WASHINGTON, *‘Sept. 10.—Exclu- sion from the mails of certain in- fiuential German language news- papers printed in- various sections of the United States is under considera- tion by the Postoffice Department as a part of the Government's determi- nation to prevent circulation of anti- war propaganda. In three or four instances, it is understood, officials have virtually decided that the utterances of the newspapers in question fully warrant their exclusion from the mails. Contents of the newspapers under investigation, it is said, apparently were written with a view to coming within the law and at the same time creating anti-ally sentiment and gen- erally discouraging the Government plans for carrying on the war. A number of publications printed in English also are) under consider- ation. U-BOAT A BLESSING IN ONE WAY Rhondda Declares It Has Stimulated Cultivation in United Kingdom.

STUDENTS AS SPECTATORS Some of More Proficient Ones Are to Be Taken Aloft Soon; More Men to Arrive. The first flight at the new $750,000 Government aviation school at Scott Fiela, near Belleville, was mado at 11:27 o’clock this morning. William H. Couch, a civilian instructor, from Stuart, Io., made three circuits of the fleld at a height of 500 feet in a * 20-horsepower Standard ezirplane. He developed a speed of between 60 and 65 miles. There was considerable difficulty at the start, owing to the mucdy condition of the field. Couch, ac- companied by Maj. C. K. Rhineharat. a military instructor, left the hanga. at the north end of the field at 11 o’clock. He ran along through tne mud to the south end, a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Wheels Pulled From Mud. At this point, Maj. Rhinehardt, who occupied the front seat, got out and the lightened airplane rose from the mud in which the wheels were imbedded. About 80 students and instructors, including Lieut. Paul Prevost of the French army, who has been assigned to assist at Scott Field, witnessed the‘ flight. It is expected that Couch and some of the other instructors will take some of the more proficient students up for a brief flight late in the after- noon. Couch was in the air 11 minutes. He made a graceful landing, vol- planing to the earth at almost the spot from which he started, in the southwest corner of the field. A north wind of 30 miles was blowing. The machine, which was brought from Plainfield, N. J., is equipped with a“‘stick” instead of: wheel con- trol. Because of his familiarity with the lever system Couch was selected to make the first flight. The new airplafes are equipped with wheel controls like automobiles. Insignia of U. S. on Wings. On each wing of the airplane was painted the aviation insignia of the United States; a white star on a blue field with a red circle in the center of the star. On the tail was painted red, white and blue stripes in the or- der of the tricolor of France. Scott Field is to have accommoda- tions for approximately 350 student aviators, who are to begin arriving in large numbers late this week. For their instruction there will be 72 air- Planes, each valued at $8000, a total of $576,000. Maj. Reinburg of the regular army is in charge of the field and the coupses of instruction. MAINE VOTERS AT POLLS TODAY TO DECIDE WOMAN SUFFRAGE Light Ballot ‘on Constitutional Amendment Expected With Farmers Busy Harvesting. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 10.—The voters of Maine went to the polls at a special election today to cast their ballots on the question of rati- fying the constitutional amendment for woman suffrage submitted to the people by the last Legislature. The Maine Equal Suffrage League and the Suffrage Referendum League of Maine have conducted an active campaign for the amendment. The opposing forces have been led by the Maine Association Opposed to Suffrage for Women. Leaders of both sides said they felt confident of victory. While the weather was clear, lead- ers of both factions looked for a light vote, largely because farmers were harvesting crops and hecause there was no party contest jin which they were especially interested. FROSTS DAMAGE CORN IN NORTH Temperature of 31 Degrees at Wi- nona, Minn., Is Reported. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 10.—Kill- ing frosts, resulting in much damage to the corn crop and total destruc- tion of garden truck throughout Min- nesota and Western Wisconsin, were reported today. While the extent of the damage to corn has not been de- termined, farmers believed it would be heavy. The temperature fell to 31 degrees in Winona, Minn., early today, according to the Weather Bu- reau. Ice was formed in Western Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota.

COAL DEALERSAYS. SCOTT ASKED HIN TOCHANGE RECORD Wanted Invoices to Show State Purchases Were for Scott In- dividually, Henderson Asserts. ABLE TO SUPPLY NEEDS Declares There Was No Excuse for Purchases at Prices Ex- ceeding Contract Figure. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. John Henderson, president of 19.— the ‘West Virginia Coal Co., which had the contract to furnish the State with coal during the last winter, told the ‘Post-Dispatch today. that John W. Scott. Commissioner of Permancnt Seat of Government, came to his ot- | fice and asked him to change his records of coal shipped to the State, following the exposure of the coal situation at Jefferson City.in — last Friday’s Po™-Dispatch. Henderson said Scott wanted. his company to make out separate in- voices for coal which had been bought and paid for by the State and ‘to make the records show that pact of the coal had been billed to Scott personally and not as a State offi- cial. Henderson said he refused to change his records and Scott went away. State Never Paid. The Post-Dispatch published the fact that Scott had been selling coal from State cars to various State of- ficers and politicians and that the State never had received any money for the coal. Former State Auditor John P. Gordon and his son, Morris Gordon, State’s Supervisor of Build- ing and Loan, got one entire car of coal which was billed to and paid for by the State on a certificate signed by Scott. This car arrived In Jeffer- son City four weeks after the State heating plant had been closed _per- manently. It was also shown that State Beer Inspector Speed Mosby, State Supér- intendent of Insurance Walter Chorn, Lawrence Huegel, Bertillon officer of the prison, and other State em- ployes and private individuals had received coal from State cars for which the State received no money. Mosby and Chorn said they paid Scott for the coal. It also was shown that although the State had a con- tract with Henderson's company, pro- tected by a $5000 bond to supply the State with coal at $2.90 a ton, Scott bought $8000 worth of coal from John Riner, a lotal coal dealer and personal and political friend of Scott, at $4.50 and $5 a ton. Able to Supply Needs. “There was no excuse for the State. to have bought coal at such a price,” said Henderson, “when we had con- tracted to furnish it at $2.90. No complaint was ever made that we were not living up,to our contract, and we never were called upon to make good on our bond. Frequently we shipped as much as 4 carloads at once on Scott’s orders. We were awarded the contract in open com- petition with Riner and other coal men because our bid was the lowest and best.” Henderson said Scott was in his office seeking to have him change his coal records last Saturday. Effort to locate Scott in Jefferson City on Sat- urday resulted in information from his home that “he had gone to the country and could not be reached by telephone or telegraph.” a GOODS BILLED TO STATE FOUND IN HOTEL BASEMENT By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 10.— The investigation of the Department of the Permanent Seat of Govern- ment took a new, turn today, when the Post-Dispatch correspondent found two 60-gallon steel barrels of a costly disinfectant had been stored in the basement of the Central Hotel until it was found by Col. J. A. Huegel, proprietor of the hotel, who dumped it into the back yard. The barrels were shipped to “John W. Scott, Commissioner of the Per- manent Seat of Government,’ the name of the consignee being painted on the end of the barrels. The barrels contain “Germo in- secticide,’’ sand were bought from the Germo Manufacturing Co. of 8t. Louis. wrence Huegel, Bertillon officer at the penitentiary and son of Col, Huegel, is the local agent for the Germo company. Payment of $459 Held Up. Further investigation revealed that Auditor Hackmann has refused to pay a bill of $469.60 for insecticide and other supplies bought by Scott for use in the temporary Capitol, al- though the bills were certified as correct by, Scott. The State has been paying $2 a gallon for insecticide. The bills show that the State has bought 480 gal- lons of Germo since Jan. 1. Hack- mann sald he talked with men wh had used Germo in publie build and he was convinced the State cowl Continued om Page % Coli, eho “ a See On Wealthy Widow Whose Death By Shooting Is Investigated MRS. ee ccc tintin & Underwood. | ee te See eee ee eee OY'S 5 PER ENT OF DRAFT QUOTAIN CAME Departure of 30 Men Last Night Completed Number—Five Wards Not Represented. With the departure last night of 30 men for Camp Funston, Kan., five per cent of the army draft quota of St.. Louis and St. Louis County has been forwarded to the cantonment. Five St. Louis wards .were not rep- resented in the last continyent, hut the deficiency was made un by larger delegations from other wards. No more registrants will be sent away until Sept. 19, when 50 per cent of St. Louis’ quota will be mobilized. According to instructions from the Adjutant-General at Jefferson City, this allotment must be certified to him by Sept. 13. The local district board is sufficiently advanced in its work to make it a‘certainty that me orders will be carried out. Additional certifications from two wards today brought the total num- ber of St. Louisans ready for service up to 4766, or 389 more than the quota. -It.is expected that several hundred exemptions will have been granted. by the time the board com- pletes its work. While the board has been liberal in granting discharges to men with proven dependents, it has been equal- ly severe with men who have. been married only since last April, and who were thus aware of the proba- bility of being drafted. _—~ The names of thcse examined yes- terday and Seturday, with those ac- cepted or ftejected, will be found on page 13 of this edition of the Post- Dispatch.

C., Sept. 10.— After a yisit to Blackwelder Springs, where Mrs. Maud King, wealthy wid- ow of New York and Chicago, was killed the night of Aug. 29, Solicitor Hayden Clement announced he was unable to reconcile the testimony given at the Coroneér’s inquest with conditions as he found them at the scene of the tragedy. He still in- sisted a motive must be shown before he will reopen the case. He returned today to Salisbury to open a -term of criminal court, in which are to be tried three murder cases. He said that on this account he would not have much time ‘to spare on the King case until the lat- ter part of the week. Solicitor Clemens said he could not see why Gaston Means and Mrs. King pi¢ked out such a dark place to do their target practicing. “If it was so dark that he had to strike a match, I don’t see how he could have seen Mrs. King with the pistalgp her hand,” said thé solicitor. Mrs. Maizie Melvin, sister of Mrs. King, granted a short interview, but broke down and cried when men- tioning her sister’s name. She is a guest in the Means home, and was interviewed in the Means parlor. Present were Gaston and Afton Means, their father, Col. William G. Me¢..¢; Misses Kate and Belle Means, sisters of Gaston, and Mrs. Gaston Means. “Before God,.that boy is innocent,” she said, in opening the interview. “It is all so terrible,” she contin- ued, as she began to weep. “There should be some way to stop all these things that are being said about my dead sister.” “There will be a day of reckoning,” declared Gaston B Means, “for those who are responsible for such insinuations. As a Southern gentle- man, I brand them as , and I. mean to defend to the limit the name of this woman who is dead and unable to protect herself.” MEMBER OF HOSPITAL UNIT St. : te Refer to Local Men.

By Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 27 (By mail).— Throughout official London the be- lief is held that a very definite peace offer will come from Germany boe- fore winter and that the offer will suggest immediate cessation of hos- tilities as a status quo basis. Entente statesmen have fully in- dicated that they will refuse such terms, and no doubt Germany 1s aware of this. But German leaders regard a status quo offer from the German side as an indispensable step in the preparation of German pubic opinion for further concessions. A high official authority gave the Associated Press today the following statement of the situation in Ger- many as regards peace: ‘There is no doubt that the Ger- man Government is anxious to get out of the war at the earliest possi- ble moment, on any terms which will insure them against revolution a home and national collapse. “Great numbers of people in Ger- many today would welcome-a peace on a status quo basis, this meaning practically a draw, in which no bel- ligerent would occupy any territory beyond that which it possessed in July, 1914, and in which, moreover, each side would bear its own burden in Fespect of the material losses .~ - curred during the course of the wr". But it is infpossible to say how far this view has spread among the Ger- man proletariat, because , naturally where it exists it has had, small op- portunity of public expression. Test Offers Probable. “It is obvious if the German peo- ple ultimately come to accept a et loss. of territory as inevitable, thoy must pass to that frame of mind through the intermediate stage ofa willingness to accept a status a 10 peace. WW the war continues to go against Germany, test offers to con- clude such a peace will certainly be made as soon as the pressure reaches a certain point. “Since Germany's so-called peace offer a year ago, the continued prea- sure of the entente and the entry of the United States has completely changed the situation. The question is now in fact not what are the war aims which German will impose be- fore she grants peace, but what terms she herself will be willing to eccept. That is a very simple state- ment of the greatest fact in the war situation today. “The entry of the United States and many of the South American republics has put economic matters into the foreground. The German Government must obviously view with extreme apprehension the sit- uation at home in the months imme- diately succeeding the declaration of peace. The physical exhaustion of the people and of the country, combined with the want of foo., which cannpt be immediately rem- for German products. | daughter, for starting manufactures will cre- ate a most serious situation. If, when the troops come back from the front, it.is not possible immediately to start again the industrial life of the country and provide food and work, there will almost inevitably be a very dangerous revolutionary move- ment. Socialists Would Start Trouble. “This would be started by the minority Socialists and if Germany comes out of the war without a defi- nite increase of strength and pres- tige, in some form or another, the influence of the Government in the middle classes will be so much weakened that it will be impossible any longer to depend on their active support against a revolutionary movement. The Prussian military and Agrarian party remains as firni and uncompromising in domestic as in foreign affairs as ever, and many of them’ would deprive them of the political power which they regard as their right. “For this reason that which the German Government will most seck for in any peace arrangement is se- curity that as soon as the war is over there shall be a free flow of food and raw material into the country and at the same time free markets If this could be secured, the energy of the people could be at once directed to the restoration of commerce and indus- try and their interests so concen- trated that they would be gh away from dangerous political con- siderations.” BELGIAN QUEEN MAKES AIR TRIP OVER GERMAN LINES PARIS, Sept. 10.—Queen Eliza- beth of Belgium recently made an airplane trip over a section of Bel- gian territory under German con- trol. With King Albert she was vis- iting the front in Flanders held by the French troops, and went to an aviation center, where she watched expert airmen perform various feats. Queen Elizabeth then expressed a wish to obtain a glimps once more of some of the sections of her unfortu- nate country in hostile hands. She was taken on board .an_ airplane, which, with an escort of pursuit air- planes, flew over the enemy lines and above some villages occupied by the Germans. ‘ Auto Turns Over, Injurifig 5 Persons SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 10.— Five persons were: injured, two seri- ously, when an automobile driven by Criss Sass a Willow Springs mer- chant, turned over here.

LONDON, Sept. 10.—Germany shortly will be able to publish hr peace terms, according to Dr. Georg Michaelis, the German Chancellor. Dr. Michaelis, in an interview, said he had so informed the Reichstag Main Committee, an Exchange Tele- graph dispatch from Copenhagen states. The Main Committee, said Pr. Michaelis in the interview, had “tried to make final arrangements regard- ing peace conditions and tne question of Alsace-Lorraine, but no deciajon has yet been taken. The question, however, was eagerly discussed, and Germany soon will be able to publish her peace terms.” The committee of seven members of the Reichstag and seven members of the Bundesraih appointed to druw up an answer to Pope Benedict's peace note will meet this afternoon and the reply probably will be draft- ed then, says a Berlin dispatch. Purported Outline of Germany’s Peace Terms Circulated in Capital. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—What purported to be an outline of Ger- many’s peace terms has been circu- lated among diplomats here within the last two weeks, but has been re- garded by the entente embassies and most of the neutrals as a “feeler.”’ The origin of the so-called terms was not disclosed but they are said to have been written by Foreign Secre- tary von Kuehlmann before his visit to Vienna which has been pointed to as strengthening the probability that they bear evidences of authenticity. Briefly the so-called terms were as follows: Restoration of Belgium and North- ern France, to be paid for out of the sale of Germany’s colonies to Great Britain. Alsace and Lorraine to be inde- pendent states. (High French offi- cials recently have stated anew the determination of France to be satis- fied with nothing less than the re- turn of her lost provinces. ) Trieste to be a “free port.” Servia and Rumania to be restored and Servia to have a port on the Adriatic. The Balkan question and the status of Turkey to be subjects for negotia- tion. Disarmament peace. Freedom of the seas with Great Britain in contrdl of the English Channel until the projected tunnel is built between Dover and Calais. By some diplomats such an outline is regarded as presenting something susceptible of discussion. and international German Party Organizes to Oppose “Peace by Weak Nerves.” AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10.—The Rheinische Westfalische Zeitung of Berlin announces the formation of a new “patriotic party,” the lealers of which are Duke Johann Albrev it of Mecklenberg-Schwerin, Admiral! von Tirpitz and Dr. von Wolfgars Kapp. The party’s initial proclama- tion declares hostility to the Reichs- tag’s peace resolution ‘and urges against “any peace decided by weak nerves.’’. The proclamation adds that the party is nonpolitical and will be dissolved on the day peace is signed. its aim being “‘to combat inner dis- sension in view of victory.” German Papers Differ on Question of Giving Up Spoils of War. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 10.—The week-end brought a number of ref- erences to, or official declarations concerning Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine and Poland, in the German press, which may foreshadow progress or lack of progress in Germany toward solution of these questions for inser- tion in the reply of Germany to Pope Benedict's peace proposal. *» Regarding Belgium, statements by Berlin correspondents of the Amster- dam Catholic organ Tijd and the Vienna Catholic organ Reichspost, on the proposal to give Belgium “complete autonomy” subject to lim- itations or to upset the Ger- man-made division of the country into Walloon and. Flemish halves, have attracted the attention of the German press. The Lokal Anzeiger assumes this represénts the Centrists’ solution of the situation, but it says the Tijd’s further assertion that the proposal has been accepted in principle by the “double seven’’ commission in Germany is premature. A statement in the South German Catholic organ, the Augsburg Post, declaring the time had come for a frank declara- tion that the German people have no thought of oppressing Belgium eco- nomically, politically or militarily, also is attracting attention. Dr. Georg Michaelis, the Imperial German Chancellor, in an interview published in Stuttgart, says the fed- erated governments are not ret unit- ed in idea of creating Alsace-Lor- raine into a hereditary monarchical state, but that some of them still are toying with the old idea of diving the provinces between Prussia, Ba- varia and Baden. The'solution of the Polish question is to be announced in a few days. It will begin with the institution of a regency of uncertain Powers and the abolition of the hated division into Austrian and German spheres of ad- ministration.

British Official. LONDON, Sept. 10.—tThe official report from British headquarters in France last night said: “In successful local operations this morning southeast of’ Hargicourt the Northumberland troops attacked and captured 600 yards of German trenches south of the positions we gained in this area on Aug. 26. We also captured 27 prisoners and two trench mortars. At the same time we attacked a small portion of a hostile trench required to round off our line east of Malakoff Farm and captured it after heavy fighting, in which con- siderable casualties were inflicted on the enemy. ' Today’s official report says the British troops last night consolidated the positions captured southeast of Hargicourt, on the Somme front. Austrian Official. LONDON, Sept. 10.—An Austrian official statement, under date of Fri- day, received here, says: ‘The ene- my is vainly endeavoring to. dispute our successes gained in the last few days in Carso Plateau. “Extraordinarily violent fighting continues on Monte San Gabriele, the enemy regarding no sacrifices. too great. “Since Aug. 19 we have captured altogether on the Isonzo 500 Italian officers and 18,000 rank and file.” Italian Official.

