at 334 East Nine- ty-sixth street saw a woman and 4 girl, strangers in the place, going up the stairs there yesterday afternoon. A few minutes later the janitress found the woman and child lying in the yard of a schoo! adjoining. They had dropped from the roof of the apartment. A search of the woman's hand bag at a hospite!l revealed papers show- ing she was Mrs, Mary Hawrer, wife of a drug clerk, and that the child was her daughter, Margaret, 10 years old. The girl, in a brief moment of Ronsciousness, said: “Mamma took me up on the roof and threw me off. She jumped.” Mrs. Hawger died at 5 o'clock. There is little hope for the girl's re- covery.

“ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1917. _ a ee ee ee DECLARES TRIAL I PROOF GERMANY DIDNT START WAR Michaelis Cites Made by Russian General Answering Treason Charge. ENGLAND IS IN THE DARK/& No Reports Containing Testi- mony Referred to by Chan- cellor Have Reached London. LONDON, Sept. 6.—No _ reports which have reached London from Russia of the Soukhomlinoff trial, either press or official, contain any ‘revelations or testimony calculated to throw light upon the beginnings of the war. Chancellor Michaelis’ in- terview (contained in an Amsterdam dispatch published in late editions of the Post-Dispatch yesterday) is an enigma both to the officials and the newspapers here. The Russian newspapers reach Germany quickly and may have con- tained matter not reported abroad, but thus far the German Chancellor is discussing the war from premises entirely unknown here. In his interview Chancellor Mi- chaelis said: “The eickeonsate of the former Russian War Minister and the former chief of the general staff (Gen. Jan- uschkevitch) are of the greatest im- portance. They are calculated com- pletely to destroy the legend of Ger- many’s guilt in starting the war and they will fo-ce Eurvpean opinion, 1% the reports are allowed to be pub- lished, to revise its judgment on Ger- many. “The moment which these disclos- ures were made is the more favor- able, as we have just had knowl- edge of the American reply to the Pope’s note urging peace. In Sec- retary Lansing’s answer the Ger- man Government is described as an irresponsible Government which se- cretly planned to dominate the world. which chose its own time for the war and cruelly and suddenly exe- cuted its plan; which did not heed le- gal barriers or truthfulness, which flooded a great continent with blood, not only of soldiers but of in- nocent women and children, the help- leas and the poor. “When adopting these accusations from the entente factory of calum- nies the American Government ob- viously had ro knowledge of the course of the proceedings against Gen. Soukhomlinoff. Otherwise its judgment would certainly have been quite different. “It certainly is now established ir- refutalby that it was not Germany that chose the time for the war, but the military party surrounding the Czar, who was under the influence of France ani England. It is well known that the German Emperor, who opposed the war clearly and or. every occasion, expressed his own de- sire and that of the German people for peace, especially regarding Rus- sia, was surprised by the events which occurred during his pleasure trip in Scandinavian waters. Up to the last moment, in the exchange uf telegrams with the Emperor of Rus- sia and the King of England, he made the most earnest and fervert attempts in the interests of peace. “The importance of the new dis- ‘closures is that the Czar, who had to decide as to war or peace, in fact came to the conviction, from the German Emperor's efforts, that Ger- many did not desire war. The con- sequence of this conviction was his positive order to cancel the Russian mobilization, but a couple of crim- inals disregarded the order and thwarted its execution. “A consequence of the Emperor's efforts also was the Czar’s order to Gen. Januschkevitch to give the German Ambassador, Count von Pourtales, assurance of Russia’s de- sire for peace. “Who was behind these men?” continued the Chancellor. “They certainly did not of their own ac- cord plan to drive the whole world into war. “The.execution of this order was frustrated by M. Sazonoff, then Rus- - glan Foreign Minister,” continued the Chancellor. “Who was behind these men? They certainly did not of their own accord plan to drive the whole world into war. “I need not remind you of the relations between Gen Soukhomli- noff and M. Poincare and his asso- clates. It is well known that the election of M. Poincare to the presi- dency was a sign of an aggressive Franco-Russian alliance against Ger- many and that Gen. Soukhomlinoff ‘was ordered to Paris to play. the presidency of the French republic into M. Poincare’s hands. At that time in Paris’ Gen. Soukholminoff made a statement about the Russian army and the aiterations of Russian plans for mobilization, while short- ly before the war he provokingly repeated well known articles in the Bourse Gazette (Petrograd) about a Russia's preparedness. A long time previously aggressive plans against Germany were prepared by an in- fivential political group in France, England and Russia. “Regarding English influence, at during the critical days, July 29 and 30 (1914), I. only need to refer to a telegram of the Reuter correspondent at Petrograd and to the well known report of the Bel- gian Charge d’Affaires—De L’Esca- fille, which clearly show that the cer- tainty of English support strength- ened the determination for war of the leading men of Russia.” “A to Betray Germany.” “While Russia thus prepared an : ® # = * == ® aa e = = « Py P = * = a % = = bal a = # = & == 2 = & — | = e ss a 5 SS . word of honor of Gen. Januschke- vitch was telegraphed, that until July 29, in the afternoon, no order of any kind for mobilization would be giv- en. Gen. Januschkevitch declared to the German military attache that the reassuring statements of Gen. vas ee: 2 of July 27 regarding he eventual Russian intentions as to sachiiitataes were still good.

