Berlin Declares Whole italian Front as Far as Gorizia. Is Imperiled by Teuton: Vic- tory. Rome Says Situation Is Grave, With Invaders Striking at Important Com- munication Lines. BERLIN, via London, Oct. 27.— Sixty thousand Italians have been taken by the Austrian-German forces in their offensive on the Italian front, armry headquarters announced today. Guns to the number of 450 have been captured. Emperor Charles of Austria-Hun- gary is commanding the attacking Austro-German army, which, the ‘statement says, is pressing toward the Italian plain through the spurs of the Julfan Alps. The mountain ridge of Stol has been captured from the Italians as has also the summit of Mount Mata- jur, says the official announcemen The statement claims the defea of the second Italian army and that the Isonzo front of the Italians is ‘imperiled as far as Wippach (just south of Gorizia.) ROME, Oct. 26.— Having crossed the Italian boundary line between Monte Canin and the head of the Judrio Valley. the enemy ts attempt- ing to reach an opening on the plains, says today’s official commu- nication. (The border at the point mentioned is approximately 20 miles from the great Italian base at ‘Udine. ) The Austro-German forces also are making strong attacks on the Carso front, southeast of Gorizia. They were repulsed by the Italians. The statement follows: “After having crossed our boun- dary line between Monte Canin and the head of the Judrio valley, tho enemy is attempting to reach an opening on the plains. “On the Carso the hostile effort is increasing. Strong ofensive thrusis by the enemy were repulsed by our troops.“ A semi official statement issued last night says the struggle on the Isonzo front is more bitter and that its alternatives are undecided. The situation created by the power of the enemy, says the announcement, is “certainly grave.“ Necessary Measures Taken. The statement says headquarters has taken necessary measures and that “if the troops remember that on 10 different occasions they de- feated the enemy on his formidable Carso positions, he tread the national soil long. The thanks of the country are due to the fifth Bersaglieri brigade, which in the jast few days has held Globocak position at the Auzza Gorge by in- defatigable and magnificent counter attacks during which prisoners have been taken.“ Continuing, the seml-official an- nouncement says: “The enemy’s ardor continues very : strong, all along the Monte Mag- giore-Auzza line. “At the head of the Matisone val- ley and at the head of its confluence enemy regiments are headed toward Cividale (east of Udine), to the south of the communications with the central Isonzo. “In the presence of this threat it has been necessary to anticipate the situation created in the sector which we conquered in August and to amel- lorate the conditions on the Bainsiz- va plateau, which represents the whole of the Italian lines before Tolmino, barring access to the Mati- sone basin. “The few roads almost all con- structed or repaired recently by much intense labor, lead from the Isonzo to the plateau and were in- tended to serve the vast region fdr distant from the base of Italian oper - ations in that zone at Cividale and separated rom it by numerous ob- Stacles. 22 wasdnecessary to rectify the front, which was not all equally good froma tactical point of view, 25 it was attained in the August offensive a — — is unlikely to REPORTS INDICATE LIBERTY LOAN HAS REACHED 4 BILLION Sales Bringing Total to Mark Hoped For, Seem Probable, Says Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The Lib- erty Loan campaign went into its final hours today with every energy of 2,000,000 field workers straining to carry it past the $5,000,000,000 mark. “Revised official and unofficial re- ports today strongly indicate,” the Treasury Department announced, “that approximately $4,000,000,000 in bonds have been sold. “Additional sales of $1,000,000,000 today, bringing the total to the high- est mark hoped for, seemed not only possible but entirely probable. “Official returns show that the 12 Federal Reserve Banks had returns of $2,705,105,000, representing sub- scriptions officially reported to them when they opened their books today. Inasmuch as this total indicates only sales upon which 2 per cent deposits have been paid, the total is well un- der the amount of actual sales. A margin of at least $1,000,000,000 should be given unofficial sales over the official total. The official totals follow: . “Boston, $330,100,000; New York, $1,175,000,000; Philadelphia, $102,- 026,000; Cleveland, $326,000,000; Richmond, $114,470,000; Atlanta, $33,545,000; Chicago, $271,250,000; St. Louis, $93,844,000; Minneapolis, $100,250,000; Kansas City, $57,980,- 000; Dallas, $37,105,000; San Fran- cisco, $108,535,000; total, $2,750,- 105,000.“ ; Special efforts are being directed toward wage earners, many of whom receive the weekly pay envelope to- day. Much of the apathy apparent in the rural districts has been dis- pelled and encouraging reports are being made of the farmers’ response to the appeal. MRS. C. C.

BRITISH HAVE ADVANTAGE IN GUNS, GERMAN GENERAL SAYS S. Hampered in Delivery of Mu- nitions, Which Seem to Be of Bad Quality, He Adds. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 26.—Gen. Sixt von Arnin, one of Germany’s prominent commanding Generals, in an interview in the Korrespondenz Norden, said the British troops were two or three times more numerous than the Germans, and that the Brit- ish batteries were equipped with far more heavy guns than the Germans possessed. A further advantage for the Brit- ish, the General said, was that they had 80,000 soldier laborers for bring- ing up munitions, while the Germans who serve the guns have to feed them. Gen. von Arnim also commented on the wholesale expenditure of am- munition by the British. He said the transport of munitions from En- gland, owing to the shortness of the voyage, was difficult entirely to sup- press, but that the United States ap- peared to be greatly hampered by the U-boat war in the delivery of muni- tions and that the munitions them- selves were of bad quality. 15 CASES OF SMALLPOX ARE QUARANTINED IN CASEYVILLE Public School Is Closed and Church Services Tomorrow Are Minute Men” making patriotic ad- dresses in the interest of, the loan here.

Senator Sherman Declares Loan Should Not Be Advertised Free. United States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois, in an address last night before the Southern IIIi- nois Republican Editorial Associa- tion, at the Elks’ Club in East St. Louis, said that the Government. was unfair to the newspapers in request- manufacturers to furnish shoes to the army free, or other manufactur— ers to supply war munitions free. He argued that it was sufficient to ask the newspapers to support the bond issue in their editorial columns. The Senator also complained that the censorship regulations were a hindrance to free speech, and that it was undemocratic to prohibit criti- cism of the administration. Gov. Lowden also spoke, advocat- ing the purchase of Liberty Bonds. Other speakers were W. H.

A year ago the price was $1 in quantities of a gallon or more and in less than gallon lots at the rate of $1.25 a gallon.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Oct. 27.—A crowd estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000 persons last night saw the Seventh Engineers, U. S. A., fight a spectacular sham battle at Lake Merritt. A giant searchlighr and rocket bombs furnished illu- mination for hundreds ef khaki-clad troops rushing up soggy slopes, after they had effected a landing on the shore of the lake. Rain began at the hour of the maneuvers, 8:30, but the spectators stayed on. The operations, directed by Col. C. T. Flagler, commanding the Seventh Engineers, were designed to sit ulate a night attack on trenches at the west rend of the lake. The attacking trocps were stationed at the east end and were compelled to attack up-a steep hill after they had ferried the long- est neck of the lake in pontoons. The enemy's searchlight played upon the crossing troops and the ar- tillery bathed them in fire, but they rowed swiftly on, effected a iand:ng, charged up the hill, lighted by bomts and flares, and captured the enemy’s trenches and wireless tower. The Stars and Stripes were run up while the victors cheered. Spectators ard troops stood at attention While a band played “The Star- Span: sled Banner.” PILLOW SLIP LAUNDRY MARK LEADS TO BURGLARY CHARGE Huckster Arrested Following the Robbery of a South Ninth Street Store. The laundry mark “M-12” on a pillow slip led to the arrest last old, a huckster, of 1409 South Sev- enth street, on a charge of burglary. Thursday night a policeman saw two men carrying bundles enter an Alley near Ninth and Emmett streets. As the policeman approached the men dropped a bag of clothing and jewelry and escaped. The contents of the bag were identified as part of the stock of Sam Newman, whose dry goods store at 1800 South Ninth street had been robbed. The bag was a pillow slip. Detectives of the Soulard Dis- trict yesterday interviewed laundry- men when the pillow slip was iden- tified as the property of Montgom- ery. A search of his house last night revealed a pillow slip matching the slip in which the stolen property had been found on the bed where Mont- gomery was sleeping, and additional articles stolen from Newman’s store, the police reported. Michael Walsh, 28 years old, of 2827 South Tenth street, a visitor at the Montgomery home, was ar- rested on suspicion. The articles stolen were valued at $200.

