MRS, IRENE CASTLE DROPPED © FROM CAST OF- “MISS 1917” Managemert Says Dancer Had Been Notified Her Act Was Not Giv- ing Satisfaction. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Mrs. Irene Castle, leading exponent of the dance craze of a few seasons ago, has been dropped from the cast of “Miss 1917, the Century Theater’s big musical revue. At the same time, Adolf Bolm, Flore Revalles and a number of Russian dancers have been detached from the Century’s program and payroll. Mrs. Castle says she was denied admission to the theater, without having been previ- ously notified of any change, and she threatens suit to enforce her con- tract. The theater management has is- sued a statement that there was “no thought of economy” in dropping Mrs. Castle and the Russians. Mrs. Castle, it is stated, has frequently been notified that her dancing act, which lasted 90 seconds, was not giv- ing satisfaction to the management or to the public. : The decline of public interest in dancing is believed to have been the chief cause of the changes.

An attachment suit was today filed in the Circuit Court by the Noonan-Kocian Art Co., 923 Locust street, against Dr. John Schwegel, former Austrian Consul here, who is now in Austria. The suit seeks to recover the value of an oil painting, executed by Tom P. Bar- nett, an architect, which Dr. Schwe- gel purchased of the art company last January. It is alleged that no part of the purchase price was paid. Other paintings of greater value were left with the art company in storage. ‘The Sheriff has been in- structed to levy on these to pay for the Barnett picture. The title of the painting in controversy was not given in the petition. In Next Sunday’s Post-Dispatch The Chivalry of the Air Fighters —Lieut.

MOUNTAIN IS STORMED Invaders’ Maneuver in North Is Like the One Which Caused Great Retreat. BERLIN, via London, Dec. 7.— Four thousand more Italians have been captured in the new Austro- German offensive on the northern front, bringing up the total to 15.000, according to today's official com- munication. Monte Sisemol was captured by storm, the statement says, It was announced yesterday that German artillery was assisting the Austro-Hungarian army of Field Marshal Conrad von Aoetzendorff in the Italian operations. Vienna’s announcement yesterday of the success in Italy said: “The enemy has suffered a heavy defeat. Early Tuesday, after pow- erful artillery preparation in whith German batteries co-operated with the troops under Field Marshal Con- rad, we launched an attack agains: the mountain positions in the Melet- ta region and having reached a hign elevation freely installea with defen- sive works the stubbornly conduct- ed defense was broken. The deep snow and severe cold rendered progress difficult, but the careful preparation for the attack and the bravery of the attackers were able to overcome every counter measure. “Early Wednesday Monte Baden- ecche and Monte Tondarecar fell and at midday Kaiserjaeger Regiment No. 3 stood Monte Gilfa. To- ward evening e Italian resistance on the Meletta ridge broke down before our encircling and storming attacks. Enemy reinforcements coming up from Valstagna were taken on the flank by the fire of our batteries situated east of the Brenta. “During the morning hours yes- gle lost Monte Bello and the rear positions near Foza. At 2 in the afternoon the brave Italian defend- ers who had been cut off complete- ty for 24 hours on Monte Castelgom- berto laid down their arms. All the terrain north of Frenzela ravine is in our hands. In; addition to their important sanguinary losses the Italians these two days lost more than 11,00 pris- oners and over 60 guns. Our losses due to the clever conduct of.the fighting operations were small. Near Zenson, where we have oc- eupied the western bank of the Piave for weeks, Egerland infantry regi- ments successfully withstood storm- ing attacks of several hours’ dura- tion made by superior forces.“ ‘ German Maneuver Same as That Which Caused Great Retreat. By Associated Press. ITALIAN HBADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Thursday, Dec. 6.—The big operation which the en- emy is attempting in the north is virtually a repetition of the turning movement he executed six weeks ago in the great offensive above Gorizia. At that time he broke through the upper end of the line, and thus en- dangered the lower end. This is ex- actly the situation which is being repeated today. The Austro-German attack on Me- letta not only affects the lines in that region, but if the enemy could pierce through and drive nis way southward on to the plains, it might place him on the left flank of the Piave lines, much as the Duke of Aosta had his third army at Gor izia with the enemy on his left flank. It is this quite as much as the fron- tal attack that is receiving consid- eration. The line east of Asiago prob- ably is stronger today than before the retirement yesterday, as it is now a straight line. Formerly it was like a long inverted letter U.“ with the Italians on the inside of the U. and | the enemy on the outside. It has been established that while Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzen- dorff is directing the movement, Gen. von Krobatin's forces also are co-operating. In addition to the su- periority in numbers, the Austro- Germans are taking advantage of the backward season and are strik- ing before the mountain snows im- pede operations. The weather this year happens to be favorable to the enemy. The snow is only a few inches deep, whereas in December the snow usually reaches a depth of from four to 10 feet. One such snowfall now would be worth divisions. Gray skies to- day indicated snow but the fall was light. . It is believed the line on which the Italians have retired is capable of holding the Franzella and Ga- dena passes leading into the Bren’a Valley and the open plain some miics below. The fighting has been of the most desperate character, and while the enemy has paid dearly fer Continued on Page 2, Column 4.