IS IT ABSOLUTELY SAFE TO USE? By all means—Yes. You may use Canute Water for-Gray Hair with- out the slightest fear-of injury to the | hair, se or eyes, as it contains none of the injurious elements of the ordi- nary hair dye. Being entirely FREE from acid, sugar of lead, sulphur, or coal tar products of any kind—mak- ing it as harmless to the hair and scalp as ordinary water. It is for ex- ternal use only. WILL IT SOIL THE HANDS OR SCALP?# No it will not. Our own tented process prewents it from Staining the hands or scalp. Canute Water for Gray Hair is an especially clean, conventent treatment—not be- ing sticky or greasy. It restores so naturally and evenly no one will be able to tell you are using anything. IS ITA DYE? Positively not. That ' just the thing it isn’t. Canute ater is a simple and natural method of reviving the youthful color of hair that has turned gray from age, illness er other causes. Proof that Canute Water is not a dye is that it has no numbered shades—the same bottle is good for all shades of hair. While as the reader knows dyes are numbered 1, 2 or 3. HOW IS IT APPLIED? Very easily. Just wet your hair with it and allow to dry in good, fresh air. Nothing hard about that, is there? Apply on hair once daily and day by day observe the hair becoming darker and darker. And by the time you have finished the first bottle the youthful color of your hair will be restored. It will then remain that way and simply require a retouching once every week or two as the hair grows. CAN THE DARKENED COLOR WASH OR RUB OFF? The color will not wash off. Shampoo the hair all you like—you may even use a hot curling iron, as not even that will af- fect the color. On the contrary, the more you shampoo the hair the softer and fluffier the hair will become. Remember, it will only be necessary to use Canute Water for Gray Hair afterwards once every week or two on the new hair that grows. NOTE: You are absolutely safe in trying a bottle, as after having been tried and proven successful by hun- dreds of their customers leading stores are recommending ‘‘Canute Water for Gray Hair’’ to those who wish the color of their hair restored. Believe us after a week you'll thank yourself for having tried it. Sold for $1 at such reliable dealers as Famous & Barr Co., Wolff-Wilson Drug Store, Judge & Dolph 4 Drug Stores.—AD- VE RTISEMENT. IKAISER’S ALLEGED PLAN TO DENMARK REVEALED INVADE Emperor’s Telegram to Scheme to Safeguard Dane’s Interests by Russian-German Occupation. Czar Said to Tell of NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—The New York Herald today prints a second interesting article from Herman Bernstein, the noted Jewish writer, at Stockholm, purporting to give some of the correspondence between Emperor William of Germany and Emperor Nicholas of Russia in 1905. Today’s article follows in full: BY HERMAN BERNSTEIN. (Copyright, 1917, by the New York Herald Co. All rights reserved.) STOCKHOLM, via Paris, Sept. 5. —Telegrams which passed between Czar Nicholas of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm in 1905 reveal that, after a meeting of the Emperors of Bjoerke, the Kaiser in agreement with Nich- olas undertook the realization of his scheme to declare the Baltic Sea closed. But encountering resistance from Denmark, and because of the threatening attitude of England, the Kaiser decided in 1905, in the event of war with England, to do to Den- mark what he did later to Belgium. He resolved to occupy neutral Den- mark with his armies to gain ad- vantages which Denmark had _ re- fused by declining to join the secret Russo-German combination. The Kaiser telegraphed about the plot tu Czar Nicholas, who consented to the violation of Denmark. On July 29, 1905, the Kaiser sent this telegram to the Czar: Reuter telegrams this morning announced cruise of British channel fleet to Baltic and looking in at our ports without paying calls of cere- mony. Wither England is anxious on account of our meeting or they want to frighten me. This will lena more weight to my conversation at Copenhagen.

The road started somewhere, but never got there, and its owners now see only one ray of hope. The value of street railway equipment has been so greatly increased by the war that the rails, poles and wire along the 20-mile right-of-way are worth much more than when they were new. If these can be sold for junk something may be saved for the bondho!ders who have a claim of more than $600,000 against the road. SOLDIERS AT NEVADA CAMP STUDY FRENCH ——— Two Privates Who Were Born in France Are Instructing Officers. NEVADA, Mo., Sept. 5.—Officers and enlisted men of the Fifth Mis- |. souri Infantry, who served on the Mexican border last summer with the First and other national guard organizations, have been compelled by an order from the War Depart- ment, to take the paratyphoid in- oculation. They were inoculated a year ago with the anti-typhoid se- rum. The second issue of blankets to members of the Fifth was com- pleted by Capt. McGaughey of the supply company yesterday. Every enlisted man in the regiment now has two heavy woolen blankets. French Classes Established. French classes for the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Fifth will be started today. Lieut. Allen of L company and Privates Bourdet and Mettinet of the machine Sun company are detailed as in- structors. Allen has traveled ex- tensively in France, while Bourdet and Mettinet are native-born WEALTHY LIQUOR DEALER INDICTED ON THEFT CHARGE Henry Albrecht of East St. Louis Accused of Part in Freight Car Robbery. Indictments charging 14 East St. Louis men and three St. Louisans with breaking into and robbing freight cars in interstate transit have been returned by the Federal grand jury at Danville, [l. Among the East St. Louisans indicted are Henry Albrecht, wealthy president of H. Albrecht & Co., wholesale liquor dealers, and David and Michael Bros. Grocery Co., 500 St. Louis ave- nue. The charge against the Sussmans is that they, with Julius B. Seifer*, proprietor of an East St. Louls ga- rage, Gilbert Falls, a railroad watch- man, and three St. Louis gangsters— Max Greenberg, Ben Miller and Ed- ward Powers—broke into a freight car and stole $2500 worth of cigsa- rettes. The cigarettes were found ia Sussman’s grocery store by detect- ives and Federal agents. The suss- mans, according to information given out by the East St. Louis in- vestigators, are said to have report- ed that they got the cigarettes from Seifert’s garage. The charge against Albrecht is that he and Greenburg, Miller, Pow- ers and “Dutch” Hempling broke into a freight car and stole $1500 worth of cigarettes. These cigarettes were found in Albrecht’s saloon, accord- ing to evidence laid before the Fed- eral authorities, and got there through the Seifert garage channel. A third indictment charges James Kelly, Dan Quam, Charles Hursey, a former East St. Louis policeman; Willard Husband, Elmer Piper, Wil- liam Piper and Tames Piper with having stolen $175 from a freight car. The Sussmans and Albrecht were taken to Danville yesterday and re- leased on bonds of $5600 each. Near- ly all of the other men have been under arrest for several weeks, pending the action of the grand jury.

