OME soldiers marched through the streets of a small French town today. Soldiers are no Ss new thing in that town, but these were the soldiers of three nations, and their passing was a symbol, just as the passing pageants of England hundreds of years ago were symbols. | It was early morning when the first soldiers passéd.

But suddenly the old man forgot his cows, the woman dropped her wheelbarfow with a thud, unheeding that one of the mail sacks had burst open and the letters were spilling in the street; the boy pulled -vp his horse: with a jerk. All stared in the same directiofi. Soldiers were They must have been,on the same train with the boches, but they-marched so silently that one saw them before one heard them. These soldiers wore khaki, but of a new color, and their hats—one never had seen such hats; of felt, with a pointed crown, like the hat the hotel keeper’s daughter had_ just brought from Paris. And she had said it®was a hat “comme Americaine,” the newest mode in compliment to the new allies from across the ocean, who had just arrived. The boy with the load of charcoal understood ‘it first. “Voila, les Americains; les Americains!” he shouted, and the marching soldiers grinned and shouted back to him, “Hello, Francois!” On down the street they came, these Ameri- Otherwise it was quite quiet. a “HaveNo Fear, »Rumanial Thy|—— Children Will Free Thee” Queen MarieVoices Exiles’ Spirit, “Deeply hast thou dviunh of thy children’s blood ; but they are ready that deeply thou shouldst drink again if, with the sacrifice of their lives, they can buy back thy freedom.” or aa eee : Queen Marie giving peasant soldier his dinner in a hospital.

There were many of them, all with those strange hats, with rifles and bayonets, real soldiers The whole street was filled with khaki, from the gare to the corner, where the other soldiers had turned. The sun came through the mist and shone on rifle barrels and bayonets. | They were all young men, with clean, honest looking faces, and they smiled and waved to the old: men and women and. children who crowded the narrow sidewalk. They pointed out to one another the faded ol@ French flag and the new American ‘one in the, window ofthe Cafe: of the Three Friends and smiled more broadly. Some of them’ cheered and said “Hur-ray!’ whitch one knew meant “Vive!” so one shouted back “Vive l’Amerique!” and the men in khaki smiled again. l All Are Smiling. : | _— All the people were out in the street now, smiling back and waving to the soldiers. If only they had known, they said, Monsieur le Maire should have been ready to make a little speech and there’ should have’ been more flags: for:the Americans. The men in khaki turned the cor- ner still marching lightly with. scarcely a sound,’ ‘but turning to wave their hands and smfle before they disappeared. ‘ The town had not had such a day since on2 day in April when the postmaster put up a big paper on which one read that the Ameri- cans’ were going to join France and fight the boche, and now hére were the Americans, just as they had promised. How young they were, and how they smiled. It ‘was true’ then that they were to stay a little while? Yes, and then they, noiseless tread of youth, with those smiling young faces, to fight the boche. ‘Then the boches would see. These Americans were so young and strong, and there were so many of them; millions, one heard. Soon the tired men in blue would come from the gare and would never have to go back again, and they ‘could ‘take the cows out in the morning and drive the wheelbarrows and carry the heavy loads of wood. And the boches perhaps even they wopid not be so stupid and stolid and there would be no more war—because the men in blue and the men in khaki would win, and it would be ta vietoire. So one smiled, too) like the Americans. That is what the Americans brought io one little town. There are many such towns in ‘France. , - (Copyright, 1917.) PRING is coming! The snow is melting, the s air is full of sounds of life! Like a warm promise the sun smiles down upon those who long to-hope. How is it possible not to. hope when the gras@ is sprouting and the birds beginning to build their nests? Like a hideous nightmare that on awakening we leave behind us with the darkness of night, this winter that had thrown its chains about us retreats ever further as we go forward into the growing light. It is to me as though I saw’many’faces, with different expressions, all turned toward this resurrection of light. Tired faces, suffering faces, faces with eyes that have looked closely at death—but besides them there are also the faces of children and other faces—of those who can smile, of those who can hope and of those whc can forget. Even into the most hidden corner does the new light carry its message of hope. Out of dank, dark hovels miserable creatures crawl forth to stare with wonder at the sun, for so long had he forgotten to shine upon those whose sufferings can only be equaled by the patience with which those sufferings were borne. The mud and.the filth of their surroundings become less. sordid; I have seen ghostly faces lifted toward the skies as though some great joy were hiding behind the clottds. Even the beggar’s outstretched hand seems .to be extended rather toward the growing warmth than toward the scarce coin thrown him by those hurrying by. But above all it is the faces of our soldiers that I seem to see; of those quiet, uncomplaining heroes who more than any other have suffered from the winter’s snows. yi —— | Watching, Always Watching. } }s0 I see them at daybreak in their far off trench- es, gazing at the sun that each morning rises a little earlier to announce to them that cold and frost. and endless night will’ soon be a thing of’ the past. I saw their’ eyes, that have that special expression of those who are accustomed to watch, who are closely acguainted with danger, who have buried many a comrade and who have overcome every fear./ Steady eyes, like the eyes of eagles accustomed to contemplate horizons a great way off. What is he thinking of, that silent sentry lean- ing on his gun? Was he, perhaps, in happier days a shepherd faithfully guarding his flock? Or was he a peaceful ‘laborer me at dusk re- { turned to the children xe loved? Has he a vision of his village whtre his cottage lies hidden beneath fruit trees just bursting into bud? Is it perchance in a far-off region which the enemy has overrun, and as he looks at the sun rising. over.the mountain is he wondering who has care of those he left unprotected? Who: feeds them. Who clothes them? Who dries their tears? Perhaps he has an old, old mother who each evaning comes out to sit on ) her doorstep. in the vague hope of seeing him come back: * * * Spring is coming! Who will till his field, sow his maize, feed his oxen? Who will tread the path leading to his home? Who will knock at his door? Spring is coming! The woods will soon be full of tiny blue flowers which his children will gather into bunches; but the flowers will wither, for the village is de- serted, no one is passing that way. Spring is coming! And still other faces do I see turned toward its growing light and the hope that it brings. These are also the faces of soldiers, but thin, emaciated, pale as death, the faces of those who have stood every hardship and who, after-iong weeks of illness, are slowly creep- ing back to life. These are the faces with which I am best acquainted, which I have hunted up in desolate corners where many dread to go, faces over which I have bent in place of the old, old mother who every evening on her doorstep pa- tiently waits.in vain. * * * ss With ‘parched lips these lonely sufferers have spoken to me about their homes, about their children, about the. wives they ‘long to see. They have clung to my hands and kissed them; they have called me “mother,” begging for tid- ings of their loved ones, begging for consola- tion, begging for hope * * * and I have en- deavored to comfort them, feeling that my words had more meaning when the sun shone brightly without. Over there is it also springtime! Over there in the regions we have lost. The sun will be shining, the birds will ‘be singing as though no mighty Spirit of Death had passed over the earth! Yet over there! In spite of sunshine and the calling of voices of spring, this year our Ru- manian soil will have a tragic awakening—our blessed: Rumanian soil! When the plow of the stranger will tear it asunder, forcing it to bring forth fruit for the hated foe, a cry of anguish will rise from its depth, a cry of protest, a cry of despair; and its banished children will hear it and understand its meaning! Their hearts will thrill with the holy desire to free it from bondage, to save it from the humillatfon of having to give its riches to feed those who tor- ture its women, starve its children, burn its villages and cast a shadow over its name! Yes, indeed, blessed are thou, oh, Rumanian soil! Thy bounteousness has no limit. Like an allloving mother dost thou give, and art al- ‘ways ready to give again; the smallest seed in- trusted to thy bosom a hundredfold brings forth its fruit, and if thy weeds are nearly as plente- ous as thy flowers, it is just because thy gen- erosity is so great. Have no fear, oh! soil of Rumania! Thy chil- dren will come and free thee from thy chains! It is the message of spring. They will not weaken, they will not tremble before the struggle that still has to be.

ByCLAIR KENAMORE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. . FUNSTON, Kan., Sept. 29. AMP FUNSTON may be accepted as a typ- achievement of America at war. It is so big, so new, so raw and so fearfully In earnest. It is like a boom town thrown hurriedly together near a gold strike, but much bigger than any boom town ever was, and the uniformity of the buildings at once removes any impression of carelessness. . Many years ago the Government acquired 25,000 acres of land here and placed the army post thereon. This was known as Fort Riley. On one edge of the reserve is the confluence of the Smoky Hill Creek and the Republican River. Below the junction the steam is the Kansas River, better known as the Kaw. Fort Riley was placed on the limestone hills, near the junction of the rivers, and the fine buildings, barracks, dofficers’ quarters, stables and riding halls are built of the easily-worked, cream- colored limestone. A mile from Fort Riley is a monument marking the geographical center of the United States. The Union Pacific Railway, on its transconti— nental way, passes through the reservation, pro- ceeding between the river and a long, steep, low ridge, which parallels it. The reservation -has been used for many years as an assembling point for militia organizations, and for war games in which both the regulars and guardsmen took part. On more than one occasion a smart officer of the regulars has had the humiliation of being defeat- ed, in the opinion of the umpire, by a militia officer. \ | Transformation of Ogden Flats. These games spread over the whole reservation and pitched infantry battles usually took place on Pawnee Fiats of Ogden Flats, which is a larger alluvial plain three miles below. The river is very near the railroad at the lower end of Pawnee Flats. Then it swings sharply out and is more than a mile distant from a stretch of four miles, where it again swings toward the tracks. Ogden Flats is the portion of land: that lies between the river and the ridge. Four months ago there was not a building on it. Now there are 2000, and the construction work will not be finished for two weeks. For two months the payroll of the concern which is erecting the cantonment has exceeded $85,000 a day. Carpenters were paid 75 cents an hour, and other skilled laborers received about the same. Unskilled laborers got 37% cents an hour at times, 15,000 men were em- ployed. These men, Ms at the camp, and in all the towns within 15 miles. The line of automobiles in which they came to work stretched for a mile along the road. Four months ago the population of Ogden Flats consisted of rabbits and quail. Now 20,000 men live there and there will be 560,000 before snow flies. Major-General Leonard Wood is the lead- ing citizem of Ogden Flats, or Camp Funston, as it is known now, and with him are a few Briga- dier-Generals and Colonels, many Majors and Captains and an almost unbelievable profusion of Lieutenants. The bulk of the population is made up of the drafted men from the states of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari- zona and South Dakota, who are taking their first lessons to fit them for the ancient trade of war. It is a pleasant enough view that one gets from Camp Funston, but doubtless each drafted man “know one fairer far.” The low, rounded Kansas hills lie across the river, blue and misty in the late September haze, Fort Riley is set in what appears to be a thick wood, and there are patches of trees along the river. | The Commanding General's Cottage. || ‘Half way up the slope of the ridge there has peen bullt for the Commanding General a wide one-story cottage with screened porches all around it. This building is painted green, but every other one in the camp is the raw color of un- painted pine boards. The endless rows of barracks buildings are made up of great two-story structures, which are to be the homes of the 60,000 men to be stationed here. The main structures are not divided into rooms. Each floor is the bedroom, living room and home of half a company. The officers quar- ters are divided into rooms, each of which is oc- ‘cupied by two men. Each barracks has its bathhouse and its cook- house and its dining room. It has been said that a private soldier has but one privilege left, the right to grumBle, This is invariably exercised to the fullest, and many of the new men complain bitterly of the food pro- vided for them. This will pass away, for at Camp Funston, where there are shortages of clothing and equipment, there is plenty of good “el The bread and the meat come dally from Ka "| City, and all the things that go to make 4 ae meals are the best that the country , + The boy who goes from a prosperous, comfortable , home will have an abundance of wholesome food of a better quality than his brothers and sisters at home can buy. No “hard bread” is used. This variety, which attained an unpleasant fame in the Civil War, is for the field. = Second Largest City in Kansas. By the last of October Camp Funston, a hay field, will be the largest city in Kansas with the exception of Kansas City. This adju the Missouri city has 82,000 inhabitants at the last census, and Camp Funston and Fort Riley to- gether may have as a large a population by the first of the year. The pay of the drafted men alone will exceed $1,600,000 a month, for this will be a city where every inhabitant is a wage- earner, and the men will all be between the ages of 21 and 31, all in the same line of business, and all with the same mission. In accordance with the wishes of the Commander @ad as a result of the work of the officers, they will be athletes, each to the extent of his powers, and each with his combative and competitive instinct developed to the extent of his temperament. x Fifty thousand men of that sort require a lot of handling. Sixteen theaters will offer amusement, and Y. M. C. A. buildings will extend their far- reaching hospitality, with desks, writing paper and a sign on the wall “Write to Mother Today,” The post exchanges, regimental or company, carry candy and similar delicacies. Popcorn and peanut wagons, each chartered by some company or regimental fund, offer their wares, and there will be boxing contests without number to divert the lonesome soldier. On either side of the Government reservation are the towns of Junction City and Manhattan. An electric car line 24 miles long-connects them. Camp Funston is on this line, seven miles from Junction City. . Both these towns are in bad favor with the officers of the post and camp, be- cause of the sharp manner in which they have ad- vanced the prices of the articles which the sol- diers Wish to buy. As a result, it is possible that thé men will be kept from these places and wil! find amusement in their camp. Every soldier, despite the hard work he will do, has two and a half hours of his own every evening, and longer time on Saturdays and holi- days. All other hours not devoted to sleep will be spent. by each man in making himeelf a fit ant vabaney soldier, City of of Diverse Activities. : diverse activities. Five thousand carpenters, at 75 cents an hour, are shooting up the frame bulld- Ditch-digging machines are cutting the way for sewers and water pipes; a gang of Mex- icans is pushing a rock bed for an asphalt road through the length of the camp; in muddy streets and open places back of the buildings, Sergeants are teaching the new men the A B C of the drill: in groups about the camp, young officers are listening to lectures by older men on the art and science of war; and in other buildings older offi- cers are listening with grave attention to Frenoh and English officers who have done their bits and won their ribbons and scars. Just now the company and regimental streeta are clogged with mud, due to @ recent rain, but when they are dry, or after they have been sur- faced, they will furnish quick passage ways to all portions of the camp. This is essential, as the flimsy nature of the structures make the fire danger a very real and present one. In addition to a set of extremely strict rules, which is regarded as the greatest protection there is a fine fire department, with auto truc and uniformed men, waiting at the end of a fire alarm system. The site of the camp 8 sometimes submerge by a rise of the Kansas River. There is said tb be no danger of such an inundation at this sea- son of the year, but to be on the safe side, an 8-foot levee is to be put dround the lower side of the camp immediately. , Because there is no great csttioannahe near at hand, St. Louls has not seen much of the move ment of troops and the passage of soldiers, Four years ago, a man in khaki was a noticeable thing on any of our streets. Now one or a dosen 6% cites no comment. But in Kansas City, or in the towns near the camps, the streets are taking on the aspect of a country at war. In raflway ste tions and on trains, the majority of the men are soldiers, while as one nears the cantonnent, the entire male population seems to be military. The smoking rooms are full of officers, old and new. Tales from the four comers of the world are related by the bronzed men for the men etiit only sunburned.

