They have been months crowded with events of im- mense and grave significance for us. I shall not undertake to de- tall or even to summarize those events. “The practical particulars of the part we have played in them will be laid before you in the reports of the executive departments. I shall discuss only our presént outlook upon these vast affairs, our present duties and the immediate means of accomplishing the ob- jects we shall hold always in vie Wp. shall not go back to debate the causes of the war. The in- tolerable wrongs done and planned against us by the sinister mas- ters of Germany have long since become too grossly obvious and odious to every true American to need to be rehearsed. But I shall ask you to consider again and with a very grave scrutiny our objectives and the measures by which we mean to attain them; for the purpose of discussion Here in this place is action and our action must move straight towards definite ends. Our object is, of course, to win the war and we shail not slacken or suffer ourselves to be diverted until it is won. But it is worth while asking and answering the question when shall we consider the war won? F OLLOWING is the text of President Wilson's annual address valid teen ay. ‘The armistice Men Debate Peace Who Do Not Understand lt. valid for a period of 48 hours: “From one point of view it is not necessary to broach this fundamental matter. I do not doubt that the American people own-—over the great empire of Austria-Hungary, over hitherto free Balkan states, over Turkey and within aren must bé relinquished. Germany's success by skill, by W by knowledge, by enterprise we did not grudge or oppose, but admired rather. She had built up for herself a real empire of trade and influence, se- cured by the peace of the world. We were content.to abide the rivalries of manufacture, science and commerce that were in volved for us in her success and stand or fall as we had or did not have the brains and the initiative to surpass her. But at the mo- ment when she had conspicuously won her triumph of peace she threw them away to establish in their stead what the world will no longer p- mit to be established, military and ‘political domina- tion by arms, by which to oust where she could not excel the rivals she most feared and hated. The peace we make must remedy that wrong. It must deliver the once fair lands and happy peoples of Belgium and Northern France from the Prussian con- quest and the Prussian menace, but it must also deliver the péo- ples of Austria-Hungary. the peoples of the Balkans and the peo-~- ples of Turkey, alike in Europe and in Asia, from the impudent - and alien domination of the Prussian military and commercial autocracy.

We are the spokesmen of the American people and they have a right to know whether their purpose is ours. They desire peace by the overcomintg ot evil, by the defeat once for all of the sinister forces that interrupt peace and render it impossible, and they wish to know how closely our thought runs with theirs and what action we propose. They are impatient with those who desire peace by any sort of compromise—deeply and indignantly impatient—but they will be equally impatient with us if we do not make it plain to them what our objectives are and what we are planning for in seeking to make conquest of peace by arms. “I believe that I speak for them when I say two things: First, that this intolerable Thing of which the Masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face, this menace of combined intrigue and force which we now see so clearly as the German power, a Thing without conscience or honor or capacity for covenanted peace, must be crushed, and if it be not utterly brought to an end, at least shut out from the friendly intercourse of nations, and, sec- ond, that when this Thing and its power are indeed defeated and the time comes that we can discuss peace—when the German people have spokesmen whose word we can believe and when those spokesmen are ready in the name of their people to accept the common judgment of the nations as to what shall henceforth be the basis of law and of covenant for the life of the world—we shall be willing and glad to pay the full price for peace and pay it ungrudgingly. We know what that price will be. It will be full, impartial justice—justice done at every point and to every nation the final settlement must affect, our enemies as well as our friends. . „Fou catch, with me, the voices of humanity that are in the air. They grow daily more audible, more articulate, more per- suasive; and they comé from the hearts of men everywhere. They insist that the war shall not end in vindictive action of any kind; that no nation or people shall be robbed or punished because the irresponsible rules of a single country have themselves done deep and abominable wrong. It is this thought that has been expressed in the formula, ‘no annexations, no contributions, no punitive in- demnities.’ Just because this crude formula expresses the in- stinctive judgment as to right of plain men everywhere, it has been made dilfgent use of by the masters of German intrigue to lead the people of Russia astray—and the people of every other country their agents could reach, in order that a premature peace might be brought about before autocracy has been taught its final and convincing lesson and the people of the world put in control of their own destinies. : “But the fact that a wrong use has been made of a just idea is no reason why a right use should not be made of it. “It ought to be brought under the patronage of its real friends. Let it be said again that autocracy must first be shown the utter futility of its claims to power or leadership in the mod- ern world. It is impossible to apply any standard of justice so long as such forces are unchecked and ee. as the present masters of Germany command. Not until that has been done can Right be set up as arbiter and peacemakemamong the nations. But when thet has been done—as,.God willing it assuredly will be —we shall at last be free to dO an unprecedénted thing and this is the time to avow our purpose to do it. We shall be free to base peace on generosity. and justice, to the exclusion of all selfish claims to advantage even on the part of the victors, Let there be no misunderstanding. Our present and imme- diate part is to win the war and nothing shall turn us aside from it until it is accomplished. Every power and resource we possess, whether of mem, of money, or of materials, is being devoted and will continue to be devoted to that purpose until it is achieved. Those who desire to bring peace about before that purpose is achieved 1 counsel to thelr advice elsewhere. We will not entertain it. We shall regard tlie war as won only when the Ger- man people say to us, through properly accredited representa- tives, that they are ready to agree to a settlement based upon jus- tice and the reparation of the wrongs their rulers have done. They have done a wrong to Belgium which must be repaired. They have established a power over other lands and peoples than their 3 are fighting for the very life and existence of their empire, a War of desperate self-defense against deliberate aggression. Nothing could be more grossly or wantonly—false, and we must seek by the utmost openness and eandor as to our real aims to convince them of its falseness. We are in fact fighting for their emancipa- | tion from fear, along with our on. from the fear as well as from the fact of unjust attack by neighbors or rivals or schemers after world empire. No one is threatening the existence or the inde- pendence or the peaceful enterprise of the German empire. “The worst that can happen to the detriment of the German people in this, that if they should still, after the war is over, con- tinue to be obliged to live under ambitious and intriguing masters intent to disturb the peace of the world, men or classes of men whom the other peoples of the world could not trust, it might be impossible to admit them to the partnership of nations which must henceforth guarantee the world’s peace. That partnership must be a partnership of peoples, not a mere partnership of Govern- ments. It might be impossible also, in such untoward circum- stances, to admit Germany to the free economic intercourse which must inevitably spring out of the other partnerships of a real peace. But there would be no aggression in that; and such a sit- uation, inevitable because of distrust, would in the very nature of things sooner or later cure itself by processes which would as- suredly set in. “The wrongs, the very deep wrongs, committed in this war will have to be righted. That, of course. But they cannot and must not be righted by the commission of similar wrongs against Germany and her allies. The world will not permit the commis- sion of similar wrongs as a means of reparation and settlement. Statesmen must by this time have learned that the opinion of the world is everywhere wide awake and fully comprehends the issues involved. No representative of any self-governed nation will dare disregard it by attempting any such covenants of selfishness and compromise as were entered into at the Congress of Vienna. The thought ot the plain people here and everywhere throughout the world, the people who enjoy no privilege and have very simple and unsophisticated standards of right and wrong; is the air. all governments must henceforth breathe if they would live. It is in the full disclosing light of that thought that all policies must be conceived and executed in this midday hour of the world’s life. “German rulers have been able to upset the peace of che world only because the German people were not suffered under their tutelage to share the comradeship of the other peoples of the world either in thought or in purpose. They were allowed to have no opinion of their own which might be set up as a rule of conduct for those who exercised authority over them. But the Congress that concludes this war will feel the full strength of the tides that run now in the hearts and consciences of free men everywhere. Its conclusions will run those tides. “Truth Cannot Be Uttered Too Often.” VAY these things have been true from the very beginning of this stupendous war; and I cannot help thinking that if they had been made plain at the very outset the sympathy and enthusiasm of the Russian people might have been once for all enlisted on the sie of the allies, suspicion and distrust swept away and a real and lasting union of purpose effected. Had they believed these things at the very moment of their revolution and had they been confirmed in that belief since, the sad reverses which have re- cently marked the progress of their affairs towards an orderly and stable government of free men might have been avoided. The Russian people have been poisoned by the very same false hoods that have kept the German people in the dark and the poison has been administered by the very same hands. The only possible antidote is the truth. 2 be uttered too plainly or too often. “From every point of view, therefore, it has seemed to be my duty to speak these declarations of purpose, to add these spe- cific interpretations to what I took the liberty ot saying to the Sen- ate in January.