J. & P. unprofitable from the start. For a long time it has been only “two streaks of rust,” starting at Alton and running through ravines and over creeks and gullies to a point near Jerseyville. Kept Out of Jerseyville. It was never permitted to enter Jerseyville, though it was originally financed by two men of that town, A. O. Auten and A. W. Cross, a bank- er. The active promoter was Edgar M. Davis, of St. Louis, a son-in-law of Cross. The unprofitable operation of the road is said to have impover- ished the Auten and Cross estates. which had a combined value of more than $800,000. Jerseyville, which is without a street car line, never would permit the road to build into the town, fear- ing that trade would be taken away from the home merchants and di- verted to Alton and St. Louis. The road has passed through two receiverships. At one time it was owned by a company headed by J. C. Van Riper, president of the Amer- ican Trust Co. of St. Louis. Its pres- ent owner is a syndicate organized by J. J. Cummins of Chicago. The road is now asking the Illinois Utilities Board to permit it to cease operating. Several weeks ago it sold and shipped away four of its cars, leaving only one in operation. It wants to withdraw this one, but Al- ton will not let it. The Board of Trade there recently obtained an order from the Utilities Board to force the company to operate its lone car, though few passengers ride on ?t. Though Jerseyville spurned a trol- ley line from Alton, a different feel- ing exists in Edwardsville. Promot- ers there are asking for a franchise for a line from Alton to Edwardsville and are ready to buy the A.

A War Department order received by Gen. Clark today places the of- ficer’s horse in the discard. It pro- vides that in the future the Govern- ment will neither transport nor feed horses belonging to “mounted” bat- talion and regimental commanders and their staffs and brigade com- manders and their staffs. If an offi- cer desires to keep a horse he must make arrangements to do so without expense or inconvenience to the Gov- ernment. Under the new formation of the army, the order says, horses are not only not needed, but come under the classification-of nuisances. There are many fine horses- in the Missouri force, particularly those which were brought here by the officers of the First and Fifth Regiments from St. Louis, among which are the valuable animals given to the First by August Busch at the time of the border mo- bilization last year. The order, of course, does not ap- ply to wagon train horses and pack mules and it is presumed it will not affect officers above brigade officers, SOLDIERS’ BUYING PROTESTED WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The effi- clency System is to be extended by the War Department to the point where even the personal expenditures of the men in the army will be protected. By a general order published today an officer of the Quartermaster Depart- ment will be assigned to every di- vision to supervise the exchanges that are conducted for the conven- lence of soldiers wishing to make emall purchases. The profit of the exchanges will go to the men, and it will be the duty of the supervising officers to prevent unjust charging and maladministra- tion.

Why should she be placed at a disadvantage in nu- merous ways by wearing wrinkles, if she cah avoid these hateful Marks of ad- vancing age? Few women, however, know what to do to effectually rid themselves of wrinkles or sacginess. Most of the advertised preparations are unsatisfactory and very expensive. But @ very simple and harmiess home rem- edy, which any woman can make, will work wonders where all the patent prep- erations fail. Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite at any drug store.

Total. $3413.81 “Truth,” the nitieeutens photoplay which will be presented at the Vic- toria Theater nine times in the week of Sept. 10, has‘ the unique distinc- tion of being a motion picture for which the pictures were made before its scenario was written. The pro- ducers of the photoplay conceived in a general way the idea a plot in which a boy should be conducted by a fairy through various lands of good and evil, and in the end be left to make his own choice between the two for his own life, representing him as choosing the good. This much decided upon, the work of photo- graphing the scenes was undertaken, with the assistance of several hun- dred members of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice League. These scenes have been made and developed and the producers, th His- torical-Industrial Motion Picture Co., are now at work on the details of a scenario to fit the scenes’ together into a connected story. The work required of the children in making the scenes was not ex- ceedingly difficult, and this fact, coupled with the assistance which their experience as entertainers was to them, combined to make the scenes show up splendidly in the films. Outstanding are the beautiful costumes worn by many of the per- formers and the splendid dancing in some of the scenes. The photoplay promises to be a pretty production well worth seeing by anyone. In ad- dition to the photoplay, performance will be given, with a change of program for each presen- tation of the picture. Three child dancers took part in their eighth entertainment this sum- mer for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund at a vaudeville show given this week on the rear lawn at 4342 Penrose street. They ere Queenie, Ella and Ruth Robbins of 4373 Penrose street. The show this week was given by 20 children who have worked for the Milk and Ice Fund in two pre- vious years. In three years there has not been a single change in the personnel of their company. All three of their annual entertainments have been directed by Mrs. Sam Robbins; mother of the three Rob- bins children. The children, who gave an excellent performance to a large crowd and earned $10 to aid the babies, are Genevieve, William, Edward and Lester Holzhausen, at whose home the show was given; the three Robbins children, Cather ine and Lorraine Bottger, Frieda and Karl Hoffman, Roy Winkler, Bere- nice Poertner, Arby and Ashford toertner, Willie and Sadie Maloney, Karl Hofmann, George Vogeding and Margaret Mathie. All live in the same neighborhood and say they in- tend to give a fourth show for the Milk and Ice Fund next year. A lemonade stand on Bitner street, between Church road and Frederick Street, and an entertainment given at 709 Bitner street, yielded $2.11 for the Milk and Ice Fund. The work- ers were six girls, Elsie Ollinger, Berenice Hogain, Edith Prager, Ma- rie Silott, Gladys Hogain and Sable Seder. La Salle Friday Bargain.

