To save to and vest in the city free movement to direct future extensions and conven- iences of communication to meet the needs of population and lo- cal development, and (b). The_city’s option to ac- quire ownership at any time on -terms of actual value, with guarantees against loss to the company’s stockholders. To deny the city these stipu- lations would be so manifestly wrong in principle and policy of municipal economics as to in- vite derision, if not contempt, from progressive communities, but, worse than that, it would strangle the free growth of the city and keep from its people the kind of service which a public utility should be compelled to give. The intimate relationship street car, elevated or subway transportation to community economics is now so well recog- nized that it ought to be super- to mention it, but when : téd withthe selfish atm sof private capital it is ‘well to | emphasize this important factor of correct city building. i. © No franchise shouid be given i that does not vest the city with + "power to control transportation ~<{n the interests of its people.

If it is unfair for the city to exact a tax from the Company which it does not earn above its operating expenses and the in- .- terest on capital and bonds based on a true value of the property it is equally unfair for the company to tax the people in cost or service to pay divi- dends on water. The invesior in privately owrred public utilities inspired in the main by specula- tive profits, has no more right to claim reimbursement for losses. caused by false economic man- agement than has the investor in any other form of enterprise, some of which often result in total loss from causes traceable not to wrong management, buf to changes of economic condi- tions beyond the control of the corporation of investor. If for- mer grants to the United Rail- ways or its predecessors are to - be -use@as convertible into-com- ‘pany holdings of intangible but real values we should at this time use extraordinary care and caution not to embarass future negotiations for service or com- munity ownership by further grants of cumulative capital. It is unfair for the company seeking grants for renewals to de- mand that such renewals be made on estimates other than . the true value of the property at this time without such renewals. No doubt the Allison appraise- ment made in 1912 is a fir and even liberal “estimate and the question of present values can be reasonably answered on the advice of experts of the Wilcox type the expenses for which should be borne by the city. Failure to use such service is civic waste of the most flagrant kind and explains why so many things done by the city are ar- rived at in a. flounder of conflict- ing arguments and incompe- tence. The Street Railways situation has already been the subject of acrimonious contention for too many years. Its injection into polities has affected’ other vital issues to_the detriment of the city. The question is too serious for our. legislators:-to be solved without trained and unbiased ad- vice. The excuse that the city has no funds to engage compe- tent advisors is-the answer of our mistakes, Let's tote fair with the com- pany but insist on its reciprocal operation. Would the directors .of the United Railways Co. as business «men advise a private corporation to take the city’s end of the proposed compromise ? | Ral OR SNOW, THEN FAR ~AND COLD, WEEK'S FORECAST. so. rr tonight ene tee fow; warmer, tomorrow. . : poate cman tonight will be manny: s eo one, freezing point. , WASH ING- ¢4 “TON, "Dec.. 1.— Weather predic- tions for the (pweek | beginning’ Sunday, issued. by the Weather Bureau Loman are; Upper Missis- sippi and lower _Mississipp! vat- ys—Light and “DA scatte _ Tains Aior snows in j] southern portion | Ne and snows an 64 northern. ..por ‘tion early | Fe ‘ aitiide ; i ie ae cae : m 39 VOLUNTEERS OUT OF 136 ACCEPTED IN NAVY'S CAMPAIGN 1200 maewasti “Wanted in St. Louls for shea ‘on American War Vessel is. : ten to ee pill in St. ag 1% WAN THD-—1200 for Os United. ‘Recruit pas ; Ruilding : to mart an 4 ch 0 and ear tor spernite u of age: to Annapolis at of a year's service. — In the steval recruiting drive which started yesterday 100 applicants were mined and 27,were accepted.

Assistant Circuit Attorney Baer in opposing this ruling said that if this decision were to be accepted it would be as well to wipe out the bribery statutes off the books as the law could always be circumvented by starting the bribery conspiracy be- fore the journed. No motion to quash a similar in- dictment against James J. Mackey of Rolla, Mo., was made. His case was continued to Dec. 5, when it is expected the indictment against him will be thrown out on the same ground. | ‘¥ | In his lengthy opinion Judge Mil- ller said it was charged that the ‘defendants in November, 1916, conspired to secure certain legisla- tion from the Forty-ninth General Assembly which had not yet con- vened and that in April, 1917, after the Legislature had adjourned one therance of the opinion then says: “Conceding the averment of the in- dictment to be true, as the demurrer technically admits, does it charge any offense?

Cummins also is under burglary and larceny indictments not affected by today’s decision. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS ~~ Also Prohibits Trial of aliasing! Damage Suit Against Former Governor Major. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 1.—The State Supreme Court today issued an order: prohibiting Circuit Judge Shields of St. Louis from proceeding with the trial of the $10,000 damage suit filed “by Circuit Clerk Goldstein of St. Louis against former Gov. Major. Goldstein seeks damages because Gov. Major«did not issue his com- mission ‘until January, 1917, though Goldstein was elected in November, 1916. The Supreme Court held that the Governor is not liable t ésuit for such acts as refusing to issue a commis- sion. The Supreme Court also ousted Frank Schramm from the office of Assessor in St. Louis.