PETROGRAD, Thursday, Nov. 29. he demands of Bulgaria for ter- ritorial gains for the consideration of which a conference‘of the cen- tral Powers was called at Nish, are outlined in a secret telegram from the charge d'affaires at Berne to the Foreign Office. The telegram. is dated Sept. 23, 1917, and is based on information received from a Turk- ish officer who had just arrived in Berne. Bulgaria, the telegram said, de- manded that her boundary be from Moravia to the junction of the Dan- ube, including Nish, Servia; along the line from Nish to Prishtina and along the upper Vardar River to the Albanian and Greek frontier; also Monastir, Saloniki, Seres, Drama, Kavala, with the frontier reaching the sea. The whole of Dobrudja (Rumania) also was demanded. Claims from a Bulgarian source corroborate the foregoing, with an additional demand for the valley of the Timoka, separating Servia and Bulgaria, together with the towns of Pirot and Vrania, Servia. A dispatch from the Charge d' Af- faires at Berne, dated Sept. 22, 1917, relates a conversation between the Archimandrite Stephen and a Brit- ish diplomat to whom he was in- troduced, but who refused to give his name. The Briton is quoted as havint spoken of making use of Japanese and Greek forces and as declaring that the allies had decided again to show their good intentions toward Bulgaria, whose national aims, he said, could be fulfilled by the entente. The Achimandrite was given to un- derstand that the entente would not insist on the removal of King Fer- dinand. Asks for Russian View. “The diplomat intimated,“ the telegram of the charge continued, “that Bulgaria could hope for Do- brudja. He also spoke, of the in- dependence of Macedonia. Stephen answered that he would like to see the Russian representatives, as Bul- garia's sympathy had increased since the revolution, and Russia’s parti- cipation was necessary in view of her interest in the Dardanelles and Dobrudja. The Archimandrite ex- pressed the opinion that a Bulgarian Dobrudja would necessitate a Ru- hardly be compatible with Russia's interests. “The Briton exclaimed: Russia does not exist any more,’ and tried to explain his statement by saying that Russia was so busy with internal troubles she time for an international policy.

A telegram from the same source, dated Sept. 25, said the Germans were seeking persons in Switzerland tc issue a Russian newspaper, with the idea of increasing the disaffec- tion in Russia. The telegram said the Germans were willing to spend large sums for distribution of this newspaper on the Russian front. There also was published today a telegram from the then Foreign Minister, M.

British Commander Says Enemy Has Suffered Heav- ily—Battle Most Sanguin- ary Since Verdun. LONDON, Dec. 4.—Before Cam- brai the violent fighting activity un- equaled since the days of the ver- dun attack has broken out anew on a front of less than 10 miles be- tween Marcoing and Gonnelieu. British troops in this sector repulsed with heavy losses German attacks delivered in great strength with large forces. After the fighting of Friday and Saturday, in which the enemy suf- fered severely in fruitless efforts to break through the British defenses in the salient before Cambrai, the Germans brought up new reserve forces. These were thrown against the southern leg of the salient, and throughout Monday Field Marshal Haig says fighting of an exception- ally severe nature” took place, The infantry masses attacked under a strong artillery fire from concen- trated German guns. The Germans advanced into La Vacquerſe, but were immediately thrown out with- out gains. East of Marcoing the at- tacks forced the British to retire slightly. South of Marcoing the ene- my broke through, but a British counter-attack restored the position. A lull on the Cambrai front is re- ported by the War Office today, The statement reads: “The enemy’s artillery was active during the night on the Cambrai front in the neighborhood of Bour- lon and Moeuvres. There was no further infantry action.“ 0 The offleal announcement ot last night said: From Gonnelieu to Marcoing the enemy délivered attacks in great strength, with large forces, and has been repulsed, with heavy losses. “The enemy resumed the offen- sive on the Cambrai battle front with great violence. Fighting of an ex- ceptionally severe nature has taken place today. Our positions have been maintained everywhere except at La Vacquerie and east of Marco- ing. where our line has been slightly withdrawn. „South of Marcoing the enemy broke through at one point, but the situation was restored by an imme- d late counter attack. “On the Ypres battle front there was local fighting southeast of Poly- gon Wood. As a result we advan ed our line slightly and secured pris n- ers.

RECORDER OF DEEDS EXPLAINS e SECURED DEBTS TAX Opportunity to Save About 90 Per Cent of Tax Rate. Recorder of Deeds Joy today ex- plained the workings of the new se- cured debts tax, which became effeo- tive last June and applies to ail classes of bonds except those secured by real estate. Holders of securities can present their bonds for taxation when they call at the city hall to make return on their personal prop- erty. About $60,000 has been collected by Joy under the new law. The rate is 15 cents per $100 for the first year and up to 75 cents per $100 for five years or longer. The Recorder said by paying the full tax on a 31000 bond, which would amount to $7.50, the bond is exempt from all further taxation. The new tax gives bondholders the opportunity of saving about 90 per cent of the tax rate. Previous to the enactmént of the new law bonds were taxed $2.35 per $100, the total yearly tax on a $1000 bond being $23.50. By showing the stamp of the Re- corder’s office on the face of the bond to the Assessor this tax of $2.35 can now be avoided. being made on personal property as of June 1. 1917. DETECTIVE FOOLS CHIEF YOUNG WITH MASQUERADE COSTUME Stinger Gets Into Office for Confi- dential Chat Wearing White Hair and Beard. An old man tottered into the Chief’s office at police headquarters yesterday afternoon. A clerk offered him a chair when he expressed a wish to have a personal chat with the Chief. The feeble visitor was es- corted into the private office. He removed his hat, displaying show white hair. “What can I do for you?” askéd Young. “I just wanted ko see what you thought of my miakeup,” said the visitor, and Detective Sergeant Sting- er of the gambling squad removed the white hair and beard and straightened up. What are you going to do?” ask the Chief. “Raid the old folks home?“ Stinger, after a laugh. explained that he had bought the disguise to wear to a masquerade party and just wanted to “have a little fun” with the Chief.

After the franchise had been approved by the State Commission the city would then, no doubt, be left to exercise its functions in this re- spect without interference. At least, it the laws were changed, the affirm- ative provisions of the franchise would come into effect, if they were not fully effective to start with: The ordinance does not even say that the company shall render adequate service.“ will buy under this ordinance to the tune of $12,000,000 a year at the be- ginning and probably of more than $500,000,000 ‘in the aggregate during the life of this grant, but they wil have to buy it without specifications and take what the company gives them, so far as this ordinance is con- cerned. >» FAIR TREATMENT OF EM- PLOYES AND PREVENTION OF STRIKES. The next matter to be taken care of in a street railway franchise is the condition of the employes. A atrect railway franchise affects four par- ties—the general public, the riding public, the investors and the mer who run the road. The employes cannot be ignored. They are not mere hirelings of the-street car com- pany. They are semi-public officials. Upon their efficiency, courtesy and honesty the comfort of the riding public and the safety of the general Public depends. If they steal, the revenucs of the business are dimin- ‘shed and extensions and improve- ments are impossible. If they are careless, people will be run over. If they go on strike, the city’s busingés is paralyzed and the floodgates cf anarchy are opened. A franchise somes make provi- sions for their welfare and for ths ms. peaceable settlement of disputes be- in Section 39. tween them and their employers. ection 39 of the ordinance | Strikes on street railways should not mi agrees to manage, be tolerated, but they cannot be Maintain its property dur- prevented unless the interests of the m of the grant in first-| employes are properly protected by Mon, at cast equal te the public authority.

With these two things established, abundant capital can be secured at low rates in normal times. While security and a fair return. seem at first blush to be primarily for the/ fact, of the greatest ultimate impor- tance to the city and the riding pub- lic, if they are dovetailed into a complete and logical franchise scheme. Ot course, if these guar- anties are just thrown at the head of the company, without any conces- sions in return, the benefit to the public may be lost. Fixed Sum for Investment. Now we must inquire how these matters are handled by the pending St. Louis ordinance. The first thing to be noted is that the present in- vestment is fixed at a definite sum, and that provision is made for adda- ing to thts sum future expenditures of the company which, in the opinion of the Board of Control, are properly chargeable to capital account. Then we find that if the tity takes the property over, it will have to pay this fixed sum, and if the city grants a franchise to another company when this franchise expires, then the other company will have to buy the prop- erty and pay this fixed price for it. We also find that the property may be mortgaged, by the company for any amount up to tts capital value, and that the bondholders are not to be affected by the forfeiture, termi- nation or * of this fran- chise. So far as I can see, there are only two flies in the ointment from the point of view of the security of the investment itself, and these are very small ones. In the first place, the city does not bind itself to buy the property in case no franchise is granted to this or any other com- pany at the expiration’ of 31 ‘years. If, at that time, the bondholders came into possession and found themselves without ‘a franchise, the city could probably require the tracks, to be removed and could then, if it wished, construct a street car system of tts own: But such a course would be wholly impractica- ble, as the street railway, business in St. Louis cannot be suspended for a week or even a day, to say nothing of its stopping for a year or two while a new system is being built. In the second place, the franchise is technically exclusive, and the city „reserves the right to let other com- panies in. But such a course would be impracticable,- except possibly in spots, as it would necessitate the construction of duplicate sets of tracks in streets already erowded. ‘eurity of the investment is techni- cally curtailed, merely give color to the demand for a higher rate of re- turn than would be necessary if the security were perfect. | Practical Guarantec ‘to Company. When we come to the asstrance of a fair return, we find several in- nr provisions. The ordinance Fa „ 3 8 N 8 f 5 A See 5 . e SMS PF oe E 8 f : 5 4 1 i oa 5 72777 3 , — ‘ Nese Agar? 2. ö 75 2 i 5 #3 2 * . ate thee 3 8 ; i # 8 „ ic.