PETROGRAD, Wednesday, Dec. 5. -The Central Executive Committee of the Workmen's and Soldiers“ Del- egates has adopted a measure, pro- posed by the Council of National commissioners for the recall of members of thé constituent assem- bly, who according to Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki Premier, do not ex- press the will of the people.“ The praject provoked great oppo- sition on the part of the moderate element of the committee, who termed it an attempt to curtail the rights of members of the constituent assembly. In defending the measure Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki Foreign Minister, said: Captured Hindenburg Line Still Serves as Reserve Defense for Byng’s BERLIN, via London, Dec. 7.— Capture of 9000 British prisoners and 148 guns since the beginning of the Cambrai operations was an- nounced yesterday. The statement said: “AS a result of our recent suc- cessful attacks and under constant pressure from the north and east. the enemy evacuated his forward | positions between Moeuvres and Marcoing and withdrew to the heights north and east of Fles- quieres. Pressing after him eageriy, we took the villages of Graincourt, Anneux, Cantaing and Noyelles and the wooded heights north of Mar- coing and pushed forward our line to a depth of four kilometers (2% miles) on a breadth of 10 kilometers (6% miles). Marcoing has been cleared of the enemy. “Should there be a majority of the Constitutional Democrats, members of the Right and Social Revolution- ists, the people would forcibly dis- solve the congtitutent assembly.

HIMALAYAN TAHR AND AOUDAD | AMONG ADDITIONS TO THE 200 Goats Sent From Washington. D. C.; Camouflage Mountain“ to Serve as Plaground for New Animals, The Zoological Garden at Forest Park was increased today by the addition of a Himalayan tahr, a spe- cies of goat; a Barbary mountain goat, an Arabian camel, a buffalo cow, six alligators and a miscel- laneous assortment of ducks and plumage birds. The animals and the alligators came from Washington, D. C., and the fowls from Cincin- nati. The Barbary goat, known biologi- cally as the aoudad, has the longest beard of any of the species, and has to hold its head high to keep from stepping on its whiskers. Keepers are constructing two trel- lises which will be “camouflaged” to represent mountains for the en- tertainment of the goats, which are expected to run up and down arti- ficial cliffs to amuse themselves. Whether the 18-foot “mountain” will deceive animals accustomed to Mount Everest is yet to be deter- mined.

The United States Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation, will award contracts for the construction of ocean-going vessels in St. Louis, provided prompt work and reason- able prices are assured. This was ennounced today in a report made to President Hawes of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce by a com- mittee consisting of Festus J. Wade. A. L. Shapleigh and and John F. Queeny. The comimttee was appointed to investigate the question of building ships and barges in St. Louis, fol- lcwing Lord Northeliffe's suggestion on his visit here Oct. 26. They con- sulted Brigadier-General W. H. Bix- by, U. S. A., retired, president of the Mississippi River Commission.

The retirement was carried out successfully, mainly be- tween the hours of 12 and 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and under cover of darkness. Not until many hours later did the enemy discover he was facing evacuated territory. The Germans today had swarmed over much of the vacated zone, and were digging themselves in along the advanced line, but as late as 1:60 o’clock Wednesday afternoon they were still shelling Bourlon Wood, and between noon and 1 o’clock they launched a heavy attack against the empty trenches near Moeuvres, show- ing that they.were uncertain of the situation even then.

ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, Dec. 7.—Eyewitnesses of the Halifax ex- plosion reaching here today told de- tails of the horrors through which they passed. In the party were 14 young. women students from Mount St. Vincent’s Academy. Edmond P. Barry, St. John, postal clerk, was at Richmond during the worst of the catastrophe. “Some people came to us with noses shot off, eyes put out, faces slashed with flying glass, limbs torn and distorted,” he said. “On one éccaston, while we were working around a wrecked building, we could see a little baby 50 feet or more un- derneath a burning mass crying for aid. We could not get within 30 feet of the child and had to watch while it burned to death. Men, wom- en and children were lying in the streets and hundreds must be buried beneath wreckage.” J. C. Gillespie, a train conductor, said that at Richmond fully 60 per cent of the buildings collapsed. Ba- bies were lying in the streets dead. Ernest Cameron, a Canadian Pacific telegraph operator, and all his fam- ily were killed. 8 N * Dre 9 fealizing that there ntil Christmas, POST-DISPATCH to 4 = 92% + OIROULATION THAT SELLS THE GOODS Auerage for 11 months, 1917: Sanday, 360,876 | Daily and Sunday, 193,573 a weekday in St. “First in Everything.”” Concentrating the Holiday Punch!

OFFICIAL FIRST WITNESS Tells Public Service Commission Association Will Have $1,- 500,000 Deficit for Year. The Terminal Railroad Associa- tion is preparing to ask the Inter- state Commerce Commission to au- thorize an increase of its “trans- rover rates,“ commonly known as the bridge arbitrary, according to testimony given at a hearing before the Missouri Public Service Com- mission at the Planters Hotel to- day by W. Stith, traffic manager of the Association. ; This hearing was on the Termi- nal’s application to.the State Com- mission for authorization to tncrease switching charge rates for trans- ferring freight from one connect- | ing line to another. A similar ap- plication is pending before the IIli- nois Public Service Commission. Because of the interstate problems involved A. J. Hagerty, attorney ex- aminer for the Interstate Commerce Commission, attended the hearing and did most of the questioning. Stith, who was the first witness examined, testified that the Termi- reat | finances would show a deficit of $1,500,000 at the close of the present year. At the close of 1916, he said, it had a surplus of $900,000, but this has been wiped out and an addi- tional $600,000 has been spent. This, he declared, was due to increases in the cost of wages, fuel and equip- ment. Stith said wages increased 3845, 000, fuel cost increased $387,900 and supplies and equipment increased $275,000. A schedule of the proposed in- creases was filled with the commis- sion July 2 last. Action on them was suspended for investigation. In some instances the proposed new rates would mean a 300 per cent in- crease in switching rates. In oth- ers, acording to location, they would mean a reduction, according to Ter- minal officials: The company asked permission to change its rate system on certain classes of freight so as to charge 10 cents a ton, instead of the present rate of $1 a car. C. B. Bee, chief rate expert of the today told a Post-Dispatch reporter that 2 St. Louis manufacturer had informed him that under the new rate his company would pay $20,000 a year more than heretofore for switching charges. Bee said he had estimated that the proposed new rates woul? add $1,000,000 a year to the aggre- gate cost of freight switching in St. Louis. : The proposed new schedule also was filed with the Illinois Public Service Commission. Representa - tives of East St. Louis commercial bodies attended today's hearing. A J. Hagerty, attorney examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, also waa present, as were coun- sel for the city, the St: Louis Cham ber of Commerce and the Merchants’ Exchange.