I have seen some, for there are more Americans fighting than is generally known. We are daily aroused to the reality of the war, it is our natural life and we treat its problems with that inten- sity that business men give te in- tense business problems. “It may appear a very easy task when you think of the immense re- sources of this country, of the Brit- ish empire with its separate inde- pendent nations, Canada, South Afri- ca, New Zealand, Australia; when you think of the superb French army, the little Belgian army, what remains of the Russian army, the winning of the war may seem easy. “But when you have been to the war, as I have on nine different oc- casions, and realize that it means hiding in concrete forts of immense strength that can be defended with a very small force and can hold up u division of an army, you begin to see, as your soldiers are writing you from France, that this carefully prepared proposition is one that will demand the resources of everyone of us in this great alliance. “Remember that the Prussians have one enormous advantage. They are fighting on the inner leins, with u great railway network, and under an absolute autocracy, a form ‘of Government that can make every person do exactly what the Govern- ment likes. They can close down any plant; they can order any plant to make this, that or the other thing; they can stop all public meet- ings by sending soldier policemen with machine guns. Experienced in Wars. They have a control of their peo- ple which, not conducing to democ- racy, is a great source of strength to a fighting autocracy. They have also acquired experience in a number of }former wars. When they overran Denmark in 1864 they gathered some experience. Their war with Austria in 1866 brought them more, and the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 gave them further war knowledge, so that when they determined to take advan- tage of the sittration in 1914 they were prepared at the outset to fight in entirely new ways, to get rid of al! treaties and to use any means of sci- entific barbarism to attain their end. In the earliest days of the war they had liquid fire. Very shortly after the war began they introduced poisonous gases. The first German dead that I saw, back of the Marne had ind ‘their waists boxes con- taining inflammable bits of nitro- cellulose for the purpose of setting fire to houses. They were absolutely ready for the war. “You Americans and we Britons are amateurs at this.

Day before yesterday I noticed in a large number of American pa- pers great headlines, “Seventy-five Hundred Germans Captured.” But in the same issues of the paper we read that, for the week, there were over 27,000 British casualties, with 860 officers.

I have indications this morn- ing that the ladies of St. Louis are as anxious to play their part as the men. by the concentrated efforts of the business men in the great cities behind it. You could build destroyers in sections on the Mississippi River here, the way the Germans built their submarines. Great Britain’s first army sent to the front was little, but it was not contemptible.“ Alas, it is all dead; but the new army, com- posed of such men as I see here, has taken its place, and women have taken the places of the men in many lines of industry. You people probably have not seen any wounded American soldiers. I have seen some. There are many more Americans than you imagine fighting in this war. ‘a need. We have sent over 500 Incomotives, more than 1000 miles of railroad track, the whole paraphernalia of a railroad. We have had to transport shoe factories, not as large as you have here, but very large ones. There is no time-to send soldiers’ shoes back for re- pairs. Your problem is greater -ANSPORT is the great Striking Sentences From Lord Northcliffe’s Speech The war will be won largely because you must transport those things over 3000 miles of ocean. . f If I were a Prussian today 1 would be disposed to say Prus- sia had won the war.

It is our duty to see that they do not tay. e The French High Commis- sioner in Washington has twice ‘issued statements that there are over 10,000,000 tons of war sup- plies lying on American wharves without shipping facilities. The French army cannot get through this winter without those sup- plies. I urge and beg of you to real- ize that this war ts not to be a short war. It cannot be. See that no lack of foresight de- prives you of ships. 25 Pay attention to Hoover's suggestions. He knows. The reason back of all these appeals of Hoover is the fear that our soldiers: and your soldiers will be without food. There is a certain class here, as in En- gland, which seems to regard waste as a matter of style. Twenty years ago there were no automobiles in St. Louts and the people were not suffering -for want of them. On Nov: 1 all pleasure automobiles will be stopped in Bngland by law. That course is not now necessary here. You have abundant sup- plies of gasoline, but over there we need our gasoline for air- planes. — ‘ that there will be desperate fighting along the Italian front. You can only understand the war by looking it squarely in the face, and if I were a Prussian today I would be disposed to say that Prussia had won the war. Look at the territory they oc- cupy, and the fact that, in Belgium and elsewhere they are providing electric lights for schools and double tracking the railways. They are in- tending to stay. It is our duty to see that they shall not. It is equally our duty to recognize that in war making we are amateurs, against a very stiff proposition, against war- making professionals. That is the situation. “The part the West can play in the war is overwhelmingly important. I don’t know whether many of you have studied the homilies ‘of my friend Hoover, as you ought. He knows this task thoroughly. At the beginning of the war he dropped his work as an engineer and devoted his life to see that the Germans did not steal the food sent from this country and Great Britain for the starving Belgians. “He knows his German from face to face dealing with him. He urges and begs you to economize in food and develop food production, and this morning he gives us an urgen message about shipping. Need of Shipping. J have been talking about ships in the West to an extent where it has driven many people away. They say I am mad on this topic of trans- portation. But I repeat, there is no use in your developing your re- sources, no use in your shoe workers making millions of shoes, for exam- ple, unless they can be taken where they are needed. But can they?” “The French High Commissioner in Washington has twice issued pub- lic statements that there are more than 10,000,000 tons of war supplies without which the French army can- not get along this winter that are ly- ing on the wharves without shipping facilities. -Many things are being done to remove this difficulty. Ships are being cut in two and sent down from the lakes for use in coastwise traffic. But I don't believe the peo- ple here are putting the enthusiasm into the building of ships that they are displaying with regard to the Liberty air engine. I know the sub- ject is hardly referred to in the prese while the achievements of the Lib- erty engine was praised all over the country. ) Supplies Must Cross Ocean. “But I say that, though you may develop that engine to the utmost, it will be useless unless you can get it across the Atlantic. There is no dif- ficulty in transporting soldiers. Fast ships will take them in safety.

But it does not pay to use fast ships for cargoes. Those who have studied the commerce of the world know that it is not possible to use ships for cargo with a speed of more than 12 knots an hour. The cost of running fast ships puts them out of commis- sion for use in carrying goods. “Our ship controller, a very able Scotchman, who himself owns many ships, says that unless you put into the water 6,000,000 tons of new ship- ping this year, you cannot maintain an effective army.in France. Trans- port is everything. Wein Great Brit- ain were not faced with that diffi- culty. We have learned from our ex- perience at home and in Canada what the transportation problem means. We have had to take to France more than 500 locomotives, more than 5000 miles of track, an en- tire telephone service, shoe factories, everything to support the army. “To support an army of a million at the front, it takes about 200,000 of a civilian army. That is about our proportion, and we are nex, door. There are the great questions of transporting coal and wheat for Italy and coal for France. Last win- ter the French went through almost intolerable suffering for lack of coal. They had the coldest winter in their recollection and a coal shortage at the same time. You have this win- ter to help us convey coal to France. “You have a fine harbor in France, the name of which of course ‘is known to every German. I know it, but I am not permitted to tell it. You have an army headquarters near the battle front in France, which the Germans see every day. The harbor and headquarters are far apart, and you must needs transport large quantities of supplies between them. Do you realize I can breakfast in London and lunch on the battle- field? Our situation is more favor- able than yours. But we had to do these things because of speed. Speed is everything in war. In many cases the life of a rifle is only three or four days. It used to be that a sol- dier used one rifle for a whole war. In this war there must be the equiv- alent of three rifles for every man. “But to come back to shipping.