In all cases the return is to be cumu- lative, so that if it cannot be paid out of revenues in one year it will remain to be paid as a prior claim in subsequent years. The company cannot be required to finance any extensions or improvements or op- erate rapid transit facilities built by the city if its “reasonable. re- turn” would be impaired thereby. It may be a serious question whether the company can earn 6 per cent on the inflated value fixed in the ordinance under the rates of fares prescribed, but if it cannot do so, it can appeal to the Public Serv- ice Comimssion for an increase in rates and if it can prove that the ordinance rates are insufficient, the commission will be expected to in- crease them and on such an oc- casion the city could not well con- test the valuation fixed or the rate of return declared reasonable by this ordinance. Thus the company gets a practical guarantee of its investment and of a rate of return thereon consider- ably higher than the cost of monev to the city, while the necessity of earning this cumulative return is set up as an absolute and continuing check upon the provisions for addi- tions and extensions reasonably re- aquired for the improvement of the service. “All Give and No Take.” Thus the city gets little or nothing for the security granted, but instead establishes a guaranteed over-valua- tion and a full return upon it as Aa barrier to its own efforts during the next 31 years to secure extensions of service. This is all give and no take. There is a curious provision to the effect that the -u. “is sub- qect to the city’s right at any time to alter, amend or repeal.““ I do not un- derstand the significance of this pro- vision, which seems to have been copied from the new St. Louis char- ter. I canot believe that the courts would interpret this clause as giv- ing the city freedom to repeal or modify, in any substantial manner, the franchise granted by the ordi- nance once it had been accepted by the company. This looks to me like camouflage. (This analysis will be concluded in a third article.) 110 I. W. W. to Be Tried Dec. 15.

CUPPLES HEIRS ESCAPE TAX ON INHERITANCES State Supreme Court Rules Be- quests-to Adopted Daughter’s Children Are Not Collateral. The Missouri Supreme Court in a decision handed down today ruled that Mrs. John H. Overall, Mrs. Gus- tavo di Rosa and Mrs. Henry MeRoe, heirs of the late Samuel Cupples, wealthy woodenware manufacturer, are not collateral heairs and hence need not pay the State inheritance tax. These three young St. Louis wom- en are daughters of Cupples’ adopt- ed daughter. On their inheritance of about $172,000 each the tax would have been $25,838.10 and would have gone to the State University. The decision upholds one made by Judge Anderson in the St. Louis Circuit Court. Probate Judge Holt- camp first ruled that as children of an adopted child the three heirs need not pay the tax. On an appeal Judge Anderson first decided against the heirs, but later, when a motion for a rehearing was under way, he re- versed his decision. The State then appealed to the Supreme Court. On behalf of the heirs, Attorney John H. Overall contended that the law specifically makes an adopted child a direct heir and in conse- uuence the children of an adopte! child also are direct heirs. The Su- rreme Court decision upholds this view. SKILLED MECHANICS FOR AVIATION SECTION NEEDED Army Recruiting Office Here Sceks Men for Signal Corps Immedi- ately.

NOW IN FRANCE Number Were Taken to Bring Militia Up to Full War Strength. — | PROGRESS IN DR Get Same Training as Regulars and Are Making Rapid Advances. By THOMAS MARVIN JOHNSON. A Special Correspondent of the Post- 7 Dispatch. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 4.—Drafted men as well as former national guards- men are in France. That is to say national guard units here include in their numbers men chosen under the selective service law to bring up the former ‘national guard to full war strength. The number or proportion of these forerunners of the national army now over here cannot be given but it will be gratifying to people at home to know that these men are developing excellently, showing fine spirit and a willingness and ‘energy unsurpassed by any volunteer troops, ywhich is a bright augury. : Men Now Drilling. These men may ‘be seen any day drilling in squad, platoon and com- pany formations along the broad French roads, learning how to throw bombs, use the bayonet, shoot the rifle and prepare trenches. All men are of good physique and of soldierly figure. f The former guard units, of which these conscripts are now part, are making rapid progress. They are al- ready acclimated to the life of the soldier in the training area of France. They are billeted in lit- tle villages of gray stone houses with red tile roofs, just as the regulars are. They are just as peat and sol- dierly as the regulars and their practice trenches are just as well dug as those of the regulars. Wherever one goes among these guardsmen, whether they talk with Southern drawl, the Yankee twang or the brogue that’s found wherever there's fighting, one finds them ‘fully alive to the seriousness of the task and determined to carry it through. Wants Papers From Home. They are having the identical ex- periences of the regulars which have been. occasionally described in the Post-Dispatch: Ineidentally, naving left behind home ties somewhat stronger than those of the average regular, these boys especially crave letters and papers from home. E.G. LEWIS SENDS OUT Loans Solicited to Enable Him to Resume Publishing Business in University City. E. G. Lewis, former publisher of the Woman's Magazine and the Woman's National Daily in Univer- sity City, and head of banking and realty enterprises there which have gone through a receivership in the Federal courts, has sent out an ap- peal for funds to enable him to re- sume the publishing business in University City. The blanks which he enlcoses in his letters read as follows: E. G. Lewis, Atascadero, Cal.: I hereby agree to lend you the sum of $...... , accept- ing your’ personal note, payable on or before two years. from date, with interest at 6 per cent, and receiving AS A BONUS $500 par value of dividend-shar- ing certificates of your publish-— ing company, owning the Illus- trated Review, for each $100 of the loan, in accordance with the statement in your letter inclos- ing this pledge. This loan to be subject to your call, provided you undertake the re-establishment of the proposed publishing in- Austry in University City, and desire it. The letter is a lengthy statement, from Lewis’ viewpoint, of the rea- sons why those who invested their money with him a dozen years ago lost mest of it. The letter begins with the statement that Lewis does not care to hold any “postmortems” and then proceeds, inf eight closely typewritten pages, to hold the Unit- ed States Government chiefly re- sponsible for the wrecking of his former enterprises, and to outline the new plan. The new plan is based on ‘the idea that St. Louis, because of its central position, is the best location for magazine publishers, and that Eastern publishers will be in- duced to remove their plants here if Lewis is re-established.

We caught the boat at Moerdyck and got into Rotterdam a little be- fore 4. I installed my companions at the Maas Hotel, overlooking the a same old Meuse, and then started] a back through the rain toward Ant- werp. At Willemsdorp we just missed the boat for Moerdyck and st an hour. Eugene raged, and oked many cigarettes, to the dan- ger of his health, because his sacree machine had lost us so much time. At 8 we got to Rosendaal, near the Belgian frontier, and were for- bidden to go any farther until morn- ing, as the outposts were taking no chances. Greeted With Leveled Rifles. Had a good supper at the hotel, had my papers vised by the Bel- gian Consul, and at 6 o’clock yester- day morning was up and away, by way of Putte. The Belgian outposts received us with leveled rifles, but when we got near, one of the officers recognized me through his glasses, and we got through without any more trouble. Arrived at the St. Antoine as everybody was coming down to breakfast. The Germans were bom- barding the outer forts, and they could not believe their eyes, when I came in. Not a word of news had got through the lines for some days, and I was nearly torn to pieces by the excited friends. Got away at 3:30 to the banging of heavy siege artillery and invitations to come back “if we are still here.” As I was getting into the car, Prince D plucked me by the sleeve and pointed at the Cathedral tower high above us. Take a good look,” he said. “It may not be here when you come back.“ Sailed for England From Flushing. On board the S. S. “Brussels,” off Flushing, Oct. 5, 1914.—-To resume. We got into Folkstone last Wednesday evening at sunset, and got through to London by 8:15. All the latter part of the crossing we were spoken from time to time by British destroyers, which bobbed up from nowhere to warn of floating mines or give directions as to our course. The entrance to Dover was surrounded by destroyers, and looked grim and warlike, and what's more, businesslike. | Thursday morning I got up as late as I decently could and went down to the embassy to find Shaler and Couchman waiting for me. They had been in London since Monday, but had not made much progress with their mission of getting food for Brussels. This was due to no lack of energy on their part, but to the general difficulty of getting at- tention for any matter at this time. I went with them to the Belgian le- gation, and after a talk with the Bel- gian Minister we got things started. As the food was intended for the civil population of Brussels, ‘it was necessary to get the Belgian Minister to secure from the Foreign Office permission to ship it through the blockade. He felt that he@pust have some instructions from the Govern- ment at Antwerp for his guidance in the matter, so I telegraphed at some length, with the result that he had ample instructions before the sun went down. The next day he made three or four calls at the Foreign Office and matters were got under ; some very helpful ‘saa, and may do more still.