JOSEPH PULITZER. : _ April 10, 1907. eee eee LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Huns of Classic Lore. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Permit me to state once what and who a Hun is. The people called Huns appear in history in the fifth century of our era. Whence they came and whither they went is, impossible to assert. The only descrip- tion we have them is by Ammianus Mar- cellinus, a Roman historian, of the fourth century. He says: “The Huns live beyond the sea of Azow, on the borders of the frozen ocean. In their earliest infancy deep incisions are made in the cheeks of their boys so that when the time comes for their Leard to grow the sprouting hairs may be kept back by the furrowed sears, and therefore they grow beard- less. They are of gréat size, but short- ‘legged—that you ‘might fancy them to bé—two-legged beasts; or figures which hewn out rudé with an ax at the end of bridges. ‘They do, however, just bear the likeness of’men (horrible and ugly they be), but they make no use of fire atid live on raw horse meat and roots. The horse meat they merely soften a little by placing it betwen their own thighs and the bare backs of their horses. They do not live in houses and never enter one. They wear as cloth the skin of field mice sewn together. When once such a garment is put on, it is never changed till from long decay it falls to pieces. They are always on their horses; on horseback they Luy and sell, eat and drink or fight and even sieep. On horseback toothey dis- cuss and deliberate. They fight irregu- lar but terrific wars and avoid fortified Places and entrenchments. No one ever plow or touches a tool of agriculture. They are. treacherous and inconstant and like brute beasts ignorant of the distinction between right and wrong. They have great, difficulty to express themselves, have no respect for relig- fon, crave gold and are so fickle that each one fights several times a day to reconcile himself with his happiness. Their principal ornament is lard from horses which they smear heavily over their hair. A bardensinger (the newspaper of those days) says about the Huns: “Ugly is their face and uglier their body. Children won't take the breast of their mothers any more as blood breaks out of them. Misformed and full of sores their children are born. Under such conditions it is not exactly pleasant to be called a Hun DR. A. SIEBERT. “Inner St. Louls.”: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your article on “Inner St. Louis” is very deserving of comment, as it is really high time that the clergy came to their senses and realize their own shortcomings. In my section of town there are very few church edifices and most religious work is atreet work, receiving little or no encour- agément from the clergy, much less the passerby. It is easy for one who knows to’ realize and-marvel at the growth of Socialism and such doctrines fn these sections. If parishioners, especially em- ployers, would look. more to their employes’ welfare there is little doubt but that the community would be far better off, both socially and spiritually. SIXTH WARD. P From a Soldier's Wife. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. tl was very glad to see in Friday's Post- Dispatch a letter from Mr. Thornton Small- ey in behalf of the wives of drafted men. My husband has been called away and I, too, am proud that he was physically fit and able to go, and even though he could have claimed exemption. I have looked many times for one word to cheer the wives who were left behind, but I have never seen it. 1 am glad to know there is another couple who felt as we did. Let's hear — more of the wives. MRS. . Street Indicators for Cars. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I noticed recently several letters in your columns, in which people suggested that street car conductors call out street names. Why not be up to date, and have street indicators at front end of cars over front door that indicate each street as car ap- proaches street? That would show all pas- sengers just where they are, and show strangere where they are. Such a device could be installed at low cost and operated by. the motorman without interference with his work. Several such devices are avail- able, operated by a cord, like a gong cord. people can’t hear conductors call streets, and tesides, they usually call out wee telligible names that nobody can un- @erstand. If the city becomes a partner , i street car company, an ordinance 1 be passed to compel indicators to be R. W. BORCHERT. nothing. THE TRAITOR IN HIGH PLACE, _Col. Roosevelt. is matching his splendid service in preaching preparedness by his message of patri- otism which he is delivering throughout the coun- try. There is no question of the Colonel’s American- ism. Itissound. It rings true at every point. If he inclines to an extreme of fervor which leads him into strong expressions of his views it is | prompted by sincere enthusiasm and devotion to his country. One of the best features of his work is his ex- posure and denunciation of citizens of the United States, particularly in public life, who are betray- ing the country and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In nailing their treasonable utterances and conduct and branding them as traitors, Col. Roosevelt is doing a courageous and necessary work. | The most conspicuous example of the traitor in high place is Senator La Follette who is adding to his congressional labors in behalf of Germany public speeches which more befit a junker mem- ber of the Reichstag than a member. of the American Congress. He opposed war measures in Congress and is justifying Germany and con- demning the United States on the public platform. The Senator excuses Germany’s unscrupulous at- tacks on American rights, her assaults on the sovereignty and safety of the republic and her ruthless murder ,of Americans. He condemns America’s entrance into the war and thus denies the justice of our cause and the soundness of the policy which led us to warfare and makes it im- perative that we win the war. Work of this kind is to be condemned in the humblest citizen, but when it is done by a United States Senator who is presumed to represent American sentiment, it is a blow at the country’s vitals. ” Criticism of the conduct of the war and of acts of public officials, from the standpoint of hon- esty or effitiency are legitimate, but when the country is at war and the issues have been made by the Government, Americans, especially public men in positions of trust and honor, who justify the enemy and condemn their country’s causes are guilty of betrayal. Whether they share the spoils or not they are serving the enemy and pro- moting the propaganda-for which Germany has expended millions in North and South America. Senator La Follette and his senatorial kind dis- grace the Senate, shame the peoples of their states and menace their country. They should, at least be retired to private life where the harm they attempt is minimized. = = * aS a A FIGHTERS’ MORATORIUM BILL. Multitudinous needs have been provided for in the vast amount of legislation enacted by the present Congress. Even the financial needs of the entente Governments have been met on a scale | of unprecedented generosity. It is not until nearly six months after the declaration of war that any move has been made toward protecting our sol- diers in the financial obligation contracted while they were yet civilians. Snatched with little warning from the activities and ambitions of civil life, how is the recruit on $30 a month to keep up the payments for the land he has bought on contracts, the interest and in- stallments on his mortgage? How is he going to meet his taxes and the premiums on policies for fire and life insurance? Bills introduced into both houses of Congress establish a “moratorium” for our fighters. No property may be sold for nonpayment of taxes, no land contract or insurance policy forfeited or mortgage foreclosed, to the detriment of a soldier during the period of his service. No family of a soldier may be evicted for nonpayment of rent during that period nor can the statute’ of limi- tations run against any rights a soldier may have in money due or other things during that period: The bill should be passed with all expedition and should be of such scope as to protect any in- terest that may already have been in jeopardy of soldiers who enlisted months ago. A bill of this kind was included in the first of ‘the important war legislation enacted by the European coun- tries. It is not a ground for pride that it will be among the last of the distinctive war measures of this country. ——____---— > g—_—— EXEMPTION FOR PUBLIC SERVICE. The Federal Board of Farm Organizations, representing several powerful groups of agricul- turists, have petitioned President Wilson to broaden the exemption rules so as to keep skilled farmers and farm hands out of the military serv- ice in order that they may do their full duty to the eduntry as food producers. President Wilson has said that he would. like to see all the genuine farmers left at their in- dispensable labors. In his last utterance on the subject he called attention to the fact that Gen- Crowder has. “ingeniously arranged the details of calling to the colors so that the men on the farms will practically all fall within the last group and will, therefore, not have to report for military service until on or about Oct. 1.” What the farmers want, of course, is complete exemption. It is pointed out that next year's crops must be cared for, and that it will be im- possible to maintain food production if the farms are to be depleted of skilled and experienced labor. The Post-Dispatch believes that it would be un. wise to permit the farms to be undermanned. A shortage in men will mean a falling off in food production. On the other hand, {if the farmers expect ex- emption, as a class, on the ground that food production {s a patriotic service, they must show that they intend to give that service in a pa- triotic spirit, recognizing their duty to the na- tion. Of cou they cannot be expected to work for ey are entitled to a geasonable profit, , $2,626,600. Virginia, wi as other workers are. But the example set by the milk producers of Southern Illinois and Mis- souri, who have supplied most of the milk used in St. Louis, is so unpatriotic and so disregard- ful of the public interest, that it should be con- demned by all farmers who hope to be treated as entitled to exemption, for themselves and their help, on the ground of rendering public service. The war has emphasized the fact that food pro- duction and distribution is one of the most im-j| §: portant and vital of public services. The men who have the privilege of using the land and produc- ing, distributing or in any way controlling the péople’s food, are not the men to show a.greedy, unpatriotic spirit at this time. Showing such a spirit, they need look for no Government favor. Exemption can only be granted for real public service. 4 4.4 wwe Lest anyone should think that the decrease in the number of submarine sinkings is due to the fact that fewer ships are afloat, it is worth while to note that more bottoms entered and departed from British perts this week than during the same period last year. DEPLORABLE POLICE BOARD EXHIBIT. The only commendable feature of the lament- faction took reprisals on the minority faction was that it was held in public. Of the motives dis- played and of the several commissioners’ concep- tion the city is enabled to judge with a full knowledge of the facts. It may be that other Police Boards have acted with a similar pettiness and a similar disposition to force a triumph of purely nersonal differences over the best interests of the department. But if so, the controlling spfrit in which administrative details were dictated’ was not thrust quite as pointedly on the public view. One commissioner was demoted from the office of vice president of the board. Two departmental appointees in whom the minority faetion was supposed to have a distinctive interest were dis- missed. The changes even went so far as to in- clude a shakeup in the force.. Four captains said faction were shifted from the police districts to which they have lately been assigned. And to what cause are these vhanges attributed, all voted with a deplorable exhibit of feeling? The starting point was the submission by two commissioners of bills for traveling expenses, one for $52.04 and the other $72.92. Both the com- missioners who, despite objections in the board itself and criticism from the public, insisted on the payment of these claims are wealthy! What an object lesson to the city and especially ‘to the force on moving influences at the very fountain head from which police judgments and disciplinary measures flow! St.. Louis could have afforded to pay several times the $124.96 total of the two bills rather than have éuch an exhibition. sut so much dis- sension having its origin in the two bills, their justice. becomes a matter of magnified impor- tance. They were incurred by the two commis- sioners in coming from temporary out-of-town stopping places to St. Louis to attend a board meeting. They offend the common rule denying travel expenses to public officials who reside at the place where they perform. their duties. If Messrs. Fouke and Mansur had charged up to the city a dozen such bills, or 20 or 40, would anyone deny that they ought not ta be paid? Is a valid protest against «an unwarranted charge on the public to be penalized because the amount is small? Sweden is agitated over the possibility of the United States drafting its subjects in this coun- try for military service. Inasmuch as Berlin was enabled to draft Swedish diplomats for | German service Stockholm has little reason to be excited. a > i A FARM LOAN ACTIVITIES. An intimation that the British financiers are going to recall their loans on American farm land has attracted renewed attention to the activities of the farm loan banks in the South and South- west, where most of the British money is lent. It is estimated that more than $100,000,000 is in- cluded in the amounts to be recalled. Southern Congressman have conferred with Secretary Mc- Adoo about these loans and he has told them that the farmers will be protected, either by persuad- ing the British capitalists to leave their money in this country; by transferring the loans to the farm loan banks, or by a special loan fund from | the Treasury Department until different arrange- | ment can be made. It is significant that Mr, | McAdoo considers the farm loan banks in this connection. The prospect of $100,000,000 of business seems a very large order for as new an institution as the farm loan banks. The Sept. 1 report of these banks indicate that this total would not dismay them. At that time the banks reported that 1200 local farm loan associations had been completed and 4000 were in formation. The completed as- sociations averaged applications for $50,000 loans each. The associations being formed indicated loans amounting to $200;000,000. At the end of August the farm loan banks had in force $7,716{799 in loans. During August appli- cations were made for $23,988,650 and almost $20,- 000,000 of loans were approved. Kansas, from which the first completed loan was reported, has more loans in force than any other state, the total being $1,761,300. During August Kansas asked for $1,247,450. Oklahoma. which also belongs to District No: 9, asked in August for $1,307,635. Montana was the leading State in August applications, the total being $1,- 922,624. Arkangas, which banks through the St. Louis bank, was slow getting started. but during August filed applications for $1,488,030. The Kan- sas-Oklahoma-Colorado-New Mexico district has the largest total of placed loans, the figures being $349,500 loans com- pleted and $491,405 asked in August, is far ahead of any other Eastern state. e$e¢ o _ Von Tirpitz continues to harp on the necessity of the German people retaining their “nerve.” Judging from the Prussian proposal regarding the disposition of Belgium, there is a superabundance of nerve sien: Withelmstrasse, able Police Board meeting at which the majority | to enjoy the special confidence of the minority | ee "ye Soh ae % +e, ch.

Have you noticed that this congestion is increasing each day? The private bridge when rebuilt will in a few years be unable to handle the traffic at St. Charles. No point in the State on the Missouri river is crossed by as many autos as here. Would it not be a splendid idea to have the State build a memorial free bridge for its centennial, connecting a free high- way over the Missouri River with the Old Trails— Boonslick, Red Bale and Santa Fe Trails road? It would be a great benefit to the entire State. I advo- cated this last November at Kansas City, but St. Louis and St. Charles seem too slow about taking up the proposition.

EW of us have seen the new State capitol at 2 Jefferson City, and it is not therefore possible for many of us to realize the extent to which this beautiful structure is going to influence the fu- ture of Jefferson City itself. Those old Missourians who located the State capital at that point were not blind to its possibilities. Jefferson City sits on a hill, and crowning that hill is the great gray dome of the capitol, visible from all the country around. Maybe there are other domes as soft and lovely as that which Mr. Swarthout has given Missouri, but they don’t impinge themselves on the sky with any great fre- quency. Judge Arthur M. Hough of Jefferson Oity has just set the community an example by giving it 50 acres near the capitol for a city park. What we shall all wake up to find at Jefferson City some of these fine mornings is one of the finest of the capital communities, all done in loveliness and art, and set there for the gratification of men forever and ever.

I haven't dared to go out—not even to tell the police. ‘And I’ve been afraid—they — kill Mr. Conybear—and the others’ She put her hands to her face. “Please,” said Waring. “Please! me—what you know” ‘Nothing,’ she answered. ‘Except that Mr. Conybear gnd some other rich men ‘have been kidnaped by a man named Bergson, and_ that Hendérson, Mr. Conybear’s secretary, is dn the plot.”’ “But what are you doing here? Tell me that.” “My uncle—I have been living with him in Paris. ._But I was tired of Frarice. I wanted to come back to America. I insisted and:he let me. But—there were certain things—he explained certain facts to me—that I had not known— things that bound him to Bergson. him that I’d help him—break those bonds. * * * I thought I could, but—oh, I can’t explain now. Please go.’’ “To the police?” , “Yet... No—oh, I don’t know. ‘If the police could come upon them without alarming them— oh, I don’t know.” Her body shook as she fought against a sob. Waring patted her shoulder. ‘*Tt’s all right. I felt as you do—about the police. But—something must be done. Hender- son fooled me’”’ “Oh, if uncle had sent the.man he was going to send. He told me—when I left him—that he'd send someone. But maybe he was afraid. If you'll tell ' Bergson is dangerous” Waring suddenly remembered the name of her uncle, Peter Randall! And “P.

But it was hardly the time to tell her that her uncle supplied Bergson If she thought that Peter Ran- dall aimed at Befgson, instead of standing with the chief of the.

I'll stay and’’ : Her voice died away. At the front. door were men entering the house. She looked wildly about her. But the only door to the room was the one ‘through Which they had entered. “The window,” she gasped. But Waring shook his head. If he were to die, he preferred to die facing his enemies; he did not care to be sHot in the back. But the first words of Bergson, bursting into the room, told him that death was not too near to him to be avoided if his wits were quick. For Bergson’s suspicions were not yet awakened. “You, Carvajal?” he cried. ‘‘What are you do- ing here?’’ 5 Waring saw the light of hope—-mystified, yet still hope—filash in the girl's eyes. ‘And Waring, fighting for his life, he knew, found that his wits were sharpened by his danger. “T saw a@ man spying’ when T left Hancock Square,” he said. “He followed me and I—I eluded him and then I followed him. I saw him go to a telephone—in a saloon. He left and I still followed him. He came to” this house, mounted the steps and I thought that he would enter. But he seemed to change his mind. He descend- ed and walked to your sub- way. I am not familiar with its passages. I lost him there. So I returned here and de- cided that I would make some investigations. I rang the bell; *) "2 a Be Pa & ae % P| BO IEA ie Rae oe “s . bd * or ley “You, Carvajal?’’ he cried. “What are you doing here?’’ the young lady admitted me and she asked if I came from you. And so I knew that I had done well in coming here. For though I have only been here a moment, she has told me that she was one of us’ “Your tongue is loose, mademoiselle,”’ snapped Bergson. “Not so,”’ retorted War- ing. “It is I—I who speak too freely. But—we are both of the same society. There is no harm done,” “No,” cried Bergsen, “none at all, except that the police -suspect, that your spy, one Philip Waring, has probably gone to the police by this time, if Henderson, the fool, the fool!” “What did he do?” asked the girl. “Do? The police telephoned him this after- noon—told him there was a rumor that Conybear was kidnaped. And Henderson, because he put | them off with fair words, thought they were de- ceived and so did not tell me until just now. He feared that I would take needless alarm. The fool! The fool!” Waring had seen angry men“in his life before, but he had. never seen one so mastered by rage as was Bergson now. And still, though his nos- trils twitched, Bergson seemed to have a dual identity, one part of which raged at the absent ae cae while the other planned swiftly. “Henderson is coming here?” he asked’ the girl. She nodded. “You told the others?” She shook her head. “They have been drink- I—I am afraid of them.’ Waring, with her words, thought he wilese- stood the surly quality of the voice upstairs. He looked at Bergson, to see how the man would take this news. Bergson seemed unimpressed. “They would not drink enough to hurt them- selves. Although I will admit that Cantrell and Durney, without liquor at all, are not attractive to a woman, and with a drink” His eyes sud- denly narrowed. “But how did you expect, if you had not told them, to handle this Waring— did Henderson fail to tell you that he had sent this Waring, who had telephoned him? sd ‘Henderson said that Waring was coming here and: told. me to detain him. But those beasts upstairs—I was going to wait until Waring got here and then tell them.” “If I could only get people who do no thinking for themselves,” raged Bergson. “If you had told them when he came to the steps they would have captured him. And Henderson—if Hen- derson had not delayed telling me that In some manner the police had got wind of Conybear’s capture by us. I am cursed with the brains, the infinitesimal brains of those who surround me, their desire to think for themselves, to Save me alarm.” He turned to Ranney, whe had entered the room with him. A ,8on; ‘comprehendingly at Kelcey. “If that Wdring has gone to the. police—let those swine upstairs’—— . But at this moment the “swine” entered, at- tracted by the voices downstairs. “What's wrong?” demanded the foremost, whose voice was that of the man Waring had heard speaking to the girl. ’ “The police know of this place,” snapped Berg- “doubtless of the other, too. But if they go there they will find the birds have flown and if they come here—you shall pay for your drinking, my friends.” “We've not drunk a drop,” protested the sec- ond man. “She says you have; why lie to me?” demand- ed Bergson. «““Why—she—she” “It doesn’t matter now. We will settle later the price you pay.”” Heturned to Waring. ‘This Waring, who telephoned Henderson—he said that his name was Philin Waring. You, Carvajal, find out where he lives. He is a fool! None but a fool would have come to this house on’so. flimsy an excuse. But-——he thought better of it. He may be the sort of fool to think again. He—he can’t know anything. And he may think again before he.tells the police. It is a chance. And we must take that chance. You, Carvajal, find him. Kill him!” Waring’s nerves were taut, and yet he almost laughed at Bergson’s command. To find him- self and kill himself—but his sense of the _lu- dicrous was ‘less insistent than his sense of peril. “And after that?’’ “You are a man, Carvajal,” cried Bergson. “No doubts, no wondering, no thinking for your- self! After that, you say? You came here, on the .Montania, as Jacques Pelletier, eh? Then resume that name. Go to—oh, the Plutenia, and remain there.”’ “And if I can’t get this Waring?” “Try! I shall delegates others, too, as soon as——— We have talked enough.’ There are two cars outside. Come” “But: Henderson?’ said one of the men. “He thinks, and not always foolishly. He will telephone from near by before he comes here. If there is no answer he will go to one of the _offices—quick.”’ There was not a police officer in sight as War- ing reached the sidewalk.- There was not. a man within a block. Helplessly—it would do no good to attack haif a dozen armed men by him- self—he watched the two cars drive off. There was not even a taxi in sight whereby he could trail them> He could think of no excuse to detain the girl. He could think of nothing, save the fact that, with ‘“‘the So- ciety” at his mercy, he had been duped by Henderson and was lucky to have escaped with his life, much less capture the kid- napers of Conybear and rescue. that millionaire. ~ Of course, he could still go to the police. But if he did, what could he tell them of any value? That “he had located Bergson, had helped to force Burton Conybear to draw money from the bank—there was the weak- ness of his position. The police would not complaisantly believe everything. Waring told/ them. They would arrest Waring on suspicion, anyway. If he could lead the police.to Conybear’s prison, matters would be differ- ent. But i he could merely tell them that he had pretended to be one of Bergson’s gang and could -not tell them where the gang was now—the police were an. unimaginative lot; they would not believe that anyone, | an innocent anyone, would have \ found it necessary to assist in a crime in order to get evidence. Waring thought of the girl. Even now, per- haps, Bergson was discovering that she lied, that Cantrell and Durney had not taken a drink, that she was not in danger at their hands. Still, Berggon had seemed to know that the men up- stairs were drinking men; would not believe their protestations of complete abstinence. Claire would not be blamed for failing to give them Henderson’s message at once. And she was quick-witted enough to explain away her failure | to tell Cantrell and Durney of ‘“‘Carvajal’s’’ ar- ‘rival. Waring’s intention to play a lone hand hard- ened. Yes, he must play a lone hand, for her sake as well as his own. And despite her peril and his own, he could hardly forbear smiling as he turned down Fifth avenue, It was absurd, this commission to stalk and slay himeelf. . CHAPTER IX. ELL, what have you done?” Kelcey, standing stiffly at atten- tion, waited until the Commissioner had hung his coat and hat upon a hook. Then he answered. “Sent over to the Era office for a photo of Waring. Ought to be here any minute. Ordered a hundred copies made as soon as possible and sent to each precinct. Telephoned Portsmouth. Henderson not there.” “Not there?’’ Herkomer was at his desk now and he stared at the Sergeant. ‘‘Where is he?” “Servant answered that he'd gone to New York a while ago on business.” Herkomer frowned. “What else did you do?” “Sent six men off in search of . Waring. Looked him .up in the Blue Book. Belongs to the Exploration, the Bachelors’, the Mummers’ and the National Clubs. Man to each of them and a couple to his apartment.” “Who's his lawyer?” “Sent a man to the Era as you ordered. Told him to look up Waring in the ‘morgue’ there. Probably have all that. information when he returns, sir.”’ “Send someone out,to interview him, who- ever he iss Get all you can about Waring’s finances; see if he owns any property that he could have mortgaged to Conybear. See if” A knock on the door interrupted him. Kel- cey admitted a uniformed man who laid on the Commissioner's desk a sheet of paper. It. was a brief dossier of Waring. Herkomer nodded “Very quick work, Sergeant.” | He glanced at the terse sketch of the career of Philip Waring. Complete, it told little of Waring that Herkomer was not already vaguely aware of, save that it stated the name of the attorney who had, while Waring was crossing the Atlantic last winter, represented him at the early inquiries into the Carey Haig smash. “This may help a little,” said the Commission- er. “Samuel Balch is Waring’s attorney. At least, he was at one time. You've worked fast, Kelcey. But I guess we need speed, at that.” “Yes, sir, I imagine so. Shall I send a man out to this Balch?’ “Retter. What else is being done?” a Kelcey shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing, sir. I've told Capt. Casey to drop } Pd everything else the Detective. Bureau Has on hand. There was a raid planned for tonight: * Strong-arm squad was going to visit Tex Grane: ville’s house on Forty-third street. He's running — a wheel pretty openly”—— Herkomer dismissed Tex Granville's gambling house with an impatient gesture. egy “The Greenhams? What are they doing?” “What do they ever do except run up an ex- .. pense bill?” demanded Kelcey scornfully. “Watchin’ the ferries and the railroad stations — or somethin’ nice and original like that, I OUD=.,.. pose.” af “Who was doth to lead the strong-arm raia?” : “Loot‘nant Dan McGraw, sir.” “Better have him do it, after all. it'll howe " the newspaper men busy. Tell him to make it — spectacular.” “Right, sir. All the frills? Hydraulic jack for the door and all that?” + faye “Yes. And red fire and a brass band—any- thing to get the town talking. It'll keep, hey keep, maybe this other thing dark. “Have a couple of men go vut to Conybear's Portsmouth place. ave ‘em stay there till Hen- derson gets back. Meanwhile, .let ‘em pump everyone out thére. Learn as much as they can. And if they get anything at > telephone it in.” . “Yes, sir.” Kelcey saluted and left the office. Herkomer sat down «at his desk. He was a good, capable executive, with a thorough knowl-. edge of police methods. He had studied, the Scotland Yard system and the ways of the Con- tinental police. | But—and it was the “but” that confronted — the Commissioner now-—Herkomer knew his own limitations. He was not a detective.. He could direct the operation of the’ Detective Bureau, could instruct his subordinates to round up “wanted” criminals, could even advise them how to go about that rounding-up process—under certain conditions. But when a crime such as | this occurred—there had really been nothing” quite liké it in his experience—he was at a loss_ hew to proceed. And he could not say. that he had ° nothing to go upon. He had Philip Waring’s visit to the bank with Burton Conybear—which . might be innocent, but which, if not, gave Her- komer a working basis. He smiled, although a trifle ruefully. What great detective of fiction was ever given moré_ by the author than this, as a basis from which . to deduce? Yes, but Herkomer was only a po-. liceman., And he could deduce nothing, save . that it was vital to apprehend Waring. His smile became less rueful. The same deduction, and no more, would be made by the greatest detective. that ever mystified an anxious reader. He picked up a newspaper; a little incon- spicuous paragraph leaped from the page at him. . Tucked away in a corner, there was no reason. why he should have read it. It was an item of a hundred words telling about an accident, . fatal, to an unidentified man, apparently a Frenchman, who had been run down by an auto- mobile at Twenty-eighth street. Alarmed by the approach of @ tenant of the apartment house that the man was apparently intending to rob, . the victim had fled, been knocked down by a. car and instantly killed. And the tenant whe: had tened the man to his\death was Philip. Waring ONG i / Herkomer reached for a press button to sum~: mon aclerk. The telephone at his elbow buzzed, and while he answered the telephone he post- poned sending for the record of the accident. The headquarters céntral spoke to him. “Officer Dooling on the wire, Commissioner.” * “All right,” said Herkomer. © ; #& moment later Plain Clothes “Man Dooling spoke. “I'm up near the Sinsabaugh place, Conia: sioner. Phonin’ from a drug store round the corner on Madison avenue. William Sinsabaugh, the railroad man and financier, sir. On the’ Waring matter, sir.’’ Kelcey had done more than’ tell ertiona’ . that he had assigned men to the pursuit of War— ing. He had written their names and their posts’ on a slip of paper on the Commissioner's desk.” Herkomer glanced at this list now. “You are detailed to the Exploration Club, Dooling.” “Yes, sir.. And the doorman there is Tom Fields. Before your time, Commissioner. He was ‘broke’ for drunkenness. But he ain’t a bad sort, and we remembered each other, and he gave me the tip-off on Waring. Waring had been in there half an hour before I got there. di Been in with Mr. Sinsabaugh. They only stayed — a minute or two—had a drink, I guess; then they © left in a taxi outside the club. The chauffeur was there, and I asked him where they had gone, _ Straight to the Singabaugh house, he told me. — I chased right up here, and Officer Carmichael was on the corner. He knows Sinsabaugh by sight, and he said he’d Seen on fixed post at the corner for half an hour, and he hadn’t seen Sin- sabaugh nor anyone else come out. He's watch- in’ the house now while I phone. Sergt. Kelcey said to ke a pinch, sir, and if Waring should . come out of the Sinsabaugh house I'll do it—or .. Carmichael, if he should come this minute. But I didn’t know but perhaps you was in-a hurry, Commissioner, and breakin’ into the house with- -. out a warrant and takin’ him away’”’ He paused, to let the Commissioner digest the. inalienable rights of Anglo-Saxons. “That's all right,” said Herkomer. “You don’t need a warrant for murder. I-am in a hurry. Go to the Sinsabaugh house with Officer Car- ._. michael. Ask for Waring. . If he won't come out . to see you, effect an entrance any way you see fit. The charge is murder. If he asks you ques-. tions, don’t answer them, Bring him.in!” . “Right,” said Dooling. The receiver clicked, and Herkomer leaned back comfortably in his chair. He forgot all about his worry of a Ilitle. while back; accident to the unknown man in front of Waring’s house was suspicious enough ~ to justify the charge of murder and protect a tle ™ komer from action for false arrest. The telephone rang again. Eagerly Herko- - mer answered it, to hear a very discomfited Offi- - cer Dooling state that Waring had “apps a through his fingers. “IT didn’t believe Sinsabaugh, str. - wee servant — who anawered the door told me that Mr. Wabtew’ 3 and was dining with the Sinsabaughs, but Sinsabaugh ~ came out and sald there was a mistake. Mr.°) Waring had gone half an hour ago, and I searched the house, and—he ain't there, air. Only guest was a young lady. The butler said © Waring hadn't been there, and there wasn't any place set for him, and then the servant that an- — swered the «oor. said he must have been mis- taken, and—what'll I do, sir?” * “You watch the house, Dooling. If “wie goes out right away, follow him, and when ou get a chance, phone here. I'll rush a relief. so that Sinsabaugh won't know that he's being foi- lowed, right gp to you.” He hung up the telephone and pressed anes a button. To the clerk who entered he said that” he wanted Sergt. Kelcey to come to him. vie. ee Copyrighted. ne eee ee eee te > Xe