It is re- ported that at present there are no German forces in Portuguese Nyas- land south of the Rovuma River.” Victory Apparently Impossible for Either Side Northeast of Gorizia. UDINE, Italy, Sunday, Sept. 9.— Thé fight against the heights north- east of Gorizia continues night and day, during good and bad weather. The continuous, contest seems to the observer to be animated by super- human force, the Italians and the Austrians almost constantly engag- ing in hand-to-hand encounters. A strange situation is brought about by the two forces, virtually equal in numbers, strength and determina- tion, struggling for supremacy in a circumscribed arc where it is impos-} sible for either side to employ more men or artillery. Gaps in the ranks are instantly filled and thus the con- tending forces remain so balanced that victory apparently is impossible to either side. :The fierceness of the struggle is proved by the fact that in 12 hours the Italians attacked the enemy five times.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ‘5 Soomeoe OF BINGHAM WILL TO BE CONTESTED Relatives Object to Amount Left to Husband by Former Mrs. H. M. Flagler. HAD PAID HIS’ DEBTS Bequest Was Written in Her Physician’s Office on Sheet « of His Letter Head. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8.— A page of manuscript, written on a physician’s lettérhead as a codicil to a will and disposing of $5,000,- 000, is the center around which is gathering what promises to be a notable legal contest. The name signed to the codicil is “Mary Lily Bingham.’ She was the second Mrs. Henry M. Flagler. Her marriage to Flagler, the Standard Oil and railroad magnate. following Flagler’s divorce from his iInsane wife after the Florida Legislature had passed a law making insanity a ground ror divorce, was a sensation | some 15 years ago. The codicil is one which bequeaths $5,000,000 to Judge Robert Worth Bingham of Louisville, who married Mrs. Flagler Nov. York. She died July 27 last. codicil is dated June 19. William R. Kenan Jr., the brother of Mrs. Bingham, one of the trus- tees named by Flagler for his estate and one of the executors under the will of Mrs. Bingham, is the leader in the plan for contesting this codicil. The relative who has figured most in ublic, however, as a contestant is Mrs. Louise Wise Lewis, wife of Lawrence Lewis of Cincinnati, who was Mrs. Bingham’s favorite niece and who received from her an in- come of $200,000 a year, real estate holdings worth millions and $5,009,- 000 when she is 40 years old. The other brothers and sisters are said to be equally keen to contest Belatives Are Bitter. The bitterness that has been shown by the relatives of Mrs. Bingham has surprised Louisville and has led to many conjectures as to the cause of the contest. Mrs Bingham left an estate of $60,000,000 to $80,000,000, perhaps movore. Judge Bingham's $5,000,000 is small compared with the value of the rest of the estate, all”-of which goes to her relatives. It ‘s especiaily small wnen it is con- sidered that had he not signed an ante-nuptial waiver he might have claimed half the estate. Attorney W. W. Davies, Judge Bingham’s life-long friend, who wrote the codicil, was called to the stand to testify for it. Attorney Helm Bruce, representing Mrs. Bingham’s family, cross-examined Davies and pried the lid off to some extent. Davies identified the codicil and testified that it was signed by Mrs. Bingham on June 19 last at 1 o’clock in the afternoon in the office of Dr. M. L. Ravitch in the Atherton Build- ing here. He, Dr. Kavitch and Mrs. Bingham only were present. He said that Mrs. Bingham had telephoned him to meet her at Dr. Ravitch’s of- fice. He did not know she wanted to draft the codicil, but he said she had talked with him about it before and had said that she wanted to leave Judge Bingham $5,000,000. Therefore he had the codicil pretty well in mind and wrote it on a sheet of Dr. Ravitch’s paper. One question Bruce asked was: “Do you know whether or not any medicine or any drug of any kind had been administered to her on the day of this codicil, hypodermically or otherwise?” Davies Denics Drug Rumor. Davies answered that -.he did not know of any and that her manner did not indicate it. At another point Davies said that Mrs. Bingham said to him that gne reason she wanted to make the cod- icil_was that she considered Judge Bingham’'s act in signing the ante- nuptial waiver was very noble. At this Bruce asked: “Did she at the same time tell you that within a few weeks, or probably 60 days after the mar-. riage, Judge Bingham had got- ten from her $50,000 to pay himself out of debt with?” Davies said she had told him she had help Judge Bingham consider- ably. A third question was: “Didn't she say that within two or three months after the marriage, in. the menth of Feb- ruary, 1917, he had gotten from her securities of the listed value of $696,000 which are now pay- ing him an income ot more than $50,000 a year.” Davies answered: thaf she had told him she had set aside securities which ought to give her husband $60,000 a year. Unhappiness Is Hinted At. Davies said that Judge Bingha: was out of the city when the codicil was drawh. Mrs. Bingham took it and presented it to Judge Bingham | ‘ several days later, he learned. Hints of unhappiness on the part | of Mrs. Bingham because Judge | Bingham's children by his first mar- riage refused to receive her, were contained in another question by Bruce. He asked: “Mr. Davies, do you know it to bea fact that what Mrs. Bingham termed the improper treatment of herself by Mr. ' Bingham’s children and _ their ' Jack of appreciation of what she .|. had done for them, had given her very great pain and the pain '’ had gone to such an extent in ._ the later part of her life that ashe told Judge Bingham that his children could not come into her house?” Judge Humphrey, attorney fo- Bingham, objected to this and the Court overruled it. 15 last in New}.

AMERICAN RED CROSS EXPENDS $12,000,000 IN SIX MONTHS Been More Than $10,000,000 Has Used for War Relief Work in France. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Ap- proximately $12,000,000 for war re- lief work in Europe will have been expended by the American Red Cross in the first six months since the United States has been at war with Germany, according to a re- port addressed “To the American People” today by Henry P.

Robbery is assigned by the Gran- ite ‘ City police as the motive fo- the murder of Abraham Schwartz, 35 years old, of 1422 O’Fallon street, a shoemaker, whose body was fourd yesterday at Gabaret Slough, a half mile west of Granite City. He had been shot seven times and was stabbed in several place#and all his clothing had been.removed except his socks and undershirt.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 10.—The Nachrichten of Hamburg, in discuss- ing the question of peace says that both Austrian and German pan-Ger- mans declare that Austria would be false to herself and to Germany if she advocated a speedy peace, based on a renunciation of annexations and indemnities by Germany. The Nachrichten’s correspondent assails the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, the Zeit and the Sunday and Monday Gazette, ail of which have printed articles intimating that Germany is the great obstacle to the conclusion of peace, and calling upon Chancellor Michaelis to put forth a plain uncon- ditional statement, accepting the basis of no annexations or indem- nities and take real steps to introduce a democratic government in Ger- many. Prof. Lamasch, noted jurist, in the Neue #reie Presse, declares that the German Chancellor by his conduct ‘‘as I interpret: it, withered the Reichstag’s peace resolution before it could come to fruit.” The Sunday and Monday Gazette says it is idle to deny that the peace questiqns is indissolubly bound with the democratization of Germany. This it adds, after a promising beginning, has now ceased to progress and nothing is being done to weaken the accusations regarding German eva- sion and German decision on peace conditions. The Gazette asks why Dr. Michaelis does not declare without “ifs and ands” that Belgium wHl remain a free and independent state. The Zeit says: ‘There is no pros- pect of peace because the German administration is unwilling either to adopt a democratic system or make known its peace terms.’ SWEDEN EXPECTED 0 DENY INTENT T0-AlD GERMANY Transmission of Messages to Ber- lih Likely to Be Attributed to Individuals’ Zeal.

Argentina for the German charge’s reference to the Argentine Foreign Minister as a “no- torious ass,”” and his recommenda- tions that Argentine ships be de- stroyed “without leaving any trace.’”’ This might take the form of Lux- burg’s recall and a repudiation of his action. Attitude of Argentine Interesting. How Argentine will receive the in- sult, coming close on her “‘diplomatic victory” with Germany, and apply it to her determination not to join the United States in the war, or even to sever diplomatic relations, is the sub- ject of much conjecture. Undoubt- edly public opinion in Argentine, will go far toward determining that >oint, and there has not been time for it to crystalize. To Sweden, however, the United States and its allies as well, looks for action which will purge the Swedish Government and the Stockholm For- eign. Office of the stigma of know- ingly having been Germany’s tool in her newest intrigues: American of- ficilals would like to believe that Sweden officially discountenanccs any such encroachments on her neu- trality; that the guilt was personal to some particular officials, or pos- sibly that Sweden's legation was im- posed upon by Luxburg and sup- posed that, at the worst it was lend- ing the inviolability of its diplomatic privileges to an attempt to preserve peace rather than to recommenda- tions that Argentine ships and seu- men be destroyed “‘without leaving any trace.” Officials and diplomats entertain the possibility that the legation may have transmitted Luxburg’s dis- patches without knowing their exact contents, taking the German Charge’s word that they were no breach of Sweden's re to Argentina. Swedish Disavowal Expected. Whatever becomes the accepted explanation officials and diplomats here are unanimous in their belief that Sweden must disavow any par- ticipation d¥ responsibility and take’ appropriate steps to show her good faith. This muy be difficult because of the internal situation in Sweden, The Nachrichten is highly indig- | where the upper circles are admit- nant at “this treasonable alHance of | tedly pro-German; because of the Austrian friends of peace with Lloyd | fact that Sweden, militarily a weak George and President Wilson,” and suggests that Austrians, instead of worrying about the internal affairs of Germany, might better turn their attention to their own house, “where the democratization which they are still preaching is only on paper.” HOUSE ON LINDELL BOULEVARD RAIDED AND BEER CONFISCATED Police Arrest Two Women Who De- tective Says Sold Him Drinks at 50 Cents Each. On information that lively parties were held there nightly, the police raided a large house at 4035 Lindell arrested | quantity of beer; whisky and ingre- | dients for mixed drinks. A detective visited the house at 8 p. m. and asked for a young woman. He says he was informed by Mrs. Mildred MeVrilles, who conducted the place, that the woman was out of town, but she urged him to return at 9 o’clock to meet another woman. He: kept the appointment, accom- panied by policemen who concealed themselves outside, and was intro- duced themselves outside, and was introduced to Gladys Wall. The detective said he ordered two whisky highballis and a bottle of beer, for which he was charged $1.50.. A few minutes later, upon signal, the police went in and arrested the two women.

It is thoroughly understood that in Stockholm the pro-German classes are the court, the rrofessors in the universities, the bankers, the officers of the army and the journalists. The most intense Germanophile is the Queen, who is a cousin of the Kaiser, while the King has little to say, but, in spite of contrary opinion, at heart favors the English. The Government is, in the main, neutral, but the lavy- ish bestowal of rewards in the shape of orders and decorations has won over certain officials to the German side. The existence of an active propa- ganda in Sweden and Norway dates back before the beginning of the war, when the fear of Russia was used with the Swedes to such an ex- tent that the great mass of the peo- ple were pro-German. In spite of the fact that the propagandists made in- creased efforts after the war broke out and pointed to the fact that En- giand and France were arrayed with Sweden’s hereditary enemy, the sen- timent changed gradually until, when there was no further fear of Russia, the mass of the people sided with the allies. : ve Danger of Sweden. Now eden is bound to maintain versally believed that Sweden would be another Holstein fn case Germany wins.