At any rate, we hope to get, some time today, permission to export enough food to serve as a stop gap until the general question can be settled. When I got back to the embassy, from my visit to the Stores, I found Shaler waiting for me with the news that I was expected at a meeting at Mr. Hoover's office in 15 minutes, to discuss matters with the committee. which is being formed to handle the feeding of the Belgian civil popula- tion. I was surprised to find that I had been made a member of this com- mittee, and was expected to attend. It was a comfort to talk with men who know what they are about and who can make up their minds right the first time. Hoover is a wonder and has the faculty of geting big- caliber men about him. We were not in session more than an hour, but in that time we went over the needs of the Belgian civil population, the means of meeting immediate needs, the broader question of finding food from other parts of the world to con- tinue the work, the problem of get- ting money from, public and private sources to pay expenses, and finally the organization to be set up in Bel- gium, England, America and Hol- land to handle the work. Before we left a tentative organization had been ‘established and people dispatched on various duties with orders to get things started without loss of time, so that food could be pushed across the line into Belgium at me first pos- sible. moment.

Because five of six important wit- nesses in a $10,000 damage suit against the United Railways Co. have entered the country’s service, the suit was dismissed in the Circuit Court fat Clayton yesterday and a compro- mise was effected whereby the plain- tiff, Mrs. Catherine Vander Crussen of Webstor Groves, received $1375. Mrs. Vander Cruyssen was -injure i when.a Webster Groves car struck an automobile in which she was rid- ing, Sept. 4, 1916.

State Fuel Administrator Crossley and coal jobbers and operators will meet the St. Louls Car Committee of the railroads’ war board at 2:30 p. m. today to continue discussion of the coal situation, begun yesterday, and hear the railroads’ side of the controversy. The charge was made yesterday at a meeting of jobbers, distributers and operators that the railroads were responsible for the coal shortage and were giving other commodities preference over fuel. Fuel Commissioner. Williams of Illinois will be represented. The meeting will be in the office of E. D. Nims, chairman of the St. Louis Fuel Committeé of Operators and Jobbers, in. the Boatmen’s Bank Building. 2 limiting of Cars At yesterday's meeting in the Planters Hotel jobbers and operators placed the responsibility of the coal shortage on the railroads, the Ter- minal Railroad Association, Louis- ville & Nashville and Illinois Cen- tral being the worst offenders, tho Fuel. Administrator was told. It was ‘said there were plenty of coal cars available, but the-railroads furnished them only to the capacity of their own mines. One of the remedies suggested was the elimination of re- consignment of coal after it left the mines by a rule of the Fuel Admin- istration directing consignment from the mines and a priority order for the movement of coal. Themas T. Brewster, general manager of the Mount Olive «: Staunton Coal Co., said the condi- tion was not alarming and that it was mainly. psychological and ag- gravated by publicity calling atten- tion to a general shortage in all nec- essaries. “All this talk of suffering from lack of coal,” he declared, is ex- aggerated. No one has difficulty in obtaining a sufficient allowance. It is true, however, that there is no coal to job and that there is not“ a large surplus. It has grown to be a psychological situation aggravated by newspaper reports.”’ Karch Contends There Is Shortage. Among those who took issue with Brewster was United States District Attorney Karch of East St. Louis, a spectator at the meeting. He replied with warmth, declaring an actual shortage existed and that he had so informed the Illinois Fuel Admin- istrator and asked for an investiga- tion of the situation in East St. Louis railroad yards. Brent D. Allinson of Chicago, rep- resenting the Illinois Fuel Admin- istrator, was at the meeting and said he had been assigned to investigate conditions in the Southern Illinois coal fields, and co-operate with the Missouri Fuel Administrator to re- lieve the stringency. HANGING OF SOLDIER APPROVED Washington Announces Private Con- fessed Killing French Girl.

Cadue was hanged after sentence by a military courtmartial, instead of being shot, as had previously been said. The record of the trials says he confessed to the crime and plead- ed that, being under the influence of liquor, he did not know what he was doing. NORWEGIAN SHIPS ARE MISSING! Papers Assert Powerful Vessels Are Being Sunk Without Trace. LONDON, Dec. 4.—During the last few days a number of Norwe- gian ships are reported to have been sunk by submarines, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. Up to now Norway has lost about 800 ships in this manner. Norwe- gian papers assert that new and powerful ships are being sunk with- out trace. ’ Iron Bank in Church Stolen. An iron bank containing donations to the Saturday and Sunday Hospital Association was stolen Sunday from a table in the vestibule of St. Mat- thew’s Church, Sarah street and Kennerly avenue.

SMALL.ENEMY FORCE LEFT This Has Taken Refuge in Portu- guese Territory, English General Reports. LONDON, Dec. 4.— East Africa has been cleared of the enemy.“ it was officially announced last night. The text of the announcement reads: “Telegraphing under date of Dec. 1, Gen. Vandeventer, commander of the military forces in East Africa, has reported that reconnoisances have definitely established that Ger- man East Africa is completely cleared of the enemy. Thus, the whole of German overseas posses- sions have passed into our hands, and those of our Belgian allies. _ “Only a small German force now remains in being. This has taken refuge in adjoining Portuguese ter- ritory and measures are being taken to deal with it.“ German East Africa, which has a coast of about 620 miles and an es- timated area of 384,000 square miles, was attacked by the British forces, including South African troops, un- der, Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, fron the north, and by the Belgian and Portuguese troops from the south and west. The campaign began ear- ly in 1915. Prior to this, British East Africa hdd been invaded and Gen. Smuts, who succeeded Gen. Sir Horace Lockwood-Smith-Dorrien, found that he had to contend witn an army of about 60,000 native troops aided by 3000 Germans and possessing powerful artillery. Starting on March 8, the British troops in two weeks of hard fight- ing drove the German army off their territory and had captured a constd- erable section of their country. From that time the advance of the Brit- ish forces and their occupation of German territory has been steadily carried out. It was recently official- ly announced that the British com- mander was preparing to make 1118 final drive at the single remaining German force in German East Af- rica, which was estimated to nun- ber 2000 rifles. With the loss of East Africa all have been taken from Germany. These had an area of more than 1,000,000 square miles and a population of about 14,000,- 000, including 25,000 whites.

BOY CAUGHT IN CHASE AFTER HE TAKES $20 FROM A SAFE Told Clerk He Was Waiting for His Sister and Grabs Money When Not Watched. : Forrest Fuqua, 13 years old, of 2929 Washington avenue, son of John Fuqua, a chef, walked into the office of a garment factory at 1334 Wash- ington avenue yesterday afternoon and told the young woman in charge that he wished to wait for his sister. When the clerk’s attention was taken up with work, he slipped over to the safe and-snatched a $20 bill. He was pursued to Fifteenth and _ Olive streets and captured. Several days ago he worked the same scheme at the office of an elec- trical supply house at 1224 Pine street and stole $61. Fuqua’s father told the police that the boy had been arrested in Bartles- ville, Ok., and Oklahoma City for the same offense. Forrest was sent to the children's home, formerly the house of detention. . WOMAN SHOOJS HER ADMIRER She Says He Was Trying to Enter Home Through Window. Mrs. Hattie Wiest, 36 years old of 925 Tyler street, shot Joseph Ros- si, 35 years old, of 4007 North Sroadway, in the face when he tried to enter her home through a win- dow at 4:30 p. m. yesterday. He was taken to the city hospital and she was arrested. Mrs. Wiest told the police she and her husband, John Wiest, had warned Rossi to stay away from the house. She had known him several years, she said, and he had forced his attentions upon her. When he rang the doorbell yesterday, Mrs. Wiest's daughter, Mrs. Anna Shaw, responded ang refused to admit him. He then went to the front window and was climbing in when Mrs. Wiest ag wong him, she says. FARMER CLUBBED BY POLICE Prisoner Is Taken to Hospital and Charged With Being Intoxicated. J. A. Highfild, a farmer of Walk- ensaw, Ark., was arrested at Seventh and Market streets last night whe. Patrolman Al Ulrich saw him danc- ing a jazz step in front of the Amer- ican Hotel. He was being escorted to the inebriate ward when he hit the policeman on the left ear. Ulrich and Highfild “mixed” and Patrolman Lyrch appeared. High- fild finally was subdued with a blow on the head. He was taken to the city hospital where surgeons said his skull probably is fractured. He was charged with being intoxicated, ere- eting a general disturbance and re- sisting arrest. * ; J. A. Lavin Jr. Dies. J. A. Lavin Jr. of 5050A Ridge avenue, who had been connected with the business office of the Post-Dis- patch four and a half years, died at his home at 2:30 0 ‘clock this worn- ing after an illness of nearly a year.