If we had had one this year it would have been next Tuesday night, and by now every debutante would have been on the qui vive awaiting her first big affair. have been chosen, the gowns would have their final fitting, and everything would be in readiness for the opening event of the social season. As it is now about all that is occupying the attention of society outside of war work and war work benefits, is wondering who will be the next ‘‘war bride.’ An- nouncements are liable to come most any time for orders are not things ove can wait upon, and almost each week brings news that some bridegroom-eelct has obtained a leave and the plans for a wedding made. ; . “The Italian Merenda,’”” which is to be given at Cicardi’s at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Just what a “Merenda” is or will be like is rather puzzling to the average American mind, so to relieve any further anxiety, especially to those not familiar with the Italian lan- guage, it is the Italian term for “tea,” so the entertainment on Tues- day, after all, will be just a “tea,” but with so many added attractions besides what is usually expected at ah American or English “tea,” that it will take more the form of a mu- sical and literary affair. It is for the benefit of the war library fund, a most worthy war service work which provides libraries for our soldiers and sailors, keeping their minds occu- pied in their leisure hours, thus tend- ing to their moral and mental @plift. Eugene Angert will preside at the “Merenda.” Mrs. Berenice Wyer, wife of Capt. Wyer of Jefferson Bar- racks, will play “A Ballade.” Orrick Johns will recite an original ode, Capt. Dolphin of the British Recruit- ing Mission will give a talk on “Life in the Trenches,’ and other interest- Stee is keenly anticipating ing features will be on the program. The list of patronesses include Mmes. Paul Blackwelder, Edward Walsh, Alfred Shapleigh, Theodore Benoist, Lon Hocker, Eugene Angert, George Mepham, J. C. Jones, Herbert L. Parker, W. A. Hardaway, Philip Fouke, George Gellhorn, Eugene Senseney, T. M. Meston, B. F. Bush and F. C. Rand. T is very gratifying to see what | women are accomplishing in the world work of today. In the Food Conservation rally which took place on Thursday, Mrs. Oscar Johnson was awarded a prize for the best farm products display. They were raised under her personal su-' pervision on the farm surrounding her country home at St. Albans, Mo. Mrs. Harry Hawes, whose country. home at Sappington is one of the most interesting and attractive places around St. Louis, was another prize winner with her canned prod- ucts. Isn’t it splendid to think that women who have long taken an ac- tive part in social life can meet a crisis which facés us like the present one and be leaders in the great war work as well as leaders in sociéty in time of peace? Another work in which an im- posing list of women are interested and which will attract much notice is the booth at Vandervoort’s in which the second issue of Liberty Bonds are to be sold. Among the prominent women who will have charge tomorrow are Mmes. Ira | of the bride-elect. A private car will The Queen and her court would Delaney, Harvey Mudd, Charles Na- gel, Walter F.

JULDN’T it: almost be a trag- W edy if the Imperial Club should abandon its entertain- | ments for the coming winter? With the Lennox Club no longer in ex- istence, what would there be left in the way of, important social affairs to divert the minds of society from the grimness and depression of to- day?., It is true there could still be large Red Cross Dalls, one for the Food Conservation Committee or any of the. other wonderful war re- lief activities’ that might in a. way compensate for the lack of the reg- ular yearly society events, but even those ‘could not take the place that has so long been occupied by the Vv. P. and the Ifperial. The coming week will witness a number of weddings of importance. Wednesday Miss Elise Lammert Smith will become the bride of Ar-' nold Morrow: The ceremony § will take place at the home of the bride- elect’s father, in Kingsbury place. Thursday Miss Isabel Capen will be married to John Anderson Scudder II, at the country home of her pa- rents, ““Wentworth Terrace,”’ on the Clayton road. Saturday the wedding of Miss Katherine Guy to Henry Fen- imore Cooper II will take place at Mr. Guy’s summer home in Coop- erstown, N. Y.

Special training is given in nine instruction schools here. The daily classes are attendgd by 5000 men. The length of the courses vary and many bright students qualify in a fraction of the alloted time. To the student “rookie” one of the most attractive branches is the radio school. Two towers, 400 feet high, with power to receive and transmit messages as far as the Panama Canal, enable the students to get practical experience in wireless teleg-| raphy. Three hundred students are graduated every three months in radio.

Gunnery School Conducted. Another interesting department of the big training depot is the gun- nery school. Youths who show apti-/ tude for this highly essential arm of the service are entered for a two months’ training course. Before they , are rated and sent to sea they must/; -— ¢ be able to take apart and replace +: guns of every caliber used in the fleet. Sixteen hundred gunner’s mates a year will be turned out of this school. Uncle Sam will be furnished 1200 quartermasters each 12 months by the Great\ Lakes station. There is no connection between a quartermas- *' > ter in the navy and a man of the (*so~s 4 same title in the army. The navy er tom - man has charge of the steering of “s55 4 the ship and also of signals. This Sevres Course lasts eight months. Before July 1 next year 1900 cox- .. 4 Swains will have been graduated from the school for the petty offi- ‘'~ cers in charge of small boats. The »| » coxswains’ school also gives ad- : ~~ vanced courses in artillery, signaling, “ott deck and marlinspike seamanship. Pick Men for Signal Work.

It came here last season, after becoming an es- tablished success in New York and Chicago, and was at the Garrick two weeks. It was generally praised for the vividness of its allegorical pictures and the excellence of its acting, but some took issue with its supposed teachings, and one of these was Rabbi Leon Harrison, who preached on the subject later. He held that Youth, the hero of the play, was a weakling, or he would not have descended the downward path so readily and quickly, and that the method of his restoration was not a convincing one. Other ministers, however, have indorsed the play as teaching a wholesome lesson. The cast which will appear here includes Leonard Doyle, as Youth, Duncan Penwarden, Leona Hogarth, Beatrice Benton, Mae Paul, George B. Miller and Fred Mosley. “Fair and armer,” a farce seen at the Jefters n last season, will re- turn there next week. The following week, beginning Monday night, Oct. 15, David Warfield will appear in his memorable success, ‘“‘The Music Master.”’ McIntyre & Heath Return. McIntyre & Heath, who have been for nearly 20 years the leading blackface comedy team on the vau- deville stage, will head tomorrow’s bill at the Orpheum. Their present act is entitled “On Guard.” The first episode of the British war pic- ture, “The German. Retreat at the Battle of Arras,” which was first announced for last week, but was delayed, has been announced for this week. Other féatures of the bill are Josie Heather, Eng] come- dienne; Harriet Rempel and com- pany; Medlin; Watts and Towns; Maurice Burkhart; and Sprague and McNeece. A new Hawaiian play, “A Daugh- ter of the Sun,’ will come to the American this afternoon. A troupe of native ukeleleers, or. ukelelists, or ukeleliacs, or whatever the garland- ed players of these infant guitars are called, A. Bliss, fo res in the shaw.

Boyle Wool- folk, the producer of this act, says he bought it from Florenz Ziegfeld EE of “Follies” fame. , Fred and Minita Brad, Tabor and Green, and Fogarty and Williams are among the other participants. aes Some Today's bill at the Gayety bears the modest title of “The Best Show in Town.” Its cast includes Frank Hunter, Frank Wesson and Bert Lahr as comedians, and Lynn Can- ter, Bud Walker, Clare Keating, Vir- ginia Ware, the Davenports and the Isabella Sisters.

W. eva iss ARABELLA SIMPKINS BROWN, all bent on conservation. Said she would keep expenses down to aid the fighting nation. She vowed by all she held so dear she’d be most economic, Although the efforts make her queer and like a Sunday comic. She planned to take her last*year’s hat and put a ribbon on it ' And get along with only that for this year’s winter bonnet. She wouldn't buy another dress, the project was a bold one, For ’t was her plan, as you might guess, to turn and trim her old one. Economies like this, you know, will stamp no maid a miser, But help our Uncle Sam to go and pulverize the Kaiser. She wouldn’t care how people talked, or even called her dowdy, If, while in saving garb she walked, we'd lick that Prussian rowdy. She’d gladly have her boots half-soled, or heeled if they should need ’em, And thus conserve her store of gold to aid the cause of Freedom. For this Miss Arabella Brown, the fairest of creation, Resolved to keep expenses down and practice conservation. But, sad to say, all flesh is weak and vows are easy broken; In-last year’s hat she looked a freak and critics were outspoken, So now she’s running round the town with eager animation, And you may safely set it down she'll buy a “cute creation.” HIMSELF UND HIM. HO runs to shoot us when we fall, While shouting ‘‘ Deutschland Over All?’’ Der Kaiser! Who bdmbs our soldiers when they ’re sick, y . And thinks he’s turned a noble trick? Der Kaiser! Who guides assassin submarines, In hope to win by any means? | Der Kaiser! Who proudly writes his name in blood And tramples Mercy in the mudf Der Kaiser! Who tears a treaty into bits, And does the thing his purpose fits? Der Kaiser! Who claims to rule by right Divine, While all below him are but swine? Der Kaiser! Who talks of peace and bares the steel To grind a world beneath his heel? Der Kaiser! Who laughs when fiendish deeds are done, Content to be a super-Hun? Der Kaiser! Who fools the dupes who call him Great And die that he may strut in state? Der Kaiser! Who walks, a curse upon the earth, Which damns the day that gave him birth? Der Kaiser! soe JUST TALKING AROUND. ELLO, Binks.’’ H ‘*Howdy, Jinks. What are the latest peace terms?’’ ‘‘T think it’s all settled.’’ **How’s that?’’ ‘‘The fellow next door says he'll re- store my garden on certain conditions? ’’ ‘*What happened to your garJen.’’ **His chickens scratched it up.’’ ‘*O, I see.’’ ‘*Yes, and now he’s willing to make ‘That’s nice of him.’ ‘*Sure, he is willing t> fill up the holes the chickens made, if I accept his terms.’’ ‘‘And what are the terms like?’’ ‘*Well, I must give him half of my yard for a chicken pen.’’ ‘*Ts' that all?’’ ‘*No. His,schickens must have a place in the sun and I must feed them.’’ ‘*And will he replant your garden?*’ ‘*T should say not. 1 must furnish the seed.’’ ‘*And put in whatever you likef’’ ‘*No, I must plant things his chick- ens will like.’’ ‘‘Say, what’s the name of this neigh- bor of yours?’’ ‘* Wilhelm, ’’ ‘*Are you going to accept his terms?’’ ‘No, 1’m going to keep on wringing his chickens’ necks when they come into my yard,’’ ‘*Go to it, Albert.’’ WHAT'S GOING ON, RANK A. VANDERLIP is work- Be ing for the United States Gov- ernment in special war serv- ice at a salary of $1 a year. This goes to show how a deserving man ean work his way up. A short time ago he was only the president of the largest national bank in the United States. One of otir drafted boys went to Camp Funston in a $75 suit, ‘‘so as to make a good impression on the General.’’ A Sergeant took his suit away from him when he got off the train. He’s in overalls now and he hasn’t yet seen the General. But he’s going tb ‘‘get the Kaiser,’’ just the same.

The only thing about the system that isFrench is its poles, which were cut in the forest by a detachment of cavaliry- men turned wood choppers. The wires, insulators and instruments are all American. The system was.erected by the sig- nal corps and an engineering detach- ment, composed, as it happened of Pittsburgers.

The money, it was stated, was in- tended to subsidize the press in the interest’ of premature peace. The arrest of Bolo Pasha had been expected for a long time, but was de- layed by the difficulties of securing positive evidence regarding the course of large sums of money knoawn to have passed through his dands, Swiss banks declared that°as the case was a political one they were unablé to give the information re- quested. Captain Bouchardon, acting as examining magistrate for the court-martial ‘in Paris, received in- formation from’ the United States concerning the origin of part of the funds handled by Bolo Pasha.

Painleve, Minister. of War, supreme head of military justice: “I beg of youjto finish with the affair. I have Seukaerbaund for eight months and nothing reprehensible has been found against me. I have accepted all investigation regarding my for- tune, going back from yesterday to a remote period,.and have given all facilities to justice.