TORY TONIGHT Doctors Say in Their Opinion Defendant ‘Knew Nature and Quality of Act.’ MINEOLA, N. Y., Dec. 1—When ‘summing up addresses” began in Supreme Court here this afternoon, it was believed certain the fate of Mrs. Blanca de Sauiles would early this evening be in the hands of the | 12 jurors who are to decide her guilt or innocence of a charge of murder- ing her former husband, John .L. de Saulles, Aug. 3. Justice David F. Manning at noon indicated he would continue court unti? the issue was finally submit- ted to the jury. Henry A. Utterhart, Saulles’ chief of counsel, Mrs. de was ex- summarizing his side of the case. District Attorney Charles R. Weeks said he would not require more than contentions to the jury. Utterhart preceded Weeks. When both have finished Justice Manning is expected to take two hours in which to deliver his in- structions to the jurors. In case these periods are not ex- ' ceeded by the attorneys or by Jus- it was believed the: tice Manning, jury would begin its deliberation at about 6 o’clock this evening. Mrs. de Saulles smiled with a gesture indicating relief when both sides announced ‘We rest.”’ ‘Court immediately recessed for the luncheon period, and Mrs. de Saulles walked briskly from the courtroom, accompanied by Mrs. Phineas Seaman, wife of the Nas- sau County Sheriff. Justice Mannings. . arge jury is expected to.jdke an addi- tional two hours. / tae Justice of Peace; on Stand. Walter R. Jones, the Justice of the Peace whc presided at de Saulles’ preliminary hearing, as the first witness r lied ._to the stand today. He declared his ob- servation of Mrs. de Saulles follow- ing the shooting gave him the im- pression that she was rational. In answer to a question from At- Uterhart, however, Jones “the unusual circumstances” greatly surprised him. George H. Hoffman, keeper of the Mineola Jail, supported Jones’ opin- ion regarding Mrs. de Saulles’ sanity of action and conversation. during her imprisonment. Mrs. Anna Moon- ey, the nurse whom John L. de Saul- les Jr: called “Boobie,” was the next witness. She told of Mrs. de Saulles’ presentation to King George and Queen Mary during a visit to England in 1914.

CHRISTIANA, Friday, Nov. 30.—) The Kings of Norway, Denmark and Sweden at their conference here, says an official. statement, reached an agreement on the following points: ee : 1. By reason of the harmony existing between the three coun- tries, however long the war may last and. whatever form it may take, the cordial relations and mutual confi- dence of the three kingdoms sha! be maintained. ’ 2 In conformity ~with the previ- ous declarations and policies of the three countries, it is the full inten- tion of their Governments each for itself to observe the utmost degree of noutiaiity toward all belligerent Powers. | 8. The desire is expressed re- ciprocally to aid one another with merchandise during the present dif- ficulties and special representatives are to meet immediately to facilitate the exchange of merchandise: At the meeting there was a discus- sion in reference to legislation deal- ing with the relations of foreigners and Scandinavian subjects. An agree- ment aleo Was reached regarding the continuation of preparatory meas- ures toward safeguarding the com- | mon interests of neutrals during and after the war. The desirability of co-operation between the three coun- tries was expressed as at previous conferences. LIBERAL DONATIONS TO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION Women Report Several Large Subscriptions in Early Hours of Day. _ The Hospital Saturday and Sun- day. Association’s annual two-day ca aign to raise funds to provide free hospital facilities for the poor, which began today, brought a liberu! response from St. Louisans. Society women and girls stationed at down- town hotels and office buildings to receive offerings reported severzsi *housands of dollars. had been eon- tributed up to noon. -' Although many of the donations: were in coins of small denomina- tion a number of large individual subscriptions were reported, includ- ing a $100 check received by the women in charge of collections in the $5 and $10 offerings were received. Subscriptions poured ig so rapidly that additional collection boxes were ordered shortly after the workers’ put in their appearance. At noon more than $500 had been donated by em- ployes of various concerns located in the building. Liberal contributions also were made at the Jeffersdh, Planters and Statler hotels. pect Large: Amount. siciainte of the association expect this year’s offerings to exceed those of last year, which amounted to $38,- 729.05 despite the unprecedented fund raising activities carried on here in the last few months for Red Cross, Y.

Lobbies and corridors were dec- orated. Soliciting is forbidden fn a ruling issued by the association manage- ment. Many office bufidings in outlying parts of the city, hitherto unattended by the charity workers, were repre- sented in the list, today.

The party for war to the end brought Lloyd George to the fore. He was invested with powers under which, disregard- ing the provisions so dear to the British constitution he was made defacto dictator.”’ . The Foreign Sécretary said Mr. Lioyd George probably had not quite come up to the expectations of his friends but that inasmuch as there seemed to be no one to surpass him in the determination to carry on the war, unless Lord Northcliffe should be resorted to, ‘we may probably for some time to come to see the western democracies under the leadership of their dictators, discussing in full har- mony questions regarding the com- mand of the allied forces.”’ Contending that British statesmen were astoundingly ignorant of Ger- many, Dr. von Kuehlmann said by way of illustration that Lord Robert Cecil had pinned down the British Government to the story of utilization by the Germans of the bodies of the dead and had declared that the re- ported plan to institute polygamy in Germany was characteristic of Ger- man views anad institutions. The foreign secretary then told his hearers -it had been said Germany Had shown great reserve on account of the fact that she had a fraudlent design and that once Germany -as- tuteness had succeeded in bringing together her adyersaries at the con- ference table she wuld come out with impressable claims reckokning that the people being tired of war and prepared for far-reaching sacrifices would not give their statesmen the support necessary to refute German demands. On this acount it has been said, it would be necessary for Ger- many’s enemies to continue the fight until Germany was forced to make a detailed statement of her terms. ‘During October the Post-Dispatch printed 63,976 want ads, 5198 morc than the two morning and the near- est evening newspaper COMBINED.