Aside from the Rus- siap fleet there is not an allied war- ship in the Baltic and the coasts of Sweden could be quickly ravaged. It is recalled by diplomats here that Count von Bernstorff, former German Ambassador to the United States, recently has been much in Stockholm. In that connection they recall that much diplomatic activity bearing a German flavor has em- anated from the Swedish capital, which talks easily with Berlin on the long distance telephone. The exact knowledge which t Swedish Gov- ernment has in the affair will be watched here, particularly for what effect it shows on the people of Sweden. What may come of it will be determined entirely by develop- ments. In the meantime the United States, for one, expects Sweden to show her good faith. The denial of Baron Lowen, the Swedish Minister at Buenos Aires, that he sent through his legation any telegram from the German oh age t was said in Swedish quarters here that the Baron had been ill for many months and probably did not know what had been going on at the lega- tion. Statement by Swedish Charge m the United States. NEW YORK, Sept. od <li Akerhielm, Charge of the Swedish legation in the United States, who ar- rived here from Washington, has re- quested the Associated Press to make public the following statement. “The statement I made yesterday to a representative of the press has not been quite correctly reproduced in the papers. The main point as far ds Sweden is concerned, has been entirely lost. - “IT especially wished to have point ed out that when I saw the Secre- tary of-State Saturday I was told that telegrams that were forwarded by the Swedish Minister-resident at Buenos Aires for the German Charge Gc’ Affairs were in German code. This is ‘sufficient proof that the Swedish Ministér-resident did not know their contents.”’ ARGENTINA IN DOUBT ABOUT TRANSLATION BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 10.—Ar- gentine officials, according to news- paper accounts today, are ‘still un- willing to Believe that the dispatches sent to Berlin through the Swedish legation here were accurately trans- lated. The Foreign Office early to day said that it was without official advices from Ambassador Naon or American Ambassador Stimson. Newspapers and officials generally believe that the Government will de- mand the recall of Count Luxburg, German Charge at Buenos Aires, but a rupture in diplomatic. relations with Germany is not anticipated at present, the Argentine Government preferring, it is said, to consider the affair a personal one between the German and Swedish representatives here. The Swedish Minister. to. Argen- tine, Baron Lowen, denies that dis- patches in cipher have been sent to Berlin by the German Charge through the legation at Buenos Aires. He declared: “I have not sent nor caused'to be sent by the legation un- der my charge any telegram from the German legation. . The news is a great and disagreeable surprise. I have cabled to my Government to clear up matters. “In the United States they are very excitable.” Explanation Is Asked for. The official announcement: issued by the State Department at Washing- ton about communications being cent to the Berlin Foreign Office through the Swedish legation here in cipher, caused a sensation. The President has called on the Foreign Minister for explanations. Count Luxburg has taken a vaca- tion in the Andes foothills since the arrival of the American fleet at Buenos Aires, and has so far not re- sponded to a telegraphic request of | the Associated Press to make a ttate- ment. The Buenos Aires newspapers re- fer to the exposure as an unusual and sensational diplomatic scandal. La Nacion says: “This sensational development which compromises the faith of the German Foreign Office must modify many opinions regarding the situa- tion. It clearly shows the contempt with which the two diplomats in- volved regard the Argentine Foreign Office. “Diplomacy in this war has given us many surprises, but none so grave or that has occasioned consequences so difficult to foresee in their far- reaching effects as this from the United States, the involvement of the fair name of-our country, infposed upon because of its excessive good faith in a complicated plot, which must arouse universal comment of all kinds, claims, fears and suspi- cions.” Statement by Party Organ.

HAD PAID HIS_ DEBTS Bequest Was Written in Her Physician’s Office on Sheet ‘ of His Letter Head. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8.— A page of manuscript, written ona physician’s lettérhead as a codicil to a will and disposing of $5,000,- 000, is the center around which is gathering what promises to be a notable legal contest. The name signed to the codicil is “Mary Lily Bingham.” She was the second Mrs. Henry M. Flagler. Her marriage to Flagler, the Standard Oll and railroad magnate. following Flagler’s divorce from his Insane wife after the Florida Legislature had passed a law making insanity a ground ror divorce, was a scnsation | some 15 years ago. The codicil is one which bequeaths $5,000,000 to Judge Robert Worth Bingham of Louisville, who marricd Mrs. Flagler Nov. 15 last in York. She died July 27 last. codicil is dated June 19. William R. Kenan Jr., the brother of Mrs. Bingham, one of the trus- tees named by Flagler for his estate and one of the executors under the will of Mrs. Bingham, is the leader in the plan for contesting this codicil. The relative who has figured most in ublic, however, as a contestant is Mrs. Louise Wise Lewis, wife of Lawrence Lewis of Cincinnati, who was Mrs. Bingham’s favorite niece and who received from her an in- come of $200,000 a year, real estate holdings worth millions and $5,009,- 000 when she is 40° years old. The other brothers and sisters are said to be equally keen to contest Belatives Are Sitter. The bitterness that has been shown by the relatives of Mrs. Bingham has surprised Louisville and has led to many conjectures as to the cause of the contest. Mrs Bingham left an estate of $60,000,000 to $80,000,000, perhaps mvore. Judge Bingham's $5,000,000 is amall compared with the value of the rest of the estate, all” of which goes to her relatives. It ‘s especiaily small wnen it is con- sidered that had he not signed an ante-nuptial waiver he might have claimed half the estate. Attorney W. W. Davies, Judge Bingham’s life-long friend, who wrote the codicil, was called to the stand to testify for it. Attorney Helm Bruce, representing Mrs. Bingham’s family, cross-examined Davies and pried the lid off to some extent. Davies identified the codicil and testified that it was signed by Mrs. Bingham on June 19 last at 1 o’clock in the afternoon in the office of Dr. M. L. Ravitch in the Atherton Build- ing here. He, Dr. Kavitch and Mrs. Bingham only were present. He said that Mrs. Bingham had telephoned him to meet her at Dr. Ravitch’s of- fice. He did not know she wanted to draft the codicil, but he said she} had talked with him about it before and had said that she wanted to leave Judge Bingham $5,000,000. Therefore he had the codicil pretty well in mind and wrote it on a sheet of Dr. Ravitch's paper. One question Bruce asked was: “Do you know whether or not any medicine or any drug of any kind had been administered to her on the day of this codicil, hypodermically or otherwise?” Davies Denies Drug Rumor. Davies answered that -.he did not know of any and that her manner did not indicate it. At another point Davies said that Mrs. Bingham said to him that gne reason she wanted to make the cod- icil_was that she considered Judge * Bingham’s act in signing the ante- nuptial waiver was very noble. At this Bruce asked: “Did she at the same time tell you that within a few weeks, or probably 60 days after the mar-. riage, Judge Bingham had got- ten from her $50,000 to pay himself out of debt with?” Davies said she had told him she had help Judge Bingham consider- ably. A third question was: “Didn't She say that within two or three months after the marriage, in the menth of Feb- ruary, 1917, he had gotten from her securities of the listed value of $696,000 which are now pay- ing him an income ot more than $50,000 a year.” Davies answered that she had told him she had set aside securities which ought to give her husband $50,000 a year. Unhappiness Is Hinted At. Davies said that Judge Bingha was out of the city when the codicil was drawh. Mrs. Bingham took it and presented it to Judge Bingham several days later, he learned. Hints of unhappiness on the part of Mrs. Bingham because Judge Bingham's children by his first mar- riage refused to receive her, were contained in another question by Bruce. He asked: “Mr. Dayies, do you know it to be a fact that. what Mrs. Bingham termed the improper treatment of herself by Mr. Bingham's children and _ their ’ Jack of appreciation of what she *. had done for them, had given her very great pain and the pain dad gone to such an extent in the later part of her life that whe told Judge Bingham that his children could not come into her house?” Judge Humphrey, attorney fo- Bingham, objected to this and the Court overruled it. compranted aside from that of The New }-. cover there and others are rapidly being chubs; criscoes or lake herring; crap- | and jackfish); sturgeon; sturgeon sucker or redside; Laura Brown, 3737A South Jefferson avenue, where she had been visiting. a serious condition. sweetheart had failed to answer her every day through POST-DISPATCH | publicity.

AMERICAN RED CROSS EXPENDS $12,000,000 IN SIX MONTHS Been More Than $10,000,000 Has Used for War Relief Work in France. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10,—Ap- proximately $12,000,000 for war re- lief work in Europe will have been expended by the American Red Cross in the first six months since the United States has been at war with Germany, according to a re- port addressed “To the American People” today by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross war coun- cil. More than $10,000,000 of this sum, appropriated up to-and includ- | ing Aug. 31, by the war council since its appointment May 10 last, is for use in France. Other coun- tries to receive relief are Russia, Ru- mania, Italy, Servia, England and Armenia, the grand total amounting to $12,339,681, the greater part cf which will be used by Nov. 1, al- though some of the appropriations a year. The first and supreme object of the task is to care for our own ariny and navy. Toward this end the Red Cross is establishing field canteens, which it will provide for every corps of the French army, as well-as for the American army. There are now large reception camps near the coast, where United States soldiers are re-, ceived. Six base hospitals were sent to European fronts in advance of the American soldiers and more than a dozen are now actively in service made ready.