An official. communication issued by Premier Painleve this afternoon read: | “The Bolo affair is going.to enter into a new phase. Capt. Bouchardon has just received from the United States important information hither- jo unknown here. It é¢oncerngs par- ticularly the origin of funds to a considerable amount held by the ac- cused. In conseqtence of this infor- mation, Bolé was placed under ar- rest.” OWLY 10.35 MILES OF STREETS “PAVED HERE IN THE LAST YEAR Record Lowest, With One Exception, im 12 Years——Cost of Work Was $561,506.

ISSUE IS APPORTIONED Treasury Secretary Expects $5,- 000,000,000 Response to $3,000,000,000 Offering. WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Trea- sury officials tonight announced the apportionment of the S:cond Liberty Bond issue, to be offered next Monday, among the various Federal Reserve districts of the country. Virtually two- thirds of the loan is expected to be raised by the New York, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago districts, with one-half apportioned to the first three | hamed districts, Apportionments indicate only what each district is expected to do and may be entirely upset, as in the case of the first Liberty Loan, by the actual subscriptions. In making the apportionments, of- ficiais used two bases the minjmum of $3,000,000,000 and an expected amount of $5,000,000,000. Appar- ently in offering the second issue officials hope fo realize a $5,000,- 000,000 resp huisantaweieans by Districts.

The police assert the men had a quarrel Friday night with John Mil- ler, 22, of 3221 Morgan street, and started out last night to find him. They encountered him in.a saloon at} 309 North Garrisan avenue, and Hus- ton and Miller exchanged shots, after which: Horchler ran out the front door, where he met @ policeman and was arrested. Huston went out a back doér and the police lost track of him until a few minutes later, when a woman in a house at 2830 Locust street re- ported that she had been robbed of 20 nickels on the front steps and that the robber had gone into the house. Policeman Meinz, who was sum- moned, found a man with a revolver in a room in which another woman said he had robbed a man of $3.50.

BERLIN, via London, Sept. 29.— The German Secretary for foreign af- fairs, Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, speaking before the main committee of the Reichstag, said he could not venture to say what would be the immediate outcome of the papal steps toward peace. “This courageous initiative of the Pope,” the secretary said, “will mark an epoch in the history of this tre- mendous battle of nations and will appear as an unfading page in the annuals of Vatican diplomacy. The Pope threw the word ‘Peace’ into the turmoil of battles at a time when events threatened to transform Eu- rope into a place of blood stained ruins. *Embodies People’s Desires.” . . “The German people and the Ger- man Government, whose conscious- ness of their strength and internal security always made it easy for them to emphasize their willing- ness to conclude an honorable peace, have reason fo welcome gratefully the initiative of the curia, which made it possible for them to set forth again their national policy in a clear, unambiguous manner. I say intentionally the national policy, as I hope and believe the reply of the German Government, both as re- gards its form and contents, em- bodies the desires of an overwhelm- ing majority of the Germans. “For our purely German develop- ment, the note is also a landmark. It is the first result of the collabora- tion between all the factors of the Government, and the representatives of the German Parliament. That has been attempted here for the first time and with a cordiality that has no precedent, so near as I can see, even in purely parliamentary states.”’ This collaboration, the Secretary added, both with regard to its prin- @ statement having the German for- ciple and results, is of a kind which eign policy at heart, might regard with perfect confidence. He dented | that there is In Gremany today one policy of the Gevernment and an- other policy of the people, ard de- clared that this legend could be de- stroyed if the Reichstag hind the policy represented reply to ghe Pope.

Gardner of Missouri arrived in Washington late this bringing a message of loyalty of Missouri to the country and Gov. ernment. “We'll see it through,” he said, “even if it takes all the hide off.’’ The purpose of the Governor's visit was to see Secretary Baker about the consolidation of the Mis- souril -National Guard which de- stroys the identity of several regi- ments. Gov. Gardner went at once, on his arrival here, to the office of Secretary Baker. There he im- pressed upon the Secretary how the men who had enlisted in the na- tional guard felt about the re-or- ganization order. He was with Secretary Baker an hour and left with an appointment for Monday afternoon, when the War Secretary will give him—wa final answer as to what will be done. - What He Told Baker. re “T told Secretary Baker that there was deep resentment in Missouri against the army reorganization plan in so far as they affect Mis- sourt. National Guard regiments,” Gov. Gardner said. “I called upon these men to,join the guard at the request of the National Government. I understood, and so did they, that they were to serve in Missouri infantry regi- ments. To destroy their identity by mixing them up with troops of other States is unfair, especially to split up the Second Regiment and de- prive it of the veteran colonel who brought the reorganization up to its present high degree of efficiency. in the disinfectant exposures, which had revealed that former Commis- sioner John W. Scott bought large quantities of costly germicides from the Germo Manufacturing Co., of St. Both resignations were accepted to take effect immediately. The indictments returned By the grand jury tonight are the latest de- yelopments in_a series of exposures of mismanagement and misappro- priation of state property by state of- ficials and employes, all of which were discovered and published ex- clusively by the Post-Dispatch after an exhaustive investigation. Grand Jury Takes Recess. The grand jury announced tonight that it had en a recess until Oct. 8, when it will convene to complete its investigation of the management of the penitentiary under: fopmer Warden D, C. McClung. T. J. MeBiroy, former superintend- ent of the prison clothing plant was called before the grand jury today. The Post-Dispatch had published a statement from him in which he de- clared that McClung and members of the prison tailor shop, at state ex- pense, and had not paid for it. Want a better position? ‘ry a Post- ‘ft made it plain to . Secretary Baker that whatever his verdict, I would support him. I told him as I shall tell the President that Mis- souri is behind the Government in this war and will do everything possible to bring it to a successful conclusion ‘even if it takes the hide off.’ Secretary Makes Statement. To newspaper men Secretary Bak- er said: ‘““‘The Governors and Senators and Representatives of many states have complained against the break- ing up of state units. In most in- stances the argument advanced against consolidati has been that it would tend to destroy the neigh- borhood feeling. “A solution frequently advanced is that national guard units which are far below the required war strength .be filled up by taking conscripted men from the same states. The trou- ble “about “that procedure is that it would have the effect of putting a majority of wholly untrained men in regiments which have had some serv- ice on the border and delay their de- parture for France. By consolidat- ing the two regiments of men who have had considerable training this difficulty Would be eliminated and a relatively small number of new and untrained men would be required to fill up the gaps.” One cause of discontent over the Dispatch situation Want Ad campaign. breaking up of state units has been tenes afternoon | — pat the officers would be los Mr. |i : mand in this way shall lose either | will be carried as Baker explained that the plan fs to his rank or his opportunity for serv-|numbers, as has cupernumerary see that no officer deprived of hisjice.

At the beginning of the term the recitation periods were increased from 45 to 65 minutes and a school day was reckoned six such hours, instead of seven. To avoid con- gestion classes are started at 3:30 a. m. and continued until 3:30 p. m., with a half hour intermission for lunch, in comparison with the former hours of 9 a m. to 3:15 p. m. In addition, were so light- ened that only fo subjects need- instead of five. was specified also that as an equivalent to one of these four, two so-called “vocational” studies, such as manual training, mechanical drawing or domestic science, requiring no home study, might be taken. Capable students who had made grades of 80 per cent or more were allowed to stugy an additional subject if they desired. Certain subjects were made elect- ive instead of required, as heretofore. Chief among these were languages: Latin, German, French or Spanish, one of which all students formerly were required to take. Latin now is required onty in the classical course. Greek is electtve in all courses. . The mintmum required subjects are English, three years; history, one training, four years; community civ- ics and the vocations, half year each. Former requirements were English, four years; history, two years; math- ematics, two or four years; science, two or four years; languages, two years. It is believed these changes will 'fresult in increased concentration by students and a larger and better vol- ume of work in each course than previously. Under the new system Assistant Superintendent Bryan be- lieves no student can say fairly that he is compelled to take more sub- jects than he can carry. _ A survey of the new system will be made at the end of the semester under the direction of Bryan. s TWINS INSEPARABLE IN PLAY FIGHT IN TRENCHES TOGETHER English Boys, now 26, Enlisted as Privates and After 20 Months’ | Service-Are Corporals.

They resemble each other, are in- separable, think and act alike, and have never been known to quarrel. Each is 6 feet high, and 26 years old. They formerly were attached to the Brighton Police, which they joined and left together. When they joined the Royal Sussex Regi- ment, one more robust than the other was adjudged fit for foreign service, and the weaker one for home service. This distressed the pair, and the weaker of the two again visited the authorities and pleaded that they could not be sep- arated, and that he wished to be with his brother on foreign service. The authorities, touched by the simple devotion, arranged that they should be together... They joined as privates, were in the trenches ‘together, and have been at the front for 20 months. Together they were promoted to lance corporals, and at the same time were transferred to the military and begged not to. be sent to the base, lest he-+should be sent home remain, and Clifford saw him every day. The two were granted leave together, went home together, and only returned to the front recently.

Of this sum about $60,000 come from the season and the single ticket sales during the year, leaving a deficit of $40,000 to be covered by the guarantee fund. Advance Sale Large: A larger advance subscription sale than usual is repofted for this year, due, it is believed, to war conditions. Music is expected to be the principal diversion, when many Americans will not care for gayer amusements. This has been the case in Burope since the war began. The solo artists engaged for this year are Fritz Kreisler, violinist; Louise Homer, contralto; Harold Bauer, pianist; Emilio de Gogorza, baritone; Julia Culp, mezzo-soprano; Reinald Werrenrath, baritone; Ossip Gabrilowitsch, pianist; Helen Stan- ley, soprano; Guimar Novaes, plan- ist; Arthur Hackett, tenor; Willem Willeke, cellist. . Albert Spalding, violinist, who was engaged for one pair of concerts, has joined the army. His place in the list has not yet been filled. RECRUITS BATHE BEFORE THEY. ENTER NAVAL SHAM BATTLES Abliutions and Clean Clothes Re- quired as Preventive Against In- fection Through Injary. GREAT LAKES, DL, Sept. 29.— Navy regulations require that all men about to participate in a naval bat- tle bathe and put on new and clean clothing before entering the en- gagement. And here at the Great Lakes naval training station every bluejacket assigned to duty in the weekly sham battle gets a call an hour before the battle is to start to “get under the shower” and “shift into clean clothing.” The future man-o’-war’s-man usually remon- strates that ‘he had a shower that morning and that his clothes are clean. It makes no difference, the order must be obeyed. In the official regulations the or- der is explained by the statement that it is to prevent tnfection through bits of clothing, torn by shot and shell, entering wounds. And so the precaution is taken for the Great Lakes sham battles for the same rea- son—and also to accustom the re- cruit to actual battle conditions so far as is possible. Another realistic feature of the sham battles is the wearing of gas masks. In the battles the bluejack- ets hope to engage in across the water these masks protect from gas clouds. At Great Lakes they pro- tect the psuedo fighters from alleged gas walls, which prove to be thin clouds of smoke caused by bursting subscriptions to the concert series} We're Keepirig( Up the Quality I at the Same Alle > Despite the fact i woolens have ad e pas pir ill offer skwedl shops have been forced to advance their price... > Sea $ There is only an ex-. tremely small margin of} profit at this price us, but an immense vol- ‘ume of sales will make conservative models.

YEATMAN TOO FAST _‘FOR RANKEN DEFENSE > 14 - _ “'Subs in Second Half, Han- | “‘dily Defeats Trades Stu- Es dents, Final Count, 13-0. . $ a ~ Represented by a team not one member of which had ever before played in a scholastic football game, | Central High School yesterday open- > —s @d its 1917 football season with a 23 to 0 victory over the Kirkwood High “School eleven. The contest was the feature half of a high school grid- fron twin-bill, on High School Ath- letic Field. The other half resulted in.a 13 to 0 conquest of the Ranken Trades School players by Yeatman High’s team. Aé it played yesterday, the mid- city eleven may be classed as a green one and woefully lacking in weight for an I: L. title contender, but what it lacks in bulk is made by a @plendid scrapping spirit and an apparent store of inherent class. The ofly veteran of the 1916 champion- ship eleven available to the squad, captain and center Klaiber, was un- able to play yesterday. Show Well. on Defense. The defense was flawless, the county players being only able to gain first down on one occasion, un- less, otherwise aided by Central pen- alties. The tackling was clean and the Hne was a formidable barrier. What Central lacked in its first game was an offensive punch to carry the ball through the last 20 yards, after smashing the red and white lines for consistent gains. Naturally the team lacks polish as was evinced by its countless penalti¢s and fre- quent fumbles. Coming backfield stars in the per- sons of Wood and Bremser shone brilliantly throughout the play. Wood, fullback, is a brother of Frank Wood, captain of last year’s team. He is built a bit stockier than the famed ; “Hickory” and seems equally adept _-° gat smashing an opposing line. Brem- / ger at right halftack made countless gains, was stalwart on the second- ary defense, and handled the forward pass capably. Central's first touchdown came within the first three minutes of play. Kirkwood received the kickoff on its 30-yard line, could not gain an inch, and,, instead of punting on the fourth down, was thrown back 45 rards on an attempted end run from ick formation. Central took the ball here, made first on three line = bucks, and Roth carried the ball over for the first touchdown. Wood then kicked goal. Walker's men started a new offen- stve in the second period, but it cul- minated unsuccessfully when Wood missed a drop kick from the 25-yard line, Central again held and ran the ball back to the Kirkwood 20-yard mark after receiving it on a punt in miifield. Wood then dropped back and placed a clean drop kick over the goal. The Final Touchdowns. In the third period ye red and Diack hosed -backs rushed the ball from the 30-yard line to the 4-yard mark, where Kirkwood had kicked out of bounds. Roth then carried the ball through center for his second touchdown. Wood tacked on another point. The fourth touchdown came in the final period when a long for- ward pass and off-tackle plays again ‘3 put Roth within scoring distance. | : Goal this time was missed.

Pulling trick plays and working with a sweeping attack, the Webster boys scored at will on their oppo- nents. Time after time the combina- tion of Phillips, Lincoln, Avis and Gibson plowed its way through the line for large gains. After making sure of the victory, Coach Roberts substituted his second } team in the final quarter. Up to that time Phillips and Lincoln had wor- ried their rivals by unusual per- formances. Twice Lincoln jumped Into the air and intercepted St. Charles’ passes and dashed down the field for a touchdown. He skirted the ends, bucked the line and went off- tackle for considerable gains, shaking off many would-be tackiers. ‘Once in the open field, he was nearly sure of crossing the line. Phillips pressed his teammate for the leading role, the speedy quarter- back returning .many punts with great ability.

Fullerton. ~ Offensive Defensive Total Value. Value. Value. White Sox... .921 311 1232 Giants. ......891 303 1194 APPY FELSCH of the Chicago White Sox is one of the great- est balitplayers in the business arfd one of the best hitters of his style of alltime. With the exception of Cobb and Speaker he is the best outfielder in the American League, and some refuse to admit that even the great Tris is better. It need not, therefore, offend New York fans to discover that Benny Kauff rates quite a distance below Felsch in the comparative figures, and that he is second to the Chi- cagoan in all departments of play, even base running, at which Felsch never was supposed to shine. In center, for purposes of a world’s series, the White Sox have a big edge on pure dope. Felsch figures to be one of the hitting stars of tho series, and if I were predicting in- stead of figuring pure dope, I would pick Happy to be the Frank Baker of this series, From the present out- look every ptt of generalship, all of McGraw’s care in selecting pitchers to hamper Collins, Jackson and others of the White Sox, will play straight into Felsch’s hands. Slow to Learn, but Sure. HAVE an idea that a large num- ber of National Leaguers do not realize to the full extent what a good balliplayer Felsch has become. They have the opinion that he is a slow thinker and not a finished man. They are at least a year behind the times if they stick to that belief. It is true that, for quite a time Felsch seemed terribly slow at learning the finer points of play, especially in wetting into the team attack. He seems not to learn very rapigjy, but what he learns he never forgets, and he is one of hte few men who rarely, if ever, repeat a mistake. He finished making his mistakes before the mid- Gle of the season. He can cover more ground than Kauff can, hits left-handed pitching better, hits the ball harder, and can hold his own with the ex-Fed star on the basesg. That sounds like a “dickens of a way” to talk about the great Kauff, but the figures prove each assertion anc the figures fail by many points to show what a_ good ballplayer Felsch has become. He is so good that it ought not to be harmful to sive him part of the press agenting lauff got. Truth is, Felsch does his work so easily that he never hag been praised much. He is almost as good as Speaker in going back after long drives, moves either way with ter- rific speed, and works well with the ether outfielders. He has learned to switch and play batters. He is one of the closest observers in the busi- ness of what his own pitchers are Coing, and makes his shifts back and forth, in and out, in accord with their style of pitching, which is a thing, s° far as I can see, Kauff has not yet mastered. Felsch Hits Ball Hard. _* bat Felsch is a bear. He hits good balls, hits them hard, and takes all the distance possible. He runs the bases with the same ease that he catches long drives, and his Steals are masterpieces. He has sto- len an extraordinary number of bases this season in proportion to the num- ber of times he has started to pilfer. In other words, when he starts he gets there. In looking over Kauff’s record it seems to me he has been caught quite as often as he has suc- ceeded in stealing, although he is one. of the leaders of McGraw’s flying [ squadron on the bases., I think the records up to date show that the men have stolen practically the same num- ber of bases. In one respect alone Felsch falls behind Kauff—he cannot sacrifice as well. Sacrifice hitting, you will find, ip one of the weak spots in the Row- | ‘ A - Sox” Star Outfielder, ‘antf' in World’s Series, Fulferton Picks Former to Be Batting Star Cicotte’s “Shine Ball’’ Is Still a Mystery to Everybody but Himself DDIE CICOTTE’S “shine ball” is considerable “of a mystery to everybody but Ci- cotte himself. His delivery has been O K’d by the president of the American League as perfect- ly legitimate and there is no ground upon which it can be barred, unless the spitball, in any of its variations, goes at the Same time. This delivery has beenycalled _ the “shine ball” because Cli- cotte polishes one spot on the sphere on his pants, and there- fore one spot shines out on it more clearly than the rest of the surface. Players facing’ this delivery say the ball comes up wavering. The revolutions of the lighter spot accounts for this deception. Cicotte. expectorates in his glove, slaps it over the ball, gives it a twist and delivers it. No foreign substance igs used. No trace-of oil, licorice or other foreign unguent hag been de- tected.