Instead of going across on the eg Pee of stock in what these plac- as we had to do the last time. we found a broad and comfortable pon- toon bridge placed on canal boats and schooners lashed together and red from one side of the river to other. Any time they like, the lgians can cut the string, and there way of getting into the city that side. There was a tre- mendous wind blowing and the rain fell in torrents—short showers— from the time we left Antwerp until we came sailing into town here. The bridge at Termonde had been blown up by the Germans on evacu- ating the place after having de- stroyed the entire town, so there was 10 thought of returning that way. I knew there could be nothing doing the direct way through Malines, so decided on a long swing around the circle by way of Ghent. as the only practicable wey. We found Belgian troops all the way to Ghent, and had no trouble beyond giving the password, which. I had. We drewe uD at a restaurant in a downpour and had a hasty lunch, getting under way immediate- ly afterward. About 10 kilometers this side of Ghent we came to Melle, a village which had been destroyed, and an- cther where a number of houses had been burned: A nice-looking young chap told us that there had been a fight there the day before and that the Germans had set fire to the place as they retreated—just from cussedness, so far as he could sec. There, and at another place along the German troops when they marched against the Belgians. I don’t like to believe that there is anv truth in that story, but it comes from every direction and the people tell it in a most convincing way. We found no Germans until we were this side of Assche and then our adventures were evidently at an end. As we came in we could hear heavy cannonading from the direc- tion of Vilvorde and Hofstade and knew that the fight was still going on. They had been hearing it in town for a couple of days. The family at the legation had been somewhat anxious, but had learned through the Germans that we were all right—evidently from somebody who got through the lines. I had to sit right down and tell the ytory of my life from one end to the other. Sidestep London Embroglio. This morning Baron von Lancken came in and asked me to testify as to what we had seen at Louvain. Of course what we saw had no bearing on the original cause of the trouble and there is no reason for me to push my way into the con- troversy. Besides, I can't do it with- out orders from Washington. We are getting quite accustomed to having no communications with the ‘outside world. Railroads, of course, have ceased to work, except for military purposes, and there is no way for the general public to get about. There has been no posta! service since the Germans marched in on Aug. 20, and we don't know when we shall have any. Af tele- phones were cut off within a few hours of the arrival of the German army. There are no newspapers, and all the information we are supposed to have about happenings in the outside world is fed to us in the form of placards on the walls of the city, Nobody . takes any great der wroduced by the Post-Dispatch by Special “WHERE DID THAT, ONE GO TO?” Arrangement with the London Bystander. a ant they truth, ards tell us, although have sometimes told us the consequently there mand for the few copies of Dutch and. English newspapers that are smuggled across the border and brought to Brussels. The prices } vary according to the number of pa- pers to be had, and run from 5 francs to 100 francs for a single| copy of the Times. Those who do not care to spend so much can rent | a paper by the hour—and custom- ers are not wanting on this basis. By way of discouraging this traffic it is said that the Germans have shot several men caught smuggling pa- pers. Those caught selling them in Brussels are arrested and given stitf terms of imprisonment. All taxis disappeared many. days ago and al- together the normal life of the town has ceased. It will be a rollicking place from now on. German Officers Insult Woman. Miss T—-——-, an American owning a school here, was in late this after- noon to complain of the behavior of a couple of officers and gentlemen who did her the honor of calling upon her. They came swaggering in. asked whether a certain German gir! had attended the school,.and de- manded her portrait. On being re- fused, they became nasty and finally so overawed the two women who were there alone that they found some snap shots and handed over a couple of them. Then they demanid- American 'ed a post card with a picture of the the road, peasants told us that they | school, had been made to march in front of | and tried to compel the two women wrote a message to the girl, to sign it. They flatly refused, and. in a rage, the elder German tore up the card, threw it at Miss T ’ flung down the _ photogrephs and stamped out of the house, slamming the doors. The Minister is going over to see the military authorities in the morn- ing and make some remarks that they will not forget in a hurry. The puppies ought tc be horsewhipped. September 18th. — Repressive measures are getting stronger and more severe. The Germans have now ordered the Belgians to take down their flags. Lutiwitz, the Mili- tary Governor, has posted an Avis on the subject which is worth re- | producing in full: The population of Brussels, uf- derstanding well its own interests, has generally, since the arrival of the German troops, maintained or- der and quiet. For this reason, I have not yet forbidden the display of Belgian flags, which is regarded as a provocation by the German troops living in or passing through Brussels. Purely in order to ayoid having our iroops led to acting on their own initiative, I now call upon houseowners to take down their Bel- zian flags. e The Military Government, in’ put- ting this measure into effect, has not the slightest intention of wounding the susceptibilities and dignity of the citizens. It is intended solely to protect the citizens against harm. Brussels, Sept. 16, 1914. BARON VON LUTTWITZ, General and Governor.