VICTORY IS PREDICTED Gen. Ludendorff Declares War Will Not Be a Draw but Ger- many Will Win. AMSTERDAM, Dec. 4.— If for some time yet we maintain our Strength and exercise patience, we Shall carry it to a good end,” said Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the German General Staff, in an interview with a correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, as con- tained in a dispatch from the Aus- trian capital. Field Marshal von Hindenburg ironically referred to “the American advertising methods,” saying: “It is certain that the United States is making efforts to create a big army, and the war is an opportune pretext for this, as in peace tinies the difficulties would be too great to do it. Japan, too, would not have looked on with indifference. The Americans will hardly send their newly created army to Europe at once, as by doing so their own coun- try would be rendered helpless in case Japan should show a sudden in- clination to square up old accounts with America. Confidence in U-Boats. “Moreover, the transportation question would offer difficulties not less than supplies: German U-boats would be a further obstacle. It cer- tainly may be easy to build thousands of airplanes, as America has an- neunced, but it is difficult to equip them. But whenever they may ap- pear the Germans will not be want- ing.“ With reference to the operations in Italy, Von Hindenburg said: “The Austro-Hungarian army com- mand, with which we have co-oper- ated excellently, and its troops have stood the test splendidly. The Ger- man and Austro-Hungarian troops fought bravely and overcame all ob- stacles. Their advance and their achievements are excellent.” Gen. von Ludendorff, Hinden- burg's right-hand man, speaking on the same aspect of the war, said: “Nothing definite can be said re- garding our final aim in Italy. At any rate, Triest is out of danger: the front has been shortened by one-half and the enemy has lost hundreds of thousands of prisoners and half o? his artillery and material. More- over, with the advancing season, the climatic difficulties will increase, es- pecially in the mountains. On the whole every offensive must have a somewhat long interruption or end.” Policy of Elastic Defense. Regarding the situation on the Western front, Field Marshal von Hindenburg said the successf.i! em- ployment of the German policy of elastic defense continued and that when occasionally sections of mo- rasses or smoke-blackened debris were left to their opponents for the purpose of saving human material. it was of no importance. Occasfonal local rebuffs must be taken into ac- count as an inevitable consequence of carrying through great offensives at other points. Regarding the supreme war coun- cil of the allies, the Field Marshul said with a mile: Such institutions are always a sign of incapactty and |. helplessness. When they are at their wits’ end a war council is estah- lished.”’ Gen. von Ludendorff said that for Germany there was no question as to Alsace-Lorraine. He thought a de- cisive blow against France perhaps would yet succeed, although nowa- days, when national strength fights national strength, a single blow could hardly decide the war. The General said, however, that it was not to be doubted a single moment who would be the victor; the war would not end in a draw, but be decided in favor of the cen- tral Powers. “U-Boat War Is Right.” Asked whether the Western Eu- ropean Powers, without the pros- pect of America’s assistance, would not in the meantime have been forced to conclude peace, Gen. von Ludendorff said: “Since the U-boat war gave Amer- ica a pretext to enter the war, this question is tantamount to the que tion as to whether the U-boat war was the right policy. Regarding this, my conviction is unchanged. The U-boat war is right. It has accomplished what we expected. It was not a question of starving En- gland within a few months, but of making her inclined toward peace. The supreme army command intend- ed by means of the submarine war to cause not so much special, but general effects, and especially as re- gards England—to cut off her very important supplies of coal pit 22 “How effective the campaign has been in this respect is proved by man field railways that the allied troops in Italy need no other sup- plies than coal. The scarcity of British tonnage also is proved by England's inability to import Aus- tralian wheat.” Russians Are the First. “It appears the Russians are the first to be inclined for peace,” Gen. von Ludendorff said. “I will not say that I regard.the Bolsheviki manifes- tation as a peace offer,” he contin- ved. “There must be a secure Gov- conclude an armistice with Russia at any time as soon as we have the assurance that it will be maintained. A general armistice, however, will be difficult to achieve.“ Gen. von Ludendorff expressed be- lief that a general armistice would Prag submarine activity and al- low the entente to improve its posi- tions, while on the other hand no supplies would reach the central Powers. Therefore he thought such an armistice should be a brief one, as otherwise the military situation would suffer. Gen. von Ludendorff considered the Russian revolution not a mere piece of luck for the central Powers, but a natural result of the war oper- o tions. Not a War of Armies.” - “Modern war,” said the General. “is a war of peoples, not of armies, and a war ends now when an enemy people is defeated. There are no de- cisive battles as in former wars. The battles merely have an indirect influ- ence on the whole national system, inducing decay and collapse.” The correspondent says he gained the impression that Field Marshai von Hindenburg and Gen. von Lu- dendorff desire a peace which will create conditions of security and sta- bility as far as possible, one which will bring with it secure frontiers and free economic activity on land and sea. With reference to the Russian army, Field Marshal von Hindenburg gave the correspondent his opinion that no more military activity on 4 large scale could be expected from it. He thought it possible, however, adds the correspondent, that “some despot or other, like Grand Duke Nicholas, might seize power and incite the war- weary Russian army to a final ef- fort.“ CATCH COLD YESTERDAY?

It is stated the ex- plosives were found in a portmanteau carried by two boys who are de- scribed as being members of the Countess Georgina Markieviczs's boy scouts, who landed at Belfast from Scotland, Sunday morning. One report connecting the seiz- ure with the Sinn Feiners says the boys landed from a steamer from Androssan, Scotland, and were shad- owed by detectives until the port- manteau was examined. It contained enough explosives, it is said, to wreck most of the public buildings in Dublin. It is further asserted that one boy had dispatches insid> his coat lining. An arrest has been made at Glasgow. Countess Markievicz was a promi- nent figure in the Dublin revolt in 1916. She was sentenced to death, tut the sentence was commuted to penal servitude for life. Later she was released. RAISE GRANTED WESTERN ROADS ON RATES FOR STEEL AND IRON New Charges to Be Filed Shortly to Apply to Shipments From St. Louis to Points in West.

CAFFERATA PROMISES TO BEHAVE Two of Four Cases Involving Hand- ling of Quail Are Dropped. John Cafferata, proprietor of a cafe at 5501 Delmar boulevard, yes- terday gave up his fight against the game wardens and two of the four cases against him were dropped. Two cases on which warrants have been issued will come to trial Dec. 14. Twenty-five quail were confiscated at Cafferata’s place. The penalty for each offense is a fine of.$50 to $100 and $5 for each bird confiscated. E H. Schwartz, Deputy State Game Commissioner, met Cafferata in the office of Prosecuting Attorney Si- dener, and Cafferata informed Schwartz and Sidener that he would not sell game of any kind in the fu- ture or resist inspection ‘of his premises by deputy game wardens.

Temperance and Prohibition In this time of war, when every national energy is directed to — thoughts of national protection, it is inevitable that the country should be confronted with the problem of Intemperance. It is more insistently ~~ necessary than ever before to recognize that it is a paramount public duty to preserve the highest qualities of American manhood unimpaired ’ by any form of Intemperance. In the anxious, almost hysterical desire to do something first, and to consider later its wisdom, there was much clamor for National Prohibition. Russia, aforetime the Land of Vodka and of Misery, and then the Land of Prohibition by Ukase, was cited as the Exemplar of man’s readiness to become abstinent by Fiat. Russia today, in her riot of License and Anarchy, is the Exemplar of the swing of the human pendulum to violent extremes. ' Life, as Men in their ignorance seek to make it, is a pendulum, swing- ing forever to extremes. Life, as Wisdom knows it, avoids all excesses. Life’s pendulum cannot hold fast at either extreme. | Prohibition is the pendulum’s extreme swing from Intemperance. In steady equilibrium stands TEMPERANCE, moderating the extremes of both madnesses. : | Prohibition makes abstainers only of those who WILL to abstain, and more eager drunkards of those who WILL to be drunken. True Temperance makes no abstainers by coercion and encourages no drunkards. “No nation is drunken where wine is cheap,” wrote Thomas he Jefferson out of his wisdom and knowledge, “and none sober where the dearness of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common beverage : _ Thus he enunciated a Universal Principle. Whether we say wine or beer—with less than one-third the alcoholic content of wine—the Principle is the same and is known to the Experience of the Ages This Principle is now firmly fixed in our Federal laws and will 1 e a more truly NATIONAL TEMPERANCE than the coercion __ 3 323 — e E 3 ae 3 1 * 7 3 re Br a U ö ö by 1 a Ps wee — lA eae a 1 - — . a > ore a — — T , ⅛ ö%·.]Vꝛ ˙ »N . ⁵ P „