Last season he looked a joke for a long time, because he was trying to get away with stuff he put over on the Feds and being laughed at: most of the time. He was placed in a position where he had to change his system of play- ing ball, forget a lot he had learned, and learn the MeGra‘y style of play- ing the game. It is not am easy thing for any player to switch sys- tems, and it /is a\ testimonial to Kauff’s ability that he succeeded in doing it and forgetting many~ of the bad little tricks he picked up in the Fed League. This season he is a lot bettar ball- piayer than he ever was .before, al- though a comparative study of fig- ures. would seem. to indicate he had siipped.a bit. The difference. is in the class, and not in the player. He is better this year than he was last. even during the Ciantgs’ sensational spurt jate last year, and undoubtedly the class of the National League is much higher now. Sometimes Overconfident. AUFF still has some bad habits K —throwing the ball to the wrong spot, for instance, and delay- ing his return throw at times with re reason at all, nor any play in sicht. He probably will not do such things in a world’s series, however, so we may count that out entirely. If Kauff has a fault it is over- confidence, a#fid it is going to be in- teresting to study these two men in the coming series because of the vast difference in their temperaments. Felsch is an easy going, seemingly careless fellow who makes little show, and never seems to get excited. Kauff is ths “cocky” type of ball- player, bubbling over with confi- dence in himself and seemingly ab- solutely certain that a brass band cought to precede him. It is in the attack that these men count most. In this series Kauff stands handicapped before the start because itt is certain he will have dif- ficulty in hitting Cicotte, who is ex- actly the kind of pitcher Kauff doesn’t hit, On the!’ other hand, if McGraw relies upon Schupp and Sal- lee to a large extent, as he seems certain to dp, Felsch will have all the advantage, because that is the style of pitching lie hits very well, and Sal- lee is the kind he hits for long drives down the allays. He is a solid driver, especially when he connects with a left-hander’s fast ball, and hits are “naturals,” that is, terrific drives between the fields, not along the base lines. Hits All Kinds of Pitching. HIS season Felsch has- hit all 6 kinds of pitching, and his hits have been timely. Perritt would trouble him considerably and a left- hander with a slow ball might check him up. Once on first the men are about equal, series, Kauff is a bit more ligtle to pull off some- thing on the /oases. His cockiness and habit tak\ng chances will keep the WHite Sox defense worried all the time. Felsah never will worry the/ Giants. Tf he goes he gxoes unexpectedly and his success has been largely due tp the fact that no one suspected him of it. There is enough atetaronbe between the men, a me of Felsch, to offset New York’s\ superiority in left field, and it looks\as if the estion of su- periority in e outfields rests with the right fielders. We will take up the study of “these tdmorrow—and will #ind a . complication which may affect ll our, figures. The managers figure héavily 4n the right- field question and We wrill be com- pelled to figure on them ,as well as on the mechanical abilitles and the temperaments of the players.

It took just one round of. singles to decide who would meet the local team. In the match between Fred Josties and Ralph Hammond of Ra- cine, the Mound City player had a walkaway. not solve his style of play and suc- cumbed easily by the score \6—0, 6—0 Drewes Not Extended. Theodore Drewes of St. Louis, matched against L. B. Augustine of Racine, did not have things quite so easy, but nevertheless he emerged the victor in the other match of sin- gles. The score in this match was 6—0, 6—3, the Racine player showing a flash of real style in the second set when Drewes was forced to exert himself somewhat to capture the set. The St. Louis team then entered into the doubles with the Racine players and won handily. The score was 6—-2, 6—-2, the same dashing style of play being put up by the St. Louis team in the doubles as they did in the singles. This eliminates the Racine men from the championship battles and the St. Louis and Cincinnati teams will contest for the title. Cincinnati will be represented by N. D. Bene- dict and H. C. Simpson. Both are considered excellent players, but there are many who saw the matches this afternoon who believe that the local players will have to go the lim- it if the championship is to come to the Queen City. FOOTBALL COACHES MEET; MAKE CHANGE IN RULES NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—At a meet- ing of football officials, coaches and players held here tonight for the pur- pose of interpreting the rules gov- erning Walter Camp of Yale, who presided said that from the activity displayed by the men at the various training camps throughout the coun- try, more football would be played here than ever before. All the of- ficials present said that they would willingly give their services at any games which may be arranged at or between army or navy training camps or stations. By a vnanimous vote it was de- cided to cut out the approved ruling regarding the -ball still being in play after it had crossed the side line ex- tended. This was the first time that any approved rule was eliminated by vote or otherwise at any meeting other than a regular one of the Rules Committee, ‘On the motion of Coach Sanford of Rutgers it was decided to recommend to the Rules Committee the nécessity of eliminating. the possibility of a player being cut down from behind. The Rutgers coach also made an ap- peal that the Rules Committee at its next session would adopt the “mul- tiple kick” which he. claimed would be mueh better than the “teeing up” of the ball for a place kick, as now allowed by the rules a ny SOLDAN PLAYS WESTERN; REGULARS BEAT SCRUBS Coach Cook of the Soeldan High School eleven announced yesterday that he had completed arrangements, whereby the Westerh Military Aca- demy team will play Soldan. on Oct, 13.

OSS SO Pwe- [SRQESS SPW oie Miss Gould Wins All but One Game in Tennis Final State Champion Victor Over Miss Helen Johnston in Straight Sets, 6-0, 6-1. Miss Corrine Gould, the 17-year-old women’s state tennis champion and Municipal title holder, completed a perfect season yesterday afternoon, when she won the city feminine court supremacy by defeating Miss Helen Johnston, 6-0, 6-1, in the final round match of the annuwal local tournament at the Triple A. Miss Gould has won each of the 14 tourna- ment matches in which she has com- peted this season. She has not lost a set, nor has any opponent suc- ceeded in winning more than three games in one set from her. Last week Miss Gould played Miss Molla Bjurstedt, women's national cham- pion, and although defeated, made a commendable showing. Miss Gould’s performance in win-, ning three local titles in one sea- s0n {igs unequaled in local tennis cir- cles. She commands an unquestion- able supremacy. In yesterday’s match Miss Johnston did not play up to the full extent of her capability. She appeared nerv- ous and fell down on strokes that she usually makes without effort. Her lone won game came in the middle of the second set on her own service. The women’s city double champion- ‘ships are stfil in progress and will be continued this week. the team matches were played yes- terday.

But for the fact*fhat there will be no more games in the west, after today, one more member of the Huggins’ get his regular turn on the firing line. This gentleman is none other than Oscar Horstman, whose relief work has been a big factor in keeping the Cardinals on the silken carpets of the first division. The young righthander through with a grand exhibition of pitching, yesterday, taming the Phil- lieg 7 to 2. There its, however, 80 much glory in beating Grover Cleve- land Alexander that nearly all other factors entering into a contest w such an instance ocur pale into signifance. That is precisely what befell Horstman. While the Cardinals were slamming Alexander for seven runs and 14 hits, the Phils meager diet of three, hits and: two runs. It was one of the rudest jolts Pat Moran's ace has encountered in” the expiring season. Rogers Hornsby, who has been wi- dencing unmistakable signs of a hit- ting slump, shook off the sicknede yesterday and registered four gon blows in as many tries, two of whi were doubles. He ecored two of the Cards’ seven runs and drove in two more, which its about as much heel could be expected.

The University Club of St. Louis will, barring difficulties which can- not be forecast, come into possession of its new home at Grand and Wash- ington avenues, before the end of next spring, according tosEames & Young, the architécts and supervising constructors. . “The building is‘already erected to about the tenth floor, and is expected to be under cover before the first of the year, after which rapid progress will be made, despite any hard Weather the winter may bring. Among other appropriate decora- tive features which are to distin- guish the club’s new home are six windows in the main entrance vesti- bule. These are to have lead glass with a spot of color sufficiently large’ to contain the coat of arms of six of the higher institutions of learning in the country, including Washington University of St. Louis, Yale, Har- vard, Princeton, ridge. RIVERVIEW GARDENS LOT SALES FOR WEEK EXCEED $15,000 More Than Half the Tract of 255 Acres Reported to Have Been Sold. Sales aggregating $15,150 during division were reported by Sikking & This brings the total this summer to more than $125,000, declared to be the record for St. Louis subdivision properties fo everal years. Diamond Hill, the prettiest part of and the agents report one of the busiest weeks of the season. This opening gave a new supply of de- sirable property whTfth promises to bring a volume of sales equivalent to if not greater than the initial rush tm June. “More than half of the area of the Riverview Gardens tract, which com- prises 255 acres, has been sold,” said Beckwith, “and, in view of the fact that Diamond Hill is the most attrac- tive of the whole, we expect to clean, up the whole tract before snow flies.

BLISTER HANDS OF STH MO. OFFICERS Guard Leaders at ‘Camp Doni- phan May Become Trained Observers From Air, CAMP DONIPHAN,: FORT SILL, Ok. Sept. 29.—Three captains and six lieutenants of the 138th Infantry, formerly the. Fifth Missouri regi- ment, are exhibiting blistered hands as a result of their first lesson in trench digging and the construction of field fortifications. The officers of the Joffre Regiment were ordered to report at the engineering school today to attend a lecture on field for- tifications. After the lecture the lecturing officer invited his ‘“audi- ence™ to grab picks and shovels for a practical demonstration. . The of- ficers worked about two hours in the trenches and they were ready to call it a “day”? when the demonstration fended. The model trench will be used for demonstrative purposes, and the officers who built it will in turn su- pervise the construction of similar fortifications by other officers of the regiment. i The strenuous training schedule laid out by Gen. Wright: for the ee of.the Thirty-fifth division will pm operative Monday morning. program calls for 16 weeks of citaaates 4raining. The drills and combat exercises alone will take up at least 42 hours each week. Wednes- day and Saturday afternoons and Sundays are the only *‘‘open dates” on the schedule.

Commencing Monday morning school for special instruction in evéry department of military science will be opened. None ofthe officers or enlisted men detailed to attend these spective special branches the stu- dent officers and enlisted men will in turn be detailed to act as in- structors for the organizations to which they belong. Special classes for regimental battalion commanders and reg- imental field and staff officers will embrace a comprehensive course of instruction in administrative work and the duties of these officers in the field. There will also be classes for first Sergeants, company clerks, company cooks, company supply Sergeants, company artificers, trumpeters, signal men, mess Ser- geants, bombers, grenadiers, ma- chine gunners, riflemen and com- pany, troop or battery farriers. suard Officers May F'ly. Officers of the various National Guard regiments at Camp Doniphan have been invited to accompany some of the aviators of the ‘aero squadron on their daily flights about tee reservation. The officers accepting this invitation will very probably be given an opportunity to become trained observers. The officers will also be afforded an opportunity to make an ascension in the new French type observation balloon usedg by the 144th Signal Squadron. The balloon is the first of its type built in thisceuntry. It was received at Fort Sill Thursday after- noon. Licut. Pierce of the Machine Gun Company, 138th Infantry, and Sergt. Conrad of the Signal Squadron test- ed out new parachutes this afternoon by dropping them from the balloon at an altitude of 1000 feet. Sand bal- last bags were used for the test.

UIS POST-DISPATCH ~~ ST. LOUIS, MO., SEPTEMBER’ 30, 1917. The Heroine of Servia’s Ruinous Retreat F all the tragedies of the Great War, that of the Servian army’s retreat from Belgrade to Scutari in the win- ter of 1915 remains in- com parable, save per- haps for ths reiterated catastrophes which havo overwhelmed Poland. Napoleon’s retirement from Moscow has been cited as a parallel; but that was a disaster of veteran soldiers, while the Servian retreat was liter-°* ally a national debacle; women and children as well as men were mingled in equal ruin. It is fitting, then, that the Servian cataclysm should have had its heroine. She was Mrs. St. Clair Stobart, an English woman, who, though neither a physician nor a nurse, had the distinction of commanding the First Anglo- with a rank in the Servian army corresponding This was a tremendous honor in a country where Turkish ideas concerning the female sex have long been ascendant, and where the formula used by a man in introducing his wife is: my wife, God forgive me,’”’ and in describing his children: sons and—God forgive me—three daughters.” ; Through indomitable pluck and energy, Mrs. Stobart won the unique praise of bringing her entire unit safely through that calamitous retréat, without the loss of a member, either through death or desertion. She led her command through oceans of mud, through icy torrents and across deadly mountains, along paths thickly strewn with the bodies of dead men, women and children, who had perished of starvation, cold and wounds. At the end she was officially commended by the “Servian War, Min- ister as the commander of “the only column which arrived intact, after a trek which, from first to last, totaled a distance of about eight hun- Servian Field Hospital, with that of Major. dred miles.” Before going to Servia, Mrs. Stobart had unusual experience as a Red Cross executive. She served four years in the Transvaal, returning to Lon- As one of the founders of the Women’s Convoy Corps, she proved in Bulgaria during the first Balkan war (1912-13) that women may don in 1907. be of high use not only as nurses but as hospital physicians and adminis- trators. After the out- break of the present war she established a hos- pital at Brussels, and on its fall was condemned to be shot aS @ spy, : She protested to the man commandant that she ' was engaged in hospital work, to which she says he retorted: ‘“You are English, and whether you are right or wrong, this is a war of annihila- tion.” Escaping execu- tion by a miracle, she was in Antwerp during its bombardment, and later in* charge of a French hospital at Cher- bourg. News of the typhus epidemic in Servia sound- ed in her ears an irrfec- sistible trumpet ‘call, and April 1, 1915, found her on board a packet bound for Saloniki, in charge of a unit of seven women doctors and 18 women nurses, besides attend- ants raising the total number to 45. She estab- lished a hospital at Kra- gujevatz, in Servia, and soon afterwards organ- ized six branch hospi- tals in the ¢ vicinity, where 20,000 men, Women and children were treat- ed not only for typhus, but for diphtheria, tuber- culosis and other dis- eases. Mrs. Stobart was herself sick with typhoid, and narrowly escaped death. In September came rumors of the triple in- vasion which was pre- paring against the little kingdom—from Germany, Austria and Bulgaria. Servia had pleaded in vain with England and France for permission to attack SBulgaria, but these Powers had delu- sions of being able to win Ferdinand of Bul- their side. vian Field Hospital, was only leader able to ex- tricate her anit, without loss of a member, from debacle of a nation—By pluck and will power, English woman drove her column across seas of mud, icy mountains and bridgeless rivers, along paths where dead and dying lay by hundreds, with re German guns ever baying close in pursuit. “This is “I have three madia division, comprising 25,000 troops.

Mrs. Stobart was asked to take her staff and accompany the army as a * flying unit to the front, and to her amazement, the Chief of the Army Medical Department added: “We shall be glad if you will take command of the column. you—without supervision of Servian officers—to take entire charge of material and equipment, as well of the staff. This is, I believe, the first time in the history of Servia that such an appointment has been offered to a woman; but new times, new cust6éms—and we know you can do it.” Her command consisted of two women doctors, four women nurses, a woman cook, two interpreters, a male secretary, two women orderlies, com- missariat officers, 60 Servian soldiers, 30 ox teams and wagons, six auto- mobiles and eventually a railroad train. The unit was attached to the Schu- We ask It is merely considerations of space which prevent a recital of the unit’s activities on the trip north through Nish to the outskirts of Belgrade. The full account may be found in Mrs. Stobart’s book, “The Flaming Sword” But on Oct. 17—when the members-of the unit were joking as to the restaurants they would patronize when they reached Vienna, there came the first order to move southwards—which meant retreat. This was the beginning of the unit’s “Anabasis,” in which the Xenophon was a From here on the story is one of a nation driven through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, pursued by the relentless, German guns.

In the darkness and cold the doctors and nurses dressed wounds .on the roadside by lantern light, around bonfires of hay and straw; and in the morning the dead were buried before the hospi- tal resumed its flight. “An unending stream of refugees passed along the road,” says Mrs. Sto- bart, ‘“‘and whole families of women and children, babies in arms, infants that could just. toddle, boys and young girls, all sheltered at night near us in the woods, con- structing as best they could rough arbors of branches, for protection from rain and wind. We had no time for practical sympathy with these for- lorn people, who in all probability would never see their homes or their men-folk again.” One night the entire unit was in imminent danger of being over- taken by the Germans. A large number of wound- ed were in hand, and three of the six motor cars were lagging behind. No wagons were avail- able, so Mrs. Stobart struggled a mile across marshy fields, tumbling in the dark into half a tiozen ditches, to ask aid from. an army Major whom she knew. He could give her no help, and she hastened back to her column. “There was only one ihing to be done,” she says, “if the whole hos- pital was not to be taken by the enemy. The staff, who usually rode in the motors, must walk; the worst wound- ed muct go in the motord, those who could crawl must crawl, and as for the others——— “The road was abomin- able, with mud and holes, and narrow and broken bridges.

But I must gp.” - | “You will lunch with us?” “No, Professor; I have my packing still to do. I have already bade Miss Grey adieu. In two months I shall see you again.” “You will probably find me a married man.” “Married!” “Yes, I have been thinking of it.” “My dear Professor, let\me congratulate you with all my heart. I had no idea. Who 4s the lady?” “Mrs. O’James is her name—a widow of the same nationality as yourself. But-to return to matters’ of importance. I should be very happy to see the proofs of your paper upon the vermiform appendix. I may be able to furnish you with material for a footnote or two.” “Your assistance will be invaluable to me,” said O’Brien with enthusiasm, and the two men parted in the hall. Tite Professor walked back into the dining room, where his sister was already seated at the luncheon table. “I shall be married at the Registrar’s,” he remarked. “I should strongly recommend you to do the same.” Prof. Ainslie Grey was as good as his word. A fortnight’s cessation of his classes gave him an oppor- tunity which was too good to let pass. Mrs. O’James was an orphan, without relations and almost without friends in the country. There was no obstacle in the way of a speedy wedding. They were married, ac- cordingly, in the quietest manner possible, and went off to Cambridge together, where the Professor and his charming wife were present at several academical ob- servances, and varied the routine of their honeymoon by incursions into biological laboratories and medical libraries. Scientific friends were loud in their con- gratulations, not only upon Mrs..Grey’s beauty, but upon the unusual quickness and intelligence she dis- played in discussing physiological questions. The Pro- fessor was himself astonished at the accuracy of her information. “You have a remarkable range of knowl- edge for a woman, Jeannette,” he remarked upon more than one occasion. He was even prepared to admit that her cerebrum might be of the normial weight. One foggy, drizzling morning they returned to Birches- pool, for the next day would reopen the session, and Prof. Ainslie Grey prided himself upon having never once in his life failed to appear in his lecture room at / the very stroke of the hour. Miss Ada Grey welcomed them with a constrained coréiality, and handed over the keys of office to the new mistress. Mrs. Grey pressed her warmly to remain, but she explained that she had already accepted an invitation which would. engage her for some months. The same evening she departed for the South of England. A couple of days later the maid carried a card just after breakfast into the library where the Professor sat revising his morning lecture. It anounced the arrival of Dr. James McMurdo O’Brien. Their meeting was effusively genial on the part of the younger man, and coldly precise on that of his former teacher. “You see there have been changes,” said the Pro- fessor. “So I heard. Miss Grey told me in her letters and I read the notice in the British Medical Journal.