He seemed rather pained at my remarks, and was most reproachful when I threw him out on his head. friend, it has alse occurred to me that he may have been a German spy just trying to find out whether we were, indulging in dirty work. would not be the first time that that sort of thing was tried on us. American Military Observer Arrives. This morning Maj. Langhorne, our military attache from Berlin, breezed in upon us. He is traveling around with six other military attaches, see- ing as much of the field of oper- ations as the German officer who personally conducts them will permit. They got in this morning, and left about one, so we had only a few. minutes’ .visit, and he carried off all our good wishes and New York papers. The German affiche of yesterday, ordering the Belgian flags taken down, has made everybody. furious, and for a time we thought there might be trouble If the flags had been ordered down the day the-Ger- mans came in there would not have been half as much resentment, but, @n the contrary, they began byepro- Claiming that the patriotic feelings of the people would be scrupulously respected. Max, the Burgomaster. got out a little proclamation of his own which served to soothe the feel- ings of the people. After expressing some views.as to the German order, he says: ‘I ask the population of the town to give a fresh example of self-re- straint and greatness of soul which) it has already so oftén shown during these sad days. “Let us provisionally accept the sacrifice which is imposed upon us: let us take down our flags in order to avoid conflicts, and patiently await the hour of redress.” Soon flags were coming down all over the city, and there was not a murmur. An hour after Max's proc- lamation was posted, however, Ger- man soldiers were running about covering them with sheets of white paper, furious because Max had intimated in his poster that the present situa- tion would not endure forever, and that the Beigian flag would fly again over Brussels. In their unimagina- tive way they sent down a squad of soldiers and arrested him.

CONCORD, N. C., Dec. 1.—By testimony of Chicago bankers the prosecution at,the trial of Gaston B. Means, for the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, today continued, to trace the many and sometimes spectacular financial transactions of Means, with the intent of showing he was using the securities and money of the dead woman and her mether, for his own benefit and thus established a mo- tive to support the ¢harge of mur- der. As the first witness today the State introduced Edward F. Mack, vice president of the Central Trust Co. of Illinois, who testified that on Dec- 13, 1916, Gaston B. Means applied to him for a loan of $30,000, offering $38,000 of securities as collateral. The loan was negotiated and a check for $30,000, less interest, was given to Means. The check was identified by the witness. The securities put up as collatera! for the loan were part of those which Means had taken a few days earlier from the Merchants Loan and Trust Co., when, according to previous evi- dence, the trust of $125,000 created by Mrs. King in favor of Mrs. Robin- son had been revoked. Sold Securities to Repay Loan.’ At maturity of the note in June, 1917, Mack testified, Means asked for a renewal which was declined. Means asked the bank to sell the collateral securities and pay the note, which the bank did, paying Means the sur- plus. Mack testified turiher that at the time the loan was made by Means the latter offered him his. choice froma list of securities aggregating something like $75,000. N. M. Garretson of Chicago, next the Illinois witness ties on» Dec. 26, 1916, to the Llli- nois Trust Co. and got a loan of $15,000, putting up about $25,000 as collateral. The. State contends that Means took the securities com- posing the’ $125,000 trust held by the Merchants’ Loan and .Trust Co. for the benefit of Mrs. Robinson and disposed of them for his own benefit at various banks. Garretson identified a transcript of an account showing that Means deposited in about one month's time in January and February, 1917, more than $105,000 and drew it all out within a period of about 30 days, ending Sept. 27, 1917. Mra. King’s Mother Testifies. Mrs. Anna L. Robinson, the aged testified for the prosecution yesterday at ‘the ‘rial. When Mrs. Robinson was be- ing taken to court in her wheel chair, Henry Deitsch, known as Means’ “body guard,” met the party at the door, raised his hands and cried: ‘Don't take that woman in there.” Court attendants brushed the man ending the second effort te halt-the progress of the gray-haired and feeble witness. The first had come a few moments earlier when Mrs. Mary C. Melvin, sister of the dead woman, who sat with the de- fense at the preliniinary trial, tried to reach her mother when she was i'brought up the stairway. Mrs. Robinson testified that the ‘signature on a document used by wy to revoke a trust fund of 125.000 held in the Merchants’ Trade Board Will Bring Pressure to Sek and Trust Co. of Chicago for Bear to Reduce Arbitrary Embargo Restrictions.

Later, however, on vross-examination, she failed to identify her signature on checks payable to her and on which she admitted she had received the money. Means Charged With Interference. The witness told a long story of how, during the two years preceding her daughter’s death at Blackwelder here, on the night o” last Aug. 29, Means had been instru- mental in keeping Mrs. King away from her. If she and her daughter did meet by chance, Mra: Robinson testified, Means always interfered. On one occasion, she said, Means moved her from a hotel on short fhotice, saying that a woman had ar- rived at the hotel who was liable to “give them trouble.” | Mrs. ADP as. eee eee Downtown Prices. wit pin and car fare. gus AT DOWNTOWN PRICES Vandeventer and Olive A great many St. Louisans already utilize the con- veniences of our Uptown Store. splendid assortments of staple Dry Goods, Notions, Ready-to-Wear, Shoes, etc., all marked absolutely at Uptown Store Here we have gathered A Charge Account at our Downtown Store is equally good at our Uptown Store.

Traffic accidents were reported from various} parts of the city. The fog was densest between 6 and 8 a. m. in the hours when the east- bound street car traffic’ is heaviest. The strongest headlights penetrated it for a distance of only a few feet. It was impossible to see across even @& narrow street, and some of the largest downtown buildings were not visible half a block away. Beiween 8 and 9 o'clock the fox lifted. at times, but its density was intermittent and just when it seemed about to clear it woul fall again with ail its original thickness and impenetrability. Strect Cars Move Slowly. Street car schedules were entirely disrupted. Motormen. exercised great caution in operating their cars, but collisions. Cars ordinarily scheculed to comedowntown in 35. minutes consumed an hour or more in the fog . Two automobiles and two street cars figured in a collision at Grand and Castleman avenues ahout 7:30 a. m. A southbound car struck an automobile driven by Edward Schwartz of 3540 Missouri~avenue, going in the same direction. An in- stant later an automobile being driv- en east on Castleman avenue struck Schwartz's machine and then the street car which had started all tiie trouble was bumped into by enotiver car behind it. The police repor’cd nobody was injured in this trie of collisions. — Walter C. Wiedmer, a dentist, of $538 Halliday avenue, -was arrested #t 2 o'clock this morning following a collision between his automobile and a bakery wagon at Grand avenue and Market street.