Austrian Kaiserjaegers used stilettos as well bayonets in flerce hand-to-hand fighting. Several detachments of Alpini held Monte Castelgomberto against over- whelming odds until surrounded. Thus encircled, they made repeated charges, but the heavy surrounding lines held and the entire party was still on the mountain when the re- mainder of the Italian line fell back. The extent of the enemy reserves is shown by their concentration in the average amount of a division for every two-thirds of a mile. French Official.

Under the provisions of interna- tional law the American could take no action while the case was before the courts. It is an ele- mentary rule that the forms of a trial must be gone through without inter- ference from any source. If, when the sentence has been rendered, it appears that there has been a denial of justice, the case may be taken up diplomatically, with a view to secur- ing real justice. Thus in the early stages of the case the American Min- ister was helpless to interfere. All that he could do while the case was before the courts was to watch the procedure carefully and be prepared with a full knowledge of the facts to see that a fair trial was granted. Sample of German Justice. Maitre de Leval communicate: with Mr. Braun, who said that he before the court on behalf of Miss Cavell, but had asked his friend and colleague, Mr. Kirschen, to take u the case. Maitre de Leval then com- runicated with Mr. Kirschen and learned from him that lawyers de- fending prisoners before German military courts were not allowed to see their clients before the trial and were shown none of the documents of the prosecution. It was thus man- ifestly impossible to prepare any de- fense save in the presence of tl.e court and during the progress of the trial. Maitre de Leval, who from the beginning to the end of the case showed a most serious an chivalrous concern for the welfar of the accused, then told Mr. Kirsch- en tat he would endeavor to be present at the trial in order to watch th ecase. Mr. harm Miss Cavell rather than help her; that the judges would resent the presence of a representative of the American legation. Although it seems unbelievable that any man of judicial mind would resent the pres- ence of another bent solely on watch- ing the course of justice, Mr. Kirsch- en’s advice was confirmed by other Belgian lawyers who had defended prisoners before the German military courts and spoke with the authority of experience. Mr. Kirschen prom- ised, however, to keep Maitre de Leval fully posted as to all the de- velopments of the case and the facts brought out in the course of the trial. The Nurse’s Signed atement. The trial began on Thursday, Oct. 7. and ended the following day. On Sunday afternoon the legation learned from persons who had been present at the trial some of the facts. It seems that Miss Cavell prosecuted for having helped En- Belgian young mer, to cross the frontier into Holland in order that they might get over to England. She had made a signed statement ad- mitting the truth of these charges and had further made public ac- knowledgment in court. ly admitted that not only had she helped soldiers to cross the frontier, but that some of them had written her from England thanking her for her assistance. This last admission made the case more serious for her because if it had been proven only that she had helped men to cross the frontier into Holland, she could have been sentenced only for violation of the passport regulations, and not ‘for the “crime” of assisting soldiers to reach a country at war with Ger- many. Miss Cavell was tried under para- ph 58 of the German military code, Which us: Any person who, with the in- ‘tention of aiding the hostile Power or causing harm to Ger- man or allied troops, is guilty of one of the crimes of paragraph 90 of the German penal code, will be sentenced: to death for treason. The “crime” retieret to by para- igraph 90 was that of “conducting soldiers to the enemy” (viz.: dem ee" Mannschaften zufuhrt).

This desirable residence stands one foot above water level, commanding an Excellent shooting (snipe and duck). Particulars of strained reading of the provisions of military law; that a false interpre- tation was wilfully put upon these prov isions in order to secure a con- viction. This law was obviously framed to cover the- case. of those who assist stragglers or lost soldiers to get back to their own lines and join their units. It.is.doubtful wheth- er the framers.of the military law had foreseen anything so indirect in the hope that they might their way back through two other countries to their own army. Miss Cavell assisted these soldiers to es- cape into a neutral country which was bound, if possible, to apprehend and intern them. If these soldiers succeeded in outwitting the Dutch authorities and making their way to England, their success would not, to any . fair-minded person, increase the offense commit- ted by Miss Cavell. Miss Cavell’s conduct before the Court was marked by the greatest frankness and courage. She stated that she had assisted these men to escape into Hiolland because she thought that if she had not done so they would have been seized and shot by the Germans; helping to save their lives. The Military Prosecutor that while this argument might ra made concerning English soldiers, could not apply to Belgians, winds were free to remain in the countr; without danger. The subsequent b>- havior of the German authorities to the Belgian voung men who re- mained in the country does not lend any considerable weight to the re- marks of the Public Prosecutor. In concluding his plea, the Public Prosecutor asked that the Court pars the sentence of death upon Miss Cavell ana eight other prisoners among the 35 brought to trial. Upon ascertaining these facts, Maitre de Leval called at the Politi- cal Department and asked that, the trial having taken place, permission be granted him to see Miss Cavell in person, as there could be no further objection to consultation. Herr Con- rad. an official gf the Political De- partment, who received Maitre de Leval, stated that he would make inquiry of the Court and communi- cate with him later.