The doctors had promised the violinist that he would have the use of his hands again for play- ing; and the promise was kept. The British War Department has devised a mixture said to be even more effective than ambrine. The formu- la is as follows: Betanaphtho] resublimed, 1-4 per cent; eucalyptis oil, 2 per cent; olive oil, 5 per cent; paraffin molle, 25 per cent, and paraffin durum, 67 3-4 per gent. After the burn is washed in sterile water and free with an electric apparatus like that used by hairdressers, the paraffin mixture, at a temperature of 50 Centigrade, is coated over the burn either with a spray or a broad camel’s hair brush. A thin layer of cotton wool is next applied, then another coating of paraffin, and the whole is bandaged. The burns are usually dressed daily, and the paraffin treatment is continued until the burn is sufficiently healed to dress it with boric or tale powder. The wax coating completely excludes air and moisture, ‘with the result that the protected tissues rapidly renew themselves and scarification is prevented. The third and most interesting section of this story concerns the young American engineer whose common sense told him that the old method of local anesthesia by means of injecting cocaine would be worthless in wounds of the area inflicted in this war, and whose opin- ion vented itself in the characteristically American _ words: “What the wounded soldiers in Europe want is some- thing you can slosh on by the bucketful.”’ Today, after repulses from high authorities which would have filled anyone less self-confident and per- sistent with despair, Gordon Edwards’ nikalgin, accord- ing to a correspondent of Collier’s Weekly in Paris, is being used in all the French military hospitals—it is sup- plied to them free of charge through the beneficence of Miss Anne Morgan—and in many of the British and Ital- ian hospitals. - ' The ingredients of nikalgin—a name made of two Greek words, signifying “victory over pain’—are a se- cret.

But in December, 1914, he obtained permission to give a demonstration at the Hospital Buffon.

Far into the cavities were usually carried foreign substances which speedily set up infec- tion. The majority of deaths were due not primarily to the injuries, but to blood poisoning. The problem called for a disinfectant of greater strength than any previously in use, and for a system by which the deepest woand might be constantly irrigated. At the military hospital near Compeigne, where the buildings were more than once under fire from German shells, Dr. Carrel, himself a famous scientific investi- gator and Nobel prize winner, and Dr. Dakin undertook to find a solution. After eight months of experimental study in the laboratory and of six months of practical tests in the French hospitals, the scientists announced that they had succeeded. They had experimented with more than 200 different drugs in various combinations. The Dakin solution, the ingredients of which were made public by the inventors, is based on hypochlorite of lime, the most powerful disinfectant known. It had been previously unavailable because of the rapidity with which it dedomposes, and also its destructive effect on the tissues, owing to its extreme corrosiveness. The first defect was overcome by the addition of boric acid, which gave stability; and the second by an intermixture of carbonate of lime, which neutralizes causticity. The technique for administering the disinfectant was devised by Dr. Carrel. It consists of the complete irriga- tion of the wounds by means of a rubber tube with many Unprecedented depth, area and pain of wounds in modern war stimulate dis- coveries said to mark epoch in medi- cal art—Dakin solution, with tech- nique devised by Dr. Alexis Carrel, lessens amputations 50 per cent— Dr. de Sandfort’s paraffin treatment for burns and frostbite works won- ders in restoring tissues—Romance of new system of local anesthesia, invented by Gordon Edwards, young American electrical engineer. N the year 1536 the famous barber-surgeon, Am- broise Pare, accompanied the French armies to the siege of Turin. When the city fell, he en- tered with the troops and went into a stable to lodge his horse. There he found three soldiers of the enemy propped against the wall, their features “all changed” by gunpowder burns and their clothes still smoldering from the fire. “As I was looking at them with pity,” Pare records, “there came an old soldier, who asked me if there were any way to cure them. I said no. And then he went up to them and cut their throats, gently, and without ill- will toward them. Seeing this great cruelty, I told him branches and perforated with numerous small holes. Thus a constant sterilizing flow is kept up through the wounded tissues, and every pocket and corner is thor- oughly cleansed. “Our experiments have proved,” said Dr. Carrel, “that in a sterilized cavity thus protected, nature’s healing process goes on with a rapidity hitherto unknown. The Dr. Alexis Carrel of New York, whose improve- ment on the Dakin method of draining deep wounds has saved the lives and limbs of thou- sands of soldiers. Much greater difficulty in obtaining the adoption of his treatment was met by Dr. de Sandfort, largely because he was a villain; he answered he prayed God, when he should be in such a plight, he might find someone to do the s* me for him, that he should not linger in misery.’ The gunpowder burns of the sixteenth century were no doubt child’s play compared with the unparalleled savageries introduced into warfare by German kultur through its sprays of flaming tar and petroleum, and through the hideous gangrene infections induced ~ its poisonous gases; but modern science instead of confessing defeat by putting the victims to death, has taken up the challenge and is devising new methods of healing, so that more and more un- fortunates may be snatched from the arms of the Teuton Moloch. The excessive depth, area and agony of the wounds produced by high- explosive shells and liquid fire sprays and bombs, the terrible prevalence of frostbite during winter campaigns in the trenches, and the swift and deadly infections caused by gas, made obsolete duration of the treatment is abridged about two-thirds, and the number of amputations diminished 50 per cent. In certain cases complete healing has occurred in one- tenth of the time required under ordinary treatment.” The reduction of operations gains its importance from the fact that one of the dangers of deep-lying wounds, cften involving broken bones, was that of infected frac- tures, frequently necessitating amputations. Dr. Carrel’s renown as a conscientious it was considered by many of the medical profession that his exploitation of ambrine was unethical. He obtained patents and issued his solution as a proprietary com- pound; and although revealing that it was composed of paraffin wax and essence of amber, refused to make pub lic the proportions in which those ingredients, and others, were combined. Therefore, his claims for the paraffin treatment of burns and frostbites were bitterly opposed by the medical fraternity, not only in France, but in this country, where the Journal of the American Medical Association de- nounced him as a “charlatan” and am- brine as a “nostrum.” But after struggling for recognition almost since the beginning of the war, Dr. de Sandfort last winter finally came into his own, when President Poincare of France decorated him with the cross of a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, in reward for the feats, which read almost like miracles, ac- complished by his treatment in restor- ing faces and limbs which had been investigator ; the pre-war methods at the disposal of burned almost beyond human sem- : surgeons and physicians.

The following is taken from a cir- Issy-les-Moulineaux, near Paris. The cular by the British War Office: “Observations of Dr. de Sandfort’s treatment and ex- periments with ambrine in military hospitals indicates that burns healed with rapidity, constitutional symptoms rapidly abated, and pain was reduced to a minimum. Scarring appeared to be obviated, or, at any rate, was not apparent. The need for grafting large burns appeared to be avoided. The burns healed so rapidly with healthy granulations that there appeared nothing to be gained by grafting. The patients were singularly free from sepsis. Mild burns healed with singular rapidity, and severe cases recovered which would have been unlikely to recover under the ordinary methods of treatment. third—a system of local anesthesia employing a prepara- tion known as nikalgin—has only recently been an- nounced in the lay press. It was developed by an Ameri- can electical engineer, Gordon Edwards of San Fran- cisco. The last case gains a certain romance from the fact that Edwards is not a physician, and was compelled to combat the almost insurmountable prejudice of the profession against the layman. At the outset of the war, surgeons found themselves confronted with a pressing problem in the great depth of the wounds caused by shrapnel fragments and the fire and also the frankness with which he and his colleague promptly made public the secrets of their discovery, led with little delay to the adoption of the Dakin solution in most of the allied hospitals. The Rockefeller In- stitute, at a cost of $200,000, built a hospital in New York for the instruction of American surgeons in the treat- ment, and Dr. Carrel was summoned to return to this country in order to take charge of the hospital. Admir- ers of Dr. Carrel maintain that the researches of him- self and Dr. Dakin have already been the means of sav- ing thousands of lives. : * * * The experience of those who had witnessed the ‘ results of burns after liquid fire was that ambrine treat- a ment would save many lives and accelerate the recovery 1 of all burns.” t This is the cautious official language. Beside it place 't the testimony of a layman, an American woman, whose i. observations have been confirmed by experts. She wrote c from the St. Nicholas Hospital: 5 “T saw the most wonderful cures wrought on suffer- y ing men that I have ever seen in my life.

William sihcahan with the nid ee buttons and pullers, like any poor Lieutenagt, who looks upon men sporting au English-made dress shirt as veritable plungers. Of socks, never above a dozen pairs are in use, half-yellow, half-brown, and, like the underwear, of lisle; but the Hohenzolliern house laws seem to impose no restriction as to handkerchiefs, which evidently come grosswise, all, like the shirts, drawers and socks, inscribed with “W” and the royal crown. His majesty’s washstand is of truly royal dimensions and elaborateness. To it the bath furnishes a formidable contrast, being an ordinary zinc tub, painted. But the most astonishing thing about it is its situation. Ger- many'’s Kaiser, twice a King, as many times a Grand Duke, 18 times a Duke, three times a Margrave, once a Burgrave, twice a Prince, nine times a Count and 15 times a Seigneur, besides being a Bishop, bathes behind a curtain in a stuffy corridor, the connecting link ‘be- tween his dressing room and the conjugal bedchamber. The love of risque stories is a Hohenzollern failing; contemporary writers agree that Frederick the Great shunned woman's society because it obliged him to bridle his tongue and observe the ordinary decencies of life; the “romantic Frederick William IV was a trafficker in classical and modern pornographic literature, and the present Kaiser's grossness of speech is notorious. * * * Three-quarters of the time when the public imagines William to be wrestling with problems of the day he sits on a billiard table with the chief members of his mili- tary and civil households standing round him, telling stories and listening to tales affecting personages of the court here and abroad. And while this lascivious tattle is carried on, her majesty sits, perchance, in the cup room, magnificently gowned, knitting shapeless little woollen caps for orphan asylums and talking religion and cheap charity schemes to her Grand Master or to the much-beloved Von der Knesebeck. What contrasts! [I often thought to myself. The head of the nation, whose wnoonatus iedustes is the talk of the continent, vainly trying to kill time with buffoonery; the sovereign lady, “mother of the poor,” working penny caps in a gown the cost of which would keep for 10 years the peor boy or girl for whom the knitting thing is intended. It is a saying at court: “Give the Kaiser an up-to-date rendering of the ‘Merry Jests of King Louis XI’ and you will receive a standing invitation to accompany him on his northland trips; tell him something more indeli- cate than the “Tattle of the Nuns of Poissy’ and he will book you for an ambassadorship.” While not particularly loving toward his wife, the Emperor honors her with excessive jealousy, and is be- side himself with rage if a man servant, ever so innocent- ly, looks at her majesty when she is dressed in a decollete costume. As Napoleon bounced M. Leroy, the Worth of his times, for complimenting Marie Louise on her fine shoulders, so William deals unmercifully with officials and servants who venture to look at his wife. The Kaiser has many nicknames—Reise Kaiser (Drum- mer Emperor), Gondola Billy, Wilhelm der Ploetzliche (William the Sudden) being the most common, but the people of the palace call him Der Enzige (The Only), with apologies to Frederick the Great, who also enjoyed that title, though for very different reasons. From August, 1888, to May, 1890, leaving out hunting trips and others of a private character, William went to Stockholm and Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Mu- nich, Vienna, Rome, Hapsburg, Leipsig, Breslau, Stettin, Bueckburg, Olderburg, Wilhelmshafen, Schwedt, Weimar, Brunswick, Dresden, Osborne, Sandown Bay, Aldershot, Carlsruhe, Strassburg, Metz, Muenster, Minden, Han- over, Schwerin, Athens, Dessau, Darmstadt, Worms, Bre- men, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Altenburg, Koenigsburg, altogether stopping and holding court in 37 cities and towns in Germany and abroad, many of which were vis- ited three or four times and all withim a short space of a year and 10 months. To find excuses for such almost perpetual absence from the seat of government and quiet public opinion on the score of incessant junketings, all sorts of excuses are invented by William and his suite. But the real motive is a morbid restlessness of which the Kaiser is possessed, Ahasuerus, from town to city, over seas and mountains. Traveling is such a mania with the Reise-Kaiser, that, when business of state or the fact that there is nobody or nothing to visit forbids his going abroad, he occa- sionally spends a night in his railway carriage, stalled at Wildpark Station, only five minutes from the Neues Palais at Potsdam, on the plea that on the following morning he must be in Berlin at an unearthly hour. In the early part of the summer of 1895 he indulged in this queer pastime with increasing regularity until one night in June, when about to drive to the station from some festivity held at the Marble Palace, the Kaiserin took courage to threaten an invasion of his bachelor quar- ters, which, she insisted, must possess some special at- traction. William desisted from following his inclina- tion then and for several months. Her majesty’s inter- ference was well timed, for a number of the royal serv- ants, underpaid and nourishing a sneaking spirit of in- surrection, had conspired to inform some meniber of the opposition (with a view to interpellating the Min- ister of Railways in the Reichstag) of the fact that his majesty was in the habit of using a public depot for his sleeping apartment. Of course, the legislative body had no business inquiring into the sovereign’s manner of spending his nights, but the public was interested in the accompanying circumstance that when his majesty Chose to repose at Wildpark, traffic was seriously disturbed in order that the mighty one’s sleep might not be interfered with. * * * If disgruntled servants had told this tale to Liebknecht or Bebel, the inevitable discussion might have seriously marred his majesty’s enjoyment of the Wilhelm Canal opening festivities then about to take place. The Heroine of Servia’s Ruinous Retreat (Continued from Page 1.) | ‘(Continued from Page 5). and that scourges him, a crowned tinually, all through the night, obliged to lift the wounded out of the ambulances and carry them over the dangers, while the motors—those wonderful Ford cars— performed acrobatic feats inconceivable to orthodox chauffeurs at home.” And when day came “I saw once more the nightmare picture of drab-dressed, mud-stained soldiers, splashing with their sandaled feet in the sloppy mud; some- times stumbling, then rising, smothered with mud, without a word; weren't there worse troubles than that? ‘Hleba?’ (Bread?) lt asked. ‘None for three days,’ was the answer. “Commanders of other“@olumns often urged me to sleep during the night treks of the wagons, but I preferred to be at the head of the column by night as well as by day, so that the men should feel I was not asking them to endure what I would not endure myself.’”’ Mrs. Stobart recalls having gone as long as 81 hours without sleep or rest. She was riding horseback, and sometimes caught herself dozing in the saddle, Glimpses of the horrors of this appal- ling hegira of a whole nation occur in Mrs. Stobart’s diary of the retreat. Wa- gons filled with little children; the oxen, weary and hungry, led by women, also weary, hungry and footsore. I saw one woman, dragging by a rope two tired oxen drawing a wagon, in which were eight small children. I saw a tiny boy leading two tiny calves drawing a cart contain- ing a tiny baby. Lsaw a woman carrying her two babies, one on her back and one in front; and the baby on her back was knocked off. by the horns of a passing ox. “Among the refugees were thousands of Austrian prisoners. They were mostly Austrian Serbs, and their one dread was that they might fall into the hands of their former rulers. Half a dozen of these prisoners straggied into our camp at Kup- el, and their eager gratitude when we gave them. some food was horrible to witness. “The multitude, as it fled, uttered no sound. Grief, when it wails, is pitiful enough, but grief borne in silence betrays a tenser tragedy. Had the misery in those breaking hearts been uttered in a single cry, that cry, caught and _ re-echoed through the mountains, must have brok- en the drum of the ear of God. * * * The thought dominant in my mind was the irreligion of the world. Crimes-—the most gigantic crimes—were. triumphant everyWhere in Burope, and the exponents of religion were silent.” The column came to a swollen river, in which a Servian General narrowly missed drowning. “There was no bridge,” re- lated the author, “the water came over the steps of the pony carriage in which) ae ee ; he drove, and the carriage nearly over- turned many times. I was ready to res- _gubmerged myself.

It was half cream, and the daugh- ter of the house warmed it. I had not realized till 1 found myself gulping like a greedy puppy, that we had lately not been overfed.” Finally the miserable cavalcade came to the border of Montenegro, the land of the Black Mountains. Roads ceased, ex- cept for the tracks trampled out in the snow by the thousands of refugees who had passed before, and these traversed passes a mile high, across snow, ice and boulders, unbroken forests, seas of mud and rivers without bridges. Once, at the top of an incline, Mrs. Stobart’s horse slipped and both rolled to the bottom. “We picked ourselves up, shook our- selves. * * *® There was no one to say, ‘Poor dear, are you hurt?” Men who were passing, passed; a broken leg, or even a broken neck, of what consequence would such trifles be in the general havoc? + * +s “No hay was procurable for the ani- mals, and all we could give them to eat was dead beach leaves, which we unburied from the snow. We slept around the fire and prevented ourselves from slipping down the mountain sides by logs of wood placed at our feet. * * * Along the track men by the hundreds lay dead-—— dead from cold and hunger, their eyes staring at the irresponsive sky, and no one could stop to bury them. Worse still, men lay dying from cold and hunger, and no one could stay to tend them. * * * It is believed that no less than 10,000 hu- man being lie sepulchered in those moun- tains.”’ One day in Albania the column heard loud and continuous firing near at hand. “We were soon told in explanation that a party of Arnauts, or Albanians, had en- trapped, for loot, some convoys which were close behind us, in a narrow gorge, and they were now murdering the mem- bers of the convoy. I have since heard that the wife and eight children of the Commissariat Major, including two boys who had walked with me one night, were all murdered that day, with many others, | by these Arnauts.”’ if You are Astneyed with Unwelcome Hair or Fuss om Your Face, Arma or Neck, Use M.

As the rout proceeded, the motor cars were lost one after another; the starving oxen, when unable to drag another step onward, were slaughtered and devoured; all the medical] stores and instruments of the unit had to be abandoned, and the carts were cut down from four wheels to two. But the greatest difficulty was in obtaining provisions in that devastated country. Mrs, Stobard tells over and over again how she herself went into villages where her mhen had been denied food for them- selves and their animals, and by dint of never taking the word ‘“‘No” succeeded in obtaining provisions; how she invari- ably led the way into danger, thus sham- ing the men into following her; and how more than once her indomitable energy prevented them from giving up the strug- gle and sitting down to await capture by the Bulgars. But there were some amus- ing incidents, such as the visit of a Mo- hammedan Albanian to the camp. “Tl was much worried by his trousers,” she related, ‘‘for instead of fastening nice- ly and safely around the waist, like Chris- tian trousers, these fastened below the hip. Until I learned from experience that my fears were groundless, the trousers of the Albanian gentleman gave me much anxiety. I was possessed by a shy curi- osity, which was never gratified, to know how they kept up; but an accident never occurred in my presence.” On another occasion, when the only Rheumatism A Heme Cure Given by One Who Had It In the spring of 1893 I Was attacked by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheuma- tism. 1 suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years, lL tried remedy after remedy, anid decitor, but such relief as I received was oniy temporary.