Two Cass line cars had a rear- end collision at St. Louis and Lamhb- din avenues. Street Car Hits Wagon. A street car hit a wagon at Union and St. Louis avenues. A Lee line car struck a milk wag- on at Grand and ssuth avenues. Two automobiles collided at Ue ion and Easton avenues. In these accidents no one was so seriously injured as to require sur- gical pr medical bshaaterer nasa the po- lice said. A negro girl was hit by a motor truck at Eighteenth and Morgan streets and was taken to the cit; hospital. Weather Forecaster Hayes said the thickness of the air was due almost entirely to fog and that smoke had very little to do with it. The fog, he said, was general throughout the middle Mississippi Valley and the lower Mississippi Valley, extending up the Missouri River to St. Joseph ‘and up the Mississippi River to Davenport. The fog he said was due to condensation of the damp at- mosphere when the temperature dropped during the night. About 9:15 a. m. the fog started to lift and the sun peeped out, giving promise of a clear day.

But “Mi- 1 pssei novels by noted sumably one of Jack London’s last works, if not his last, will rank as one of the strongest books from his pen. to him by “The Call of the Wild’’' will find the story of Michael, the Parable to the earlier novel. A foreword, announcing: that the story was designed to be propaganda against trained-animal) acts, Is dated @| December, 1915. . London's death oc- curred the following November. It is distinctly a man’s story. There is no love motive about it and no woman figures in it except in a merely incidental way. Michael is an Irish terrier dog, whom Dag Daughtry, ship’s steward, stole on the beach at Tulagi in the South Sea Islands. Dag had a way with him and fascinated the dog and though Dag took Michael to sell, he soon learned to love him better than anything else in the world. Michael learned tricks rapidly and Dag out of pure affection, taught him so0 many that, by and by, when time found them in San Francisco, Mi- chael was an easy breadwinner for Dag and his servant. Soon two men coveted Michael. One, a physician, wanted him merely for the pride of possession. The other; a vaudeville actor, wanted him for the stage. The actor tried to buy him, but there was not enough money in the world to make Dag part with him. But the doctor found a cruel way to sep- arate them. He discovered that Dag and his servant had leprosy and he had them sent to a lazarette while he confiscated the dog. That night he placed him in an outhouse at his home, and the actor, following the story in the newspapers, stole Ml- chael and shipped away from the port. The actor sneered at kindness as a method of training animals for the stage. You can make them do a few tricks in an amateurish way by iove, but to make them perform like professionals, whether they wish «1 not, you must eniploy fear. So Mi- chael passed into a period of three years of bullying, abuse and cruelty, although he who had never known any motive for doing anything but love and affection. It is an un- pleasant story that unfolds, but Lon- don’s foreword has asserted that no man nor woman would sit through a trained-animal act that hud the faintest idea what it all meant to the animals mechanically doing their parts with perfection. He felt so sternly about it himself that he made it a practice to leave a theater when- ever trained animals were announced and he hoped that his story, found- ed on his personal observations and investigations, would impel his reac- ers to do likewise. If all theater patrons would follow this custon, the trained-animal aci would be driven from the stage. So, to make his point, the author spares nothing, telling all, with the most repelling detail. Here is Michael, a marvel- ously bright dog, whe could be taught to do anything within the purview of canine achievement, by love, turned under our eyes into 2 morose, surly, unhappy creature by the professional animai trainer's methods. In the end. Michael is res- cued by two persons who treat him with kindness and whom he learns to love. And when a crisis comes in their lives, he fights for them as only a faithful dog can for its mas- ter. The book throughout is a virile piece of writing and the story of a mother whale destroying a schooner from which a missile had been fired that killed her calf is a stupendous sea picture. Whether the author was justified in his sweeping indictment of al! trained-animal acts as Aaving their principal motive in cruelty is open to grave doubt.. All of us have seen sgme such acts in which there has seemed to be a very strong bond of affection between the trainer and the animal,‘also acts in which fear was the primary instrument of obe- dience. As a whole, there is prob- probably that a trainer would war tonly mistreat and abuse an animal, which, because of its performing ability, may be worth thous ands of dollars to him, So, also, abuse is not essentially corollary to fear. It is conceivable that a trainer may keep his animals afraid of him and yet a eter age pete to physical cruelty. ut Jac ndon con (Micediitcas cedes nothing. THE GREEN JACKET.

Indeed, Ches- terton is very much like that him- self. When he wrote less, and dis- tribution of what he wrote was not undertaken on so vast a scale, one got what one wanted pretty. much, something that so rarely happens one today that we are calling this part of his new book, “Utopia of is delightful—-exactly what we used to have from him before he, too, be- came a monopoly and illustrated in the best possible fashion that the re- sult of all monopoly is only incom- petence. We wish Chesterton as a might have him back competently. (Boni & Liveright. ) A LOVABLE COLORED “MAMMY.” ; C. Gordon, is a group of stories of old Southern plantation life before and after the war. Although the setting is after the war, one gets a very good idea of how things were at this partic- ular plantation before the war. ‘The stories are separate, but there is a connection. Ommirandy is the cen- tral figure throughout. She is a very faithful old colored woman, who even after the war not only remains true to her master, though he is un- able to pay her wages because of losses, but also refuses her freedom. She is always willing to defend her previous owners and is very much respected by the other darkies. She is also held in high esteem by her “master and mistress” as she contin- ues to call them. There is a good bit of humor in the stories and they are not without a touch of pathos.