He manifested some surprise, not to say annoyance, that we should give cred- ence to any report in regard to the case which did not come from his de- partment, that being the only official channel. Leval and I insisted, how- ever, that we had reasen to believe our reports were correct and urged him to make inquiries. He then tried to find out the exact source of our information and became painfully in- sistent. I did not propose, however, to enlighten him on this point and said that I did not feel at liberty to di- vulge our source of information. Lancken then became persuasive— said that it was most improbable that into effect within so short a time, and that in any event all Government impossible for him to take any action ‘i before morning. He suggested that we all go home “reasonably,” sleep quietly, and come back in the morn- ing to talk about the case. It was very clear that if the facts were as morning would be too late, and we pressed him for immediate inquiry, I had to be rather insistent on this point, and De Leval, in his anxiety, became so emphatic that I feared he might bring down the wrath of the Germans on his own head, and tried to quiet him. There was something splendid about the way De Leval, a Belgian with nothing to, gain and everything to lose, stood up for what he believed to be right and chival- rous, regardless of consequences to himséif. Finally, Lancken agreed to inquire ne to the facts, telephoned from his office to the presiding Judge of the courtmartial and returned in a short time to say that sentence had indeed been passed and that Miss Cavell was to be shot during the night. Plea for Clemency Resented. We then presented with all the earnestness at our command the plea for clemency. We pointed out to Lancken that Miss Cavell's offenses were a matter of the past: that she had been in prison for some weeks, thus effectually ending her power for harm; that there was nothing to be gained by shooting her, and on the contrary this would do Germany much more harm than good and En- giand much more good than harm. We pointed out to him that the whole case was a very bad one from Ger- many’s point of view: that the sen- tence of death had heretofore been imposed anly for cases of espionage, that Miss Cavell was not even accused by the German authorities of any- thing so serious. We reminded him that Miss Cavell, as directress of a large nursing home, had, since the beginning of the war, cgred for large numbers of German soldiers in a way that should make her life sacred to them. I further called his atten- tion to the manifest failure of the Folitical Department to comply with its repeated promises to keep us in- formed as to the progress of the trial and the passing of the sentence. The deliberate policy of subterfuge and prevarication by which they had sought to deceive us, as to the prog- ress of the case, was so raw as to require little comment. We all point- ed out to Lancken the horror of shooting a woman, no matter what her offense, and endeavored to im press upon him the frightful effect 2 offices were closed and that it was we believed them to be the next Germany infinite harm. ed him of the burning Py and the sinking of the 1 told him that this murder would rank at this with the rather Cavell shot than have harm come to the humblest German soldier, and “three or four old English women to shoot.” The Spanish Minister and I tried to prevail upon Lancken to call Great Headquarters at Charleville on the telephone and have the case laid be- fore the Emperor for h decision. Lancken stiffened perceptibly at this suggestion and refused, frankly, say- ing that he could not do anything of the sort. Turning to Villalobar, he said, “I can’t do that sort of thing. I am not a friend of my sovereign as you are of yours,” to which a te- joinder was made that in order to be a good friend, one must be loyal and ready to incur displeasure in case of need. However, our argu- ments along this line came to noth- ing, but Lancken finally came to the int of saying tha“ the Military Gov- ernor of Brussels was the supreme authority (Gerichisherr) in matters of this sort and tNat even the Gov- ernor-General had no power to in- tervene. After further argument he agreed to get Gen. von Sauber- schweig, the Military Governor, out of bed to learn whether he had al- ready ratified the sentence and whether there was any chance for clemency. Lancken was gone about half an hour, during which time the three of us labored with Harrach and Falxen- hausen, without, I am sorry to say, the slightest success. When Lancken returned he reported that the Mili- tary Governor said that he had acted in this case only after mature de- liberation; that the circumstances of Miss Cavell’s offense were of such character that he considered infliction of the death penalty imperative. Lancken kur- ther explained that under the pro- visions of German military law, the Gerichtsherr had discretionary pow- er to accept or to refuse to accept an appeal for clemency; that in this case mark that he would 8 see Miss his only regret was that they had not to accept the note, and 1 — Be: took it back. Despite Lancken's very ; 1 paw * statements as to the futility of our. errand, we continued to appeal to every sentiment to secure delay time for reconsideration of the case.

Harry Lauder had only one boy, and he has given him up that liberty might live. He was on his way in an automobile to see the place where they had buried him—he stopped to ex- amine the spire of a church that had been wrecked by a German shell. While he lingered, a bunch of soldiers marched by, dusty and tired marehing on into the land beyond. Lauder consented to sing for them. When he began his song his audience numbered about two hundred—when he had ànished feur thousand soldiers cheered him. They went up the Bapaume road—the car stopped, Lauder clambered up the embankment and awav over the shell-torn field of Courcelette—climbed a ridge.