The floor was filthy, but I was about to go to bed upon it, like the rest of the unit, when Maj. A. very politely came up to me and invited me to share the tiny platform on which his mattress was laid; the floor there was less dirty than elsewhere, as it was raised and away from the traffic. I accepted, and, raised regally above the others, the Major and | slept side by side; but it all seemed so natural that we didn’t even smile. I should like to meet that Major again. We could laugh at it now.” gain, in a Montenegrin village, Mrs. Stobart and numerous other men and women were herded into one room for the night. Among them was a priest. “At 10 o’clock he looked at his watch, and then, with calm deliberation, removed his trousers, For a moment [ was in trepida- tion. What was coming next? I looked round to see if the girls were asleep. Their eves were shut. I couldn’t take mine off the priest. He sat down again on the chair, folded his trousers, placed them on his lap, went to sleep, sitting boit upright, and snored vigorously all night long. The trousers removal had been a danger sig- nal, to keep off talkative people, or people who might want his chair.” On Dec. 20 the unit at last reached Scu- tari. Mrs. Stobart took an Italian boat and reached Brindisi on Christmas day; she enjoyed her first “good, sit-down, hot meal’ in nine months the next evening in Rome, and arrived in London, by way of Paris, on Dec. 29. If Too Fat Get More Fresh Air Eat All You Need, Including Candy. Reduce Your Weight. Here’s the Secret. Lack of fresh air, it is said, weakens the oxygen-carrying power of the blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu- lates and the action of many of the vital organs is hindered thereby. The heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is destroyed. Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy, and if nature is not assisted in throwing it off a serious case of obesity may result. When you feel that you are getting too stout take the matter in hand at once, Don't wait until your figure has become a joke and your heaith ruined through car- rying around a burden of unsightly and | unhealthy fat. Spend some time daily in the open air; breathe deeply, and get from any drug- | gist a small box of oil of korein capsules; | take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Also follow the simple directions that come with the box. A testing supply of oil of korein cap- sules, with interesting book, will be mailed free (in plain envelope) if you write to Korein COmpany, 118 East 28th St.. 502D New York, N. Y. Weigh yourself every ftew days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Oil of Korein is absolutely harmiess, is pleasant to take, and helps the digestion. To those who realize that overstoutness imperiis health in numerous ways, in ad- dition to constant mental and physical discomfort, this suggestion to try a -sim- ple, harmiess, reliable means of probable speedy relief «*°uld be- mest welcome.— ADV. héihnes * LOS aRAO IE Lh AE ER at TEED PPE OO eR a, Se Rg eee . 4 ; C € é f t i t : C — — of te A eR fb ce oe « 5 bee 4, Pr oot ede FR teed cH es “ gone

By Alice Curtice Moyer-Wing. HERE were hoofbeats behind us—rapid ones—and as they slowed down to the gait.at which I was holding La Belle, over a spot of particularly rugged road, a pleas- ant enough voice accosted me. “I am traveling this road a couple of miles myself,” it said. One could see at a glance that he was a man of the city and that he had an air of one who commands. ‘“Per- haps an employer of many people,” I thought. ‘“Per- haps”—— z But here '. continued: “I heard your speech last 'SBunday. By the way, isn’t this a fine Indian sum- mer morning?” “Glorious,’’ I agreed. “I was just thinking of the days when I used to associate Indian Summer with Apaches and would shy at thickets of underbrush lest a horde of them come out and scalp me.” “And it was just about this time of the year when a ‘fellow was started to school with a tin lunch pail hanging | S 5 to him. The pail was considerably lightened, I remem- _ ber, by the time he reached the schoolhouse. Gee! He - just had to have something to console him on the road, the old days” feeling himself a sad martyr to the cause of education.” “Oh, were you reared in the country, too?’ I asked with interest. “Just a little. And it was so long ago that I remem- ber only a very few of the sensations. Indian Summer and the district school are among them. “But, as I was saying, I heard your speech last Sun- a day and have just been waiting for a chance to, person- ally, record my objections. First of all, I want to say that I voted against suffrage in your last campaign in this State, and I instructed all my men to do so. And when”—— “You instructed your men!” I interrupted hotly. “You instructed your mera! And ‘your men’ probably thought they were living in free America! They are men who, no doubt, would fight desperately at the idea of being ruled by Kings, but were afraid to have an opinion of their own with you as their employer.” “But about my objections,” he continued with experi- enced exasperation. ‘One of them is the fact that wom- en will not vote when they have the opportunity. And another (without giving me a chance to protest) is be- cause all women do not want to vote. Another is, that women will be insulted at the polls. And another is this: _ It will make the women mannish to vote. I hate to see women trying to imitate men. I must leave you at this turning. Don’t get all fussed up, now, over my not giv- ing you a chance to combat these objections. You couldn't convince me, no matter what you said. My mind is made up and I never change it. I am boss in my own house, and I mean to remain boss. No woman suffrage for me. Good- by. . “By the way,” he. called, looking over his shoulder, “you are not the first person who has heard these ob- jections of mine. I’m doing all I can against you.” “Then why didn’t you come out in the open and de- clare yourself last Sunday, when I asked for a discus- sion of the question publicly, if you are so eager to have your views known?” I asked. “That isn’t my way of fighting, if you want to know,” he replied. “And they say that it is women who will die for the last word, La Belle,” I said wrathfully. I drew up and looked after him as he galloped away. “If only he would let me reply,” I said. ‘‘You could overtake him, La Belle, with both eyes closed, if we were to suddenly remem- ber that that is also our road—but it's no use. He wouldn’t listen. I have seen people like him before. People who make statements—just statements—and then refise to prove them. Let’s forget him.” But all day he was in my mind. His insolent, exasper- ating manner had “riled’’ me, as my Ozark friends would Say, More than I liked to admit. I kept thinking of the replies I should have liked to make and kept hoping that somebody would have a chance to combat him. We spent the night at the home of the oldest inhab- itant of the neighborhood. This oldest inhabitant had lived in this section of the Ozark country long before its settlers had seen a railroad; when “road agents” were hair-raising realities and travelers were taking their lives in their hands to make a journey. She kept up a lively chatter about these old, perilous, primitive days as she laid the table for supper. “Some people wonders that I can git about so well,” she said. “I reckon it’s because I’ve never had time to give up and stop. I'd a heap ruther wear out than rust out, I tell ‘em, so I’ve jist kept a-goin’.” There walp't 3 word said about woman -suffrage till we drew up chairs before the fireplace for a talk. “The children won't git home till sorter late,” she ex- plained, “maybe 9 o'clock. It’s a long way to town. Takes ‘em all day and part of the night to make the trip.” She threw on another pine knot. “The nights is shore gittin’ chilly awful early. I look fer a early frost and a long, cold winter. I never seen the corn shucks as thick as they air this year. All the signs pint to a hard winter.” There was silence for a moment. My hostess poked the fire, brushed some ashes from the hearth and said i thoughtfully: ‘“They's' 4d heap of people that thinks that ‘aged folks lives in the past and don’t want toisee new things come abort. But it'all depends upon the person. Some of the biggest: howlers fer them good old days that os 4 love to vad i about is rouge: don't know y mnt wen but they jist do. When things go wrong, it’s plumb the fash- ion to blame the times fer it, and to hanker fer the days that’s gone—and a heap of people would ruther be dead than out of fashion. Why, I can remember hearin’ my great-grand- father beratin’ the times he was liv- in’ in and pinin’ fer the days that was gone. People has always done it. But I’m shore glad that I ain't that a way myself, - “But what I’m aimin’ to tell you is that that feller frum the city had dinner here today. I don’t reckon you’ve run across him. He's the one that’s jist a-ridin’ around fer his health (a-lookin’ at timber land and a-talkin’ his head off). I heard aif about him and I shore laid a trap fer him. I wasn’t goin’ to let him git away with all the argyment on his side like he has been a-doin’ around here. They’s a heap of us in this settlement that believes like you do, and this feller, he just cain't stand it. Seems like he ain’t happy unless he puts a little drap of pizen here and a little drap there, tryin’ to undo it all. He happened in about 11 o'clock and as it was a right smart piece to the next house he was willin’ enough to stay fer dinner. ‘‘Grandma,’ he says, helpin’ his- self to the third piece of chicken, ‘I don't reckon you take any stock in this here worman sufferage that is goin’ the rounds in these parts.’ “*“Why not?’ I asks. ““Well,’ he says, ‘wouldn’t you ruther have the times like they was when you was young? Don’t you long fer ‘*Young feller,’ I says, ‘I ain't makin’ the days and I ain’t responsible fer the time passin’ ner fer things changin’.

Il was calculatin’ on that when I fried it. That was the trap I set fer him—that plate of fried chicken. So I says right back: ‘All the people ain't never wanted the same thing at the same time since the world commenced, and as long as it stands they never will. But as to whether the majority of the wom- en wants the vote, the best proof is the way they take keer of it after they git it,’ I says. ‘It jist happens that I have childern livin’ in states where women has voted a right smart while, and the fact that they vote as gin- erally as the men and sometimes.a little more so, is proof to a person with jist half a eye that they do want the vote, and wanted it all along, even when some of them thought they didn’t. A hundred and fifty years ago,’ I says, ‘the big majority of people didn’t keer nothin’ about the American Revolution. It was jist a handful that was interested in independence. But see how they tuck to it when they once got it. And I can remember the time when a argyment that some people used agin doin’ away with slavery was the fact that so many of the slaves ob- jected to their own freedom.

In theif dgitation, they began to cause trouble. The next day the Captain had this case investigated. It appeared, however, to have been entirely harmless. | From the Argentine newspapers which we found on board the last two steamers we discovered that Admiral Craddock had taken the “Good Hope” with him to the southward and had therefore shifted his flag. The “Good Hope,” ‘““Monmouth” and “Glasgow” had remained in Montevideo for several days and celebrated, just as they would have done during peace. Craddock and his Flag Lieutenant, Cumming, were pictured as heroes in all the newspapers. Rut there is no use in grumbling over the unfriendly action of the neutral Uruguayians. 8 OCTOBER. The first rays of the rising sun had barely begun to paint the Eastern heavens red when another steamer, was sighted. She set her flag at once, but soon hauled it down again when she recognized us. But we did not have to see her flag to recognize the colors of her sm@kepipe—blue funnel, with black top and a broad white band-——as belonging to one of the English steamers of the firm of Lamport & Holt of Liverpool. We were close aboard her by 7 o'clock. On her stern was the proud name “Cervantes.” The signal of the prize officer told us the following: ‘4500 tons of cargo, fodder, sugar, hides and wool. The steamer came from South America and is heading for Liverpool. The crew consists of 43 men, practically all of whom are English, includ- ing four passengers from Pun- ta Arenas and Rio Grande do Sul.”’ These four were some- thing new and were thankful- ly received as a welcome di- version. After these 47 were received by their compatriots and fel- low sufferers in captivity on the “Krefeld’’—the transship- ment was accomplished very because previously clothes—the they had aifll packed __ their the blowing up. He had de- vised a new scheme (the mem- ory of “Bowes Castle” still rankled!); the bombs were secured outboard below the water line. We all anxiously awaited the result, and this time we were not disappoint- ed. The explosion tore a great hole in her. The steamer sank very rapidly. About noon she painfully rose up out of the water for the last time, and then shot, stern first, down into the depths. There were now about 300 involuntary guests aboard the steamer “Krefeld.” The Cap- tain decided it was time to send these unnecessary eat- ers away. He therefore called Capt. Visth aboard for a conference. A natural harbor, not too near, had to be chosen for their landing. The Captain decided on Ten- erifa as being the best suited for the purpose. In order to get an idea of the ‘chaos of races” on the “Krefeld,” attention is invited to the following sum- mary. On the 11 steamers captured since 1 September (excluding ‘“‘Bowes Castle’’) there were: ; Englishmen, 205 (of whom two were women); 8 Finns, 7 Russians, 1 Belgian, 2 Frenchmen; total of 223 citizens of enemy countries. Chinese, 107; 22 Spaniards, 10 Hollanders, 13 Swedes, 4 Americans, 2 Italians, 3 Chileans, 4 Norwegians, 1 Dane, $ Swiss, 2 Mexicans, 1 Ecuadorian, 1 Cuban, 1 Greek, 1 Arab (Mohammedan); total of 175 citizens of neutral countries. All told, there were, therefore, 20 different nationali- ties! But before the steamer was released another addition arrived. About 11 p. m. the lights of a steamer hove in sight and we brought her to with a blank shot about midnight. In answer to our question she signaled back “*Pruth’ of London.” She had 2300 tons of barley and 3800 tons of saltpeter from Chile and was proceeding to St. Vincent under charter. We intended to sink the steamer the next day. After sending a watch crew aboard her she remained stopped close to us. 9 OCTOBER. Early in the morning the crew of the “Pruth” was transferred and then the vessel was sunk. She sank about 10 o’clock. Shortly after noon we stopped the Spanish mail steamer “Cadiz.” Her decks swarmed with passngers, and, of course, they all ran to the side towards’ us in or- der to stare at us, thereby giving the large steamer a heavy list. Those passengers capable of judging such things must have wondered concerning the appearance of our ship. The results of the constant coaling could not be erased entirely. There was only one thing as immaculately white as it was during peace times, and that was our flag. 7 They could not help being astonished over the ap- pearance of our cutter’s crew. They thought we were approaching starvation. But that was not the way our men looked. The excellent, sufficient and ever-fresh sup- plies of our prizes agreed with them remarkably well. The sun had burned them a reddish brown. They looked like Indians. We could have used them as medical ad- vertisements. The cutter’s crew were not exceptions to the general rule. The all-around physical condition of the men was very good. Had it not been it would have been impossible for them to have stood the strenuous work of coaling and hoisting cargo out of steamers in this glowing heat. Naturally, the firemen suffered most from the effects of the heat. Therefore they did not ap- pear to be so robust and full of strength and health as did the seamen. But,even among them there were none seriously il. _ i : ih. ee _ The steamer “Cadiz” wag released very soon and then showed her gratitude by a vigorous blowing of the steam _. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

We headed for the rendezvous of the “Asuncion” and ‘‘Farn.” Our most successful week lay behind us. Our last coaling on 1 October had certainly paid for itself. Since 5 October we had captured a steamer each day. TAKING LEAVE. 11 OCTOBER. About 3 o'clock the following afternoon, » ® .as the “KARLSRUHE” approached the place where the ‘“‘Asuncion” waited, the lookout reported three steamers ahead. He was scolded for not being able to count up to three. He refused to change his opinion and soon we, on the bridge, could make out six mastheads that were soon followed over the horizon by three vessels. One was running away at high speed. The others remained quietly lying where they were. At the same time our radio operator reported that the “Asuncion” was yelling for help as she was being chased by an enemy ship. The running steamer, therefore, could not be other than the “Asuncion.” We quieted her and soon thereafter she ap- peared over the horizon, Meantime the “KARLSRUHE” had increased her speed and was rapidly approaching the other two steamers. One of them hoisted the German flag. That was the “The steamer ‘Lynrowan’ sank about 3 p. m.” “Farn!’’ The other pulled and hauled on the English flag. We had to laugh! Capt. Lubinus then told us the following story: Shortly before the “KARLSRUHE” came in sight a steamer ap- peared at the rendezvous flying the English flag. There- upon Lubinus hoisted the English flag on the ‘Farn.”’ The Englishman hoisted his signal number, “‘ ‘Condor’ of London,” and asked the “Farn”’ for her name and desti- nation, which he quickly gave. Then there followed a long series of flag signals asking if the “‘Farn’” had any war news, whether she knew anything of the En- glish men-o’-war, etc. When the conversation was getting irksome _ the “KARLSRUHE” appeared over the horizon. The En- glishman and the ‘“‘Asuncion” had taken us for a Brit- ish cruiser. The latter then took to her heels, but the Britisher did not move. The “‘Farn’”’ then did likewise, as she had recognized us. We could not ask for a more delightful way of captur- ing a steamer! The “Condor” was an ugly ship, with a poisonous-green smokepipe. But we looked at her with different eyes when we learned what she carried—merchandise, espe- cially provisions, dynamite and 150 tons of lubricating oil. She came frora New York and was bound for Chile. The Captain had been warned of us and had navigated very cautiously. He had made a great sweep to the eastward of the West Indies and carefully avoided all commercial lanes. He certainly did have rotten luck! We were especially pleased with the lubricating oil, which we could use very nicely as fuel oil. And the pro- visions also came in very handy, because our own stock, as well as that of our auxiliary, was getting low. The dynamite bombs were a welcome addition to our ex- plosive bombs, which we used for sinking steamers, only a few remaining on hand at that time. The steamer was therefore captured and all the boats we had were used to unload her. That was not easy and it took a longer time than we had expected, because the oil barrels were on top of the other cargo and had to be hoisted out of the way first. Included in the cargo was a quantity of large window panes. Fortunately, we did not have to handle these carefully or there would have been no end to the work. The crew of this steamer was also wished on the ‘‘Kre- ' féld.”” Among them were five Germans, who were en- listed in our service. 12-13 OCTOBER. The unloading of the prize lasted the entire following day and the day after that. After generously providing the “Krefeld” with all the provisions possible, she was finally scheduled to be re- leased on 13 October. In the course of the afternoon an officer of the steamer came aboard as representative of the English Captains and their steamers’ crews. He thanked our Captain in their name for all the favors and the consideration shown them, both when alongside the cruisef and when aboard the accompanying ship. The.Captains would not fail to make reports to their Governments about this. a ead | At 4p. m, the “Krefeld” started for Santa Cruz de Tenerifa, where she should not arrive prior to 22, O¢- tober.

And then the steamer that had shared our joys and sorrows for a month and a half siowly disappeared from sight. She took our mail with her. After two months our relatives might now get some word from us for the first tine. , About 10 p. m. we had finished transshipping the oil from the “Condor.” We could not blow the ship up be- cause of her dynamite cargo. So we had to content our- selves with opening her valves and breaking-in her side ports. This last precaution hastened the sinking very much. At each roll great quantities of water streamed through these ports into the hull of the ship until final- ly the ports reached the level of the water. And then the steamer ended the struggle in a very few minutes. The “Rio Negro” was detailed to await the finish. The “KARLSRUHE” and the “Farn” had started off to coal. 14 OCTOBER. While on the way we lighted our oil- burning boiler, in order to test the mixture of lubricating oil and petroleum. The result was, on the whole, very pleasing. f 15-16 OCTOBER. Not since the beginning of the war was the “KARLSRUHE” so well provided with fuel as she was on 16 October, when, having finished our coal- ing, we set off to waylay some more steamers. We had 180 tons of fuel oil and 1500 tons of coal on board, of which 1100 tons was the best Cardiff coal. This entire load of fuel came from our prizes. The supplies brought along by our steamers had hardly been touched. 17 OCTOBER. When we met the “Rio Negro” the next day her Captain reported that hardly 10 minutes after the “=*"“Condor” sank two extremely heavy explosions took place. The steamer must have been down to a considerable depth by that time. The concus- sion was so strong on the “Rio Negro,” even though she was several miles away from the sunken steamer, that the compass cards jumped from their spindles. Soon we met the “Asun- cion.” The steamer had dis- ed the surprising but pleasing news that the fort- ress of Antwerp had fallen. This must have been a heavy blow to England. All the newspapers had said that Antwerp could not possibly be taken, so now they could not minimize the importance of this victory. In spite of that, however, the English did try to do this, as we discovered later on. 18 OCTOBER. We had just reached our old place to the northward of the Island Fernando Noronha when the lookout reported a vessel in sight. We caught up with her in an hour. It was the English steamer “Glanton” of London. “Three thousand seven hundred tons of coal from Car- diff for Montevideo for the firm Wilson & Sons, crew English,”’ read the signal from the prize officer. ‘“‘Steam- er is captured; prepare to sink her,” was the prompt re- ply of our Captain. We did not need the coal at this time and we had no men to spare to man the steamer. The “Rio Negro” succeeded to the duties of the “‘Kre- feld’”’ and took the crew and all the provisions of the prize on board. As the “Glanton” was rising from the sea for the last time and then disappearing to the never-to-be-seen-again regions, a second steamer was sighted and the chase be- gan at once. But it was the Dutch steamer “Zaanland” from Amsterdam. We had no reasons for doubting her movements or appearance. The Captain permitted her to proceed without even stopping her. The same thing happened to an Italian that we saw late that evening. 19-22 OCTOBER. Although we had met three steam- ers on this day, the next three days passed without any success at all. The “Rio Negro” and “KARLSRUHE” drifted around, engines stopped, hunting the horizon until our eyes got tired. On 22 October, in honor of the birthday of our Em- press, we celebrated by having “Sunday routine.” After a short religious service the Captain addressed the crew. He eulogized this imperial lady, mother of her coun- try, and her devotion as leader of the Red Cross, setting a wonderful example to all German women. He remind- ed them also of the fact that she was a real German mother that had the same worries as other mothers had in that she had six sons and one son-in-law, all of whom were in the field. Three spirited and heartfelt “hurra's”’ thundered over the deep blue depths below the Equator in honor of our Empress and the imperial family. On this day the result of our deeds would be spread from Tenerifa to our homes and to the entire world! Each one thought he had to remind the others of this fact. : We waited the whole day hoping for an Empress’ birthday prize. When, about 10 p. m., we sighted the lights of a steamer we thought our hopes had been ful- filled at the last hour. But the vessel was found to be the Swedish steamer “Atlant” of Gothenburg that was heading to the southward. We had to let her proceed and did it without even stopping her. 23 OCTOBER. Asa reward for our unsuccessful chase, the next day brought us the English steamer “Hurst- dale” from Liverpool, with 4600 tons of corn, bound from ‘Rosario to Bristol. She made little work for us. Just as she was half sunk and making her last efforts to resist her doom, another steamer was reported, but this time it was a Swede. She was the “Annie Johnson” of Goth- enburg. We stopped her, but set her free immediately. Peca (Copyright, 9917. by James W. Confoy.)