In May, idan Wertheim, head of the great department store in Berlin, told me that they had more business than in peace times. ~ ol a Prince Von Buelow’s Good English. Early in June I had two long talks with Prince von Buelow. He speaks English well, and is suspected by his enemies of having been. polishing it up lately in order to make ready for possible peace conferences. He is a man of a more active brain than the present Chancellor, and is very rest- less and anxious in some way to break into the present political sit- uation. - * - In June the anonymous attacks on the Chancellor, by pamphlet and otherwise, incensed him to such a degree that he made an open answer in the Reichstag, and had rather the best of the situation. Many anony- mous-lies and rumors were flying about Berlin at this period, and even Helfferich had publicly to deny the anonymous charges that he had been anonymously attacking the Chancel- lor. ~ * . In July the committee called the National Committee for an Honor- able Peace was formed with Prince Wedel.at its head. Most of the peo- ple in this league were friends of the Chancellor, and one of the three real heads was the editor of the Frank- furter Zeitung, the Chancellor’s or- gan. It was planned.that 50 speak- ers from this committee would begin to speak all over Germany on Aug. 1, but when they began to speak their views were so dissimilar and the speeches of most of them so ridicu- lous that the movement failed. o* * 7 bd German Coast Regulations Strict. I spent two Saturdays and Sun- days in August at Heringsdorf, a summer resort on the Baltic. Before going there I had to get special per- mission from the military authorities through the Fereign Office, as for- eigners are not allowed to reside on the coast of Germany. Regulations that all windows must be darkened at night and no lights shown whiah could. be seen from the sea were strictly enforced by the authorities. There are three bathing places. In each of them the bath-houses, etc., surrounded. three sides of a square, the sea forming the fourth side. Bathing is allowed only on this fourth side for a space of 65 yards long. One of these bathing places is for women and one for men, and. the third is the so-called Familienbad (family bath), where mixed bathing is allowed. German women are very sensible“in the matter of their bath- ing costumes, and do not wear the extraordinary creations seen in America. They wear bathing sandals, but no stockings, and as most of them have fine figures, but dress badly, they appear at their best at Herings- dorf. Both sea and atr seemed some- what cold for bathing. On account of their sensible dress, most of the Ger- man women are expert swimmers. I noticed one very handsome blonde girl, who sat on her bathing mantle, exciting the admiration of the beach because of her fine figure. She sud- denly dived into the pockets of the bathing mantle and produced an en- ormous black bread sandwich, which sh@ proceeded to consume quite un- consciously, after which she swam out to sea. No healthy German can remain long separated from food, and I noticed in the prospectus of the different boarding houses at Herings- dorf that patrons were offered, in a.- dition to about four meals or more a day, an extra sandwich to take to the beach to be consumed during the bathing hour. * ” * * One English Church Open in Berlin. There is a beautiful little English church in Berlin which was especial- ly favored by the Kaiser’s mother during her life. Because of this the Kaiser permitted this church to re- main open, and the services were continued during the war. The pas- mission to visit the British prisoners and most devotedly traveled from one prison camp to another. Both he and his sister, whose charitable work for the British deserves) mention, were at one time thrown into jaf charged with spying. . - 7 % I at first attended the hybrid American church, but, when, in 1915, I think, the committee hired a Ger- man woman preacher I ceased to at- tend. The American, the Rev. Dr. Crosser, who was in charge when I arrived in Berlin, left, to my ever- lastitg regret, in the spring before the war, * 7 * Poor Creelman, the celebrated newspaper correspondent, died in Berlin. We got him in a good hos- pital and someone from the embassy visited him every day. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Dickie, long a resident of Ber- lin, in the American church. Tha Foreign Office sent Herr Horstmann as its representative. Dr. Dickie’s wife presented the library to the American church. ” * While today all royalties and puh- lic men pose for the. movies, Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his fara- ‘ily are probably the first royalties to act in a cino play. In 1916 there was released in Ber- lin a movie play in which Czar Ferd- inand of Bulgaria, his wife and two daughters by a former wife appeared acting as Bulgarian royalties in the tor, the Rev, Williams, obtained per- |, an intimate knowledge of American character. Von Jagow, on the other hand, spent many hours talking to me about America and borrowed from me books and novels on that country. The two novels in which ho took the greatest interest were “‘Tur- moil,” by Booth Tarkington, and the “Custom of the Country,” by Mrs. Wharton. He justly thought that the characters in Mrs. Wharton’s bo ks and those of Robert Chambers were overdrawn and not at all character- istic of America, while taking the greatest interest in Booth Tarking- ton. »¢ . a * I think there must have been a period quite recently when the Ger- man Government tried to imbue the people with a greater degree of frightfulness, because all of us in vis- iting camps, etc., landsturm men, or older soldiers, were much more merciful than the younger ones. . . . * Alexander Cochran, a New York yachtsman, volunteered to become a courier between the London Embassy and ours. On his first trip, although he had two passports, his regular passport and a special courier’s pass- port, he was arrested and compelled to spend the night on the floor of the guard room at the frontier town of Bentheim. This ended his aspiration¢g to be a courier. He is now a com- mander in the British navy, having joined it with his large steam yacht, -the Warrior, some time before the United States entered the war. In the od * . . A- British prisoner, who. escaped from Ruhleben, was caught in a curi- ous manner. Prisoners in Ruhleben received bread, as I have explained in the chapter on prisoners of war, from outside. This bread is white, something unknown in Germany since the war. of the bread he had received observed that the piping. times of peace he had been | the guest of the Emperor at Kiel. took with him some sandwiches mad?) in| gratitude of such dust as we, is, Ruhleben and most uncautiously ate one of these sandwiches in a rail- way station. He was immediately surrounded by a crowd of Germans anxious to know where he had )p- tained the white bread and in this way was detected and returned to prison. On our way out in September, 1916, we were given a large dinner in Cop- enhagen by our skillful Minister there, the Hon. Mauricé F. Egan who has devoted many years of als life to the task of adding the three beautiful Danish Islands to the do- minion of the United States. He is an able diplomat, very popular in Copenhagen, where he is dean of the diplomatic corps., At this dinner we met Countess Hegermann-Linden- crone, whose interesting books, “The Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life’ and “The Courts of Memory,” have had a: large circulation in America, In Copenhagen, too, both on the way out and in, we lunched with Count Rantzau Brockdorf, then the Germzn Minister there. Count Rantzau is skillful and wily and not at all military in his instincts; I should say he is far more inclined to arrive at a reasonable compromise than the average German diplomat. He is charmingly international, with none of. the rough points and ag- gresive manners which characterize so many Prussian officials. In judging the German people, we must remember that, while they have made great progress in the last 40 years in commerce and chemistry, the very little liberty they possess is a plant of very recent growth. About the year 1780, Frederick the Great, -having sent some money to restore the burned city of Greiffenberg, in Silesia, the magistrates of that town called upon him to thank him. They kneeled and their spokesman said: ‘We render unto your Majesty in the name of the inhabitants of Grief- fenberg our humble thanks for the | most gracious gift which your Ma- The escaped prisoner | jesty designed to bestow in aid to assist.us in rebuilding our homes. The as @e are aware, of no moment or value to you. We shall, however, implore God to grant your Majesty his divine favors in return for your royal bounty.” Too many Germans today feel that they are mere dust before the al- most countless royalties of the Ger- man Empire. And these royalties are too prone to feel that the kingdoms, dukedoms and principalities of Ger- many and their inhabitants are their private property. Nassau and Anspach and Hesse, at the time of the revolution, sold their unfortunate subjects to the British Government to be exported to fight the Americans. Our American soll covers the bones of,many a poor Ger- man peasant who gave up his life in a war from which he gained nothing and of which he knew less than noth- ing. : * ; - When Frederick the Great, the model and exemplar of all German royalties, died in 1786, he disposed of the Kingdom of Prussia in his will as if it had been one of his horses. “TIT bequeath unto my dear nephew, Frederick William, the provinces, towns, palaces, forts, fortresses, all ammunition and arsenals, all lands mine by inheritance or right of con- quest, the crown jewels, gold and silver serwice of plate in Berlin, coun- try Houses, collections of coins, pic- ture galleries, gardens and so forth.” Contrast this will with the utterances of Washington and Hamilton made at the same time. . In the Grand Duchy of Mecklen- berg serfdom was not abolished until 1819. (To be Continued in the Post-Dis- patch tomorrow.)

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1917. ‘ST.LOUIS. POST-DISPATCH MINER INJURED BY BLAST DIES Marissa Man Succumbs in Elizabeth Hospital, Belleville, Suffering from injuries sustained When a shot he was preparing ex- ploded prematurely, William F. Mc- Sride, 22 years old, a Marissa coal miner, died Sunday in St. Elizabeth Hiospital, Belleville. His body has been sent to Marissa for burial. As he was tamping a load into the hole, the shot fired, causing a second shot to fine, The double concussion exploded a quantity of powder in a barrel in the same entry. CARELESS USE OF SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless),and is better than the most expensive soap or any- thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim- ply moisten the hair with water and rab it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eusily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You car get mulsified cocoanut ojl at any pharmacy, it’s very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for months.~-ADV.