ALBERT.—French naval critic |.Gautrau says that recent events tend to show that the instantaneous de- struction of the most powerful bat- tle unit can be effected more eas- ily by the gun than by the torpedo. As proof of this he points to the fact that the British ship “Marl- borough” of the “Queen Elizabeth” type received a torpedo hit without Leing disabled or disarmed, whereas some of the largest, and best pro- \-ects units were seen to founder | with tragic suddenness as the re- ult of concentrated salvos by heavy guns. This striking proof of the uperiority of the gun, he says, is | considered in the French navy as | being, so far, the most important lesson to be derived from the North Sea battle. Latest model torpedo is a cigar-shaped affair made of steel and having a rather blunt nose. It is 21 inches in diameter, 17% feet long, and weighs over 20)0 pounds. The head holds over 200 pounds of wet guncotton and a detonating charge. It is fired by a pin which is driven against a detonator on striking the target. On this pin is threaded a safety device like a tiny rropeller which unscrews and drops off after it has traveled a certain distance. Next to the head comes the air flask in which is stored air, | the motive power, compressed to | ov et 2200 pounds to the square inch. | In one with the air flask is the fuel | and water compartment containing | aleohol and fresh water to be used lin the super-heating system for de- | veloping steam, which, with the air, drives the engine and works the va- || rfous auxiliaries. This heating sys- tem has increased the effective | range greatly, for otherwise the ex- | pansion of the air would chill it to « low temperature. In the after body, which is cone shaped, are two | turbine engines, capable of devel- | oping nearly 200 horsepower. Here jIso the lubricating system, the steering gear, the depth regulating device and the position and duration | Jocking machanisms. Two propel- lers, rotating in opposite directions and turning 1750 revolutions per minute, are mounted at the extreme after end and drive the weapon. The torpedo is set to travel at a fixed distance below the surface, varying || from zero to 26 feet. Should it go | aeeper than wished, the pressure of |: the. water, acting on a piston and resisting by a spring, turns the hori- zontal rudders up. A pendulum; however, keeps it from going up at too great an angle. The gyroscope is mounted on gimbals like a com- | pass and is spun at a high speed. Should the torpedo deviate from a Siraight course, the gyro moves the steering engine, and brings it back tc. the proper heading. Indeed, the &yro may be set in the desired direc- tionand the torpedo fired more’ than 9C degrees from its course, the gyro bringing it around and holding it in the designed direction. Before a torpedo is fired a “spoon” is run out and carries the torpedo clear of fhe ship's gide. A torpedo is ex- pelled from its tube by compressed air. The forward end of the tube is cut away on the bottom and has ® groove inside along the top. A stud on the torpedo travels in this groove and the tail is clear of the tube before it drops. A lever is tripped by a stud on the tube, ignit- ing the heating device, and another lever, tripped when striking the wa- ter, starts the engines. Range of the modern torpedo is about 10,000 yards and its speed at the beginning cf the run is over 40 Knots. Cost. of a torpedo is about $7590. (Write War Department.) WAR TALK. F. L. I. BE.

Berry Now Ranks at Top Among Football Heroes Performance in Other Sports Place Him Ahead of Athletic Stars of 1917 Season—Has Captured All-Around Title in Collegiate Competition Three Times. By Robert Edgren. OWARD BERRY, Pennsylvania's long been classed with Jim Thorpe and Martin Sheridan, and: now | he has found a place beside such gridiron Brickley, Mahan, Coy, Sam White. H Two weeks ago, when Pennsylva- nia met Michigan and defeated the Westerners by a.score of 16—0, of these 16 points rolled up by the great Penn. machine Howard Berry's in- dividual toe scored no less than 10. He kicked three fleld goals and one goal after a touchdown. Incidentally his fine punting was responsible for keeping the early Michigan rushes back beyond the danger line. Perry’s two fleld goals from 30 and 35 yards in’ the third period demoralized Michigan’s defense, which had been to that time, and Entered Penn in 1914. Berry entered Pennsylvania in the fall of 1914. At once he became one of ‘the star men of the track team. The following spring he became fa” mous all over America by winning the Pentathlon—the allround contest —at the Penn relay meet. There were many well known athletes’ in the competition, including Harry Worth- ington of Dartmouth, who had been a member of the American team at the Olympic games in Stockholm, and was .the world's champion broad jumper. Berry was smaller than any of his rivals. He was 19 years old, 6 feet 8% inches tall, and weighed 165 pounds. But he had quite a reputation as an athlete at Muhlenberg Academy, where he was the star baseball play- er, football player and track athlete. He had plenty of experience in com- petition, and mingling with giants didn’t worry him. The running broad jump was the first event, and Worth- ington won it easily, Berry being placed third. But he won the javelin throw with the excellent record of 158 feet, finished second in the 200- meter race and the discus throw, and ran away from his rivals in the 1500- meter race. With two wins, two sec- onds and a third he éasily won the contest. Three Times U. S. Champion. Berry won the Pentathion again the ensuing year, and captured it a third time in 1917. This last time he cap- tured four first places, with third in Michigan beat Nebraska 20—0. Nebraska defeated Notre Bame 7—O. Bat, Notre Dame defeated pete 7—2 and the strong W. and J. eleven 3—0-——the iatter having held Pittsburg to a 13—10 score. On this line Nebraska figures, at the same time, 86 points werse than Pennsylvania and 7 points stronger than Pittsburg, Eastern champion. This is lainable on the ground that when chigan and Nebraska met, the Cornhuskers were minus about three regulars. VEN more misleading: is some of the “form” displayed during the season. If comparative scores) were to be taken as an ‘ungualificd it can be! shown that the obscure Tufts College | team, which wag ignored until it de- | feated Dartmouth, is the world's champion eleven of the year, owning | a rnergin of 43 points over Georgia | Tech.

