The Western cold wave is advancing east- ward rather slowly, and this morning the line of zero temperature had reached only the west front of the Appalachian Mountains. It extended as far south as Tennessee. Freezing temperatures were reported on the east gulf coast and in North and Central Florida. In the South the weather will be- gin to moderate Tuesday and the temperature will reach normal by the middle of the week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Right of employers to prevent labor unions from soliciting nonunion employes to join the labor organizations was up- held today by the Supreme Court by a divided vote of six to three in test cases against the United Mine Work- ers of America and the American Flint Glass Workers’ Union. Methods of the labor organfzation, in attempting to unionize the “open- shop” workmen and bring about strikes were declared “unlawful and malicious.“ Injunctions, previously given by Federal Judge Dayton in West Virginia to prevent the union activities, were sustained. The Court admftted the right of workmen to organize into unions for lawful methods, but held that the employers, the Hitchman Coal and Coke Co. and the Eagle Glass Manu- facturing Co. of West Virginia, were entitled to operate their plants open shop” and to protection, and injunc- tions against the labor union were ordered for that purpose. Three Justices Dissent. Justices Brandeis, Holmes Clarke dissented. “The Supreme Court holds,” the majority opinion held, that the plaintiff was acting within its law- ful rights in employing its men upon the terms that they should not be members of the United Mine Work- ers; that, having established this working agreement between it and and its employes with the free assent of the latter, the plaintiff is entitled to be protected in the enjoyment of the resulting status as in any other legal right; that the fact that the 3 was terminable by either rty ‘at Hn, time” made no difference since the right of the em- ployes to strike or to leave the work gave no right to defendants to inves- tigate a strike; that plaintiff was and its entitled to the good will of its employes precisely as a merchani is entitled to the good will of his cus- tomers, although they are under no obligation to deal with him; that the value of the relation lies in the rea- sonable probability that by properly treating its employes and paying them fair wages and avofding rea- sonable grounds of complaint, plain- tiff will be able to retain them in its employ, and to fill vacancies occur- ring from time te time by the em- ployment of other men on the same terms, and that defendants could not be permitted to interfere with these rights without some just cause or excuse. Right to Organize Upheld. “By way of justification or excuse defendants set up the right of work- ingmen to form unions and to en- large their membership by inviting other workingmen to join. The opin- ion of the Court freely concedes this right, provided the objects of the union be proper and legitimate, which is assumed to be true, in a general sense, with respect to the United Mine Workers ef America. “But the Court holds that it is er- roneous to assume that this right is so absolute that it may be exercised under any circumstances and without any qualification; that, in truth, like other rights that exist in civilized society, it must always be exercised with reasonable regard for the con- flicting rights of others, according to the fundamental maxim ‘So use your property as not to injure the rights of another.’ “Hence, assuming that the de- endants were exercising the right te invite men to joi ntheir union, nevertheless, since they had notice that plaintiff's mine was run non- union, that none of the men had a right to remain at work there after joining the union, and that the ob- servance of this agreement was of much importance and value both to plaintiff and to its men who had vol- untarily made the agreement and de- sired to continue working under it, the defendants were under a duty to exerecise care to refrain from un- necessarily injuring plaintiff; yet they deliberately and advisedly se- lected that method of enlarging the union membership which would in- flict injury upon plaintiff and its loyal employes, by persuading man after min to join the union and hav- ing done so, to remain at work, keep- ing the employer in ignorance of their number and identity, until so many should have joined that by stopping work in a body they could coerce the employer and the remain- ing miners to organize the mine; amd that the conduct of defendants in so doing was unlawful and ma- licious. * Membership Not Only Motive. ~ “But the Court further holds that what the defendants were endeay- oring to do at the Hitchman mine and neighboring. mines was not a bona fide effort to enlarge the mem- bership of the union, since the new members were not desired or sought Continued on Page 3, Column 5, months ago, for a full report on the case successfully, he replied that aid 25 e f e that he BANKERS’ TRUST CASE D BY GOVERNMENT John E. Franklin and Charles S. Marsh