JOLIET, Ill., Sept. 10.—A riot oc- curred in the State prison here to- day, during which three guards were stabbed. One convict was shot in a outbreak yesterday. The injured are: H. Wiemand, convict, shot above right lung by Guard T: P. Clarkson; Michael J. Marks, guard, stabbed in throat; J.. R. Shortwell, guard, stabbed in ab- domen; Charles Walters, guard, stabbed in abdomen. The rioters numbered about 50. of whom 15 were ringleaders in the riots of two months ago. The 15. led by Wiemand, had been in solitary confinement up to two weeks ago when Warden Murphy restored them to their formus status. They were still unruly. Warden Murphy had greatly restricted visiting privileges and armed the guards, who hitherto had been unarmed. Among the privileges previously enjoyed by the convicts was an al- most unlimited correspondence with sentimental women,*many of whose letters were made public during an investigation last summer. The first trouble occurred yester- day. At breakfast call about twenty of the convicts broke from the line and Wiemand, seizing a spade, is said to have threatened Clarkson. The latter, after ordering Wiemand to drop the weapon, shot him. The con- victs were placed in solitary confine- ment. This morning at the same hour the trouble broke out afresh. The men again broke from the line. The emergency whistle sounded and in the melee which followed between the guards and about fifty convicts, three of the guards were stabbed. The guards clubbed .their rifles and, after 15 more had been added to the list in solitary confinement, or- der apparently was restored. EAST ST. LOUIS PACKING - HOUSES GRANT RAISE Will Pay 5800 Men 25 Cents More Per Day—Office Workers’ Not Affected. The East St. Louis packing houses have granted their employes an in- crease of 25 cents a day, according to an announcement made today by Robert B. Conway, general manager of Armour & Co. The increase went into effect on last week’s work and will be received when the men are paid Thursday for last week’s work. The number of employes affected is 5800. Armour & Co. employes 2000, Swift & Co. 2000 and Morris & Co. 1800. The increase amounts to $1400 a day. The office men are not included. Conway 4eclared that the increase had been under consideration for several weeks and was not the result of agitation for the unionization of the plants. This agitation is still be- ing carried on. About 250 packing house employes attended a meeting yesterday at Lin- dell Park. One of the speakers was Emmet Flood, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor. He said that unless the packing house men stuck to the organization this time the Federation would never again help them to organize. THE REV, JAMES M. DARNELL COMPLETES PRISON TERM ~ LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Sept. 10. —The Rev. James Morrison Darnell, sentenced to three years in the Fed- eral penitentiary here for transport- ing Ryth Soper of Owatonna, Minn., from Chicago to Kenosha, Wis., in violation of the Mann act. was re- leased today after having completed his sentence. Darnell resigned his charge at Kenosha Jan. 12, 1915, after his mar- riage with Miss Daris Vaughn of Chi- cago. Previous to this time he had lived in Kenosha with Miss Soper whom he introduced as his wife. 2 During an investigation Miss So- per’s parents declared Darnell had married their daughter in October, 1913. Darnell admitted only a ‘‘com- mon law’ ’marriage with Miss Soper. During the investigation a first wife, Ethel Spurgeon Darnell of Abing- don, IIL, was found who had been legally married to the minister, but had had the marriage annulled. The second wife, Doris Vaughn Darnell, then obtained a divorce and Darnell on Feb. 15, 1915, married Miss Soper. He was arrested the fol- lowing day. 5000 MINERS STRIKE WHEN TROOPS BREAK UP PARADE SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Sept. 10.— Five thousand coal miners, represent- ing 17 mines in the Springfield dis- trict, refused to go to work this morning because of the action of mil- itary authorities here yesterday in breaking up a parade of labor union- ists intended as a demonstration in support of the strike of street car operatives. The miners declare their constitu- tional rights of assemblage and free speech were denied by armed troops. The strike resulted from an under- standing among coal diggers them- selves and was not authorized by miners’ locals. In yesterday's clash between the State troops and unionists, two men were slightly wounded by a shot fired from an army pistol and several >th- ers were bruised and cut. The mine shut-down today is vir- tually complete, operators say. THAT PARAMOUNT CIGAR. ‘A revelation in mild Havana at 10 cents.

The German-American Alliance of Missouri met yesterday at Washing- ton, Mo., in eleventh annual conven- tion with the purpose, Withum of St. as announced by George Louis, the corresponding secretary, and than ndjourning, more that. Hesolutions were adopted declaring the fealty and ad- officers herence of the organization to the LUnited States Constitution laws of the State of Missouri.

The meeting opened with the declaration of loyalty and closed with the singing of one verse of ‘‘America.” Sympathy for Germany Natural. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Charles Weinsberg of St. Louis, president of the society. In his open- ing address, after asking the mem- bers to help worthy, he said that any German who had no sympathy for his native coun- try could not be a good citizen of this, his adopted land. He explained and that it would be impossible for a man. not to feel sympathy | that | with character for the people of the country gave him birth. Their sufferings, he said, were such as to deserve sym- pathy. The expression of fealty and herence was contained in the report of the Committee on “esolutions, which was in part as follows: “To the Officers and the Eleventh Convention of State Alliance of the German-Amer- ican Alliance of Missouri: The citi- zens of Missouri, in convention as- sembled, availing themselves of their rights, guaranteed by the United States Constitution, of peaceful as- semblage and freedom of speech, de- clare herewith their unqualified feal- ty and adherence to .the United States Constitution as well as the laws of the State of Missouri. We recomniend to the delegates to Umit their deliberations to State affairs.” Other resolutions were adopted favoring a non-partisan State goy- ernment, a re-districting of Missouri for a more even reprerentition in 'the State Legislature, a m.e just distribution of taxes, cities and townships, law for olf persons, unemployed, sick and sons, anc Delegates of a State pension insurance fer inju : Prohibition Wo resolutions referring to hibition were incorporated in report of the committee: VV}, explained by Or.

LONDON, Sept. 10.—All the Lon- don papers in their editorials sim- {larly denounce in unmeasured lan- guage Germany’s action as revealed in the Swedish disclosures. The Daily News, under the cap- tion of “The Latest Perfidy,” says: “It is impossible to foresee what ef- fect the astonishing revelations will have on the general course of the war. If further evidence were need- ed of the cynical brutality with which Germany fights, it is surely here. Among the ruftians to whom the German public service appears to afford refuge in such numbers, Count Luxburg (German Charge’ Af- fairs in Argentina) is entitied to a very prominent place.” The Daily News thinks it is scare- ly credible that Argentine pub- lic opinion, even if the Argentine Government were willing, will tsl- erate continuance of friendly rela- tions with Germany. The Daily Chronicle says: ‘““‘Though only three of these messages have been dragged to light, it is perfect.y clear from their contents that they form part of an extensive and ha- bitual correspondence, which is spe- cially concerned with apprising the German authorities on ship sailings in order that their submarines might sink them. The peculiar enormity of the wrong committed by these high Swedish officials speaks for itself, but we must hesitate to be- lieve that it had any indorsement from the Swedish Government. it reflects rather the mentality of the section of the Swedish aristocracy and officiat class which gets :ts training and ideas in Germany and is the most Germanophile class outside the Fatherland.” Disavowal Is Expected. Declaring that the allies expect the Swedish Government, without delay, to disown and punish the guilty of- ficials, the Chronicle adds: “The Swedish people are now in the throes of a general election and have it in their own hands to decide by what sort of a Cabinet they wish to be governed and what policy they desire to pursue.’ The Chronicle pays a compliment to “the extraordinary brilliant per-* formance of the American intelli- gence service.”’ The Telegraph says: “It is exactly seven months since the publication of the Swedish reply to President Wil- son’s message to other neutral states in which he expressed the hope they mand for electrjc service in St. Louis our total now being :93,000.

The Times declares that the Swed- ish disclosure on its face is a gross breach of the elementary obligation of neutrality and adds: ‘The Offense is. more grave because Sweden has been warned both in London and Stockholm that it had been detected.” The Times says that President Wilson has told how Germany dared tc supply a policy of intrigue toward the United States during her neu- trality, and mentions how a num- ber of the Swiss National Council and a Swiss Minister were mobilized to make a German peace offer t» Russia and how later high explosives specially prepared to destroy ships were discovered in the baggage of Baron von Rantenfelds in Christi- ania. “The key of the whole system,” says the Times, “is found in the Ger- man Emperor’s personal messages to the Czar in 1904 and 1905, particu- larly in the message which describes his plan to seize and occupy Den- mark in the event of war.”’ In conclusion, the Times declares that “‘neither the allies nor the Swed- ish people can remain indifferent to the latest example.” “The conduct of the Swedish Min- isters in this case is unpardonable,” declares the Post. “We do not know what the Swedish people think of this conduct, which is as irreconcila- ble with honor and good faith as it ie with neutrality.

Since the last issue of Union Electric stock we have spent over $1,500,000 enlarging our plant to keep pace with the increasing de- and the ‘St. Louis district. Demand” for electric energy has increased 7,000 horse power in 12 months. We have taken on over 3,000 new customers since May 1, 1917, A part of this’ $1,500,000 expenditure is to be met by the sale of $1,900,000 of our 7% preferred past to our customers. Issuance and sale of this stock has been approved by the Missouri Public Service TERMS OF SALE: It is redeemable by the Preference as to div- distribution of assets. Company at $105 a share. idends is not cumulative. The value of the Company’s property far exceeds the outstanding bonds and preferred stock, including this issue. For each of the last 10 years the Com- pany’s net earnings, applicable to dividends, after paying all bond interest, have been four to five times the $140,000 required to pay 7% on its $1,000,000 of preferred stock © eutstanding and on the $1,000,000 now offered for salé. We have no other pre- ferred stock. Owing to the Company’s policy of ‘Service at its fair cost and not a penny more’, the busi- ness,is rapidly and healthfully growing. THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES ARE NOT “‘WATERED’”’ AND UNDER STATE REGULATION NEVER CAN BE. This 7% preferred has therefore virtually the security of a good bond, with the higher earning power of a good stock. Our first $1,000,000 of 7% preferred' was bought by 1,392 customers, who are now drawing 7% cash dividends, payable quarterly. to get shares of the first $1,000,000. The security high income rate make it likely the second $1,000,000 also will sell quickly.

JOSEPH PULITZER. : April 10, 1907. _ —_ — | LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Cruelty to Animals. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. \Il_ saw lying alongside the car Iverview Gardens this side the ‘Rain of Rocks, a horse, the owner of which should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It lay in the broiling sun unable to even hift its head. This was at 4 p. m. It had been seen by others before noon. How much longer it had lain there I do not know. It was nothing but skin and bones, old and wornout, turned out to die after vears of abuse and hard labor. It had two great sores on its hip and another nearly as bad on the shoulder. Swarms of flies and gnats tormented it. What sort of a man could it be that would let a horse get in that condition and then let it die a herrible lingering death? The Humane Society should note when nnimals are being worked in ar’ unfit con- dition, and not wait until it drops dead in its tracks. From many years’ observation, I think St. Louis has the finest set of policemen of any city this size. In this case they promised to investigate. In other cases they have been more remiss. They are not to be blamed for this. They have to work for their living and when there is no board non public opinion to back them they do not care to take chances. It seems as though there were an undue amount of red tape. There must be the owners’ consent and the appraisal of value, etce., while an animal lies hungry and thirsty and often fearfully wounded while its disposal is being discussed. Policemen are neither infants or imbeciles and I should think their judgment in such mat- ters should be trusted. If they don’t know swhat constitutes cruelty to the poultry and horses of St. Louls, the board might inform them in advance—fire them if they didn't do their duty and statid by them when they did. If people would only put themselves in the animals’ place and experience in their own person all the sores and pain and thirst and wounds and heartache that ani- mals undergo they would each at once be- come a humane society of one and such things would cease.