Thinks Berry Another Meredith. Berry was a great football player— g00d enough to be elected Captain of the Penn team. .Athletic Coach Law- | s0n Robertson tried to urge him to give up baseball and to make a spe- cialty of the mile and half-mile runs. In Robertson's opinion Berry would have been another Meredith at these distances. But he was too fond of variety to give up any one sport. He stuck to baseball until. this. year, when he was elected Captain of the track team. In 1915 Berry had some trouble with the football coaches and left the squad. He was accused of heing “yellow.” How little sense there was in that attack was shown by his great performances on ths track and the diamond, and later when he came back to football and fought his way to the top in spite of the antagonism that had been aroused when he Jeft the game the year before. Last year he was the sensation of the gridiron, for he played with a fury that made him practically a team by himself. As a member of the First Artillery Regiment of the Pennsylvania Na- tional Guard he went to the border in 1916. Last May he went to Wash- ington and filed his papers to become a member of tne UU. 8, Aviation Corps. Ted Meredith went with him. he is back at Pennsylvan‘a awaiting orders.

Louis player, who is touring the country with Willie, says: “As far ag matching Hoppe with Welker Cochran or any one else is concerned, I consider that a huge joke. Hoppe is playing the billiards cf his life under ad- verse conditions. The more [ watch him the more I marvé! at the macHiine-like way he has in playing. There is no telling what he fg Hable to do in a game. For instance, his best game at Tulsa was an average of 125 run- ningg eut the game in two shots. In oné game ] had him 127 to 59 and he ran 191. Another time I had him 180 to 52, and he ran out with 192. With my sledge-ham- wer stroke I can’t help myself, and when I run 60 or more it is generally all over the table.” According to figures Hoppe is slightly behind hig performances of 1916 and 1915, when he also negoti- ated long tours. His manager is au- thority for the statement that in 1915 Willie avefaged over 55 poins for 60,000 points, and did better than 59 last year for about the same total. Thus far, Hoppe has played 12,000 points for an average of close to 44; while Peterson has an average, as an opponent during this period, of °2.5 for over 6000 points. At three cushiong Willie has aver- aged over 70 for less than 900 Peterson in 50 matches has won but events from Hioppé6, Hoppe has as many while at three cushions won almost three times matches as Petrson. - CAMP UPTON SOLDIERS . .