The first indication of a shortage in England was in candy for the young ladies. I find the same thing in this country. In New York the ladies are trembling for candy. There is a sugar shortage, though to walk around the streets of St. Louis and see all the candy piled in the windows of the candy stores one would not think so. Health Has Been Improved. shortage, be- cause we have been compelled to reduce consumption of almost every- thing, and I will say that it seems to have impreved the health of the peo- ple. ‘Many things we thing are neces- sary are not. Twenty years ag there were no automobiles in St. Louis and the people were not suf- fering for want of them. Nov. 1 all pleasure automobiles will be stopped in England by law. That course is not necessary here. You have abundant supplies of gasoline, but over there we need our gasoline for airplanes. Automobiles will be stopped by law and the people will not run around in automobiles, for we have quite a drastic way of enforcing our laws. Not long ago my chauffeur was arrested in New York for speeding and I presume very properly 80 When it was learned whosé automo- bile it was I was told by a gentle man that he wished he had known whose it was and he could have ‘fixed it.“ I told him I didn’t want it fixed. Mr. Balfour was fined three times in one day for speeding in England and the last time the Magistrate gave him a severe lecture. Profiteering Stopped. “We in England are trying to see that the people get food at proper prices. There is such a thing as profiteering. It is sometimes due to sometimes to a deliberate attempt to profit out of the war. We have ‘stopped that. Not long ago a farmer was fined $25,000 for charging more than the legal price for potatoes, I imagine that will percolate through the minds of the farmers. I can see the farmers’ wives talking about it. We can put out of business any retailer or wholesaler who charges more than the legal price. We can take away the farm of any farmer who does not produce what his land will produce. Some people say that is Socialism, but our people in war time say No. Land is not a private thing to be used selfishly’ by a man while the army may be starving. So we have a com- missioner to inspect every farm, and if the farmer is not farming prop- erly, he puts it in the hands of one who will. I adduce these facts to show you that, when I support my friend Hoover, in his appeals from Washington, I come into court with clean) hands. These new facts violate known principles of commerce, they were denounced by people. who look for politics in every new movement. But we have a man, Lord Rhonda, at the head of the food service, who hap- pens also to be a personal friend of Hoover and who, like him, does not care what people say as long as he gots necessary things done, however d reeable. Reco Wheatless Days. “I ask you to realize that these wheatless days will mean so much to the suffering people of France, so much to the Italians, who went into the war unprepared. So with the economy of sugar, though it looks as if there could be no shortage, if one examines the candy shops here or in New York. I. for one, am willing to obey all orders of the food adminis- trators, and do obey them. We in Great Britain are deter- mined that our young men who are going through this horrible torture at the front shall not have the tor- ture of a shortage of food. Those men are fighting in one of the cold- est and most unpleasant sections of country I have seen. They need more food than the ordinary normal amount. Their rations have been re- duced to a scientific amount, calcu- lated to support life. Reason for Appeals. The real reasons for these appeals is our fear that our soldiers will have to fight with an insufficiency of food. But I am convinced that there is no one here or anywhere in the United ple, too.

SIMONDS, whose articles on the war appear in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, is commended by Lord North- cliffe as the foremost of popu- day, “if he will read Mr. Si- monde’ weekly articles. I am speaking of the war on the west front, with which Mr. Simonds is personally familiar, and which I have visited nine times.“ Later, Lord Northcliffe in- dorsed the correctness of one of Simonds’ recent articles, not re- lating to the west front. This was the article which appeared in the Post-Dispatch Sunday before last, to the effect that the return of German colonies to Germany would not be per- mitted by the various parts of the British empire, and that England could not compel such a return, without taking up arms against Australia and South Africa. *** — 7 =e — his full share in making sure that our soldier boys will have all they want. That is the real meaning of these appeals to the farmers to grow more grain and to the people in cities to eat as little as possible of those foods that can be transported to Europe. It ia not that the civilian population in those countries should profit. France, from the beginning, with its usual thrift, organized itself, and reduced individual consumption so that they have no need for food tickets. “As I have said before, the real thing back of these appeals is the need of the foresight that has been so lacking on the part of the allies in the war. This is not a single war. It is many wars, scattered all over the world. I urge and beg you to see that no lack of foresight shall deprive your army of the ships to take supplies, and that there shall be no lack of self-sacrifice, here in this city, especially, on the part of the men and women who do the pur- chasing, no such lack as shall de- prive the soldiers of the necessary food in the great crusade they are making for you.” J. Lionberger Davis, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who sat at the left of Lord Northcliffe, in- troduced him as the greatest journal- ist of England. “While we are fighting to make democracy safe,” said Davis, “we should remember that there is no force so powerful for the safety of democragy as free speech and a free press. We are fortunate, indeed, in having with use the man who stands above all others as Great Britain's greatest exponent of the freedom of the press. He is more than a great newspaper man; he is a citizen of the world, a great statesman and a great force for progress.“ At the right of Lord Northcliffe sat John C. Roberts, publisher of the St. Louis Star. Others near him were Joseph Pulitzer Jr., editor of the Post-Dispatch; Walter Williams, dean of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri; Mrs. John C. Roberts and Mrs. Robert S. Davis of Kansas City. After his speech Lord Nérthcliffe went to a room in the M. A. A. Building for a rest. Later he re- turned to his private car at Union Station and received business men and manufacturers for an informal discussion of the industrial situation as it relates to the war. “Subscribe for a New lUAberty Bond today and send your printing to Hughes.“ — ADV. | President Wilson in the order of 1 1 : 7 N tihng 4 * an, Be. 4 3 See. . bry a 7 N 14 fet PLR . eS r ES. , See * * . * Ty 2 „ 1 19 ve! ra x : 7 N : 1 . „ ' .

The Michi- gan prices are run of mine 63.15 a ton; prepared sizes $3.60; slack or screenings $2.20. | These prices have no connection with recommendations made in a letter to President Wilson yesterday by Fuel Administrator Garfield con- cerning proposed increases of prices at the mines of bituminous coal as a result of increased wages. Michigan prices were not fixed. by Aug. 21 fixing prices generally. Changes in Montana, Arkansas and Illinois as announced today raise the prices on prepared sizes but reduce those on slack or screenings. The Missouri changes apply to two coun- ties and raise prices on the run of mine, prepared sizes and. slack or screenings. — Se The New Claséifications. The new classifications in these states are: Illinois (McLean Coal Co., Bloom- ington), prepared sizes $4, instead of $2.65; slack or screenings, $1.70 in- stead of $2.15. Missouri (Putnam County and Longwall thin seam mines in Ran- dolph County), run of mine $3.15 in- stead of $2.70; prepared sizes, $3.40 instead of $2.95, and slack or screen- ings, $2.90 instead of 32.45. : Montana, prepared sizes $3.60. in- stead of $2.95; slack or screenings, $1.60 instead of $2.45. Arkansas, Paris field, prepared sizes, $4.59 instead of $2.90; slack or screenings, $2 instead of $2.40. Besides these changes it is regard- ed as probable that some revision up- ward of prices of bituminous coal at the mines in the central competitive territory will be announced Monday or early next week as a result of recommendations made by Dr. Gar- field to President Wilson. Miners and operators in the West- ern Kentucky district this week asked Dr. Garfield to increase coal prices there to meet the increases of wages agreed upon with the miners, but so far as has been announced applications have not come from any cther districts. After the wage increases for the | central field had been agreed upon, miners in many parts of that field struck in an effort, it was charged, to force an immediate revision of coal prices. Dr. Garfield warned them that the question of revision of prices LOSE THER 8 Pave a. >. = 22 . 8 N : * ‘i, oak Palin. - - - — n oh — a 7 == . * r mS * * ee r 72 9 * * 5 BGs . * * 1 : ; mn 1 bet, BE . 7 . — 19 : x 1 wee ¢ pod * ö _ 2 N 4 1 violation of the law wii lowed to jobbers and d.