Were Indicted on Charges of Fraud. ORDER FROM WASHINGTON District Attorney Says Neben- mendations Were Made to At- torney-General’s Office. The case of the United States Gov- ernment against John E. Franklin and Charles S. Marsh, president and secretary of the defunct Bankers’ Trust Co., who were indicted cn charges of using the mails to further a scheme to defraud, in the promo- tion of the trust company, was dis- missed by the Government this morning in the United States District Court. The case was called Oct. 31 last, but was continued until today be- cause of the illness of an essential witness for the State. This witnes:, it was stated, was the bullder of the San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf Kall road, in which the assets of the Bankers’ Trust Co. were largely la- vested. At the time this continuance was granted, District Attorney Oliver stated that he would oppose any fur- ther continuance, and would demand that the case go to trial today. Order From Washington. When the case was called this morning, District Attorney Oliver announced to the Court that the dis- missal of the proceeding had been ordered by the Department of Jus- tice in Washington. The order of dismisal was then entered. When Oliver was asked by a Post- Dispatch reporter as to the reason for the dismissal of the case, he said that he was requested, three or four case, with his recommendations. He would not say, in detail. what the report and recommendations were. but when the reporter asked him whether he reported that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute the | “Evidence Sufficient.” “If I had not thought the evidence sufficient,” he commented, “the in- dictment would never have been vot- ed.” “I knew,” he 6 “that sev- eral persons had interested them selves in the case in Washington. The first I knew, as to the conclu- sions reached in Washington, came in the order for the dismissal of the case. Oliver was Franklin's attorney be- fore the collapse of the company, and represented Franklin for a tims after his appointment to the office of District Attorney. The Post-Dispatch, Oct. 19 last, printed a news story stating that powerful political influences, work- ing through Congressmen from Mis- souri, Texas and Colorado, had been endeavoring to obtain an order from the Department of Justice for the dismissal of the Franklin-Marsh prosecutions. . Franklin had many friends in political life, particularly in Texas. The prosecution was based on evi- dence obtained by Monte Price, a United States Postoffice Inspector in the St. Louis district. It was learned, at the time of the continu- ance of the case in October, that Price had been requested, by his su- péeriors in the Postoffice Department, for his opinion as to the strength of the case against Franklin and Marsh. Price’s Ce#einion. Price repliea, he said to a Post- Dispatch reporter at that time, with a letter to the Postmaster-General, in which he said that, if borrowing money to pay dividends was not a “scheme to defraud,” then he had been mistaken in his conception of the case. The principal charges against Franklin and Marsh were that they paid dividends which were not justi- fied by the earnings of the company, and that the Texas railroad property was carried on the company’s books at a fictitious valuation. Thomas B. Harvey, attorney for Franklin and Marsh, said, after the dismissal of the case, that he had submitted a full statement of the case, including an audit of the com- pany’s books, to the Department of Justice, at Washington, and that he believed this statement had con- vinced the department that the charges could not be sustained. He said he did not believe political in- fluence had figured in the decision. Books Were Audited. The audit of the books: made by the accounting firm of Westermann & Trader, was made at the instance of Harry C. Morrow, a stockholder, who had been active in furthering the prosecution of the case. The au- adm, according to Harvey, showed that the company declared its divi- dends within its earnings, and that it had excess of earnings over dividends every year up to the fail- ure. As to the raflroad valuation, Har- vey said it was shown that the com- pany carried the railroad property on its books at not more than 80 per cent of the valuation fixed by the Texas State Railroad Commission. In support of this statement he cited Continued on Page 3, Column 6 es ities is — obe. BERLIN, via London, Dec. 10.— Military officials of the central Pow- ers have signed an armistice with the Russian and Rumaniaii armies on the Rumanian front between the Dniester River and the mouth of the Danube, the War Office officially an- nounced today. JASSW Rumania, Saturday, Dec. 8.—It is understood that an armis- tice for three months between the German and Rumanian: forces, tak- ing in also the Russians on the Ra- manian front, has been upon. All the conditions pro by the Rumanians were accepted by the Germans with the exception of one prohibiting the transfer of troops to other fronts, in regard to which ne- gotiattons are still being carried on with Field Marshal von Mackensen at Bucharest. On its arrival at Fokshani the joint Russo-Rumanian Commission, which is conducting the negotiations, was received cordially and dined by the Germans. 