General Criticism by C. E. Smith. Before the committee reached its decision to seek “additional assist- ance,” C. E. Smith, consulting en- gineer for the Department of Public Utilities, criticized Delos F. Wilcox, a New York franchise expert, dis- paraged the work of the former City Public Service Commission, which made a valuation of the United Rail- ways in 1911, declared that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment (Mayor Kiel, Comptroller Nolte and President Aloe of the Board of Al- dermen) had got cold feet” as soon as ordinance No. 1 (the first “settle-- ment’? proposed) was drawn, and described ordinance No, 2, the sec- ond effort at a “‘compromise,”’ as a „mistake.“ As soon as Chairman Schwartz suggested that the committee should [ask for ‘additional agsistance,” that ferred in questioning Smith as to their. effect. _ Commends Ordinance No. 1. If Ordinance No. 1 were adopted. Smith said, it would give results bet- ter than were obtained in Cleveland. He said St. Louis has better street car service than many cities, includ- ing Kansas City, which several years ago adopted a modern“ franchise. “The State Public Service Com- mission has prescribed for St. Louls a service that is more rigid than any elsewhere in this country,” Smith said. “Ordinance No. 1 would have given us a board of control with authority to require service up tc the point where the United Rail- ways would have earned less than 6 per cent.“ “But Mayor Kiel told us he would veto that bill if we passed it,“ Chairman Schwartz interposed. 1 don’t know why the Board of Estimates and Apportionment ‘got cold feet.’ I won't tell you why jordinance No. 1 was shot, but when the newspapers began their agita- tion, every one ran away from that bill.“ ways “has money and is making money,” but is saving all it can to meet obligations due next June. Al- derman Schrantz, a member of the committee, interrupted Smith t complain that he had to wait 2 minutes one evening last week whi seven cars passed him on their way to the shed. The United Railways needs 200 or 800 additional cars. Many lines are without adequate service, These cars would cost $10,000 each under present conditions. Chicago and Kansas City companies have bought hundreds of new cars since the ‘set- tlements’ were made between these cities and the street railway corpora- tions. My prediction is that St. Louis will get more cars, too, if we end this controversy.’’ Contradiction Is Apparent. Smith’s statement concerning the State Board’s rigid specification for service on the lines of the Unit- ed Railways and his subsequent ad- mission that the company needs 200 or 300 additional cars seemed to in- volve a contradiction. The United Railways admitted on Nov. 10 that on several of its lines the State cars had been Fiolated. “We knew for a year what. the United Railw ‘play’ was going to be and we aalen all the best fran- chises in the epuntry.”” Smith said. This statement was rogarded as interesting in view of the fact that no other city official ever intimat- ed, prior to Ogtober. 1916, that the United Railways was going to pro pose a “compromise” of the mill ax and request a new franchise. On the subject of the valuation of the United Railways established by the former City Public Service Com- mission, Smith said: “The City Commission’s valuation was largely office work. Three val- uations were mate by the commis- sion for $110,000. Proper detail work could not have been done in that time and for that expenditure. Valuation is important, for there 18 no sense in putting obligations on the company unless the water is syueezed from its capitalization. The valuation should be reduced to a4 minimum,” é . “Can the United Railways reor- ganize on a basis of $50,000,000 cap- italization ?”’ Chairman Schwartz aked Smith. Smith replied. , Smith said that he and James E. Alltson, chief engineer of the former City Commission, would “both. be disqualified” if a new valuation of the United Railways were made. “It is human nature that he would lean toward what he did in 1911. and I would lean toward what I did in 1917,” Smith said. “A new val- uation is a problem for an outsider.” Chairman Schwartz frequently re- assured Smith that the committee was not blaming him for the “pres- ent situation,” but Smith did not ap- pear to be wholly disabused of the notion that he was being selected asa “goat.” Schwartz Refers to Banners. “They come up to the city hall with banners inscribed, ‘How Mych Did Schwartz Get?’ and I certainly don’t like that,” Chairman Schwartz said, referring to signs carried by persons at the recent mass meeting protesting against the passage of the pending bill, “We will have to restore public confidence, and additional assistance will be necessary for that,” Alder- man Reis said. The committee then voted unani- @eploy “additional assistance” in draft- ing a new bill contemplating a com- promise“ between the city and the _ . Sunited Railways will be requested of the Board of Aldermen by the alder- nic Public Utilities Committee this noon, Alderman Reis, a mem- of the committee, said that ex- advice from “outsiders” would necessary to “restore public con- n Smith said that the United Rail-'board’s orders requiring additional Not —— a receivership,” I mously to prepare and submit a res- ing a new “compromise,” Engineer : rad Smith began his statement. . “Tam going to explain this matter and then you can kick me out if you want,” Smith said. “Tl always have thought that Ordi- nance No.’ 2 was a mistake. It was a revenue measure. Ordinance No. 1 was better. It would have pro- duced a surplus of $360,000 a year automatically.

Con- tribution lists will be conveniently javailable to any who may wish to “drop in“ and make a donation to help the Festival Association give the poor children of the city their“ Christmas as usual, in spite of the war. Contributions will be especially needed this year and the smallest will help. The first contributions to be re- ceived at headquarters came in be- fore the quarters were formally opened and while they still were being equipped and made ready for use. Two West End women who were passing were attracted by ‘the large signs in the windows and en- tered. They were Mrs. A. Sullivan and Mrs. J. E. Erskins of 5875 Gar- field avenue. After they had ir spected the headquarters, had been shown how the young women already et work make ready the bundles of contribution lists which other young women will distribute next week in thousands of offices and business places, and had recetved an explana- tion of the interesting way in whict: these lists are followed up and han- dled otherwise, they said they wished to leave small contributions, which they would make larger later; to help give the poor children their Christ- mas. They donated 25 cents each.

Don't try to answer that at home. Go where Columbia Grafonolas are sold and look at one model after an- other until you have seen the entire Ime... They are all exhibited for your inspection. They Il be. played for you. The Grafonola is a musical instru- ment. To know it you must see it, hear it, and play it. In no other way can the Columbia be judged. To ask you to hear the Grafonola isn’t that the surest way of proving its tone qualities? To ask you to see it isn't that better than praising its beauty? 4 To invite you to compare Columbia Grafonolas with other phonographs you have seen and heard - isn't that more convincing than repeated state- ments that it is the best’’? From 518 to 5250, with models be- tween these extremes at prices that rep- resent splendid value, affords a range for choice that is all you can desire. Those who have already bought Columbia Grafonolas have done so with the complete and comforting as- surance that they have chosen the right instrument.