Economy and thrift—the watchword of fihese times—ought to be exemplified in wach individual of our nation, and as the wffort is ef an educational nature, it should ‘Ye, or is, encouraged and stimulated by the Government in every possible manner, wided by those patrioti: souls who have given their time and talents to the varied movements of conservation. The publicity of the Postal Savings Bank’s advantages and facilities, cover the needs of the mobilized troops in each camp (for in these moving times banks are as necessary as cooks), especially when payday and friends are far away. The propaganda of thrift, should receive con- stant and emphatic approval in each can- tonment, so that frugality and saving would become fixed habits of sygtematic planning for the future, The suggestion that each of the many forts and cantonments be furnished with a postal bank, may be scoffed at by the bank- ers, but after hearing of the experiences wf the boys, who have every inducement to pend, and but few chances to save, even though prudent and economical, a benefi- cent administration should at least try to help them in their good resolves.

Not all the sermons are preached in *echurch. Some, and very good ones, are oc- easiohally delivered by officers of the law. Such a one was addressed by Commissioner Hayes of Boston the other day to a man who had refused to submit to physical ex- amination by a military service board be- cause he was “opposed to war” "YT want you to understand your position clearly, young man,” said the commissioner. “You came to this country of your own ac- cord.

Malone specifies as reasons for his resignation as Collector of Customs at New York, the President’s failure to recommend a Federal suffrage amendment and the treatment accorded the women pickets at the White House. Another viewpoint than Mr. Malone’s would recognize that greater progress has been made in this appealing reform since Mr. Wilson’s inaugu- ration than during any former administration. The year when every political party in Amert- ca pledged itself to votes for women certainly marked a culminating point in the movement and foreshadowed its early prevalence. Another viewpoint than Mr. Malone’s would also admit the force of reasons which urge @ continuance along the lines that have given suc- >| cess in the past and justify a hope that the Fed- eral amendment idea will not prevail, at least for the present. To resign for the causes professed seems whimsical under the circumstances, but that was a matter for Mr. Malone's judgment. If he felt that he had reached a point where he was out of ‘| sympathy with the administration and could no |longer co-operate with it as a collector of the revenues, he ought to get out. Certainly no fault can be found with his letter. He addresses the President in affectionate terms, speaks of his “extraordinary and brilliant leadership” and makes some points that ought to add impetus to the general suffrage move- ment. If we have been impatient with the zeal- ous women at Washington who have persisted in thrusting their particular cause on us in the stress of war, perhaps our irritation should be tempered by one suggestion Mr. Malone makes: If the men of this country had been peace- ably demanding for over half a century the political right or privilege to vote and had been continuously ignored or met with evasion by successive Congresses, as have the women, _ you, Mr. President, as lover of liberty, would be the first to comprehend and forgive their inevitable tmpatience and righteous indigna- tion. In getting out and in getting out in the way he did Mr. Malone has set an excellent example to others who are out of sympathy with the admin- istration on questions of more immediate im- portunity. As the first man in our history to sacrifice a conspicuous and not unimportant office on ac- count of woman suffrage, he is entitled to be held in particular gratitude by the women of America. THINKING IT OVER IN ‘IN GERMANY. The view of the President’s peace note taken by the Potsdam-controlled press of Germany is not the only view to which the German people are receptive. The Berlin Vorwaerts elaborates its former position on the note in phrases that are decidedly interesting: In reality the Wilson note contains nothing that is unacceptable to us. It imposes but one condition and that an extremely accep- table one. As America cannot conquer us and as we have little chance to enter Wash- ington, this carnage is senseless and absurd. When it is proposed to end it by reforms which the German people have demanded for vears, the proposition deserves to be wel- comed. That this is the secret, eyen if unavowed, view of the great majority of the cowed Socialists in Germany may be safely assumed. Of how many others does it represent the view? Of course, merely to admit that the President’s condition is acceptable will never get the German people anywhere. They will have to force its ac- ceptance. Potsdam will never accept. It is prepared to fight to the last. Pomeranian grena- dier before accepting it. —_—_—_—_--—-——-$ ¢o-—_____---_- -- A WAR FOR EVERYBODY. War, in the days of the hauberked knight and belted earl, was purely an affair for fighting men, with perhaps a few noncombatant horse tenders and spear sharpeners on the side-lines. How vastly different today! Now the conflict calls not ‘only the soldier from his barracks but the chiropodist from his tiny office, the cabaret dancer from the sawdust floor and imitation palm trees, the alienist from ‘his consulting room and the analytical chemist from his laboratory. It is not that these men have been drafted in- to the national army; they have been summoned to méet special needs of the army in the field. Scientific students of war have determined that corns, bunions and callouses impair the efficiency of a marching arfhy to such.an extent as to im- peril the success of a great undertaking. Thus the call for the chiropodist. Other men, wise in the ways of wars, have dis- covered that with constant work and no play Sammy becomes a dull boy afd)loses a great deal of that enthusiasm that is so necessary for a dashing charge. Thus it has been decided to in- stall vaudeville theaters in thaarmy cantonments and the call has gone forth for trained enter- tainers. Recently the Government bired a well- known actor at a large salary to take charge of the entertainment features at an Eastern camp. Cowardice, it has been ascertained, is a mental sickness that can be isolated and cured by alien- ists. Therefore, the United States has rounded up seme of the greatest alienists in America to give the new national army the once or twide over. The need of the chemist and other scientists is obvious in these days of high explosives. It is apparent that this war, as far as tM United States is concerned, is not a war of class- es and professions. It is a war for all and there is none who cannot do his bit for his country. ——-—--- © ——-- NEXT YEAR’S OROPS. Representative Doolittle of Kansas has in- troduced an amendment to the draft law de- signed to exempt farm laborers as a class. It was referred to the Military Committee. President Wilson has expressed himself as loath to favor the exemption of farm workers, ee ‘gen of the United States. “When you came here you were pr presi «te obey the laws of the country and - @itizen to serve her if she called upon ti = to do so.

Shall we have to rely upon the women for a large part of this necessary work? Will it be possible to keep up our preduction /~ foods under such a handicap? If food production is really as important in this world war as actual fighting, as everyone admits, can we afford NOT to exempt the only men who are accustomed to the heavy work of bringing out of the soil and garnering the wheat, the corn and all the other raw food products? + «++. i a J Germany’s idea of a durable peace is probably one that is unendurable to the rest of the world. = = = — a MAYOR MOLLMAN’S INDICTMENT. The indictment of Mayor Moliman by the grand jury which investigated the East St. Louis riots is a stern reminder to officials that the duty to preserve the peace is not to be evaded in times of public excitement. | It is not charged that the Mayor had any participation in the disorders that disgraced his town. So far as is known he is credited with no utterances interpreted as inciting to or condon- ing the disturbance. The accusation to which he must answer at the bar is that, invested with responsibility for law enforcement and with the authority to protect the residents of the city, he ignored his responsibility and failed to use his powers for the suppression of the trouble. There is no doubt that energetic, capable action by the authorities of East St. Louis would. have minimized, perhaps prevented, the riots. Why should*they not be held to a serious accounting with the law for the hundred lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property lost in part through their own remissness? An interesting indictment is that of the Mayor’s secretary for preventing photographs from being taken while the riots were in progress. To smash cameras and assault newspaper and other pho- tographers has become a frequent practice in time of public agitation. The serious charge against the secretary for following this practice is that he destroyed evidence of the commission of grave crimes or at least prevented such evidence from being preserved. Thé@ grand jury ended as it began its work, with a determined and highminded purpose to vindi- cate the law and remove from the community the reproach of shocking occurrences that have been everywhere condemned. e+¢e+e¢ 7 MORE GERMAN EFFIOIENOY. The Count Luxburg messages prove once more that, in matters of international policy, Berlin is an arrant blunderer. The letters are amusing as well as enlightening. It will now be the turn of the former Argentine Foreign Minister to ask, “Who's an ass?” Lux- burg is made supremely mdiculous by the ex- posure of his messages, while the Minister is vindicated. The Luxburg policy, which he advised Berlin to follow at the critical moment when Argentine’s friendship was of the greatest importance to Germany—to sink Argentina’s little merchant ships without leaving a tell-tale trace above the waves—was the silliest sort of statesmanship, if one can so designate advice such as a gang of murderers might adopt when they whisper among themselves that “dead men tell no tales.” | and | felt assured that such advice would shock no one | And Luxburg evidently knew his Berlin, on the Wilhemstrasse. As for Sweden, it will be hard for her to clear | in- | cluding the United States, upon whom she must | her skirts of treachery towards the allies, rely for her financial and economic existence, unless she intends to go over bag and baggage to the Teutonic alliance. The incident shows that German diplomats have taken no warning from the Zimmerman ex- posure. They are still fain to indulge in the sins of arrogant dabbling in world politics, treachery | to nations to whom they are accredited, and even, as in Luxburg’s case, counsels of cold-blooded murder. eee ~~ BRUTALITY AND BEER. The prohibitionists are making much of a re- cent article by Prof. Reginald Daly of Harvard, in which he charges German official brutality to beer drinking. He says that the crimes com- mitted by the German ruling classes, in the war, can only be explained by the fact that tney have for decades béeft poisoned by beer. He adds it is the alcohol in the beer that does the mischief, so that this indictment ought to lie equally against the alcoholic liquors used by other na- tions who consume as much alcohol per capita | as do the Germans. That beer does not poison all German minds, making them brutal, is evident from what we have read of German soldiers weeping at the sight of the horrors brought about by the obedi- ence of their troops to the commands of their officers in the days of the Belgian invasion. And quite a number of submarine commanders have acted as humanely as the circumstances would permit, in the sinking of merchant ships. A majority fn the German nation are as normally humane as the people of other countries. The leaders and soldiers in the Allies’ armies have not manifested the brutality shown by the Germans, and the American leaders and sol- diers will certainly not exhibit such brutality This suggests the question whether, instead of the German beer drinking being the cause of the German brutality, it ‘may not be the other way about. May it not be that the brutal trend of mind in some Germans induces them to become beer sots and to feed their babies beer instead of milk, as Prof. Daly says they do? Grant, Washington, Jackson, Jefferson and many other men who were both great and hu- mane have been drinkers. Why did they not ex- hibit the brutality of the Prussian leaders? Was it because no amount of beer could. make them brutal, and no lack of beer could humanize the men who, among other things, ordered the mur- der of the women and babies on the Lusitania, in Belgium, Servia and Armenia? The poet Tennyson drank and. smoked. Tolstol A truly humane man may eat and drink anything, or abstain, without changing bis nature, And $h¢ same is-true of the born brute. —— —eeeEE = a! DIVINE RIGHT IN A SECOND FLOOR FLAT. A. JUST A MINUTE MR. ANTWINE ON DUNDERHEADS. 6¢ OME distinction should be attempted in the S country at this time between copperheads and dunderheads,’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘We have both, and for the purpose of putting each in its proper classification I am going to see what I can do with it. ‘‘We are at present calling all those copperheads who are not altogether with us. This includes with those frankly against us all those occupying some middle ground between loyalty and disloyalty. The most of-the latter are not, really copperheads at all. They are dunderheads. Théy are unable to see that at such a time there is no middle ground, and that one not wholly with us is in effect, against us. ‘‘This is the case, I think, with some of our United States Senators. They are not actually pro-German, but lack the gumption to see that they just as well would be. This is dunderheadedness, a quality ex- tremely dangerous in responsible place when the country is at war. It is, indeed, even more dangerous than copperheadedness for being tolerated longer. ‘‘A copperhead, then, is one who is against the country, while a dunderhead is one, who cannot see what the country itself sees clearly enough—that Prussianism must be put down if the world is to have any measure of peace. Unfortunately, the result is the same, though a dunderhead can’t see it. If he could, he would not be a dunderhead. A copperhead is anything but a dunderhead. He is against the country, and wants it to fail of the objective for which it is fighting. He sees very clearly what the country sees, and doesn’t want it. ‘*Both Stone and La Follette are perfect examples of the dunderhead. Neither is out and out for the Kaiser, but both are unable to see what the country itself sees very plainly. The result is seen in Charles Edward Russell's declaration a few days ago that Riga was taken by United States Senators. Of course, meither of these men sees that. If they could, they wouldn't be dunderheads. Mr. Reed is another dun- derhead. He can’t see what the rest of the country secs to be expedient in the matter of food, and he fights just as hard as the Kaiser would fight if he had a voice jn the debate, To call this sort "of thing Written for the POST-DISPATCH. by Clark McAdams * —_ = —~- a ee or ag eg a —- copperheadedness is not to understand what copper- heads are.