512 MEN OF 1200 NEEDED HERE FOR NAVY HAVE ENLISTED Draft Eligibles Will Not Be Allowed to Volunteer for Sea Duty After Next Saturday. The special navy recruiting cam- paign, which will close at noon next Saturday, after which registered men will not be free to enlist, resulted ‘n the enlistment up to last night at lie St. Louis office of 512 men, nearly half of the 1200 quota set for this district. Th final week started favorably this morning with the largest group ef applicants on hand of any morn- inj; during the campaign. At 10 a. m. there were about 100 men waiting to be examined. The recruiting office in the Calumet Building. Seventh and Chestnut streets, will be opened at 8:30 every morning this week. a half hour earlier than usual. A rally of women to encourage r cruiting will be held tomorrow night at the Victoria Theater. Delmar boulevard, near Grand avenue. Mrs. Theodore Benoist has charge of ir- rangements. The women will be asked to organize Urge-a-Man clubs to boost enligtments. Address- es will be made by Charles M. Hay, a lawyer: Joe Taylor, a member of the British es amie mission; For- CALLS FOR MUMICIPAL COAL EXCEED THE EARLY SUPPLY Because of the sudden drop in temperature the demand for coal at several of the municipal distributing stations today was in excess of the supply. This was especially true at Fourteenth and Carr streets, Twenty- third and Pine streets and Eleventh and Chestnut streets, where crowds sought to buy coal from the city at 16 cents a bushel. At the seven stations the total sales from 9 a. m. Friday to noon to- day were 120 tons, or $4890 worth. Provisions have been made for sell- ing eight tons a day at each station. Teaming difficulties because of the cold and the slippery condition of the streets lessened the supply at some stations this morning, but it was said this would be remedied later in the day. Public Welfare Director Schmoll said he probably would accept a proffer of the use of premises at 4068 West Belle place for a distributing station, as he understood negroes in a district north of this place had been forced to pay as high as 55 cents a bushel for coal by private dealers yesterday. An additional station also probably will be estab- lished at Kennerly and Cottage ave- nues.

ALLIED TROOPS ON FIGHTING LINE INNORTHERN ITALY 88 and British Veterans Take Over Important Points, Letting Italians Rest. By Associated Press. ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Dec. 9.—Allied reinforcements now have definitely taken their place on the actual Ital- lan front and are today occupying trenches in the battered positions ‘held by the Italian troops, now re- lieved for a needed respite. The British position is around the heights of Montello, on the Upper Piave, where the batteries on the heights are already in action and rifle fire answers the steady sniping from ‘across the river. The French position cannot as yet be indicated, but it is in an equally important sec- tor, The extent of the transfer is con- siderable. The Italian front, from the mouth of the Piave to the Swiss frontier, is about 150 miles. About one-third of this is inactive, but 100 miles of front along the Piave and the northern stretch is feeling the continuous pressure of the enemy forces. The Italians still guard con- siderable portions and are meeting the brunt of the attacks in the north. The battle of Asiago is virtually suspended, with the enemy checked in his main design of breaking through the Brenta Valley and the plains a few miles below. Yesterday a fleet of 150 airplanes, including Italian light and heavy squadrons, scattered more than 2000 bombs, which caused extensive dam- age in the northern sector, where supplies. Large fires marked the route of the raiders. British Official.

Off by Submarine Which Torpedoed American Craft. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Fur- ther reports from Vice Admiral Sims have begun to unfold the story of the torpedoing of the destroyer Jacob Jones, but do not fessen the toll of lives lost with the ship. Only 44 of 110 or more officers and men aboard are known to have survived, including one unidentified man picked up and carried off by the sub- marine that struck the blow. Yesterday’s reports added to the list of dead Ensign Stanton F. Kalk, a young officer whose name did not appear in the first roster. He died of exposure. The -dispatches gave no further details of the escape of the survivors, but they contained the names of 17 of the rescued in addi- tion to those announced last night. Secretary Daniels issued this state- ment: “Additional information received from- Vice Admiral Sims today re- veals the fact that the Jacob Jones was torpedoed at 4:12 p. m. on Dec. 6. She began to settle aft and final- ly sank at 4:29. The submarine was not seen until some time after the ship sank. The submarine then picked up one survivor, whose iden- tity is not known.