Just how favorable they are appears in a report made by the Chief Engineer of the Missouri Public Service Commission in 1916 (Case No. 711, Exhibits 8 and 9), in which he reported that— Union Electric’s net income on its investment used in serving United Railways w was less than 2 —1 85 Z, to be exact. Since that time the cost of producing steam power has risen so much that Union Electric claims its 1.85% net income reported by the State Commission’s Chief Engineer has been wiped out. Back in 1910, when the St. Louis Public Service Commission — suggested Union Electric was selling power to United Railways so ; cheaply that Union Electric’s other customers might be overcharged in consequence, United Railways was paying rates one-third higher than we pay to-day, and steam power cost less to produce, In the 1915 Aldermanic investigation of Union Electric and in the State Commission’s inquiry into the Incitation Club’s complaint against that company, in the same year, the same charge was made: that United Railways was paying too little for power. The Post Dispatch and the Star loudly exploited that charge. We are paying lowerrates now, for combined steam and water power, than we paid in 1915. Yet the Post-Dispatch and the Star now say we are paying too much for our power. If our higher rates of 1910 and 1915 were too low, how can our lower rates of 1917 be too high? The explanation, of course, is that in 1910 a 1915 the St. Louis Hammer and Anvil * knocking Union Electric, whereas this year it is | ing United Railways.

Ask Wolff-Wilson Drug Co.— Substitute fear for overconfidence, learn the business of killing and thus avoid the horrible penalties IJpaid by France at the beginning of the war, is the counsel offered Amer- icans by Lieut. Paul Perigord of the French army, a Catholic priest. He served three years in the trenches, was wounded twice, deco- rated for bravery and commissioned for leading a charge against the German Imperial Guard after his company officers had been killed. Lieut. Perigord, who spoke yester- day at the City Club, left the French: trenches near Verdun only eight weeks ago to come to the United States as military attache at Camp Givens, Mass. He has participated in many of the important battles on the western front, including that of the Marne, the French attempt to take Vimy Ridge and the defense of Verdun. The French soldier-priest, intro- duced by Archbishop Glennon, was frequently interrupted in his ad- dress by cheers, and as a tribute to him thé assemblage sang “America” when he concluded. From Joffre. Brings. Message Speaking of the American attitude toward the war, Lieut. Perigord said he had been asked by Marshall Jof- fre to warn us against an overconfi- dence that was apparent to the Field Marshal when he toured the country last spring. “Tell them to be afraid,” Marshal Joffre told me,” he related. “Fear has its advantages for it is the main- stay of ‘valor, which counts heavily in this war.” “There are too many in America seeking commissions,” he declared. “Apparently, no one wants to be a private. At the request of your Sec- retary of War, I am going to tell you what a private can do and ex- plain how commissions can be ob- tained elsewhere than in the train- ing camps. I am under orders to do this, and must put astde my per- sonal dislike of recounting one’s own experiences. “In February, 1915, my battalion was billeted in a little village in Champagne. Suddenly the alarm spread that the German Imperial Guard was attacking in force. Or- ders immediately sent my battal- lion to check the advance. As we cleared a wood we faced a heavy machine gunfire from the enemy. My company suffered the loss of ev- ery officer, and as my Captain fell near me with a bullet through his lungs, he tossed me his sword, or- dering me forward. “After a murderous fight we found ourselves milling forward with the guard in retreat. When we got through with them we brought back what was left. The next day our battalion commander, learning of the loss of our company officers, inspect- ed us’ Seeing my Captain’s sword in my hands and learning how I came into possession of it, he said: ‘Keep it and the company. They are your to command.’” Pays Tribute to English. Leut. Perigord paid tribute to the | English forces. He praised the for- titude of the French women and told how they worked in the factories by day, encouraged the convales- cent in their spare hours and wrote cheering letters to the men in the trenches.

K.—A monthly tenant may be sued for damages done to premises, but not for ordinary wear and tear. THANK YOU.—Check should bear real name. Sign written articles as you please. (Ask movie magazines for movie address.) L. H. After divorce is granted, and court costs paid, unpaid lawyer cannot have decree revoked. He can only sue, as for debt. H. E.—If will is contested you may expect public administrator to then take charge, for in such event Powers of executor named in will ceases. STELLA.—Fortune telling is un- lawful in St. Louis. Mediums of Spiritualist societies, Spiritualism being a form of religious belief, cannot well be prosecuted. The county does not appear to war on fortune tellers. WIFE.—"No Judge.“ said Judge Sale, “can refuse to grant a decree of divorce on an order of publica- tion, nor can he refuse to proceed with the hearing of a divorce case because of want of personal service, and if any court or Judge should refuse to proceed with the hearing of such a case, he would very quick- ly be compelled by a proper writ, issued from one of our Appellate coyrts, to proceed to judgment in the matter.” WAR TALK. WORRIED.—You probably would be put in second class. MRS. COLONNA.—Army lowers flag at sunset, but War Department sees no objection to flying it at night on civilian property; H. E N.—You would have to get in touch with the Seventh Ward. Besides, serial and order of call numbers practically will be ignored in the next draft. MOTHER.—Get in touch with army officials to obtain copy of dis- charge, and with ward in which registration card. HARRY BLOCK.—lIf there is an- other training camp, application should be made at Jefferson Bar- “racks. See recruiting officers. at UNCERTAIN. — Nearsightedness, unless to a degree, is not cause for rejection. Depends upon how much underweight you are. Congress has not yet provided for drafting men who reached 21 since registration day. B. B.—Bureau of War Risk Insur- ance of the Treasury Department has been designated to administer the authority vested in the Secre- | tary of the Treasury relative to the | granting of licenses or withholding | or refusing the same to an enemy or ally of enemy insurance or reinsur- ance company doing business within the United States through an agency or branch office or otherwise. Alien deposits will not be disturbed... J. B.— The Kaiser is said to have called his soldiers before him and said: “Make yourselves more frightful than the Huns under At- tila. See that for 1000 yearg no enemy mentions the very name of Germany without. shuddering.” He likened the German soldiers to bloodhounds held upon the leash by the Kaiser’s thong, as they strained upon the leash with bloody’ jaws, longing to tear their French and Belgian prey. Hence “Hun.” you are registered to get copy of Third and Olive for Coast Artillery. | tamales: an corn until quite tender; press through gp — add pulp of 12 seedeg ,cooked, chile pep- pers, 1 ohion, friend meat of 1 chick- en, chopped fine: 6 tomatoes: spread corn husks with paste; place pimolas and raisins in center; roll on more 7 tie; steam one hour. G. D.—Genuine Yorkshire pudding requires 3 eggs, 3 cups milk, 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, level teaspoon salt. Beat eggs in bowl until light, add half the mik, then flour, sifted with baking pow- der and salt. This makes a stiff batter. Beat until smooth, then pour in remainder of milk and beat again until creamy. Make this about & of an hour before roast is done. Yorkshire pudding may be baked under the meat or in a sep- arate pan, which should be hot and well greased with 2 or 4 table- spoons melted drippings. Pour tn batter, which should not be more than an inch thick when done. If baked under meat. nicest way is to have pan like that in which the reat is being cooked. Have it hot and well greased with beef drip- pings, put batter in it, then place meat rack across pan, not in it, and roast directly over pudding. Bake a little over & hour. When ready to serve, cut in squares and lay around the meat on a hot platter. Another recipe: Sift heaping pint flour with 1% teaspoons baking powder, then add tablespoon butter and a saltspoon salt. Rub butter into flour with tips of fingers. Bedt 2 eggs until light, then add 2 cups milk. Add to flour and mix quickly to thick batter. Pour a few spoons of beef drippings into long tin pan or gem pans, pour in batter, place in hot oven and bake 25 minutes or half an hour. MISCELLANEOUS, ADALINE.—Odeon, 6-DE-on. A. S.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Te the Editor of gg caw tag The report sent out by the New York Sun and repeated in big headlines by a St. Louis daily (Globe-Democrat), that the recent British victory was due to Gen. Pershing, is one of the most mischievous and pernicious indiscretions that the press has been guilty of. In its essence it is good German propaganda, for nothing could be more subtly calculated to feed our unfor- tunate traditional lack of friendliness to- wards our kin and allies beyond seas. The many covert British depreciators will wel- come it as fresh fuel for their fire, while men of British blood who may be a wit- ness to this glaring instance may well turn away in deep disgust at what they will be justified in constdering insufferable pre- - @umption, the very climax of bad form. One can imagine the shame and humilia- tion that will overwhelm Gen. Pershing if by any chance this unsavory concoction reached military ears in France. , How many more years shall we live in an immaturity:of character during which sensationalism his preferred to truth, good taste and self-respect? L. R. JOHNSON. Cape naps tame one Mo. Kreisler’s Expl Explanation. @e the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Iam an American of the Americans, and cannot understand the bitterness in some quarters here against Fritz Kreisler. after the clear explanation to his accuser so ably het forth by him in a letter published in this city not many days since—an exp. ana tion as sincere and beautiful as are his mu- sical renditions. e A. HITE. Homes for Industrial School bang. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Now that the Industrial School has been condemned as a firetrap, please use the influence your paper has to get the city to place those children in private families. The city will pay board for them in an orphanage, so why not in a real home? Give the poor, love-hungry little hearts @ chance. Think of their lives—nothing to call their own, never a kind word. Oh, _ the pity of it all! Please see what can be done for these unfortunate beings, whose only crime is poverty. I know many nice families who would gladly board a child. But the city demands so much and there is so much red tape to bo through with that they say “oh, what's the use. The children would not only have individual care, go to public schools, but many of them would find good homes and be adopted. Lots of le who board children learn to love 1em and want them for their own. Any home, no matter how poor, is better than an orphan’s home. So if the city will only Give these poor children a chance, they éduld find homes for all of them. = People who read this think it over care- fully. Now is the time to open your heart to one of these children, brighten their Aull lives. I'll give my time free and find homes for these children if the city will let me. JANE H.