The exclusive taxicab privilege at Union Station brings in a measure of more than $50,000 a year. This fact was brought out yesterday after- noon at a hearing before the Mis- sourl Public Service Commission of the complaint of the Yellow Taxicab Co., and the Travelers’ Protective Association against the retention of the exclusive rights by the St. Louis Transfer Co., which sublet the priv- llege to the Marshall Bros. Livery Co. on Jan. 1, 1916. John D. Marshall, president of the Marshall Bros. company, testified that in 23 months he has paid $14,- 837.85, or 15 per cent of the gross re- ceipts from outgoing business to the St. Louis Transfer Co. for the sole right to solicit passengers in the con- course of the station. The complainants ask that all re- liable taxicab companies be given an equal chance to obtain business in the station. The St. Louis Transfer Co., which was represented by Thomas Plerce and Randolph Laughlin, contend that the concourse is the private property of the Terminal Railroad Association, and that it has the right f to lease the taxicab privileges to casi company, under Supreme Court de- cisions, Testifies as to Charges. Marshall said his charged 50 cents per person from the station to Hotel Jefferson. When asked if the Yellow Taxicab Co. “s rate for the same trip for four per- sons was only 95 cents, he replied he did not know. R. A. Knapp of Ironton, Mo., head of the Grievance Committee of the United Commercial Travelers, relat- ed that the organization had 3000 members in this State, all of whom had been complaining for several years about the service at Union Station. He said he was only inter- ested in getting cheaper rates for the traveling public. E. P. Lampkin, a national director of the Travelers’ Protective Associa- tion, testified that he had been un- able to hire any taxicab.at Union Station, other than those belonging to Marshall Brothers. He suggested that all campanies, that sould give bond, should share equally in the privilege, to the end that rates might be lowered. , i 1 Buy Your Mises Gifts N » the 222 Foo ind you e our credit 375 good Here are but a few of the many money-savin values that we can offer you Regime’ ape — on the second floor, where our operating ex- pense is low.

William Wallace, manager of the Yellow Taxicab Co., told of his ef- forts to get a stand at Union Station. His company now has machines at the Twentieth street entrance of the station, he said, but strangers have no way of knowing this. Ushers at the station, he related, arg instruct- ed to direct passengers to the Mar- shall Bros, taxicabs. —~ George. Tansey, president of the St. Louis Transfer Co., testified that “a free fight detrimental to aif’ would follow if the taxicab privt- leges were given to more than one company. Barney Frauenthan, gen eral passenger agent for the Termi- nal Ratiroad Association, said that the practice of leasing the taxicab stand to one company was in vogue in all large cities.

The reason for this apparent ab- sence of the war spirit, as I see it. is that the navy, at least that part of it with which I came into inti- mate contact, is organized on a basis that can be summed up briefly as strictly business. The Fifth Naval the Pablo knew little or nothing, was unthinkable. They had to be chartered or commandeered: They are in service now protecting and patroling our coasts. One of the principal endeavors of the Fifth Naval District is to co-or- Ginate and unify all means of com- munication between one point and another and to handle transportation in the district in order to prevent delays.

In the army camps that I have visited the war spirit has been strongly in evidence. The soldiers seem to be fired by it... But in all of my time in the naval places on land and sea and among all of the men with whom I talked I did not hear the war men- tioned. The deflection of Russia, the Italian reverses, Gen. Byn’s advance, the capture of a U-boat crew by American destroyers—the enlisted men do not know of these things. When you tell them about them they express pleasure or concern, as the 405 8 - 9 .

A small man in build, elderly, gray, with deep lines in his face; but rugged, like the strong men of the sea and a man given to long silences, to brief remarks, but those who work under his direction know that he has the business. of the entire district at his finger tips. Since last April untold thousands of men have been taken from the or- dinary affairs of daily life, brought into the training camps of the Fifth Naval District and quickly made ready for active naval service. There are college professors scrubbing the decks of fish boats, sons of million- aires passing coal on battleships, and there are ditch diggers and farm hands working with them side by side. It has been the policy r Admiral McLean to try to. benefit the more Hkely young men who enter the service. They are given special in- struction that will eventuate in their receiving temporary officers’ com- missions. Aim to Unify Communications. The training of the men has been almost entirely practical. There are scholastic courses, but more atten- ‘tion is given to actual work than to books. The men have been put on patrol boats and they have seen active duty on inside and outside waters. They have been put on big battleships and on torpedo boat do- stroyers, and some of them have more than once erossed the Atlantic in the pathway of the U-boats.