By LINCOLN EYRE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Dec. 10.—Evidence is fast accumulating that the Germans are preparing to launch on the French front an offensive on a scale far more vast than any attempted since the inception of trench warfare. Within the last 15 days the trea- son of the Maximalists in Russia has enabled the enemy to move divisions from the eastern to the western theater of operations. It is well understood that the Ger- man pressure will necessitate bring- ing into the line every available unit in the French army. With an ava- lanche of artillery composed of bat- teries brought from Russia and the guns captured in Italy hammering at the French lines, and tidal waves of shock troops engulfing French trenches, the situation might become grave. I am reliably informed that the French command already has re- marked an extraordinary concentra- tion of both artillery and infartry at many points behind the German lines. Alsace Forces Increased. Aerial observers have noticed a steady movement of troops coming into France both on trains and on roads. And reports from Switzer- land speak of railroads in the Rhine valley being barred to civilians and of an increase in the forces in Al- sace. In the region of Rheims patrol reconnaisance Nas established the presence oi divisions newly arrived from the eastern front. And. divi- sions also just shifted from Russia are being detected in the Argonne and Le Chaume-Bezonvaux sectors on the right bank of the Meuse. It is well known that 12 divisions, released by Russian defection, have been flung against the army of Gen. Byng before Cambrai. Gustav Herve writes in La Vic- toire about the probabilities of a great German drive on the west front as follows: “It will be our turn soon to face new cudgel blows like that which we tasted at Verdun in the end of Feb- ruary, 1916. It would be surprising, indeed, if the German great general staff, with the offensive spirit which it has been able to conserve, didn’t carry the dream of piercing our front, recommencing the attempts of 1914 against Paris and Calais. “Thanks to the ignoble treason of the Maximalists, here we are in the middle of the fourth year of the war obliged to stiffen ourselves in efforts similar to that we made in August and September, 1914. “Never shall we have more need in the rear of calm and sacred unity and the spirit of discipline than in the three coming months. Never will our brothers and our sons in the mously applauded. ’ The demand for an interallied gen- eralissimo is increasing. And there is no sign that this demand, iterated and reiterated in the French press, meets with the disapproval of the Premier. It is expected that M. Clemenceau will express himself fully on the general military situation in it. the Chamber of Deputies before long, and that he will lay emphasis on the assistance of America on the battlefields.

The audit showed that although the earnings of the company in eight years were only $680,000, div- idends of nearly $1,500,000 were paid. It showed that more than $5,000,- 000 of its assets were pledged for debts aggregating $1,513,397.85, many of the securities being bonds of the San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf Railroad, which the trust company built and which it was unable to sell. After the collapse Postoffice In- spectors, at the instigation of Mor- row, began an investigation, and in November, 1916, two indictments were returned against Franklin and Marsh, charging them with using the mails in a scheme to defraud, through the sending of letters and literature to prospective purchasere of stock containing false statements as to the condition of the company, and that the State National Bank of Little Rock, Ark., was defrauded by the deposit of worthless securities in financial transactions’ between the two banks. When the case was called in the United States District Court May 2, it was continued on the representa- tion of attorneys for the defendants that Franklin and Marsh were not in a financial condition properly to present their defense. It was reset for Oct. 31, when it was again con- tinued until today. Franklin is in Colorado Springs, where he is said to be living in com- fortable circumstances. The nucleus of his beginning of another fortune is said to have been $50,000 which he gave to his wife when he was in the height of his prosperity. Marsh is in Spokane, Wash., work- ing as a clerk.

As we sat in the midst of that kaleidoscopic picture formed of French, Belgian and English uni- fcrms, intermingled with the varied and gaudy robes of the local nymphs; as we mused in the midst of dense clouds of tobacco smoke, we could not help reflecting that this might be the last time we should look on such scenes of revelry, and came to the conclusion that the only thing to to was to make the most of it while we had the chance.

I made that fatal mistake thinking that I knew the way. Leaning at an angle of 45 degrees against the driving rain, I staggered along the tram lines past the Casino and feeling convinced that the tram lines. myst be correct, determined to follow them. After about half an hour's walk, mostly uphill; I became rather sus- of How Bairastather Began His “Cartoons From the Trenches — | wire: a few days ago. which he was billeted with his men.