M. G. A. War Work Delos F. Wilcox of New York brings to “the consideration of the proposed United Railways franchise an experience of two decades in the study of practical municipal problems. He was for years chief of the Bureau of Franchises un- der the New York City Public Service Commis- sion. His two-volume work on franchises em- bodies the best American thought on the rela- tions between municipalities and utilities sup- plying indispensable forms of public service. The objectionable points in the proposed local readjustment which Mr. Wilcox emphasizes in his first Post-Dispatch article are points to which we have repeatedly directed attention. He adds, however, the weight of considerable expert authority to the conclusions previously expressed. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to these points now, disinterested opinion will be practically unanimous on them if the ordinance is ever passed and its defective, inadequate, jug- handled provisions are exposed through its actual workings. Features of the ordinance on which Mr. Wilcox writes words of warning are the recognition given to excessive capitalization—“the most important factor in the problem”—the liberty of choice af- forded the company in all matters relating to ex- tensions, with corresponding helplessness on the part of the city, and the dangerous division of responsibility in the so-called Board of Control. The importance of one provision to which Mr. Wilcox devotes brief but critical sentences has perhaps not been fully appreciated. This is the provision virtually excluding interurban lines from the city except on terms dictated by the United Railways. St. Louis is probably on the eve of a great development of its interurban sys- tem. To impose such an arbitrary and unneces- sary handicap on projected lines would be a pre- posterous sacrifice of the city’s interests to Unit- ed Railways dividends. A consciousness of the nature, effect and value to utility corporations of franchise grants is a part of the ground gained in the municipal ad- vance of the last few years. The great weakness of the old style franchises is that they prescribe terms for excessive periods of time without tak- ing cognizance of changes in conditions. Sooner or later the? impose hobbles on city growth and well being because of the impossibility of fore- seeing at any given time what the future may bring forth. No such franchise should be granted. without: a positive, affirmative showing in pre- ponderance of benefits to the public. The proposed United Railways ordinance is obnoxious and disadvantageous even in the pres- ent, and will become more obnoxious and disad- vantageous with the lapse of time. = = Ne ed -_— The Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association made a fine record in collections this year despite the number of funds to which St. Louisans have subscribed recently. The habit of giving is get- ting to be almost an obsession in this city. eS i ie THE THRIFT OFFENSIVE. Shortly before the war an organization was formed in this country to encourage thrift. It sent lecturers about to urge the people to elim- inate waste and to learn the saving habit and issued pamphlets and books designed to encourage conservation in every form and direction. Whether the organization is in existence now or not is a matter of small moment. The United States Government has taken over its work and is pushing it as no reform in this country ever was pushed. From present indications America will be found, after the war, a nation of savings bank depositors, bondholders, thrifty citizens and conservationists. The Liberty Bond sales in this country have educated hundreds of thousands of persons to the value of secured paper as an investment. Now come the thrift certificates to enable the work- ingman and workingwoman to invest small ‘amounts in Government securities at a good rate of interest and with the best protection in the world. By selling the bonds and the certifi- cates on time millions of people in this country are being inducted into the saving habit and once a good habit gets a grip it is difficult to loosen. Hoover and his organization are engaged in instructing millions in the elimination of waste and the conservaton of all those things that are necessary for human sustenance and comfort. Housewives are being taught the values of food formerly considered as only fit for the -garbage can. This habit of using our supplies instead of abusing them is not going to die with the war. will cling for generations. = = _—-_— “The Italian crisis has passed,” is the official announcement from Rome and London. The Piave can na take its place alongside the Marne, the Yser and Verdun. ONE WAY OF REFORM. The way to cure a town of its cussedness, ir the opinion of the Rev. W. H. Whitlock of Leb- anon, III., is to turn it over completely to the devil and let him run it for a while. The idea is that, with his well-known predilection for over- doing, Satan would run things into and under the ground so far that the opportunists would join the reformers in driving out the devil and all his deputies. | As a last resort the plan has merit, but it is doubtful whether the master imp would take the job. He specializes on big contracts and is wont to leave the small town business to trusted lieu- tenants who can usually be depended upon to do about as well as the boss devil. As a rule they go as far as they dare and the only checks on them are the fear of publicity and the chastisement of aroused public sentiment. Take these away and the average small town deputy can be depended to do what Gen. Byng expected the tanks to do when they ‘started after the Germans the other day. And that is about as much as Satan can do. If Lebanon or any other town were to give leash to its lawbreakers and bid them go as far as they liked, they would probably not go much farther than they BO under the tacit permission which official ecomplacence confers. But the experi- ment might be worth trying. Lawlessness in small towns and in big towns as well owes the measure of its immunity to community indiffer- ence and if there is no other way to quicken com- a 1 ‘Bolsheviki Government. Like the saving habit and other good habits it} munity sentiment a superdose of devil might do it. Gometimes they have to become worse be- fore they become ern THE NAVY NEEDS MEN. The navy's new call for 30,000 volunteers ought to receive the careful attention of every young man who expects to serve his country in some way in the present war. There is no service so vitally important to the success of our entire war program. It makes little difference whether we raise 1,000,000 or 20,000,000 soldiers or build guns and airplanes in enormous quantities if we cannot get them to France and maintain them there. The Germans are boasting that we shall never be able to do it. If we are to do it at all, the navy and the navy alone can bring it to pass. Naval officers declare they can do it and will do it. Everything depends upon what the fleet shall be able to accomplish within the next few months and the only thing the fleet is now beg- ging for is enough men. If the 30,000 are re- eruited within the next few weeks the man- problem will be solved, and that means also the solution of the greatest problem of all—that of policing the ocean highway for our transports and supply ships. Every man who enlists in the navy now will be worth half a dozen who may volunteer later. = = —vgyBᷣ Germany is willing to have Finland, Lithuania and Poland as autonomous states; autonomous as far as Russia is concerned. = * ä BLEEDING KANSAS GETS NEURITIS. The Hugoan story of the runaway gun on the — deck of the corvette in a heavy sea was a work of imagination. No incident with the dismaying results of this one ever happened; no naval ord- nance of the uncontrollable agility of this gun was ever made. The story of the runaway mill- tary balloon in Nebraska is a story of real army life, wherein we again see that truth composedly dares adventures before which those of imagi- nation are dwarfed. An aerial monster which should break away from its masters and rush away in a mad dash of hundreds of miles, administering a flagellation to a whole State as it went, would have seemed a little while ago as improbable a creation of liter- ary invention as the Frankenstein of the medical student. But that is just what this balloon at Fort Omaha did. It detached itself from its fas- tenings with more than a mile of steel cable at- tached and sped away south on the most fan- tastic joyride a balloon ever engaged in, admin- istering many stripes to Kansas on the bare prairie as it swept along in a position favorable for using its lash on recumbent states. In addition to gashes long enough and deep enough to make Kansas bleed again, the damage to the State’s nervous system was considerable. Kansas is suffering from a severe case of neuritis today, as a result of shock and injury to what the electrical engineers from the plane of the ground call overhead work—telephone and telegraph wires, lighting cables, poles, etc. = & — we: Sweden, by offering to mediate between Russia and Germany at this time officially recognizes the Stockholm seems to like the job of doing chores for Berlin. = = * rr THE DE SAULLES FARCE. The De Saulles trial has ended and another slayer of her husband is at large by virtue of the decision of an American jury. No attempt was made by the 12 men at Mineola to justify their verdict. Disregarding the law and the evidence, these men, apparently impressed by the attractiveness of the defendant, shamelessly turned her loose. No effort was made by her lawyers at the trial to show self-defense. It was adduced from the testimony that she invaded her husband’s home and at the first word he uttered crossing her will, fired on him, not once, but five times. He had no weapon and was not advancing on her. In fact, she shot him in the back. And all because the woman who had “danced her feet off“ with other men in his absence, wanted her son! The woman is set at liberty and notice is thereby served on every other woman in the Unit- ed States that if she has a grievance against her husband she can shoot him down and be assured that she will go free—that is, if she is young and handsome. = = * re The Finance Minister of Saxony says that Ger- many must secure a big cash indemnity from the United States. He doesn’t say whether Berlin should take it now or wait until it gets it. = = * Say a MAKING THE STREETS SAFE. The October grand jury in its report made a few days ago suggests that a large percentage of the automobile accidents in St. Louis could be avoided if pedestrians were more careful. It points out that 74 per cent of the fatalities due to motor ve- hicles this year have been to pedestrians, and that 50 per cent of these were to pedestrians who attempted to cross streets at other points than at the regular crossing. There is no doubt considerable truth in the con- clusions of the grand jury. As a general propo- sition there is not much reckless speeding in St. Louis, and the average motorist slows up at cross- ings and obeys the traffic rules, while “joy walk- ers,” persons crossing corners diagonally, and those fording the middle of the block are too nu- merous. There are even some persons, of a Bol- sheviki turn of mind, who make crossings where- ever they wish to in order to prove their right to the streets. So much for the pedestrian. Another thing that is needed to cut down accidents is the stringent enforcement of laws against speeding and traffic violations, and especially the law against intoxi- cated and incompetent persons driving machines. A driver arrested for speeding three times should be deprived of the right to run an auto, children should be prohibited from operating high-powered cars, and drunks careening through the streets in automobiles should be severely punished. St. Louls can and should be made a safe place for the pedestrian and the careful automobile driver.