This is hitherto unpublished book, the seventh installment of Princess Radziwill's “The Truth About Rasputin.” By PRINCESS RADZI WILL, Daughter of a Russian Count and Herself a Member of the Imperial Set in St. Petersburg Before the Revolution. CHAPTER I1]—Continued. | HAVE reproduced this tale because it seems to me that it helps one to understand the personality of Rasputin, and because it describes to per- fection the manner in which he used to treat the people with whom hs dealt. Personally, when I interviewed the Prophet,“ I had the opportunity to convince myself that the impression which he had produced on Prince Lvoff was absolutely a correct one, and I made the same remark which. the latter had done in regard to the total absence of this magnetic strength which Ras- putin was supposed to possess over those with whom he entered into conver- sation. The man was a fraud and nothing else. He had been defied by the group of foolish people whom he had persuaded that he was a messenger from heaven, come to announce to Holy Russia that a new Christ had arisen. But his pretended fascination existed only in the imagination of the persons who asserted its existence. To the impartial observer he appeared what he was— an arrogant and insolent peasant, who, knowing admirably on which side his bread was buttered, exploited with considerable ability to his personal ad- vantage the stupidity of his neighbors. Rasputin “a Fraud and Nothing Else” I have already related that his house had.become a kind of Stock Exchange in which everything could be bought or sold, where all kinds of shady transactions used to take place, and where the most disgusting bar- gaining for places and appointments was perpetually going on. Gifts in- numerable were showered upon him which he pretended that he distrib- uted to the poor, but which in reality he carefully put into his own pocket. This peasant, who when he had ar- rived in St. Petersburg for the first time had hardly possessed a shirt to his back, had become a very rich man. He had bought several houses, gambled in shares and other securi- ties, and had contrivtd to accumu- late a banking account which, if one is to believe all that has been related, amounted to several millions. From time to time, however, he used to come out with some munifi- cent offering to some charity or other with which he threw dust in people’s eyes. They thought that it was in this manner that he employed all the money that was showered upon him by his numerous admirers. It was in this way that he built in St. Peters- burg, not far from the spot where, by a strange coincidence, his mur- dered body was found, a church which was called the Salvation Church, which adjoined a school for girls. There he used to go often. Whenever he went he was always met by the clergy in charge with great pomp, as if he had been a bish- op or some great ecclesiastical digni- tary, and was awaited at the door with the cross and holy water. This church was placed under the special protection of the Metropolitan of Petrograd, Pitirim, who often cele- brated divine service in it, at which Rasputin always made it a point to be present. But instead of awaiting the Metropolitan, as he ought to have done, he had the habit of ar- riving after him. Mgr. Pitirim, how- ever, awaited his arrival just as he would have waited for the Emperor Indeed, the submission which the of- ficial head of the clergy of the cap- ital affected in regard to Rasputin is one of the most extraordinary epi- sodes in the latter's wonderful career. Fiven Church Dignitaries Kow-Towed to Him. In fact, when one reviews all one has heard concerning this persou- ege one is tempted to ask the ques- tion whether his appearance in St. Petersburg had not brought along with it an epidemic of madness among all those who had come in contact with him. It hardly seems possible that Bishops, priests, min- isters, high dignitaries, qgatesmen, even, or at least men having the pretention to be considered as such, should have thought it necessary to go and seek the favor of this vulgar, ili-bred, dirty Russian mougik, de- void of honsty and of scruples, about whom the most disgraceful stories were being repeated everywhere, and whose presence in the houses whero 1. was a daily visitor used to give rise to the worst kind of gossip.

And that he did so is at least not a matter of doubt, if we are to believe the follow- ing letter which the monk Illiodore wrote from his exile on the 5th of May, 1914, to a personage very well known in the political circles of St Petersburg. I swear to you with the word of honor of an honest man that the letter in which I called Sabler and Damansky the instruments of ‘Gricha’ (Rasputin) contained noth- ing but the solemn truth, and I re- peat it once more, that according to what Rasputin told to me on the 28th of June, 1911, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon in my little cell, Sabler really kissed the feet of Gricha, who, in relating this story to me, showed me with an expressive pantomime in what way he had done so. I consider as utterly false and as a barefaced lie the declaration of Mr. Sabler that he had never prostrated himself before any one, except before the sacred images. Respectfully yours, “Ss. M. TROUFANOFT, “Formerly the Monk Illiodore.” A Pawn, Not a Principal Actor. It is difficult to say, of course, how much reliance can be placed on those assertions of Iiliodore, and whether Mr. Sabler really thought it neces- sary to fall on the ground before Rasputin. But out of this letter one can infer that the influence of the latter was considered to be important enough for people to trouble them- selves about relating stories of the kind to show it up. Altogether, one may safely conclude, out of the very spare material which so far has come to light in regard to the activ- ity of Rasputin, that we have not yet heard the whole truth about the cir- sumstances which have accompanied his sudden rise and fall, and that there must have been in both events things which perhaps will never come to light. But all of them point out to some dark intrigue in which he was but one of the pawns whilst believing himself to be the principal actor. One must not forget that the Czar himself ig most liberal in his ideas and opinions, and that it — entirely due to his personal initiativ that the Constitution, such as it is, which Russia possesses at the pres- ent day, was promulgated. This was not done without arousing terrible animosities, provoking awful discon- tent. From the first hour that its contents wére published there were found persons who began to work against it, and who by their efforts brought about the revolution of the year 1906, with the help of which. they had hoped to bring back the days of absolute government, wher every public functlonary was a small Czar in his own way and when caprice of the first police official could send away to distant Siberia innocent people. This abuse Nicho- las II had determined from the first moment that he had ascended tho throne of his ancestors not to allow any longer. This determination, of course, was not forgiven by the crew of rapacious crocodiles who up to that dey had administered the affairs of the Russian empire, and they it was who determined to take their re- venge for this noble and disinterest- ed step of their sovereign. Rasputin became the instrument of the reactionary party, which he, in his turn, contrived to make instru- mental in carrying out his own views and aims. His head had been turned by the unexpected position in which he had found himself. It is not sur- prising that he lost his balance and that he ended by considering him- self as being what he had been told by so many different people that he Prophet of the Lord, having the right to say whatever he liked, to calumniate whom he liked, to make use of whatever means he found at hand to eliminate from his path any obstacles he might have found intruding upon it. His name became synonymous with that of this ultra-conservative party which was leading Russia towards Its ruin, and which always contrived to reduce to nothing all the good intentions of the Czar. Rasputin was a symbol and a flag at the same time; the symbol of superstition, and the flag of dark ‘ FNR to know to this day er was not also what everything sepa to, that fs, 4 8 9 en agent of the German Government who had entered into German inter- ests, and who had during the last months of his life been working to- gether with Mr, Sturmer and the latter’s private secretary, the fa- mous Manassewitsch Maniuloff, to- wards a separate peace with the cen- tral Powers, the conclusfon of which would have dishonored forever the Czar, together with his Government, and which would have provoked such discontent in the country that the dynasty might have collapsed under its weight. There exist at least indications that such a thing was within the lim- its of possibility, and, if so, those who put an end to the evil career of this dangerous man deserve well from their country, and the leniency which has been shown to them is but the reward for an act of daring which, though unjustifiable from the moral point of view, is nevertheless to be condoned by the circumstance that its patriotic aim was so great that it was worth while risking ev- erything, even remorse, in order to accomplish it. Rasputin the Curse of Russia. In a certain sense, Rasputin was the curse of Russia. Thanks to him, the purest existences were subjected to a whole series of base attacks and of vile calumnies. Thanks to him, our enemies were given the oppor- tunity to pour out upon us, ypon our institutions, our statesmen and even upon our, sovereign the poison of their venom and to represent us to those who do not know us in a light which, thanks be rendered to God, is an absolutely false and untrue one. Russia is far too great for such things to touch her. That Germany rejoiced at every tale which reached its ears in regard to Rasputin is evi- dent if one reads its newspapers That it was in undestanding and ac- ord, if not directly with him, a‘ east with some of those who were his immediate friends and habitual] confidants, has been proved to the 13 of all impartial persons A that he worked continually to- wards establishing an understand ing between the Czar and the Kaiser is another fact of which more than one man in Russia is aware. Wheth- er he did so intentionally or whether he was the unconscious instrument of others cleverer and more gulti vated than he ever was or would be- come, is still a point that has not been cleared up to the general satis- faction. But that his so-called in- fluence only existed over certain weak people, and that the Czar him- self never knowingly allowed it to be exercised in matters of state, i: a fact about which there can exist no doubt for those who know the rare qualities of heart and of intel- lect of the sovereign. HAPTER IV. HAVE quoted the impressions of Prince Lvoff in regard to Ras- putin, and have remarked that I have had. personally the opportunity to convince myself that they were correct, at least in their broad lines. The interview which I had with Ras- putin in the course of the winter of 1913-14 left me with feelings akin to those experienced by the Prince. This interview took place under the following circumstances: I had been asked by a big American newspaper to see the “Prophet,” had already spread beyond the Rus- sian frontiers and who was begin- ning to be considered as a factor of no mean importance in the conduct of Russian state affairs. This, how: ever, was by no means an easy mat- ter. For one thing, he was seldom ‘traditions of the old school. whose renown in St. Petersburg. He spent most of his time at Tsarskoie Selo, where his headquarters were the apart- ments of Mme. W. He used to make only brief and flying visits to the capital, where he possessed several dwellings. One never knew in which dne he could be found, as he used to go from one to another, accord- ing to his fancy. He gave audiences like a sovereign would have done, and before anyone was allowed to enter his presence that person had to be subjected to a course of cross- examination so as to make quite sure that no malicious or evil de- signs were harbored by him in re- gard to the Prophet.“ At last, after a succession of un- availing efforts, I chanced to light on a certain Mr. de Bock, with whom Rasputin had business relations, and for whom he procured when the war broke out an important contract con- nected with the supply of meat for the troops in the field. It was this personage who finally obtained for me the favor of being admitted into the home of Rasputin. The latter was living at the time in a very handsome and expensive flat in a house situated on the English Pros- pekt, a rather distant street in St. Petersburg, whose proximity to the quarters of the working population of the capital had appealed to the Prophet's tastes. When I arrived there, at about 4 o’clock in the after- noon, I was, first of all, stopped by the hall porter, who wanted me to explain where and to whom I was going. Upon hearing that it was to Rasputin he insisted on my taking off my fur coat downstairs, and then examined me most carefully and sus- piciously, surveying with special at- tention the size and volume of my pockets, so as to make sure that I was not carrying any murderous in- struments hidden in their deptha. Interview With Rasputin. Upstairs the door was opened by an elderly woman with a red kerchief over her head, who, I learned after- ward, was one of the “sisters” who followed the “Prophet” everywhere. She asked for my name, and then ushered me into a room, sparely but richly furnished. There some half- dozen people were waiting, in what seemed to me to be extreme impa- tience, for the door of the next room to open and admit them. Voices were heard through the door angrily dis- cussing something or other. Among the people present I recognized a lady-in-waiting on the Empress, an old General in possession of an im- portant command, two parish priests, three women belonging to the lower classes, one of whom seemed to be in great trouble, and a typical Russian merchant in high boots and dressed in the long caftan which is still worn by some of those who have kept the Then there was a little boy of about 10 years old, poorly clad, who was cry- ing bitterly. All these people kept silent, but the eager expression on their faces showed that they were al! laboring under an intense agitation and emotion. When I entered the apartment a distant look of disap-/j pointment appeared on all their faces. At last the old General approached pe Home Ridden? The germ-breeding places are dark, — less corners, floor cracks, gar unwashed milk bottles, sinks, of drain pipes, and old worn plumbing, kinds Disinfectant this room have got but there“ —and he pointed with his finger to the adjoining door—‘there| And as he spoke he slightly pushed ajar the door he had mentioned. I could see that a room, if anything smaller than the one we were in, was packed full of persons of dif- ferent ages and types, all of whom looked tired. They were sitting not only on the few chairs which apartment contained, but also on the floor. There were women with chii- dren hanging at their breast, m. tary men, -priests, monks, common peasants and two policemen. The last named were seated by the 'o- dow leisurely eating a piece of bread und cold meat, which they were cut- ting into small slices with a pocket- knife. They had evidently nade themselves at home, regardless of consequences or of the feelings f other people. Suddenly we heard another door slam, and a strong step resounded in the hall. A man began to speak in a loud voice. He said: “You just go to see and here the name of one of the most influen- tial officials in the Home Office was mentioned, “and you tell him that Gricha has said he was to give you a place, and a good one, too. It does not matter whether there is none va- cant, he must find one. There, tul.e this paper, and now go, and don't forget to show it when you come to the Home Office.” The door slammed again, and all remained silent for a few misrtes Then the elderly woman who had admitted me came into the apart ment were we were sitting and beck- oned me to follow her. But this proved too much for the feelings of the old General who had’ accosted me on my entrance, and he pushed him- self forward in front of me, exclaim- ing as he did so: “T have been here a longer time than she has been,“ pointing at me with his finger, “and I must get in | first.” | “You cannot do so,” replied the 2 — ME ů * ‘Urges when he was * torrent of invectives rel Rae —ͤ—ũ—2—U— 22 —— - r .