Continually harassed by his withered arm and other shortcomings, he conceals his feelings by a clever affectation, she declares, in a book on the private lives of Wilhelm and his consort— The precautions he takes against ill- ness are laughable; he delights in telling and hearing risque stories, and he is so obsessed by a mania for travel that he used to spend the night in a sleeping car, though he had no place to go. HESE close-up impressions of the real Kaiser, taken from the diaries and letters of Ursula, Countess von Eppinghoven, long Lady-in- Waiting to the German Empress, and pubd-. lished by Henry Fischer in his book, “Private Lives of Kaiser Wilhelm II and his consort” (Fred de Fau & Co., New York), from which the following extracts are taken, are as unique and startling as they are timely. If the world had seen the Kaiser as this woman saw him, there might have been no Hohenzollernism and no war. But for a generation the world hesitated between taking Wilhelm as a genius, a nuisance or a joke. Fur- thermore, this is the man who now expects the world to discuss peace politely with him around a Council table ILLIAM was born a la bourgeoise, and quite economically, a midwife receiy- ing him and a court physician, assist- ed by the then highly-reputed Berlin specialist for women’s diseases, the late Dr. Martin, looking gravely on, after the manner of his kind. In this case, Pris Stahl acted as sage-femme; she is now a motherly woman and still ‘continues her visits to the palace; so I often had occasion to talk with her about the great event of her life. “What about the de- formed hand and arm?”.I asked her once. “That was discovered only the third or fourth day after,”’ she replied. ‘At first we were all so busy putting life into the Prince, and keeping it in him, that no one thought of examining his limbs. * * * But at last it was noticed that the child could not move his left arm; an investigation showed that the elbow joint was dis- located. That is nothing serious in a healthy child. But in the case of Prince William, the surrounding soft parts were so injured and the muscles attached were in such condition, that no one dared attempt to set the bone then and there, as should be done in all cases.” Fraulein Stahl has often reiterated the above in the course of our long official acquaintance, and has always concluded her remarks with the statement: “The present condition of the Kaiser’s arm is attributed to a mistake made by those officiating at the accouchment; but my own opinion has always been that the child’s left forearm was not properly made up by nature, as indeed, his whole left side was weak, and is weak to this day. “Besides, everyone in the palace knows that, though his walk is brisk, it is but his majesty’s over-alert ex- ertion that makes it so; if, at any time, the Kaiser ceased thinking of his shortcomings for only a moment, you would see his left leg drag. All his aches and pains, too, locate in his left ear and the whole left side of his head.” Whatever may have been the source of William II’s disablement, the incubus is forever in his thoughts, and his apparent unmindfulness of the fact is a clever af- fectation. He wants others to forget that he is a crip- ple and therefore ignores his stigmata. “He who cannot dissimulate is unfit to reign,” said Louis XL This fateful left arm of the Kaiser hugs closely to his body, allowing the hand, which is not deformed, but puny like a child’s, to rest against his waist, or upon his hip if on horseback. Anyone following the German pa- pers will probably remember that the official journals issug ballons d’essai from time to time to ascertain public sentiment in respect to the introduction of a belt for army officers, an article of accoutrement foreign to the Prussian uniform and out of har- mony with its general style. As the Empress Eugenie re-estab- lished the crinoline in the six- ties to hide her interesting con- dition, so William wants to change his military dress to find a convenient resting place for his left hand and arm, which, being about six inches shorter than the right, would attach to a belt unostentatiously. But the ma- jority of officers feign to regard these oft-recurring. proposals as maneuvers of mercenary army contractors, and treat them with fine scorn, so that William, ufi- willing to own his secret reason for the innovation sought for, must go without relief. Those are gloomy days in the ~ palace when the pros and cons of opinion on the subject are read by the Emperor, who, after carefully perusing the clippings, recognizes the repeated failure of his pet scheme. It puts him into the mood of smashing things, and his famous speech to the Brandenburgers on March 5, 1890, was made under just such circumstances. “Thre iam to. be w billiard table with members of his military: and civil house- ‘holds, telling stories and listening to tales affecting of the Court here and abroad:”’'' ° uarters man, the imperial valets. five of SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

May I ask now whether you see your way to accepting my proposal?” He paused in his walk, and Icoked earnestly down at her. A struggle was evidently going on in her mind. Her eyes were cast down, her little slipper tapped the lawn, and her fingers played nervously with her chatelain. Suddenly, with a sharp, quick gesture which had in it something of abandon and recklessness, she held out her hand to her companion. “TI accept,” she said. They were standing under the shadow of the haw- thorn. He stooped gravely down, and kissed her glove- covered fingers. “I trust that you may never have cause to regret your decision,” he said. “I trust that you never may,” she cried, with a heaving breast. There were tears in her eyes, and her lips twitched with some strong emotion. “Come into the sunshine again,” said he. “It is the great restorative.

Where science throws her calm, clear light, there is, happily, no room for romance.” “But is not love romance?” she asked. “Not at all. Love has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces.

This is attraction.” “And here is repulsion,” said Mrs. O’ James, as a stout, florid lady came sweeping across the lawn in their direc- tion. “So glad you have come out, Mrs. Esdaile!

You have a poor opinion of woman’s intellect, Prof. Grey. I think that I have heard you sey so!” “It is a question avoirdupois,” said the Professor, closing his eyes and shrugging his shoulders. “ihe female cerebrum averages two ounces less in weight than the male. No doubt there are exceptions. Nature is always elastic.” “But the heaviest thing is not always the strongest,” said Mrs. O’James laughing. “Isn't there a law of compensation in science? May we not hope to make up in quality for what we lack in quantity?” “I think not,” remarked the Professor, gravely. “But there is your luncheon gong. No, thank you, Mrs. Esdaile, I cannot stay. My carriage is waiting. Good-by. Good-by, Mrs. O’James.” He raised his hat and stalked slowly away among the laurel bushes. “He has no taste,” said Mrs. Esdaile—‘‘no eye for beauty.” “On the contrary,” Mrs. O’James answered, with a saucy little jerk,of the chin. “He has just asked me to be his wife.” : II. As Prof. Ainslie Grey ascended the steps of his house, the hall door opened and a dapper gentleman’ stepped briskly out. He was somewhat sallow in the face, with beady black eyes and a short black beard with an aggressive bristle. Thought and. work had left their traces upon his face, but he moved with the brisk activity of a man who had not yet bade good-by to his youth. “I’m in luck’s way,” he cried. “I wanted to see you.” “Then come back into the library,” said the Professor. “You must stay and have lunch with us.” The two men entered the hall, and the Professor led the way into his private sanc- tum. He motioned his companion into an armchair. “TI trust that you have been successful, O’Brien,” said he. “I should be loath to exer- cise any undue pressure upon my sister Ada; but I have given her to understand that there is no one whom I should prefer for a brother- in-law to my most brilliant scholar, the author of ‘SSome Remarks Upon. the Bile- Pigments, With Special Reference to Urobi- lin.’ ” “You are very kind, Prof. Grey—you have always been very kind,” said the doctor. “I ap- § proached Miss Grey upon the subject; she did not say No.” “She said Yes, then?” “No; she proposed to leave the matter open until my return from Edinburg. I go today, as you know, and I hope to commence my research tomorrow.” “On the comparative anatomy of the vermiform ap- pendix, by James McMurdo O’Brien,” said the professor, sonorously. “It is a glorious subject—a subject which lies at the very root of evolutionary philosophy.” “Ah! she is the dearest girl,” cried O’Brien, with a sud- den little spurt of Celtic enthusiasm—‘she is the soul of truth and of honor.” “The vermiform appendix”— began the Professor. “She is an angel from heaven,” interrupted the other. “I fear that it is my advocacy of scientific freedom in religious thought which stands in my way with her.” “You must not truckle upon that point. You must be true to your convictions; let there be no compromise there.” . “My reason is true to agnosticism, and yet I am conscious of a voida vacuum. I had feelings at the old church at home, between the scent of the incense and the roll of the organ, such as I have never experienced in the laboratory or the lecture room.” “Sensyous—purely sensuous,” said the Professor, rubbing his chin. “Vague hereditary tendencies, stirred into life by the stimulation of the nasal and auditory rerves.” “Maybe so, maybe so,” the younger man answered thoughtfully. “But this was not what I wished to speak to you about. Before I enter your family, your sister and you have a claim to know all that [can tell you about my career. Of my worldly prospects I have already spoken to you. There is only one point which I have omitted to mention. I am a widower.” The Professor raised his eyebrows. “This is news indeed,” said he. “I married shortly after my arrival in Australia. Miss Thurston was her name. I met her in society. It was a most unhappy match.” Some painful emotion possessed him. His quick, ex- pressive features quivered, and his white hands tight- ened upon the arms of the chair. The Professor turned away towards the window. “You are the best judge,” he remarked, “but I should not think that it was necessary to go into details.” “You have a right to know everything—you and Miss Grey. It is not a matter on which I can well speak to her direct. Poor Jinny was the best of women, but she was open to flattery, and she was Ilable to be misled by designing persons. She was untrue to me, Grey. It is a hard thing to say of the dead, but she was untrue to me.

As soon as the coal on the quarter deck was passed down to the bunkers, the after end of the main deck was thoroughly scrubbed down. Then we had a place “to promenade” and “to Muller” (evidently the Muller physical exercises), of which we were all in need. The Captain also enthusiastically joined us in these physical exercises. : After the evening meal the men would gather on the fo’csle, the officers on the bridge, and listen to. the music. Our ship’s band was gathered after much work before the ship left home. Their performances were bet- ter than those other ships’ bands, barring the regularly organized Government bands. : Every Sunday the Captain held a short sermon on the quarter deck. The band then played on the after deck. Refreshments and cigarettes were also served to the men. The steamers accompanying us were always invited to these concerts. On the ‘Krefeld’ several hundred En- glishmen, Frenchmen, Chinese, negroes, etc., etc., would crowd the rail on the side toward us, all listening to the strains of “Deutschland, Deutschland, Ueber Alles” and the ‘““‘Watch on the Rhein,’”’ which were always sung as a finale. The repertoire of our band was very extensive. The latest opera hits were played as readily as the oldest Prussian ballads. , One day our men got up a real minstrel show on the fo’csle. There were plenty of comedians among them: Their efforts were rewarded by heavy salvos of laughter. One of the mates discovered that he possessed poetical talent and one day he showed this to an astonished but thankful audience. | And day after day the wonderful sun continued to shine down upon the endless, deep-blue surface as if there were nothing more peaceful than this poor earth. It is a pleasant feeling to wake up in the morning and know that the sun is shining! The Captain would invite several of us to dine with him nearly every evening at dinner and, on Sunday, to lunch. Of course, the conversation soon got around to the po- litical situation at home and from that it was not much of a jump to our relatives. Nobody knew anything defi- nite about their own. ‘The last letters were written at the end of June. This one had a father, that one a brother or brother-in-law in the field. But no one knew on which front they were serving. The Captain always drank a toast to the welfare of our loved ones at home. OUR BEST WEEK. 28 SEPTEMBER.

Dur- ing the chase they made bets as to the nationality of the steamer. Most of them wanted to bet on the En- glish. When the flag was recog- nized they yelled in delight. The chase caused as much excitement, and apparently as much _ pleasure, for the English- men as it did for us. The Captain of the Farn no doubt pulled ai long. face when he climbed the ‘‘Krefeld’s” gangway and was met by the sound of his countrymen’s voices. : The Captains of the steamers living on the “Krefeld” must have had mixed feelings as they watched the un- disturbed operations of the German cruiser. They, of course, knew nothing of our worries, the constant lookout for enemy radio messages and the frequent signs of the approach of enemy warships. I wonder what this Cap- tain of the “Strathroy” thought, hé who had witnessed the “KARLSRUHE’S” operations since 1 September. At the beginning, when approached on the subject, the Englishmen aired their views in words somewhat as follows: “Just you wait! Before long our cruisers will be at your heels and then your little hour will come.” Finally, however, they lost these hopes. And when any- body reminded them of their “navy” they would bite their jips and commence to swear. On this very day an English warship, patrolling between Cape Verde and South America, came in our immediate vicinity. During the night his radio became so “howl- ing” loud that the Captain decided to steam several niles to the eastward. We stopped about 30 miles to the eastward of the usual trade lane. 6 OCTOBER. This time the “Rio Negro” was lucky. About 4 p. m. we received a report from her concerning the English steamer “Niceto de Larrinaga.” The prize crew went over. We, who remained aboard the ‘‘“KARLS- “The Captains of the steamers, of course, knew nothing of our worries, the constant lockout for enemy radio messages and the frequent signs of the approach of enemy warships.” herself took the road of all her predecessors except those we were using as colliers. “The steamer had a radio outfit. Like all the other steamers, she made not the slightest attempt to call En- glish warships to her assistance, and, even though the chase would only last one hour, she must have known that several ships were in the vicinity and these would have known we were a German cruiser from the mes- sage. We noted in her radio logs that she had been warned of us by the “BRISTOL.” The cruiser had advised her to steam about 30 miles eastward of the usual steamer tracks. It was her bad luck to follow this advice and run right into our arms, because we had gone that far to the eastward to escape the English cruiser. The English Captain was very astonished to be cap- tured in spite of his caution. But he was still more astonished when our prize officer told him that we knew his course and had traced him out there. Then, he said, we had probably caught the steamer that left Buenos Aires with him and was traveling the same course. The prize officer increased the captain’s sorrow by saying that we were unfortunately delayed in capturing another steamer, whereupon the old- man harmlessly. remarked that we had better wait until morning; there were three of them leaving Buenos Aires at the same time, and the third one, which was slower than his ship, would surely, “KARLSRUHE” proceeded to her coaling place.

We did not have to wait long for the ex- “Strathroy” bunkers and then sank her. The “Strath- ered together. roy” crew transferred to the “Krefeld.” 29-30 SEPTEMBER. While coaling we received the joyful news that the fortress of Maubeuge had surren- dered with 40,000 men, four Generals and 400 guns. We even received news of the “EMDEN” and were very pleased about her successful cruise. 1 OCTOBER. Loaded to the limit with coal, we started After the reports of the prize officer in regard to cargo, nationality, destination, etc., had been signaled over by the Prize Quartermaster the Captain would signal back his decision—the steamer should be sunk. We pictured the prize officer informing their pected steamer. About 7 a. m..she came in sight. We steamed ahead slowly to meet her. She anticipated her fate and hoisted the English flag when still a great dis- stance away. At 8 o'clock we stopped the steamer “Lyn- rowan.” The calculation came out correctly. The Cap- tain did not seem to be surprised when the prize officer, this time more truthfully, as- sured him that’ we had been waiting for back to our region of operations on 1 October.

In addition v to those named above, three other English warships had rounded Cape Horn. : A great coal famine existed in Brazil. In the large cities only a limited amount of electric lighting was per- mitted. The trains had reduced their schedules. (We thoroughly understood the reason for this!) The Gov- ernment had forbidden the export of coal. If, even in spite of this, the English ships left Brazilian harbors “loaded down with coal,” then we knew how poorly the neutrality laws were being observed, which must not be ascribed entirely to the bad feelings of the Brazilians but mainly to the pressure which England exerted upon = OCTOBER. For two days we lay in wait without results. About noon of the third day the “Krefeld,” that had been sent by the Captain several miles to the east- ward, sert us the signal: ‘I have a steamer in sight.” The vessel was steaming to the eastward of the usual « sa trade lane. Therefore she must not have a very clear conscience! nae This time the chase lasted two hours. Therefore, our joy was all the greater when we received the report: The English steamer “Farn” has 7000 tons of the best Cardiff coal, bound for Montevideo from Barry. As the Chinese and German crew of the “Strathroy” had been relieved of their duties, this cargo saved their lives. She would take the place of the “Strathroy.” Lt. of Reserves Lubinus would be her new Captain. The Captain had planned to send this coal to our cruis- er squadron later on, when their scene of operations was nearer and definitely known. According to the story of the Captain of the “Krefeld” the English cnews took a great, part in the chase of the, SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

We knew that they were packing their clothes and trinkets and would soon appear once more. The boats would be stowed and made ready for lowering. Soon the Captain himself would appear, chronometer and other nautical instruments under his arm. He had saved what was really valuable. | The “‘Niceto de Larrinaga” had a cargo of 8000 tons of oats and corn from Buenos Aires for London, Her erew and provisions went aboard the “Krefeld.” She . bound for Liverpool. The gunnery officer, Lt. (J. C.) von dem Borne, ha’! begged the Captain to give him this prize as a target for gunnery practice. After the “Krefeld,” with her Englishmen, had disappeared over the horizon we made a run at extreme range, using target practice ammuni- tion and then made several runs at close range using re- duced charges. The steamer “Lynrowan” sank about 3 p. m. The cargo hatches burst open when the ship was down deep under the water and all the buoyant contents of the cargo holds, above all several hundred hogsheads of tallow, shot to the surface. The Captain tried to destroy this ex- tensive field of wreckage by making several runs back and forth across it. But the hogsheads persisted in coming back in one bunch. The sharks gathered at once and fought over the lumps of tallow floating out of the splintered casks. The sharks experienced a rare thing, for these regions, in their hunt for game—numer- ous fat rats were running around on the casks, trying to save themselves from the wreck.