AP Every now and then you pick up the paper and read of some terrible accident on ¢levators. Now I wish to state from ‘my past experience, which is about 15 yéars, as an operator, that most all the accidents are due to the carelessness of the sufferer. A woman will go downtown shopping and walk into one of our stores and meet a Mrs. Smith or a Mrs. Jones and stand rightin front of an elevator and talk. After she has talked a while she realizes that it is getting late and will say, “Oh, I must go upstairs.” At that minute she will turn’ dtound, still looking back of her at Mrs. Smith to see how she is dressed, and is stopped by running into an elevator gate. She will say, “Oh, I thought the ¢€ar was there!” *" I have seen cases where, after I have stopped my car at a floor, called out what was on that floor and started down, some woman would rush by me, trying to get out. If I had not grabbed her she would have walked off the car and then it is the operator's fault! iThere' are women who always turn their backs to the front of a car and they seem to think as long as their feet are in they are safe. But when a car is coming down often a woman’s skirt will blow out and will catch on the top of a gate or some- ‘thing. There are women with children, little tots that do not know of danger, who get into an elevator and meet someone they know and forget all about their children. These little ones often slip through the crowd to get out and first thing you know someone has to drag the little-one to safe- ty. My position now is starter in one of our first-class stores. These women will come to me and say “Oh, Mr. Starter, why that elevator boy nearly killed my baby, I will report this at once!” ' I hope such careless people will read this and when they are downtown won't forget about them. AN ELEVATOR STARTER. , A Courtesy Title. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In an article on the first page of the Post- Dispatch of Aug. 19, occurred this sentence, “The Most Rev. Mgr. John Bonzano, Apos- tolic Delegate from the Vatican to the Tnited States.” You, of course, are aware that there is no such personage as a dele- @ate, apostolic or otherwise, from any for- ‘eign church to the United States, and that to claim it would be a false and unwarrant- ed-assumption. However, there may be a delegate from a foreign church to a church ete and we trust that, for the sake of ac- autacy, you will accept and make this cor- Tection. ULSTER SCOT. oa Jobs and “Old” Men. JPo' the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ™ W. C. D. certainly struck the keynote of ~conditions in her letter of Sept. 2. I also ‘am a bookkeeper, age 50, and have spent ‘25’ years in that work, a large part of ‘which time was employed in straightening ,out books and records which had been ‘“balled” up by young, inexperienced and in- competent help. Through no fault of mine ‘I am still compelled to work for my daily _pread—if I have any—but after some time ‘spent in seeking a position of this nature -I NAve come to the conclusion my hair, “whieh is sprinkled with gray, is not the ‘proper color for anything but a laborer’s .