This fact was called to the attention of the Treasurer of the United States: but the Government has no desire or intention to recall the money in order that gold of the standard value may be in circulation. Should this gold be presented to the treas-— ury or subtreasuries, its owners would be the losers because of the enormous wear caused by abrasions in circulation. While the Government does not require that gold coins should be of standard we'ght to be © redeemed at their face value, it has estab- . lished what is known as a “limit of tolers «= % ance” which permits a loss in weight of one- Pre fal half of one per cent. Below that limit, the — * "e treasury makes a reduction at the oate a ie four cents a grain.

Puss Black's little mistress dearly, loved her, but she did not like Puss’ and every time she saw Puss Black watching the tree or climbing she would call to her and tell her good pussies did not do bad things. One morning Mrs. Robin Redbreast knew she could no longer put off giving her babies their first lesson in flying; her little ones were stretch- ing their wings and standing on the edge of the nest trying to fly as their mother and father did, and Mrs. Robin was afraid they might try when she was away some day and fall to the ground into the waiting claws of Puss Black. “We will have to watch . Puss Black,” she told her husband, ‘“‘and when she goes in the house for her dinner we will give the children their first lesson.”’ There were five little Robins in the nest, and one by one Mrs. Robin saw them flutter their little wings and land safely on another limb of the apple tree. “Now, children,” she said, “I want you to try to fly to the next tree, for I wish to take you all out of this yard to live in a tree where there are no pussies rnear until you are strong enough to fly about and look out for yourselves. One by one they flew to the next tree, and Mrs. Robin and her hus- band had four of them safely out of the yard in the tree across the road but just as the fifth little robin stretched his wings and started to fly, Puss Black came out of the door and looked straight into the tree. Puss knew it would take only a minute to reach the limb of the tree where the baby robin sat, and she did not fear at all the father and mother bird, though they circled around her very near the ground. Puss tried her claws on the trunk of the tree, and then she began to climb. She had reached the branch where the little Robin sat helpless and frightened when her little mis- tress, hearing the chatter of the mother and father Robins, came out of the house. “Puss Black,” she called, “come here.”” But Puss was too close to having what she coveted and would not mind. Her little mistress stood very still and looked at the baby robin, when suddenly a big apple which hunx right over Puss, Black's head dropped and struck her such a blow that Puss almost fell from the limb. Puss Black did not stop to see what had struck her; she scrambled to the ground and ran as fast as she could under the steps. Puss Black's little mistress did not punish her, as Mrs. Robin, who had watched all that had happened, ex- pected she would. Instead, the lit- tle mistress came to the tree and rack. | “Puss Black,” she said, “you know | you were doing a wicked thing when. you went after the baby robin, and. your black, wicked thoughts brough: | the apple on your head, and it hurt. you. If you want to be happy and comfortable, think good and do good and you will not bring suffering on yourself.”’ Puss Black purred and looked up) at her little mistress as if to say: am going to be a good puss after | this. me who thinks good all about me, who could be pussie ?’’ (Copyright, 1917. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) the time | a bad | A’ 'day, said: | | “Mr. Howells is as modest as ke is-+ | gifted. | . : : drew nis pencil through certain oer | ea With a little mistress about | | | honest he is.—Boston Globe.

I) mato ana conditions of the) scalp and color of the hair demand widely different treat- ments, and this also includes the shampoo and semi-monthly washing of the hair. For the ordinary scalp in good or fair condition once two weeks is not too often to wash the hair, providing |- the shampoo mixture is of the prop- er sort and not strong enough to ir- ritate the scalp and dry the hair. For this reason women should learn to shampoo their own hair at home, and they will then know just what is being used on it and can watch the consequences and remedy any trou- ble that may arise. The exceedingly oily scalp may be shampooed more often, but this is more for a matter of personal pride in the appearance of the hair than for any real beenfits, because the less irritation of all kinds to the oily scalp the better. Any good shampoo naturally gives the scalp a certain amount of stimulation and irritation, otherwise it could not be made clean. Every woman should own a bath spray. It is a good investment, cheap and is the ONLY way to get the soap from long halir. First brush the hair free from dust and tangles and then wet it with a strong flow of very warm water, shaking at the forehead to get it wet all the way through to the scalp. Then pour on some of the warm melted soap shampoo and work the fingers thrd the hair to the scalp, using extra pressure at the top of the head, over the ears and at the nape of the neck. Do not use the nails and irritate the scalp. This is not necessary. Then wash the ends of the hair with clean soapsuds and follow this with a strong spray of hot water to remove the soiled soap. Next pour some clean shampoo mixture on the hair and proceed as above. Follow this with~a clear spray of hot water for at least five minutes, shaking the hair mean- while. Then spray with cold water and dry with a smooth hand towel. sas City Star. | BACHELOR GIRL REFLECTIONS By Helen Rowland, - two things that nobody cah learn anything about except by personal experience. My two: ent and death are No matter how you camouflage it, you can’t make an ornament out of a phonograph any more than you can out of a broom or a husband. A man spends his boyhood in struggling against an education, his youth in struggling against matrimony, his middle age in struggling against baldness and embonpoint, but sooner or later he succumbs to all of them, diarie! Singing a war ballad is no more a sign that a man is feeling pa- triotic than singing a love song Is a sign that he is in love; in either case he may be inspired merely by a desire to listen to his own voice. A woman can forgive a man for anything on earth if he will just keep her waiting long enough for the opportunity to “forgive” him. What no man can understand is how the “weaker sex” can walk around all day on stilts, lunch on a nut sundae and sleep on magic waves, and yet get up in the morn- ing feeling fresh and _ strong enough to do it all over again. Whereas the “stronger sex” is the one that is never. strong enough to put the studs in his own shirts, ‘turn on its own shower bath, clean its own safety razor or hunt for its own slippers before it has had its morning cup of coffee. The smile on the face of the de- parting soldier is bright and airy beside that grim, determined “glow of happiness”’ an the face of the departing bridegroom just as the camera snaps. , For men must entrench and women retrench—so runs the war along! Beads Were First Used in Form of Money ad word bead comes from an old English word ‘bede,’’ mean- ing prayer. They are probably of prehistoric origin and are found !n almost every country. As we know, our own American Indians used beads as wampum, made from vio- let and white shells, for a means of exchange. It has sometimes been suggested that wampum was not made until after the Indians came in contact with European settlers, but there is strong evidence to show that the Indians themselves. originated this form of shell currency. T wo dictionary tells us that the Beads are found in Egypt, Persia, India and various other Eastern countries, in ruins that date to ore- historic times. They have alwzys been considered possessive of strane powers. Blue beads are worn in India to ward off the evil eye. Beads made of shells are worn to avoid any sort of evil. Anything that comes from the sea, argue the Hindoos, was pur. and, therefore, a good antidote for the powers of darkness. White beads made from the bones of the flying fox are used by those suffering front rheumatism or pains in the joints. Carnelian beads insure wakefulness, the Hindoos believe, and if one of them must keep a bedside or othar all-night vigil he always wears Cuar- ':. nelian beads to help him stay awake. It is noticeable about the beads from India that they are never per- fect. This is not the result of any in- ability to make them so, but is sim- ply because the Hindoo never makes anything perfect. Bad luck he thinks necessarily comes to anyone who attains perfection, and if he writes a letter he blots; if\he weaves a rug he leaves a bit of the pattern, as we all know, unfinished. : From their ancient use as medicli- nal agents and as a means of barter —not only the North American In- dians but almost all savages took beads as exchange for commoditi 4, and even the Phoenician traders used them as money——-beads have gore into the class of frivolous ornamenta- tion. Of course, there is the excep- tion of the rosary.