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 27.— Theodore Roosevelt contributes an- other editorial article to the Kansas City Star today under the caption, “Wise Women and Foolish Women.” It follows: BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT. (Copyright, 1917, by the Kansas City Star. Reprinted in the Post- Dispatch by special arrangement with the Kansas City Star.) There are wise and foolish women just as there are wise and foolish men and in any great crisis the wel- fare of this country depends upon the extent to which the wise and pa- triotic men and the wise and patri- otic women can offset or overcome} the folly of the foolish. The woman who bravely and cheerfully sends her men to bat- tle when the country calls takes her place high on the national honor roll. She stands beside the mothers and wives of the men of 76 and of the men who wore the blue and gray in the Civil War. Where would this country now de if Washington's mother had not raised her boy to be a soldier for the right? But the women who do not raise their boys to be soldiers when the country needs them are unfit to live in this republic. The women who at this time try to dissuade their husbands or sons who are of mili- tary age from entering the army or navy are thoroughly unworthy citi- gens. The kind of affection which shows itself by refusing to allow the boy to face hard work when it is his duty to do so, the mother who brings up her boy to be a worthless idler, him suffer the discomfort of hard work and the mother who desires her boy to play the coward or the shirk, in time of war, are not merely foolish; they are poor citi- gens. They are the real enemies of their sons, for there can be no more dangerous enemy than the human being, man or woman, who teaches another human being to lose his soul in order to have his body. The wise mother is the best of all good citi- gens and the foolish mother stands almost at the other end of the scale. I wish every mother in the land could read Theodosia Garrison's poem, recently sent out by that stir- ring body of patriots, the Vigilantes. It describes the youth of 20 years, eager to play a manly part while his mother seekg to hold him from the post of danger and duty, and two of the verses run: Mother of his 20 years, who holds against his will The eager heart, the quick blood and bids them to be still, What of the young, untrammeled soul you seek to blunt and kill? You would save t he body stan- less and complete, Fetters on the hands of it, shack- les on the feet; And in the crippling of them make soul and body meet, 3 11 , = : 7 a , * n — 2 ee ah renal: 1 „ 2. . 2 — . . ⁰VQ 1 ̃ l . ̃ 1 —. ˙nrꝛ ̃Üduũ.

Sappington, an insur- ance agent with offices at 654-657 Pierce Building, who was a member of the Fifth Missouri Regiment, now the 138th United States Infantry, for three. months, but who was dis- charged for physical reasons when the regiment was Federalized, is per- sonally collecting delicacies of 9 sorts and shipping them to his for- mer comrades. Last Thursday he made more than 40 calls on organi- zations for articles which he for- PRICE MOVEMENT 1S IRREGULAR N CORN Sharp Break in Futures Is Fol- lowed by a Rally; Oats Are Quiet. Corn futures wade a quick break of nearly 10 in the early market on the Merchants’ Exchange today, then recovered the decline, only to lose most of it once more. The selling fcllowed a bear drive against the De- cember option in Chicago that low- ered the price nearly 3c. This loss also was regained immediately. There was little in the market news to warrant the selling, other than reports that the Government would ask some of the leading indus- tries to limit their purchases of corn until the new crop is moving more freely to market. Oats were easier with corn, but the market was quiet. Receipts were more liberal as compared with labt year, and an increased movement from the farms is expected. Export demands were only fair. The Liverpool wheat undertone was steady today as result of ex- pected lighter world’s shipments and a Continued good demand for flour and coarse grains, which are strong- ly held. Corn was easier with ex- es S ncccecss 1 e „ „„ 1 . eee nn s0bniea ours in shipping order; return cases de tess; ferioe quality discounted, according pected freer export offers. Oats 222 strong with London bidding and con- tinental demand larger, and this ab- sorption has been sufficiently large to relieve the export situation from pressure and all order cargoes are moderate with winter reserve inade- quate, as military needs are The announcement that the Wheat Export Co. will discontinue buying grain in the West and shipping it di- rect to their own ships, and resume the normal method of buyin< through established American ex- port firms will tend to put the trade, ‘particularly in oats, again upon normal basis, with competitive buy ing. It is thought this wil have a ‘| tendency to establish more uniform and satisfactory prices for producers in al sections, and to that exten“, will improve the grain business. In Argentine the weather is coool in parts with frost in the South. This is not favorable. Grain markets ere dull, with business restricte 1 owing to scarcity. of transportation.