And when Thanksgiving day comes we @hall also thank the Lord that the Texas girls a”* not shaped like those in the fall pfashio& yictures, | vent it from taking the devoted, patriotic stand which intelligent American labor ought to take is furnished in the statement published as the declaration of principles of the Minneapolis meeting: Democracy will not be served by the victory of autocracy, by letting the Dec- laration of Independence be supplanted by the Kaiser’s fiat. Militarism cal not be Shecked by sur- render to the power which has organized all the resources of civilization to the end of imposing its brutal iron rule on the world. s Peace will not be secured to the worid through the subjugation of the free and democratic nations. We shall be as loyal to the struggle for freedom and democracy at home as to the struggle for freedom and democracy in international relations. There were few copperheads among the work- ingmen during the Civil War. Copperheads were confined largely to political irreconcilables and sophists who split hairs over the limits of local and general jurisdictions. Is the free worker of today less able to grasp the danger to himself from the perpetuation and extension of autocracy and its despotic social and industrial system than the free worker then was to grasp the danger from the perpetuation or extension of the principle of involuntary, unpaid labor? Can the patriotic labor of the United States visualize the position of distrust and suspicion and even odium it will occupy after the war if it permits a small minority of ill-disposed ad- herents to class it as a whole with disloyalists who oppose the war or even with those who are indifferent to the duty imposed on the citizen by the war needs of his Government? Mr. Gompers said at Minneapolis that the workingman who lacks loyalty to his country is on a par with the man who is a scab to his trade, and Mr. Gompers is right. he hi hi OUR JAPANESE COMRADES. Distrust of Japan survives in this country, despite the efforts of representative American and Japanese statesmen for full understandings and amicable relations of permanency. The pos- sibility of oversea trouble to the west in the future is still often spoken of, notwithstanding that peace by international agreement is to rule in the world unless the present war fails in one of its chief purposes. Such speeches as the one made by Viscount Ishii to the House at Washington should do much toward removing this feeling of insecurity resulting from doubt as to ambitious Japanese designs. “We recognize,“ he said in welcoming America’s entrance on the. war, “the great up- lift given to humanity and the promise of a physical victory doubly insured by the momen- tous decision you have taken. We are eager for counsel with you. We came to find out how these two nations can best co-operate in the con- duct and winning of the war. We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers of America.” Japan now has a government modeled exactly on that of the German empire. Of course, the wonder is that in one generation Japan should have progressed even this far fm the evolution of civilized governmental forms. Perhaps an advance to higher ground, the substitution of responsible for irresponsible government—ea gov- ernment dependent on and accountable to the representatives of the people, instead of to a monarch—is presently to be inventoried among the other beneficial results of the war. __— = we Uncle Sam is playing the dual role of the “Bull” and the “Bear” in the latest dramatiza- tion of “The Pit.” = = = — a PARTNERS IN DEMOCRACY. St. Louis this week is mobilizing two great dem- ocratic forces—80,000 public school children and 4577 men for the new national army. ; It may seem incongruous to associate the little girl with her beribboned braid on the way to her first primer class and the broad-shouldered youth en route to a school where he will learn to kill, but an identical and important end is served by both mobilizations. Nothing has done more to amalgamate the American people into a coherent democratic pow- er than the public school. It has taken the chil- dren of the rich and poor, the sons and daugh- ters of the Italian immigrant and the Mayflower upstanding, sturdy citizenship, with one loyalty and one allegiance. The new national army will carry further the work of equalizing Americans. Those whom the public schools have not reached or reached only partially will learn the lesson of true democracy in the cantonments and at the front in France. There will be no discriminations in the formation of the new army units, no differentiation because the children in the schools, the men will be put labor to ignore its day of opportunity and pre- | garding food control has been verified.” descendant and turned out a finished product of | ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, THURSDAY EVENING, together in the same company or battalion at ran- dom. There will be no elite regiments in the national army, unless it be the elite of efficiency. If we profit by the teachings of the war and direct wisely the forces of these wonderful years, we may look formard in America to a democracy such as Plato dreamed of, 100 per cent pure. = = — FALSE PROPHET OF HOOVERISM. “Jingo editors” and the superiority of his brand of patriotism to theirs are reported to have been made a subject of considerable fatuous conversation by Senator Reed while in St. Louis en route to Washington. - He charged that Hooverism has “sent prices skyrocketing, at the expense of St. Louis and American consumers.” But it was as the especial champion of the poor American farmer that Reed opposed Hoov- erism im Congress. He contended that the food control bill, by keeping prices down, would result in ruinous loss to the farmer, who is c titled to get his when so many other interests are getting profit out of the war. But if Hooverism has caused prices to skyrocket, where is the damage to farmers? : Mr. Reed’s statements in Washington and in St. Louis do not hang together. There he sor- rowed over Mr. Hoover and food control because of their inevitable injury to the farmer. Here he wept over their injury to the consumer. “Every prediction [| have made,” he says, “re- Not a ‘single prediction of any importance made by Mr. Reed bas been verified. Every one of them has been shown to be false and puerile. Had the obstructionists permitted the bill to pass two months earlier, perhaps even greater benefits might be claimed for it. But that, with- out it, wheat would now be higher than $2.20 and that next winter it might go to the skyrocket $3.20 price of last bpring is not to be doubted. Hooverism has afforded substantial protection to the consumer and—contrary to a Reed predic- tion—has insured a highly remunerative price to the farmer eB oxy to another Reed prediction—has furnished incentive for a largely \j increased production. Senator Reed is a wretched prophet. But if, aside from grains and potatoes, other foodstuffs not now covered by the bill skyrocket to mon- strous prices next winter—Mr. Reed says they will—that will be an arg@ment for more food control, not less. : = = * 7 That St. Louisan drafted away from a $6000 job will be amply compensated in the form of increased self-respect and that contented feeling that comes from a duty well and willingly per- formed. COLLARING THE SMALL CHANGE. Once more the poor consumer gets it in the neck! The price of white collars has been in- creased from 15 cents to 20 cents each. The first news came from manufacturers in that center of the collar trade, Troy, N. Y. One wouldn't be surprised to hear any day that these necessary articles are being sold by troy weight. The manufacturers have a perfectly plausible éxplanation. They say it is because of a scarcity of materials and labor. With all due deference to their inside knowledge, one surely will be pardoned for saying that the excuse will hardly wash. Within the next few months a million or so of white-collar wearers will have been collared by the Drill Sergeants of the new army and will wear white collars no more until after the war. According to the law of supply and demand, this ought at least to stabilize the market, if it doesn’t glut it. As each man would require ordinarily at least a dozen collars a year, this would mean a difference of 12,000,000 collars. There may be no connection between these facts and the new advance, but somehow the suspicion that there is sticks in one’s gorge. ‘Upon the receipt of the news from the manu- facturers, retailers announced an immediate raise Lin prices to the new figure. But ought not that charge to be based upon what they must pay for new supplies and not upon what they paid for the stocks on hand? There is certainly ground for the supposition that the retailers and mann- facturers are banded together in a five-ply, non- shrinkable scheme to choke a few more dollars out of a long-suffering public. Now, we suppose, the laundries will charge us more for wearing out our 20-cent collars than they did for our 15-cent collars and much more than for the two-for-a-quarter ones we bought in the dear, d?m days of long ago! =_— ‘= i a = : A After three years of air raids on England, in which hundreds of ‘women and children were killed, German aviators have finally managed to mer resort a few miles away was missed, prob- ably by accident. = = * THE THRIFT GARDENS OF ENGLAND. When it is remembered that the total area of England and Wales is somewhat less than that of Missouri, the announcement that there are 600,000 more acres of land in cultivation in them this year than last throws light on John Bull’s heroic effort to discount the submarine warfare. It partly explains the official an- nouncement that undersea , piracy cannot pos- sfbly starve England for the next two years. Finding more than half a million of new ara- ble acres in the densely populated southern part of the island was perhaps less difficult than find- ing the workers to till them. Millions of En- glishmen and Welshmen have been called into the armies, millions -more have been mobilized in the munitions factories, while every available hand has been employed in the tremendous in- dustrial plants that are building ships and mak- ing supplies for the allies. | Women have made up a large part of the labor shortage. About 100,000 of them are said to be regularly employed in farm work. In addi- tion the military has lent 40,000 soldiers from the reserves in training camps. Lying propagandists have not hesitated to try to poison the minds of people in this country by charging that England has left her allies to bear the brunt of the war; that she’ has not attempt- ed to do her fair share Facts such as these are of wealth, social condition or other reason. eeont ~~ gm malter pp: al setcalireniestt ain’ dacity, , ro Be J fe ORGANIZED A SMASH ON THE AMERICAN FRONT. damage a naval barracks at Chatham.