Chancellor Hertling’s presentation of German | peace viewpoints is based as much on conditions that have outlived their force as Lansdowne's is on conditions not yet achieved. He finds hope of peace on every front except the western front, where the war is to be decided. The only new promise is that afforded by the drive into Italy, and the answer to that is Cambrai. Russia may be out of it, but Russia has not been a rea! force in the war for more than a year. ' The answer to the Russian collapse was given long ago in the Verdun campaign, the most disastrous single campaign since Napoleon's invasion of Moscow. _ Considered merely as a deadlock, the war has reached a stage where it has disadvantages to Germany immeasurably greater than for the al- lies. The smashing blows delivered in France and in Flanders have a significance far beyond the tale of square miles recovered, the towns captured, the peaceful inhabitants emancipated. They mean that the arrogant Berlin military ring has met its master. No other nation aside from Germany could endure much longer such blows to its mili-' tary power and its economic life as Germany has already received. How much longer can Germany endure them? That long must the war continue. i i i ie BLOOMERS VS. OVERALLS. It has long been a moot question whether bioom- ers were artistic, or even sightly. It has been certain that the answer depended in great meas- ure upon the measurements of the wearer, but as between overalis-and bloomers there can be no bifurcation of opinion. They are the final proof that war is altogether evi] because out of the war came the overalls. The incurable thing about the overalis is that they are hopelessly and irredeemably plain. They make every woman look like every other wom- an. And they make all women formless and for- lorn. There is no known way in which femuirine ingenuity can make them look feminine. There is no place for ribbons or tucks or furbelow’s or fluffs. Overalls are irretrievably masculine and before them, or rather in them, the eternal fem- inine is flaunted and fojled. Everybody knee it couldas.go-sn,.. 't was certain that as soon as Woman got a goud square look at herself in overalls she would begin to shed them, to make room for a garment suscep- tible of some scenic embellishment. Blooniers were the logical solution. Belleville factory girls are wearing them, with middies to complete the outfit, and ribbons and tucks, and furbelows and fluffs to follow. Belleville will not be able to keep its bloomers to itself. The downfall of the overali is az- sured, The dawn of the bioomer era is at hand. on ——— © OO——- . — Federal grand juries are doing a lot these days to make the United States safe for Americans. he rw ND ce a ae ee ied ye ENLIST IN THE NAVY. Missouri! has every reason to be proud of its splendid record of enlistments in the various branches of the national service and that {s al! the more reason why it should furnish its gnota of 1200 men for the new navy drive. It is an emergency call. Roughly speaking, the ships are ready and the guns are ready for the navy. But there is immediate need of 30,000 more men. The campaign to raise Missouri's quota has been undertaken by private individuals at the re. quest of Secretary Daniels. Relying upon the tried patriotism of their fellow citizens, they have given assurances that the 1200 will be forthcom- ing. They must not be allowed to fail. There is no longer any doubt that America will have to raise upwards of 5,000,000 men in all for the War. No better way of getting them has been devised than by the coming draft, but be- tween now and Dec 15 men who will be called by that plan have an opportunity to enlist in the navy if they prefer that service. Tt ought to be an attractive service for any man. The navy offers exceptional opportunities for education and travel. The comforts of life are not likely to be so certain in any other branch and the risks are certainly no greater than those of the trench and battlefield. Its traditions are glorious and honorable. The backbone of its en- listed strength is furnished by just such inland states as Missouri. - = = 7" re A UNITY OF GREAT FORCES. The recent settlement of a number of disputes between organized labor and its employers, each side making concessions in order that the war preparations of the United States might not be delayed, is another indication of the growing enthusiasm and unity with which American labor is shouldering {ts part of the-national burden. While the patriotism of organized workmen in this country as a whole has never been ques- tioned, there was, early in the war, a rabid, So- Clalistic and I. W. W. thé unions whose sole work appeared to be the eeneeeineie t piled. fomenting of strikes and the stirring up of ‘dissension. Under the weight of the American us “bec regen of Labor this element appears to be ae sidtere aos Saris vanishing. ‘The American workman has become thorough- | ly eonvieted that this is not a Wall street war, in Russia. ee Obviously some of the conditions he suggests will | least proportionately, and the industrial heads form the basis of peace—when the time comes. ‘of the countries seemingly recognize that this - to be a blunder in a statesman of responsibility. | ‘with higher industrial development is easily un- element in the ranks of |: | clear. ‘the millionaire, and only by a unity of the forces A fear based on more substantia! grounds is of | of this country can the war be won. the damage to civilization if it ends too soon. situation. It realizes that in a time of stress like the present there should be no obstructive conflicts.

Such disputes as arise should be settied by | arbitrafion. It is gratifying to note that labor and capital are taking this view. With com- plete co-operation between these two forces America in invincible. i, i i i i A RECORD IN AEMY TRANSPORT. First the naval men went to Europe. Then the regular army men and a force of marines were se- cretly sent to France, the announcement of their arrival bringing a pleasant surprise to the pub- lic. Soon Gen. Pershing, who had gone across with only a staff to command, had an army bigger than any ever placed under the direction of an American officer except the hero leaders of the Civil War. Along with and’ after the regular army men the national guard bas been streaming across, until now it is made known that every state in the Union is represented in France with militia organizations of greater or less strength, generally greater. Not only is the much-talked-of Rainbow Division there, which left Oct. 15, but other important contingents. Just how many men we now have in or near the battle zone, Washington is not yet ready to have printed. But it is a big force, bigger than most Americans imagine—an army that would be deemed most formidable in any war but the present one. And even in this war it is by no means a negligible force.

Among the almost exclusive agricul- tural states and states in which manufacturing is conducted on gnly a small scale, a number have passed compensation laws. That, however, the usefulness of enactments modifying the old common law Sule in this direction may not be appreciated in such states as much as in states derstood. They do not have as object lessons constantly before their eyes the abuses and swin- dies of ambulance-chasing lawyers, the hardships resulting from court delays, the repeated cases of injustice to injured workmen whose claims are inadequately dealt with. Every one of the other states that lack progres- sive laws on this subject has more excuse for its backwardness than Missouri. To give the work- men of this State the advantages of the new sys- tem will be a worthy object of united, determined effort during 1918. = = ™ a i ii - ” The war appears to be becoming one of ‘‘con temptibles’ rather than one of imponderables The “contemptible British army” is ripping ho.-e: ini'the Hindenburg line and the ‘contemptible Americans’ are making the seas unsafe for U- boats. OOO — WHO I8 TATIANA? One can’t be sure, but there appears to be a lot of camouflaging about the approaching visit to this country of a young woman said to be Miss Tatiana Romanoff. A battle of vords whol- ly out of proportion to the importance of the matter is raging relentiessly and the air is thick with charges and counter charges, accusations and innuendo. _. ane Soaieteat ales There are some who hold it is a preas agent's |. trick; that the story of the former Grand Duchess’ escape through a mock marriage with a humble Russian is the product of some of our best ad- vance-man genius. The adherents of this dor- trine have, at least, plausibility on their side. Others, including Charles Edward Russell, member of the Root commission to Russia, con- tend also that the whole business is a fake, but they attribute to it more sinister reasons than the mere garnering of homeless shekels. They find in it an insidious German plot to arousé s> much sympathy for a distressed damsel that America might stop its loans to the revolu- tionists. Still others believe the story is true. And there is the great majority which hasn’t lost any sleep about it at all, but is equally willing to say howdy to Miss Romanoff or any substitute for her, pro- vided the young lady is amiable and attends with reasonable closeness to her own private affairs. If she is only a dancer, most ‘of us hope she | dances well. If she is an exiled royalty looking for a sympathetic shoulder upon which to weep, the shoulder will be here.