Unsuitable weather conditions are responsible Tie traces were originally scheduled to be held CARDINAL LEADER HAS BEEN CHOSEN = But His Naine; Says Branch, Will Remain Secret Till Deal Is Closed. HAS MANY APPLICANTS TT Half a Dozen Men Have Been Mentioned to Him—Dis- cusses 1918 Team. The new manager of the Cardinals has been chosen, providihg, of course, he can be obtained. This was the information forthcoming from President Branch Rickey this morning. Rickey refused to vouch- safe anything further, nor woulg he give so much as a hint as t he identity of Miller: Huggins’ succes- sor: Rickey was asked how many men were being considered for the job. His reply was that about half a dozen had come to his attention and all of them were men of high base- ball standing. “IT have already decided upon the man I want, though,” said Branch, “and it only remains to be seen whether I can obtain him. That is the reason I cannot disclose his iden- tity or even give a hint as to who he is. “Unless something unforseen bobs up, I am almost positive that this fellow will lead the Cardinals in 1918. Material Is Plentiful. “There doesn't seem to be a scar- city of managerial material. I wish promising young ball players were as plentiful and as easy to find. That is what is bothering me most now. But before I discuss that, I want to say that there probably will be no mention of the new manager for some weeks. “I will admit that is the chief con- cern of the club, but nevertheless it is a matter that will be given deep consideration before the announce- ment is made. I have plenty of other work to do in addition to selecting a new field leader. The Cardinals will more than like- ly put over a couple of deals this winter. I will not say what players on the team are for trade, but I have no desire to conceal what I want. The Cardinals need one more infielder and a hard-hitting outfielder. “It does not make any great amount of difference whether this outfielder bats from the right or left side. He can bat with his head, if he wants to. The only stfpulation I make is that he must hit. Give us these players and I am positive the Cardinals will prove a more danger- ous factor in the race next season that they did the past. Pitching Staff Good. “The pitching. staff is, generally speaking, satisfactory. I have a right to expect great things of Oscar Horstman next season. His showing as a relief pitcher the past season is the basis for belief that he is of major league caliber and I am count- ing upon him to take his regular turn on the mound in 1918. “Watson, too, will be ready for more work. Intermittent flashes of form displayed by him this year prove that with proper tutelage he can be made into a big league pitcher. and a good one, too. Doak is a known factor and I am confident that Meadows is set fora big year. Thus, I think our pitching staff will shape up in good form. The unstable conditions prevailing in the minor leagues last year, which caused not a few of them to quit be- fore the end of their seasons made it hard to find young players. On my scouting expeditions I found a pre- ponderance of players on minor league teams who had outlived their major league usefulness. This, I think, was due to the fact that minor leagues were unable to risk gate re- ceipts in experimentation. They needed their full strength at once and obtained it by Hiring men who had previously been in the major leagues. “This, of course, makes it hard to obtain young material. And the ques- tion naturally arises, will major league teams trade their players this winter? That is something that can- not be answered until the time ar- rives.” A. I. Meeting Important. Bobby Quinn, business manager of the Browns, holds the opinion that baseball history will be made at the coming American Leegue meeting in Chicago néxt month. Quinn says the will be decided upon and that it will prove all-important to fans and mag- rates alike. There is also a possibil- ity that the Browns will consunrmate a few trades at this session. — 0 — MISSOURI IS CRIPPLED.

In answer tg a question of a Post-Dispatch rep- resentative whether in his opinion there was hope of peace through German internal troubles and political revolution, Lord Northcliffe an- swered emphatically, “no.” “The trouble with Germany, he added, is the Kaiser. He completely controls the German Gov- ernment. The privileges and interests of the @ost powerful and influential classes in Germany are bound up in those of the Kaiser. All of their privileges and advantages stand or fall with his power. He is absolute master of the army and navy.” Lord Northcliffe urged the newspapers not to mislead the people as to Germany's military strength and resisting power and particularly not to delude them with the idea that the German people would oppose the Government or over- movements were of German make to deceive out- siders, especially the Americans and British. Men are put up in the Reichstag, which is a mere de- a, 4 society, to make it appear that the people have something to say about governmental ap- | pointments and policies.

Crabtree, the Illinois chairman, terfere with the massacre. But they were not in- terfering. They were not interfering any more than the East St. Louis police. There are times when it is hard for a military officer to keep from using unbecoming language. They tell a story about the Captain of a North Missouri militia company whose men were acting so badly on dress parade that he felt compelled to say something. So he said: “Hickey dingit, fellers, what's the matter with you!” + + i i A GERMAN-AMERICAN RESPONSE. The unexpectedly enthusiastic response of the last few days to Liberty Loan appeals in sections of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank district in- habited largely by those of German descent is easily the outstanding fact of the closing hours of the campaign. So encouraging indeed has been the showing that the various State chairmen of the Liberty Loan Organization are declaring at every oppor- tunity that the patriotism and loyalty of these people as a whole has been greatly misrepre- sented. Some days ago a representative in one Southern Illinois county petulantly reported that the coun- try ought to build a wall around it and intern it until the end of thé war. Another man who un- derstood it better went there. In a few days it had subscribed for $100,000 of the bonds, was hope- ful of reaching its maximum target and was re- pogted as being “wildly enthusiastic.” Madison County, which has a large population Facts such as these tend to support the state- }seatter the soldiers so that they would not in- ‘LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. „„ of Mrs. Eddy.

In-eshort, the Government is controlled and all it does is directed by the Emperor or by those answerable to him alone. He is re- sponsible to no human being or human power and can be checked only by revolution.

I am a frequent Laclede line patron and seldom go downtown that two and often more, of one branch or other of the city service are not admitted into the front vestibule dobr with a hearty greeting of some sort from ihe monarch of the motor. It seems un- fair to a layman that such arbitrary dis- crimination should obtain. = A LACLEDE LINE PATRON. He Lets Em Stand. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘I wish to answer an article appearing in the Bost-Dispatch, in your “Letters From the People” column, signed by R. L. F., in which he criticises the male popula- tion of this city for lack of courtesy to la- dies in street cars and elevators. Dear brother, I am from the south also, down in Tennessee, and when I first came to St. Louis I was impressed with the lack of courtesy on the part of the men in allow- ‘ing the ladies to stand while they kept their seats and for several months I did the same as you are now doing; leaving “my seat in a crowded car and offering it to a lady. 1 £0 However, I now live on one of the popu- jar car lines, 30 minutes ride from my work and in the morning when I go to work and in the evening when I come home the car is always crowded, often several dozen girls standing in the aisles: ‘and like you I have never yet seen a man leave his seat and offer it to a lady. A continuation of this, month in and month out, hardens even a gallant Southerner to some extent, especially if he is tired after a day’s work, of eight hours on his feet, and IT am not ashamed to confess that I now keep my seat with ladies standing in the aisles. In the South as you know the ears are seldom crowded to the extent where people have to stand in the atsles. ‘and where it is the exception rather than the rule, I think most any man would or- fer his seat to a lady. But here in St. Louis un happens every day in the year, morning, - noon and night, and if you propose to do the gallant act, you will stand up the res of your stay in St., Louis. R. W. H * Civil War Flag Episode. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Is there some one in your city who re- members the presentation of a flag to a Captain whose flag was lost in the bat- tle of Pea Ridge during the Civil War? ‘The schools were closed the day of the presentation which took place in some park. My mother, before she passed away, was relating to me how it poured rain, und how men stood with bared heads “while the flag was blessed and addresses made, She said she made the flag for the 5 Captain, he being a countryman of hers. 1 do not remember the name, it seems to miei was Hartman. I would like to know hat became of him, or the flag. Her life was devoted to good The anti-German allies cannot accept a peace }* eonference until they are assured that Ger- many will abandon her ambitious war aims and ruthless, criminal war methods. To do otherwise would be merely to ‘tive a new lease of life and war power to Germany's au- tocracy, which could remain in the saddle un- checked. It would be a useless sacrifice of the blood and treasure expendéd in the war. The | allies must have guarantees beyond*the word of the German Government, which has 18 nored treaties and trampled upon international law and agreements. In another e@itorial we remarked: Peace with a Government of ‘his kind is a mockery. 80 long as the German autocracy which brought on the war masters the Ger- man people, their will and resources, and mas- ters the will and resources of its despotic al- lies, world peace, repose and happiness are imposstble. We do not wholly agree with Lord Northcliffe’s thorough pessimism with regard to the possibility of peace being hastened by a political revolution. A debating society like the Reichstag is a danger- ous thing in a despotism. It sometimes changes its character and in times of stress seizes the gov- ernmental power regardless of Constitution or Emperor. When the people realize that their autocratic masters have deceived and ruined the nation, they have a way of smashing the autoc- racy. We had a recent instance of a debating society which bechme the instrument of imperial destruc- tion in the Russian Duma. It was a helpless thing which turned out to be a dynamic force. So with all despotic governments—they must bow to the will of the people when the people assert their will. We cherish a hope that the German people, steeped as they are with paternalism, may find and assert their will. = = * rr Se Deny yourself some comforts if necessary to buy Liberty Bonds.