A sausage THE SANDMAN STORY FOR TONIGHT SY MRs, N A. WALKER. The Tiger and the Prince. Part | | “O NCE there lived a wicked witch in a cave in a for- est. There were two big | trees by the door of her cave, anda | when anyone entered the forest they : swayed and moaned, bending low to tell the witch of the traveler’s ap- | proach, | If it happened to be a Prince or | the King who was hunting, the old | witch begged for gold, but if it were poor peasants who had not gold to give the old witch would be so angry that she would change them into rocks. In the peasant village the men grew scarcer and scarcer until there came a time when only the yourg women were left. “We all shall de old matds if something is not done to bring back : the men,” said the peasant girls one day. “What snail we do? There is no one to send to hunt for them: the old men are too old and the children | too young.” “I will find out what has happeend to them, or at least I will try,” said one peasant girl, who was braver than the others and whose brother was the last to disappear. | All the peasant girls went with Nina to the edge of the forest, but not one offered to go with her. All day she walked without seeing any beasts or hearing a sound but the birds chirping in the trees, and at night she curled up beside a rock and went to sleep. In the morning when Nina awoke she saw a beautiful pool of clear water near by, and taking off her clothes she plunged in. Luckily she dipped her head as well as her body into the clear wa- ter. as you will see later. | When Nina had dressed and eaten ' berries frbm the bushes for her | breakfast she continued her journey | through the forest, and by and by tze came to the cave of the old | witch. af old witch was sitting by her door, for the tall trees had whispered to her that a stranger had entered, and the greedy old witch was hoping to get more gold. When she saw poor little Nina she | gave a scream of rage, for she knew no gold would she get from a poor | peasant girl. | Waving her cane over her head the old witch cried: Now on thee shall this spell fall. Thou shalt ever be feared by all, Till a lover shall kiss your brow: For a tiger thou art now. The old witch stopped her raving and looked at her, and then gave another scream, but this time it was of fear. The pool!” she cried. “She has bathed in the pool.“ “But you will always wear the t- ger skin, my pretty; that will cling to you, and no lover will kiss your brow. So my spell will work after all.“ Nina looked at her body and found that it was covered with the skin ot a tiger, although her face and hands and feet were the same as de- fore she wore the skin of the tiger like a garment. Not knowing what else to do, poor little Nina began to run. On and oa she went, when all at once she heard the tramping of horses’ feet, and suddenly there came through the forest a party of hunters. Before Nina could conceal herself one of the party fired a shot at her, thinking, of course, she was a tiger, and Nima with a moan of pain fell to the ground. Tomorrow I will tell you how Nina was rescued. (Continued Tomorrow.) Copyright, 1917, by the McClure News- 0 caper Syndicate, New York City.)

' 1 1 1 with it. — — P 5 a N an amusing satire, in which he throws a thousand fantastic lights upon the relationship be- tween parents and children, George Bernard Shaw makes the father in the play declare that the time will come when no child will know who its parents are, and no parents will know their own children. Then, he says, there will be a chance for par- ents and children to be friends when As it is now there is a wall 10 feet thick between them that neither can break. through. Of course the Shavian point of view is always a humorously exaggerat- ed one, but it is true that between most parents and children there is a wall 10 feet thick that they can neither break through nor climb over, and if most fathers and moth- ers and children would tell the truth they would admit that there is no- body else on earth with whom they feel so little acquainted as with those who are flesh of their flesh and bone of their bone. What is this bar that so tragically separates parents and children and so often makes any real intimacy or companionship between them impos- sible? It isn’t a matter of lack of affec- tion or of neglect on the parents’ part, because you see this want of companionship just as often in households where the parents have sacrificed themselves for their chil- dren and slaved for them as you do in the households where the children have been brought up by nurses and governesses and tutors. Indeed, the wail, My children never tell me anything; I am not in their confi- dence,” is never so bitter as from the lips of parents who have literal- ly worshipped their offspring. It is not a matter of disparity of age. Father is on chummy terms with half a dozen boys the age of his own son, who are in his office. He can joke with them and tell them stories and discuss with them every topic from a batting record to the temptations that lie in wait for every young man. But when he is left alone for half an hour with his own boy they haven’t a word to say to each other, and are embarrassed and ill at ease, and one or the other makes a sneak of it at the first op- portunity. daughter never tells her any of the shy little secrets of her heart, and what the boy who brought her home from the dancing class said to her or she said to him. She bab- bles these confidences fast enough T isn’t because mother is old that to some other woman, mother’s age, on whom she has a school-girl crush. Nor is it because mother is so much older than daughter that she can- not bring herself to talk to daughter about the things that every mother should tell a girl. Mother can dis- cuss the most intimate problems of womanhood with every other girl ex- cept her own. What, then, is this mysterious wall made of that so tragically and ter- ribly separates parents and children? I think that it is made of the ada- mantine, colossal self-conceit of pa- rents. The vanity of parents makes them pose before their children as ora- cles and little tin gods, and while you may reverence and even ab- stractly love a superior being, you can’t possibly pal with one. You haven’t any tie of human kinship You haven't the nerve to even expect one who has always been perfect, and never made mistakes or had silly yearnings for foolish things to sympathize with your own faults and weaknesses. It is because parents put them- selves up on self-erected pedestals in- ——— AE Oo a ee Be DOROTHY > DIX SAYS A eh ON LO stead of staying down on the ground where their children are that there is so little companionship between them. It is a pathetic and a curious fact that human egotism finds its ultimate expression in parenthood. The first thing that fathers and mothers do when a child is born is to explore the poor little red countenance for a trace of their own lineaments, and they are overjoyed when they find out that they have wished on the unfor- tunate little creature their own nose, or mouth, or eyes, or chin, regardless of how ugly the features may be. Then they are determined to domi- nate their child's life, to mold its opinions, decide its destiny, no matter even if their own lives have been fail- ures that showed that they lacked in- telligence and judgment. Other peo- ple may think me dull and stupid and a poor manager, says the father or mother inwardly, but I am deter- mined that my child shall admire me und reverance me as an oracle. Therefore father assumes the atti- tude of one who has always been a model of all the virtues and who has never for an instant strayed from the ttraight and narrow path. He might time he has been one of the boys, but he never comes down from his high plane with his own boy and tells him that he, tom * self many. a ti - nretty face, and drunk too much, and lost money that he couldn't afford in a poker game. And the price he pays for his self- righteous hyporr'-v „ his boy’s con- 'f. dence, because the boy, aware of his own frailties, feels that he has got nothing in common with this super- man who is his father, and dares not tell of his own skidding from the high road. ND the girl meets the same dif - A ficulty with mother. Mother also feels it necessary to wrap ferself in angel robes and pretend that she never flirted or made eyes at a man, or let anvbody kiss her or hold her hand, or did anything but sit up prim and proper in the bright light, close by her chaperon’s side. Mama is so good. she wouldn't un- derstand, says the girl to herself, and so she carefully hides from moth- er all of her foolish little love af- fairs, and finds it more impossible to tell mother the things she really thinks and feels than she would to confide them to any other woman on earth. Another bar between parents and children is the incredible conceit that makes parents think their way the only way, and that they have a right to make their children follow their scheme of life, no matter what the child’s own inclinations and talents. are. Whenever you hear a man speak of his son as an ungrateful young dog who has no appreciation of the sacrifices a parent makes, in nine cases out of ten you will find that the boy has merely refused to be clay in the hands of the paternal father and has asserted his own right to live his own life. broken my heart,” a father will de- clare. “I had built up this big gro- cery business for him and he sim- ply turned his back on it and studied medicine.