SRY dimly shone the lamps of the rickshaws; very faintly came the taptap of the sandals passing to and fro on the Bund. Yokohama was going to sleep, and the great liners in the bay looked dark and ghostlike against the rising moon. The three men sitting on the terrace of the Grand Hotel met here every ninth week. They were cap- tains of three of the liners. All were Englishmen. Blackburn, who com- manded a ship owned and manned by Japanese, lit his pipe and gazed out across the harbor, drawing his hand over his brow and hair. . “Same old heat,” he said. ’ The others nodded. * Bainbridge, a slight, little man with fair hair, moved restlessly. “A week and we’ll all be at oppo- site corners again,”’ he said, ‘“‘none of | them much cooler.” “Not bad at home now,” mused Villiers, broad and silent man, with the gray eyes of a dreamer. He leaned forward, smiling slightly. ~ “D'ye know, it’s three years next month since I've seen th’ wife. Devil of a life! And I don’t see my way to getting back yet, either. No place for women, the East.” ’ ;, Bainbridge stared at him uneasily. “Yes, deuce of a life,” he assénted, “but worse for the women, even ‘in England.

He may be snoozing.”’ They rose and climbed the stairs to the room Villiers was wont to occupy during his stay in port. The door was unlocked, and after knocking and receiving no reply they entered. It was so dark that at first they could see nothing. Blackburn, dimly dis- cerning the bureau, shuffled toward it to light the gas. But before he reached it his foot struck a soft ob- ject, and simultaneously a nauseous wave of horror swept over him. “My God! Light a match,” said. Bainbridge did so and, stepping over the prone figure, lit the gas with trembling hands. Villiers was dead. His gun lay by his side, and in a little pool of#lood by his right temple a crumpled let- ter lay, face up. “Nothing should be touched,” said Blackburn, “until the proper steps have been taken—except”’ Bainbridge stooped and lifted the bloody page. “Except this,’’ he said, and, folding it carefully put it in his wallet. When, many hours later, aboard his ship, Blackburn locked his cabin door, and Bainbridge, who had ac- companied him for the purpose, spread out the sheet and read it slowly: “My Dear Frank—Your rather ex- traordinary epistle has reached me, and I assure you it was quite un- necessary. You surely do not expect me to have lived all these years alone and to have known men as I do with- out realizing that I could scarcely expect you to live the life of a celi- bate in the Far East. In this strange little game of life we must take our pleasures as they come, and I have taken mine, even as I have not pre- vented you from taking yours. Fool- ish boy!

F. A. WALKER. Nannette’s Fairy. ANNETTE was a little peasant girl, who lived all alone on a little farm near the moun- tains of a country in a far-off land. Her father and mother had died and left her alone, but they had not left her poor, because the little cot- tage was comfortable and the barn held a cow and a donkey and the loft was filled with hay. Nannette was very happy, even though she did live all alone, until one da.- her aunt came to visit her from the other side of the moun- tain, and when she saw the comfort- able home Nannette had and how well she cared for it, she thought it would be a good, comfortable place to live. “You should not live here alone,” her aunt told Nannette. ‘You should marry and have a man about. I will go home and bring your Cousin Jock, whom you are sure to fall in love with, because he is so handsome, and you two shall be married.” “But I do not wish to marry ” said Nannette. “And least of all to some- one I do not love.’ “Oh! but you will love Jock. You have not seen him since he was a boy, but he is now a handsome man, and you are sure to fall in love with him,” said her aunt. So, in spite of all poor little Nan- nette could say, her aunt went home and brought her son to Nannette’s home. Now, Jock was a lazy fellow, and thought only of eating and sleeping, or lying on the grass in the sun all day in the summer, and in the win- ter to sit by the fire and toast his feet; and when he saw the comfort- able home which Nannette possessed he was quite ready to marry her. Nannette, however, did not like Joek, for he was not at all the sort of man she had thought she some day might wed. One night, when she was lying awake in her bed, thinking how un- happy she was, because the next day her aunt was going for the parson to marry her to Jock, Nannette saw a streak of light like a moonbeam coming through the window. She looked to see where it came from and a jJittle fairy with pink wings and a’tiny gold wand came along the shining path and perched on the foot of her bed. “Nannette, dear, you have always been so good and kind I am going to help you,” said the fairy. “Do as I tell you, and you will soon be rid of your cousin Jock and your schem- ing aunt. “It will be rather unpleasant for you,” said the fairy, “for I shall change your pretty face into that of a cat and your hands into paws, with sharp claws. “But do not be alarmed, for you can use the paws quite as well as you now use your hands, and I will change you back as soon as you are rid of your troubles.” The next morning when Nannette was eating breakfast with her aunt and Jock she saw them looking at her in a very strange manner, and suddenly Jock exclaimed, ‘“‘Look at her; she is a witch; she looks like a cat; I won't marry a cat, even to get a good home.” All at once Nannette felt herself growing very angry with Jock for saying this, and she felt a great de- sire to scratch him. “Don’t you dare call me names!”’ she said, jumping up and reaching out to scratch him with her sharp claws “Why, Nannette, what is the mat- ter with you?” asked her aunt; “you certainly do look like au cat, and I never saw you show such a temper before.” ? “That is because she thinks she is to marry me today,” said Jock, from behind a chair, where he had taken refuge; “but you are mistaken, Miss. I won’t marry you.” “Yes you will,” Nannette heard | herself saying; ‘I am going to catch you and hold you until the parson comes. You wanted to marry me, and now you shall.” When Nannette said this she ran toward Jock egain, and out of the house he ran as fast as he could go. His mother, fearing some harn: would come to her handsome boy, ran after him, and neither of them stopped until they reached their home, on the other side of the moun- tain, where they ran in and locked the door. When they were well out of sight, Nannette ran back home, and to her surprise found she no longer felt cross or like scratching anyone; and she looked at her hands and found they were not claws any longer. She next ran to the mirror to see if her face was her own, and over her shoulder she saw the little fairy smiling at her. “Your face is safe, Nannette, and so are you, for your aunt would nut let her precious son marry anyone who would scratch him,” said the fairy, “and when the right man comes along you must marry him and be happy.” Not long after this a nice young man came along, and she found she 4id4 not feel at all ‘ike driving him away when he asked her to marry him. ne e ayndicate.