In view of the growing scarcity of food the ladies should have no trouble as to breadth, and if American styles are in vogue, the matter of length will likewise cause lit tle concern. Le de „ THE AMERICAN WEAPON. The decision of American tacticians to empha- size the importance of rifle and bayonet drill in training our.armies for battle is in keeping wita the traditions and responsive to the genius of our people. 6 In spite ok the devastating efficiency of modern artillery, the infantryman has not vet been de- throned as the ruler of the battlefield. At various times in history, the infantryman has been tem- porarily displaced but he has always returned to his own. The iron-clad horsemen of chivalry kept the advantage away from him longest, but at Crecy, .Poictiers and Agincourt he gave chivalry blows from which it never recovered. At different subsequent times improvements in the rapidity and power of gunfire have held the ascendancy for brief periods, yet it was the in- fantry of a Frederick the Great or a Napoleon that pushed victory home when the cannons bad done their worst. The Lees and Stdhewall Jack- sons perfected the use of cavalry to an extent the world had never known before, but, in the final analysis, the triumph went to men with muskets and bayonets. Since the retreat from the Marne ended in a trench deadlock the present war has been one pre- eminently of big guns. They, however, serve only to clear the way. After they have leveled har- riers and broken down fortifications, the battle must be decided as always by man-to-man shock action. It is more than probable that by the time gur troops get fully into the fray trench warfare will ave given way largely to open maneuvering. Then it is that the American with his deadly rifle will have a chance to review the glories of Bun- ker Hill, of Lundy’s Lane, of New Orleans, of Bull’s Run, Shiloh, Chickamauga and Gettysburg. a. A, A a A visit by a virile outspoken character like Lord Northcliffe is a good war-time tonic-for any community. ! BAD WORDS; BAD SITUATION. It.pains us to be told that Col. Stephen O.

HEN our Sporting Department ventured the W prediction a few days ago that the war would continue about three years more, we are afraid we did not attach to that forecast the im- portance it deserved. We forgot that the Sporting Department has what no other part of the paper can bring to bear upon great posers like this—that is dope. We have no dope in the Edjtorial Department, an unfortunate omission, it seems to us, for certainly dope has proven itself time and again and so reliably foreshadowed the recent world championship baseball series as almost to make the accounts of the game Uke something we had already read. We are afraid the Sporting Department is entirely scientific in this respect, whereas the rest of us are no better grounded in looking about than we would be if men like Euclid and Socrates had never lived. At any rate, dope, as employed by the Sporting De- partment, has been corroborated in the paper sev- eral times this past week by persons eminently quali- fied to make very shrewd guesses. One of these was Lord Northeliffe, who thinks the war has only fairly begun. Another is United States Senator Meyers of Montana, who spoke at the Coliseum on Wednesday night. Senator Meyers thinks the war is at any rate no more than half over. That, too, seems to be the opinion of pretty much everybody of eminence who has spoken on this subject in the past week. What is dope? Well, as nearly as we can define it, it is the science of cumulative comparison. That is, if the war has gone three years and the Germans seem to be slipping at no more than an average of twelve and one-third per cent, it must then follow that the length of the war is to be about six years. Dope is without sentiment in the consideration. It casts out bodily all the economic theories of what is to bring the war to an end, and admits as factors only the actual results on the various fronts. That is the way baseball games are figured. The emotions of relations who are to be in the grandstand are not considered at all. The fact that more people wish one team to win than are root- ing for another tegm is not a factor. Dope is without emotion, like Elihn Root. * It would de pretty hard to say whose week it has been. This is not so much because the French, for instance, have not done much the most brilliant fight- ing since we last reviewed the situation; but because it is not possible at this time to say what the great contributing factors to victory are. Answers, who be- lieves our own financial drives are much the most important maneuver being made at this time, attaches 80 little significance to what is going on in the front of the paper that he has taken up a permanent posi- tion back by the financial column, where he can bet- ter judge of the action on that front. Nevertheless, the front of the paper has presented some interesting spectacles during the week, and we have pretty gen- erally agreed on the “Editorial Page that nobody is done yet. Just a Minute, who watched the Germans stiffen the Austrian army up during the week and drop one of the big advertiséments on Page 3 on the Italians, says the only people who are actually ex- hausted at this stage of the combat are the war ex- Something more definite next week — maybe. It is a great surprise to us to learn that there is no more smoke in Pittsburg. We are now quite pre- pared to hear that the heating apparatus isn’t work- ing in Hell. 3 ‘ UTE / „ J 0 — . ⁰•ͤ — — —ꝛ ̃ — — PP — Written for the POST DISPATCH by Clark McAdams EVERYBODY KNITS BUT FATHER.

The illiterate ud uncouth girl a cultivated man nes to wife may educate herself yd acquire a society manner. Peo- of different nationalities may yarn to speak the other’s language nd adopt the other’s habits and oms. But insuitability in age between a nan and woman is a difference that jme aggravates and that grows yorse and worse every year. And this b particularly true when the woman sthe older, because women age fast- x than men, and while affection say nimbly skim across the bridge mtween 20 and 30, and call it noth- ng, only duty can halloo across the asm that separates a woman's 50 fom a man’s 40 years. A woman is always older than a man is at the same age. She is ‘born der. A girl baby cuts her milk teeth fore a boy baby cuts his. Also she wis her wisdom teeth sooner. She yarns to talk before he, does, and jhe has made up her mind whom she gill marey and what sort of a wed- jing she will have before a boy has found out that women, as a sex, even wists. And she keeps up this run- sing start on age that she has gotten in the cradle, so that she is an old woman while he is still a mere youth. HESE are stern facts of nature T that no rouge or straight fronts or dieting or massaging | r thinking yeung thoughts, or mii- | liners, Or dressmakers can change | se iota, and it is what makes every marriage of a mature woman with boy a tragedy. And the gall and bitternegs of the tragedy are chiefly de woman’s, for it is easier to bear wing tired of an old wife than for he old wife to know that her yours: husband is wearied unto death of her. There are countless reasons why a boy of 20 should not marry a woman 30. The first reason is that a lad of that age is not fit to marry any woman of any age. He hasn't come % himself. He doesn’t even know | what he is going to be himself, still | less can he guess what sort of a wife | he is going to need and want. | The' woman that charms and thrills a boy of 20 bores him stiff when he is 25 and is an insupport- able affliction when he is 30. Men's lastes change in women just as mueh as they do in food, and a man is no more allured at middle age by the feminine qualities that charmed him in his salad ‘days than his appetite ls piqued by the lollypops on which he was wont to feast as a school boy? Marriage is a man’s sized job, son. it is not for babes and sucklings. Wait until your shoulders are strong enough to bear its load, and your character and habits are formed. Then you will be able to bring judg- ment and discretion and experience. ef women to the task of selecting a wife who will really suit you. And khe won't de 10 years older than 7 are. You can gamble on that. ou never see a man of 20 marrying h woman ot 40 unless she has a large and substantial bank account. Another reason why a boy should not marry a woman much older than he is because they miss the only hasis on which matrimony can be made a success, and that is having the same point of view, thinking the same thoughts, and liking to do the Bame things. This is impossible when there is much disparity in age. The boy husband wants the amuse- ments, the frivolities, the fun ‘that belongs by right to him in the play- time of life, but the wife has arrived at sober middle age when she is tir ed, and desires to let out her corset strings, and cut down the heels of her shoes and wash eff the paint on no pep or ginger in her forced pre- tence of pleasure, and she is a misery to herself and a poor playfellow for Friend Husband. . TILL another reason why the S marriage of a boy and a ma- ture woman is a fatal mistake is because it strikes at two of the most pronounced weaknesses in the masculine character. One of these is the fear of ridicule. Men have far less moral courage and are much more conventional than women, as is proven by the fact that every man dresses exactly like his neighbor, and would rather face a berrage fire than Wear a hat with a brim a quarter of an inch wider or narrower than his fellows. * Now, custom has decreed that the wife should be younger than the hus- band, and has made the old wife of the young husband a figure of fun. Therefore, if an elderly bride pos- sessed every charm, and virtue under the sun, it would not keep her young husband from being ashamed of her, nor prevent him writhing under the torture of having some ninny mistake ber for his mother. The other weakness such @ mar- riage probes to its sorest bottom is man's pet vanity of posing .as the head of the house. No man with a wife older than he is can ever be that.