The discrepancy between the teams in favor of Minnesota seems to be more correctly shown the subsequent games of the two defeated. which Minnesota Taking the two points above men- tioned into consideration, it seems fairly established that the Minnesota- Wisconsin game was misleading. This puts it up to the other scores men- tioned above, which show that Min- nesota has the better attacking team and ig equal to or better than Ohio State defensively. As a matter of fact, not shown in the scores, Minne- sota has a team of stalwarts defens- ively superior to any in the West. - * * URTHERMORE, the running ac- count of the IIlinois-Minnesota game establishes facts which make it seem that the Géphers were at least 12 points better than the score indicates.

Any quintets wishing to roll on that date should notify Dennis J. Sweeny, 119 Gay Building, secretary of the loca! association. Plans were to be made at yester- day’s gathering in regards to the bid- ding for the next A. B. C. tournament. However, with the small attendance nothing was done, and another meet- ing has been called for midnight next Monday at Peterson's alleys. If the alley owners fail to co-operate with the other officials there will be lit- tle chance of St. Louis landing the event next year. Five teams are already pledged for Feb. 21 and will make the trip regardless to whether St. Louis bids for the tournament or not. The men will roll their five-man events on Feb. 21 and the doubles and singles the following day. Should 16 quintets make the trip, there would be more than 80 bowlers in Cincinnati, which would help a lot at the annual meeting scheduled for Washington's birthday. St. Louis is entitled to 40 votes at the A. B. C. meeting, one for each 10 teams in the city association. Unless at least 25 owners attend next Monday's meeting it is thought useless to make any attempt to land the tournament. Chicago Well to Front. According ta reports, Chicago will be represented at the A. B. C. event by something like 80 teams. At least this is the goal, which the Windy City officials are striving for at present. It this many quintets attend, Chicago will have the largest entry of any city, outside of Cincinnati it- self. And its a cinch that Chicago, as in past seasons, will cop its share of the prize money.

St. Louis is to have another dog show for the first time in almost two years, if plans now under way attain success. The affair will be staged in connection with the poultry exhibi- tion of the St. Louis Poultry Associa- tion, which is scheduled at the Coli- seum, Dec. 31 to Jan. 5. | The bench show will be purely an in- formal event. So far as is known, the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club, the only local organization of breeders and owners has no connection with it, but some of the exhibitors are like- The | ly to be members of that body. M. V. Kennel Club was held in the First Regiment Armory a year ago last March. Officials of the poultry organiza- | tion have requested dog breeders to exhibit their stock in conjunction with the Coliseum event and have donated space for them. The request was made through T. E. Donlin, of 1502 Chestnut street. He is foster- ing the move for a canine exhibition and has called a meeting of all breed- ers and fanciers who may be inter- the above address at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. According to "onlin, present pros- ects point to least 25 varities be- ng in the show. It is hoped to have 100 entries by the time the show opens, The exact date of the opening and the length of time it will continue has not been determined, but will be decided upon at the meeting Sunday. — NET 7“ R IS SUSPENDED. .

The offering brought out a considerable number of bids, averaging, perhaps, about a 5 per cent basis for the notes. The award was made on a basis of 5.06 per cent of ra small amount, with the bal- ance going to bidders who offered to take the warrants at a lower yield. “Despite the large demand for long- term funds on the Part of the Gov- ernment, each offering of A short ma- turity, such as this, has demonstrated the existence of an ample amount of money seeking investment for a eo which will permit repayment efore any drastic changes can have taken pace in the position of the se- curity markets. “The situation is from the fact that tions, loaded with Government and private business, are increasingly feeling the need of funds to tide them over to the completion of their con- tracts.

Western roads are dered to give special at- movement of issued This-order was afternoon as pos- be kept at t to ted to act as an evener on the market. There was practically no outside trade in the corn market today, but prices were slightly lower on all op- tions. Both grains were influenced by em- bargoes on shipments east of Chicago after Dec. 10, and efforts of the Food Administration to increase car service from the Farms. The Liverpoor wheat undertone was easy, with the general market dull. Stocks of foreign wheat at all United Kingdom ports increasing and floating quantity fully main tained. Corn firm, influenced by the continued scarcity and nearness of spot and strength in America. Con- tinental demand good and their bids are in excess of United Kingdom, with cargoes arriving at other ports being diverted. Oats firm, with ad- vancing American markets and few- er export offers. Cash very firm. The Modern Miller says in the far Southwest seeding is about finished. In sections of Oklahoma, Western Kansas and parts of Texas rains have fallen, but additional moisture is necessary. In the South winter wheat States the crop is thin on the ground and in Ohio, Indiana, Ken- tucky and Tennessee the crop. is weak and likely to suffer winter killing. Farmers delivery of wheat has fallen off in nearly all sections. Government is hurrying cars to gave corn out of condition. Northwest cars: Last Last Today. Week.