Verily, verily, I cannot believe that I once thought him merely “a nice boy” and “‘good enough” to flirt with! For behold, now he is a giori- fied image set upon the altar of my heart.

However, that’: none of the bookies has lost much on the big odds has been due to the fact that few of them were backd to,.any extent. Today is the third last of the meet- ing. One cheering piece of news was handed out yesterday in the fact that jockey Willie Crump, who was set down by Starter Dade for insubordi- nation at the barrier, will be eligible to ride today. Gipsey George, considered the best mount here, again was scratched from the third race yesterday. The horse has failed to start as yet, and his withdrawal yesterday was a huge dis- appointment to those who wished to obtain a line on his ability. Bookies Have to Pay? Reports that the bookmakers were helping the management financially gained strength in the paddock, yes- terday, through the admission of two or three of the men who will not permit the use of their names, that they contributed $37.50 daily to the management. This has been denied by Judge J. A. Murphy, one of the promoters of the meeting. A rumor earlier in the meeting” had it that each bookmaker was re- quired to buy daily 25 admission tickets.at $1.50. This would amount to $37.50. A well-defined roar went up at the track yesterday when Kinney, the opening favorite in the third race, Teceived a ride that caused comment. Leading by two lengths into the stretch, Jockey Smith on Kinney, did not even hand-ride his mount, far less whip him. Berlin caught him at the post by a head.

The game yesterday wound up the Season's battling between the Browns and White Sox, with Rowland’s pen- nant chasers winning 15 out of 21 layed. The Chicagoans had far the etter of it in every series with the exception of one in which the locals ofne even in six played.

'Felsch Breaks Up Passing Joe Jackson to get at “Happy” Felsch, the White Sox's leading batter for the season, proved the undoing of Allan Sothoron and the Browns in the eleventh inning of yesterday's final clash with the White Sox. Felsch rapped out a clean single, which scored two runs, while Jackson also tallied when he beat Sisler’s throw after Felsch had been caught in a runup. This swat beat the locals, 4—1, and enabled the Chicagoans to retain their seven- game lead. Prior to this the contest had been a great hurling duel between Claud Williams and Joneés’*spitballer. The Sox had tallied in the seventh on successive singles by: Jackson, Felsch and Gandil. Johnson's double and two sacrifices tied it. for the Browns in the eighth. On three occasions during the con- test, the first man in the inning doub- led against Williams, but failed to score, This happened in the second, fourth and eleventh. That's how ef- fectively Williams was pitching. The el@ht hite for the Browns were scat- tered over as many ‘inings. Tigers Open Here Today. Hugh Jennings and his Tigers will q@pen their final series of the season here today. Four games will be played.

The local boy gave an exhibition befitting anything but a champion. True, he suffered the worst of the breaks, but Cannefax himself is au- thority for the statement that a real- ly good billiard player isn’t supposed to get the worst of such things. The champion counted but 15 buttons in in his first 33 innings and even this average was helped along by a brace of threes, one in the fifteenth in- ning, another in the nineteenth and oné more in the twentieth frame. On the other hand, De Oro’s game was as brilliant as tie champion’s was off color. He jumped into a big lead in the seventh inning, when he accumulated eight consecutive counta, and“som then on to the finish forced Cannefax to strain évery nerve to keep him in sight. The Cuban picked up another run of five in the 30th frame and added four in the 42d. The high run for the champion was four in the 35th. De Oro Takes Big Lead. Cannefax is notoriously a poor be- ginner, but a whirlwind finisher. He won the championship against a 14- point handicap, and he said last night that he was not in the least worried over the fact that he had practically ‘Spotted” his adversary a 20- -point margin. He has consistently main- tained that he will force an opponent to average better than one to have a chance to beat him. That ig precisely what De Oro did last night, and if he continues in the form he showed in the opening block, he will keep with- in this average for the remainder of the block. Cannefax went to the table a 6 to 5 favorite to take the opening block. There was very little De Oro money in sight, but notwithstanding the odds were Kept at this margin. There wae no one who would establish a basis of wagering for the match, but th- Rex youngster more than likely wil) be placed on the short ends of the odds unless he applies the steam to- night. ‘“Safety”’ Shots Few. Each player shot deliberately safe- ty but once during the first block. De Oro was first to use the “needle and thread” #n the 43d inning, while Cannefax attempted a sewing session in the 44th. The Cuban's strategy worked, but he got out of the .cham- pion's attempt to leave him safe with a spectacular pocket bank. The sec- ond block will be played tonight. sterting at 8 o'clock. and the final 50 points are scheduled Friday night. CARDINALS HAMMER OUT 18 SAFETIES AND BEAT CUBS IN SECOND, 9-4 CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—The Cardinals “yesterday rapped four Cub pitchers ‘for 18 safeties and were the winners in the second game of the series, >9-—4, Leon Ames, hurling for the Knot-Holers, yielded five safeties, while he himself cracked out four, in- cluding a double and triple. Tommy Logg also connected for four raps. The final game of the series is scheduled for this afternoon. Either Bill Doak or Lee Meadows will start for the Cards and Claud Hendrix for the Bruins. Tomorrow is an open date for the Cardinals and they will play an exhibition game at Washing- ton, Ind. Saturday they open with the Reds in Cincinnati. Game After Joe Jackson Is Passed; Tigers Today man's Park would commence at 3 o'clock instead of 3:30. It was announced yesterday that Lee Magee would not play for some time. Magee for the last week that he was in the box score was play- ing with a strained tendon in his groin and yestenday he was forced to consult a physician. Now the for- mer Cardinal, Fedéral and Yankee will be forced to rest. Meanwhile Ernie Johnson will play third base. WORLD’S SERIES SEAT APPLICATIONS RETURNED CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Baseball enthu- Siastgs Who are anxoaus to obtain seats for the world’s series have as- sumed that the Chicago club already has won the pennant in the American Leagwué and are mailing money and checks to the office of the local club These letters are being returned as fast as received. President Comiskey said today he would not accept any reservations until the race was defi- nitely decided, and the National Com. mission gave its consent to proceed with the program for the titular games. = The Chicago club now ts leading Boston by seven games and has 18 more to play. Should Chicago win half of these, Boston will have to win 20 out of a possible 26 games to tie at the finish. The Post-Dispatch is the only evening day, the week-day conflicts @ Sporte- in Bt.