NE of the important lessons we have to learn of England’s and | Germany's war-time experience is, let child labor laws be more is the warning sounded by Jeanette Bates, Assistant Attorney General of Illinois and ¢hief author of her State’s new and more drastic child labor law. rigidly enforced than ever, manded it and not realizing that the bars to children in industry and is trying now to correct the error. And an evidence of the Kaiser’s forehaudedness is that today in Germany the child labor labs are more rigidly enforced than ever before.“ T HIS was the note emphasized | by Miss Bates, when I met her in East St. Louis, where | she was prosecuting cases against three railroads last week. ‘The features that make our new child-labor law more uncompromis- ing than before are the clause re- quifing a physical examination with each work permit and those de- manding that a child shall have the equivalent of the fifth-grade educa- tion and able to read and write in English, before he goes to work. “Through the pnysical examina- tion we are able to control the vo- cational choice of the child some- what. Some children, while well enough developed and strong enough | to do some kinds of work at 14 years | of age, are not able to do other kinds. Our law allows us to deny the permit up to the child’s six- teenth year if our examining phy- sician declares the child not to be | normally developed.” 3 | “T hear with alarm,” she contin- | ued, employing children in emergencies due to the war. So far as I have the power I intend to see infringe- ments of these laws more vigorously apprehended and prosecuted than ever.“ a The importance of Miss Bates’ as- sertions is due to the fact that she has power. .Nor is she one of those yoting women to whom you can say, “Now you've got the vote, what are you going to do with it?!“ Too often, it must be acknowledged, women are more active in political affairs be- fore they get suffrage than after- ward, and some antis think it safe to argue, “Give it to them and we'll be rid of them.“ Miss Bates is a fine, if rare, ex- ample of what women can do with the opportunity. be When obligation to women voters demanded some recognition by the Republicans of Illinois last election, and Attorney-General Brundage ap, pointed Miss Bates his assistant, she was well prepared to accept. She had proven herself as attorney for the small town in which she resided during some complicated sewer and assessment cases, through her work as attorney for the Legal Aid So- ciety of Chicago, and as assistant Judge of the Juvenile Court, to be well equipped in law. She had had She has seen so much more of life, felt so much more, experienced so ‘much more, that she can only be tol- erant of his opinions as we are of those of a precocious child.

With the most amiable intentions in the world, it is utterly impossible for an elderly wife to keep from henpecking her young husband. ND of all jealous wives under A the sun, the elderly wife of the young husband -is the most greeneyed and suspicious. This. is inevitably bound to be the case be- cause she knows in her soul that youth calls to youth and that her own fading charms of body and spirit cannot rival the rosy cheéks, the sparkling eyes, the nerve and gay- ety and dash of girlhood. So though the husband may be a very Joseph, though he be circum- spection itself, he may not have even the most platonic of friendships with can do with opportunity.“ as good a mother while employed — * ‘England, thinking the emergeney de- war could last so long, let down the abundant experience in dealing with social, industrial and domestic cases and in a great deal of volunteer so- cial service.

But there is no end to the evidence that she is a doer rather than a theorizer. While speaking of the extenuations offered by the less selfish advocates of child labor she commented: “They say it is better to have the children employed than running the streets after school and during vaca- tion.

One morning, when the littie Princess went to the door of the cave the ground was all white and there were no berries for break- fast. Just then she saw two rabbits walking on their hind legs, hopping along with a basket between them. When they saw her they pricked up their ears and turned a somersault on the snow and ran, leaving the basket near the cave. The little Princess ran to the bas- ket, which, as she approached it, grew in size. She lifted the cover and peeked in and there was food enough to last for a week. Oh, look! Granny, look!” she cried, taking the basket to the old witch mother to slfow their good fortune: the fairies sent it. I know they will not let us starve.” The old witch mother began to tremble when she heard this, for the fairies and the bad witches are not good friends, and now that her magic power was gone the old witch moth- er wondered if they knew and would change her into a rock or tree. Do not be frightened, granny, the fairies will never harm us; they are always kind,“ said the Princess, for she did not know the old witch moth- er had been a bad witch or any kind of a witch. She thought she was a poor old woman living alone. The old witch mother did not grow any older as the year went by, but hood and was very beautiful. Of course the witch daughter, hav- ing taken the form of the Princess, grew to womanhoodd, too, and while she was very beautiful at times, the spell of the witch power came over her and she would hide in the woods and become a witch. : The lightning would flash at her command and the thunder roll, and then she took on her own shape, her nose hooked and her teeth long and ugly. Her arms grew long and her fin- gers bony; her hair stood out like wire around her head and she danced and screamed like a wild thing. Then she would change herself back to the form of the Princess and return to the palace. One day there came to the palace a Prince in search of a wife, and the i plied Hicks, The Post-Dispatch Daily Cnort Story WHEN IN ROME > By SAM HELLMAN. | Written for the Post-Dispatch. N these days of travelogues, mo- | tion pictures, missionary lec- tures and illustrated fold- ers there is absolutely no rea- son why one shouldn't feel as a Roman in Rome, no matter in what strange community he finds himself. If you can read and play the movies with average frequency you can be a Kurd in Kurdistan, a British Squire in Warwickshire or a Democrat in Wichita, Kan. Tabitha Hawkins, wedged in Cragg’s corners, where the trains whistled in lieu of stopping, had nev- er seen the Big City in propria per- sona, yet when she stepped off the flyer in the thunderous metropolis she felt perfectly at home. The taxis, the subway, the elevated, the big buildings, all were familiar objects. The movies and the newspapers had brought them to Cragg’s Corners. Three days later Tabitha was din- ing at a boisterous jazz restaurant with Al Hicks, the most eligible parti at the boarding house. Al was of the kind that smiles inscrutably when referred to as a man about town and shrugs enigmatically when women are mentioned. “Pretty swell joint, ain't it?“ re- marked Hicks. “Oh, yes,” vawned Tabitha. is the cuisine? “The what?“ “The cuisine,“ “How repeated Tabitha, with a surprised lift of her eye- brows. “The menu, you know. One finds it so difficult to have thing: just so these days.“ “Oh, pretty good,” muttered Hicks in a crushed tone, Lou don't care if I smoke?“ Tabitha laughed. “What a foolish question. Cer- tainly not. I should smoke mysel were it not that I havea slight cold “You,” gasped Hicks. Do you smoke?“ “Apparently, Mr. Hicks, you haven't been in the city long. All up-to-date smoke.“ “I've been here six years,” re “and I haven’t noticed women in the ci K.“ Perhaps,“ suggested Tabitha gently, you have not mingled in the haute monde.“ Maybe not,” mumbled the man about town. “Will you have a cock tail?“ > “I believe Iwill,” replied Tabitha, with a dash of Angoulene ver. mouth.” 5 “Sure, sure,“ hurriel on Hicks, you'd better tell the waiter just how you wish it made.” “You had better summon the maitre de hotel,” said ‘Tabitha after a bit, “the service here is execrabiv slow.”’ However, a waiter appeared just then and saved Al. What'll you have?” asked Hicks. King gave him the Princess for his bride. When the day of the wedding came the Princess could not be found. Then the servants of the King said | they would go to the top of the mountain, as every other place had been searched, and the Prince would go with them. When the Prince and the King’s the Princess and the old witch, and the Prince was so amazed that he forgot he was in search of his lost sweetheart. The Prince said he would not look further, but marry the beautiful girl he had found on the mountain if she would have him. The little Princess said she would marry him if he would take her old granny also; she could not leave her alone. The Prince said he would, and he took the little Princess to the King and Queen, and when they saw her the Queen fainted, for on the foro- head of the Princess was a tiny star and the Queen knew her child. The witch daughter had not no- ticed the star, and so had not caused the tiny star to appear on her fore- head, and the Queen and King, not knowing anything about the change the witch daughter had wrought had thought the star had disappeared from their daughter’s forehead. „The witch mother now knew it was time for her to speak and she told how she had given her ungrate- ful daughter her magic power. The Prince married the little Princess and the old witch mother lived with them the rest of her days, but the witch daughter never was heard from by the Prince or the Princess or the witch mother. If they had gone to the top of the mountain they might have learned her fate, for there she lived and died in the form of a witch, her power gone to change herself to a Princess again. On the day of her wedding the spell of the magic fate had come upon her, and she had gone to the forest to become a witch for a few heurs, but the wild spell was strong- er than she thought and when her wild dance was over she fell to the ground jn a long, deep sleep. When she awoke she had remained a witch too long to change again and back to the mountain she went, there to remain a witch the rest of her days. ing on the possibilities for women in various less-frequent wanted to know how she found the law. „I have made a living at law. sre a young woman, or show ordinary civility to a beautiful young gir) without his wife having her heart torn by every demon of jealousy and wrecking her fears and suspicions upon his defenseless head.