Ra La) Sign hunting is beginning to pay. We received on yesterday a T-bone steak from J. W. Aycock of Col- linsville, Tex., whose sign, ‘‘Tea Bone Steaks,’’ was turned in by one of our sign hunters a few days ago. Mr. Aycock wants us to try one of those steaks, and the one he forwarded arrived right side up and ready for the grill. It seems to be a good competent steak, and we are obliged to the sender. However, we are unable to gain Noah. Webster’s consent to spell T-bone the way Mr. Aycock spells it. Mr. Webster is obdurate. He says T-bone might be spelled Tau-bone, because it is derived from the nineteenth Greek letter tau. ‘‘Tea’’ he disclaims. He says there isn’t any such steak, but it no doubt tastes just as well by that name. We'll let’ Mr. Aycock know. * * 2 Probably it is the war zone postal rate for publica- tions that is bringing E. d.

Why, when I was a young girl my mother wouldn't let me accept anything to wear from a man. Not even something to wear on the outside. And when I would break me send back everything. Times cer- tainly have changed, and I suppose if everybody else does it that makes it all right. I was telling Isabel when I heard about this that if I were she I would let Marion accept everything, from an automobile to a house and lot, and I’d never make her send back a thing except the ring. After all, the ring is the only present that has any real significance in an en- gagement. My word, that was good; I could almost eat another one. But one must have mercy on one’s figure.

WALKER, BETTY’S OFFERING WISH I could have a lemonade J «tana Saturday and earn some money for the hospital,” said Betty one day. All the other girls are go- ing to have one in front of their houses and give the money to the hospital for the children’s ward.” “If all the other girls do that you had better think of another way,” said her mother. Besides that, who is going to pay for the lemons and the sugar you are to sell?“ “Why, you will give them ‘to me, of course,” replied Betty. “Then it would be my offering, not yours, that would go to the children’s ward,” said her mother. “You must take your own money if you wish it to be your offering.“ “Why, mother, you know I am saving that money to buy a new pair of roller skates, and for my Christ- mas presents, too. I can’t take that,” said Betty, looking very much sur- prised. “Well, that is for you to decide,” said her mother. “If you are to give it as your offering for the children’s ward you must give that which is yours to give.“ Betty walked away thinking very hard. Her mother had never talked that way before and the thought of giving her own money was not at all pleasant to her. “Why. so thoughtful?” called her grandmother to her as Betty passed her window in the yard. “You look almost sad.” Betty told her what had happened. “Mother says I must take my own money to give if I want it to be my offering and I just cannot do that; it is for my skates and Christmas, you know.” “Yes, I know,” said her grand- mother, slowly, ‘but wouldn’t you be happier to give your own money or some that you have earned for such a good cause as that rather than to take your mother’s or father’s money?“ ; How can I earn any money?” asked Betty, becoming interested. “Well, I will tell you of a plan,” said her grandmother, “and if you like it I will help you to carry it out. “You will have to take oyur own money to start it and it will take a Everything but the kitchen stove, I wait in vain to see the knitting ap- | pear.

He wasa familiar figure in previous chapters of American history. When the expedition against Que- bec was being organized in the mid- dle of the eighteenth century the | slacker was in evidence. A newspu- per printed in New Haven during 1758 contains this note: “About a hundred men who left their habitations in this colony in order to avoid the necessary defense and military service of their country and fled into the New York govern- ment were taken up and pressed into service of that province, according to a law there subsisting. And it is hoped that wherever these disloyal, cowardly deserters fly they will in like manner be taken up, so that they must either fight for their country or desert to the French and fight against thes Later, when the colonies rebelled against British rule, the Provincial Congress took notice of the shirker in a set of rules regarding recruits, the first two of which read as follows: “You are not to enlist any man who is not able-bodied, healthy and a good marcher, but as men of a good appearance may have com- plaints which render them incapable of a soldier’s duty, you must give at- tention that you may not be imposed upon, and take the opinion of a sur- geon where there is room for sus- picion.“ Rule 2 gives this advice: Tou will have great regard to moral charac- ter, sobriety in particular; let our manners distinguish us from our ene- mies, as much as the cause we are engaged in.“ A Dry Country.

Betty’s table brought in a good, round sum, and when the sale was over her grandmother suggested that as long as her flowers bloomed Bet- ty should go to the hospital with them and distribute them among the sick people. . “This has been the happiest sum- mer of my life,” Betty told her grandmother when the garden was empty in the fall. “I never knew what a joy it was to feel you were really doing something all by your own efforts, but of course, grand- mother, you were the one who start- ed it.“ said Betty. “We can all start good things, but it takes a will and hard work to carry them on, and I am glad my granddaughter had the desire to do It,“ said her grandmother.

NCOIS MARIE AROUBT, who gained fame under the name of Voltaire, was born in Paris 223 years ago, Nov. 21, 1694. Voltatre’s birthday was celebrated in the French capital despite the war. The anniversary recalls a memorable due! of wits between Voltaire and Pitou, the epigrammist. They had er- changed challenges for a literary duel in which each was to attempt, to write the briefest possible letter. It was on his birthday, when Voltaire was going to the country for a days outing, that he wrote to his antago- nist, “Ee rus,” which is the complete Latin for “I am going into the coun- try.” Pitou’s reply was even briefer, for it consisted of the letter “I,” which, in Latin, means go.“ Voltaire has been the subject of hundreds of anecdotes, On one oc- casion, it is related, he remonstrated with a young poet who had subvert- ed his genius to base uses. “But I must live,“ pleaded the youth, in extenuation.- “I see no necessity,’’ was the reply of the philosopehr Victor Hugo, whose eulogy of Vol- taire at a celebration of the birth- day of the latter ranks among the classics of French oratory, also en- gaged in a duel of brevity. Being ab- sent from Paris and anxious to know how his new novel, “Les Miserables,“ was selling, he wrote to his pub- lisher, “?” and the latter replied with an expressive and triumphant And Father Pays the Bills. 6 OW is Robert getting on at college?” asked the minis- ter, who was being entertained at dinner. “Splendidly,” said the proud fath- er, who then went on to tell of his son’s various social, athletic and scholastic successes, and the minister said it was a fine thing to be college bred. That evening little James, who had been an interesting listener, said: Papa, what did Mr. Brown mean by college bred ?’’ “Oh, that,” said papa, who had been looking over his son's bills, 1 a four years’ loaf.“ — Philadelphia Ledger.

Johnson, president of the American League, and August Hermann, chair- man of the National Commission and president of the Cincinnati club, The length of the schedule for next season, the limit of players to be car- ried by each team, methods of deal- ing with players’ contracts made dur- ing the baseball war, the handling’ of the war tax on admission tickets and the addition of military features to the ball games, were some of the sub- jects which, it was expected would come up for discussion before the conference ends. A joint meeting between the two leagues has been suggested after their annual meetings in New York and Chicago next week, but Mr. Johnson be able to present prospective con- ditions in such shape to their respec- tive leagues as to obviate the neces- sity of a joint meeting.