THLETICALLY speaking, St. Lowis is 23 centaries out of date. Twenty- one centuries before Pierre Laclede blew down the Mississippi ard settled here, in ancient Greece they were staging five-day world’s athletic championship meets, before crowds of 30,000—or whatever the capacity a the stadium might be. Here in St. Louis, within the past seven days, was held what amounted to a world’s title meet. The best athletes of the Unit- ed States were here. The Red Cross was back of the event and was to benefit by it. The Chamber of Commerce supported it. The Conventions Bureau con¢ tributed to it. The Retailers’ helped underwrite & The Missouri Athletic na Association ation put a shoulder behind The United Railways con at its success. And a committee of buginess men, including the Mayor,’ was enlisted to help it. And yet, in three days of,, events, a grand total of less than 2900 paid admissions to witness the events. The Red Cross, far from » got nothing, and the underwriters will be “stung” for four-fifths of their advance contributions. The promoters had dreamed a dream of 100,000 patronage; reality divided it by fifty. And, lest ‘you think it the fault of the meet, it was an 18-karat event, well conducted, f: : the most part. Explain tt? Ask us something easy, Bo, such as when will the war end or who will win the world’s sortes? ved “= Decathlon Lacks i Punch, N athletic meet is .not a very thrilling affair. Only when the championship glamor attaches to track and field sports do they stir the blood of those not interested directly in é¢ither the men or the outcome, In the allround champiomship espe- cially the interest lags. <At the stadium Monday it required six hours to détermine the winner of the de- cathlon. Athletes struggled wearily through the 10 events to a finish that was without a punch. The winxrer was determined by an clerical force and not by a via- .. ible, thrilling climax. Until the announcer proclaimed the winner by points, spectators were at a loss whom to cheer. Such an event cannot expect to hold the spectators, i | Harking Back. N the o ld days they did it differ- ently. If we believe one version of the conduct of the ancient Olympic meets, they rad a better and more spectacular way of determining the winner of the Pentathlon—which Was the allround championship of that period. It was a method that held the spec- tators rapt, throughout, and furnished a climax that not only needed no an- nouncement as te ita winner, bet fre- quentiy called fer aasiatance tn Te- moving the relies of the defeated man, According te reliable authorities, the pentathlon of the older Olympics, four centuries B.

That this crowning decisive strug- gle was watched with breathless in- terest and was bitterly contested goes without saying; and it was this su- preme climax which served to lend such extraordinary sest to ancient athletic carnivals, as . a Perhaps if some sort of elimination System could be devised that would result in the weeding out of competi- tors in the modern all-round event, popular interest in this championship could be greatly increased, As it now ts conducted, it is bore- dom raised to the Nth power, for all except the initiated. a ae World’s Series May Be Started m West Oct. 6. CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Details for the world’s verles are to be workod out at a special meeting of the Na- tional Baseball Commission to be held in Cincinnati Sept. 20, President Johnson of the American League said last night. The sptrited race between Chicago and Bostoa for the Ameri- can League pennant will have been definitely settled by that time, he said. Although Charles <A. Comiskey, president of the Chieago Club, de- clines to make any statement claim- ing the championship, orders for world’s series seats are beginning to pour in from the Middle West. There ig a strong possibility that the series, if Chicago is the American League contender, will start in Chi- cago on Saturday, Oct. 6, President Johnson said, although the place for playing the first game is decided by the toss of a coin, President John- son said the National League might waive this formality and agree to start the games in the West so a Sunday game eons | be played. NEW YORK, Sept. sept. 6—Seats for the world's series baseball wannes this. year will not be reserved by mail, but every ticket possible will bei Placed on public sale at the grounds, the New York National League Club announced last night. Numerous let- ters asking for reservations has been received by the club, it was said, “Absolutely no reservations will be made and nothing will be done in re- lation to the worlds séries until the time has arrived when it will be pos- sible to issue an announcement cov- ering all details,” the club’s state- ment gaid. MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS TO ARRANGE FOR ELIMINATION GAMES AT MEETING TODAY Arrangéements for the coming elim- ination series to decide the municipal baseball championships for the sea- son of 1917, will be made at a meet- ing to be held at 5 o'clock today in room 330 Municipal Courts Building. The first’ eliminations will be stated on Saturday, while several also will be played Sunday. It is the present intentions of the officials to play the finals on Sept. 29. As an added attraction, Memphis and Kansas City have been invited to send their teams here.