Seeing a sentry box outside a pala- tial edifice on the right, I tacked across the road and looked for the sentry. A lurid thing in gendarmes ad- vanced upon me and I let off one of my curtailed French sentences at him: “Pour Bleville, Monsieur?” Finds He’s on Wrong Road. I can’t give his answer in French, but being. interpreted- I think it meant that It was comletely on the wrong road and that he wasn't cer- tain as to how I could ever get to Havre and starting again. He produced an envelope, made an unintelligible sketch on the back of it and started me off again down the way I had come. I realized what my mistake had been. There was evidently a branch tram line, which I had followed, and this I thought could only have branched off near the Casino, 80 back I went to the Casino and start- ed again. I was right about the branch line and started merrily off again, tak- ing as I thought the main line to Bleville. After another half-hour of this, with eyes feverishly searching for recognizable landmarks, I again began to have doubts as to the veracity of the tram lines. How- ever, pretending that I placed their honesty beyond all doubt, I plodded on; but round a corner found the outlook so unfamilier that I deter- mined to ask again. WNot a soul about. Presently I discovered a small house standing back off the road and showing a thin slit of light above the shutters of a downstairs window. I tapped on the glass. A sound as of someone hurriedly try- ing to hide a pile of coverless um- brellas in a cupboard was followed by the opening of the window, and a bristling head was silhouetted against the light. I squeezed out the same old sen- tence: “Pour Bleville, Monsieur ?” A fearful cataract of unintelligib!- words burst from the head, but left me almost as much in the dark as ever, though with a faint glimmering that I was “warmer.” I felt that if I. went back about a mile ani = is playing such an important part degrees maximum. where it joins the the house over. the day.

And then I crept into my tent and tried to sleep. CHAPTER II. Dumped at a Siding. ' OT much sleep that night, a sort of feverish coma instead; wild dreams in which I and the gendarme were attacking a Ger- man trench, the officer in charge of which we found to be the Base Camp Adjutant after all. However, I got up>»-early—packed my few belongings in my valise, which had mysteriously turned up from the docks, and went off on the tram down to Havre. That hundred men I had brought over had nothing to do with me now. I was entirfly on my own and was off to the front to join my battalion. Down at Havre the officials at the station gave me a complicated yellow dia- gram, known as a traveling pass, and I got into a carriage in the train bound for Rouen. I was not alone now; a whole for- est of Second Lieutenants like my- self were in the same train, and with them a solid, congealed mass of valises, packs, revolvers and hav- ersacks. At last the train started, and after the usual hour spent in feeling that you have left all the most important things behind, I settled down on a mound of equip- ment and tried to do a bit of a sleep. So what with sleeping, smoking and talking, we jolted along until we pulled up at Rouen. Here I had to leave the train, for some obscure reason, in order to go to the Palais de Justice to get another ticket. I padded off down over the bridge into Rouen, found the Palais, went in, and was shown along to an of- fice that dealt in tickets. In this dark and dingy oak- paneled saloon, illuminated. by elec- tric light and the glittering reflec- tions from gold braid, there lurked a General or two. I was here given another pass entitling me to be de- posited at a certain siding in Flan- ders. Back I went to the station, and in due course rattled off in the train again towards the North. A fearfully long journey we had up to the front. The worst of it was that nobody knew— or, if they did, wouldn't tell you-—which way you were going, or how long it would take to get to your destination. For instance, we didn’t know we were going to Rouen till we got there; and we didn’t know we were going from Rouen to Boulogne until, after a night spent in the train, the whole outfit jolted and jangled into the Gare de Something, down by the wharf at that salubrious seaport. We spent a complete day and part of an evening at Boulogne, as our train did not leave until midnight. I and another chap who was going to the next railhead to mine at the front, went off together into the town and had lunch at a cafe in the High street. We then strolled around the shops, buying a few things we needed. Not very attractive things either, but I'll mention them here show how we thought and felt. Tea With Two French Giris. We first went to a pharmacie“ tent. and got some boxes of morphia: tab- | lets, after which we went to an iron- monger’s (don't know the French for it) and each bought a ponderous | pair of barbed wire cutters. So What with wire clippers and morphia tablets, we were gay. About 4 o’clock we calmed down a bit, and went to the same restaurant where we had lunched. Here we had tea with a couple of French girls, exceeding good to look upon, who had apparently escaped from Lille. We got on splendidly with them till a couple of French of- ficers, one with the Legion of Honor, came along to the next table. That took all the shine out of us, so we determined to quit, and cleared off to the Hotel de Folkestone, where we had a bath to console us. Dinner fol- lowed, and then, feeling particularly hilarious, I made my will. Not the approved will of family lawyer style, but just a letter announcing, in bald and harsh terms that, in the evént of my remaining permanently in Bel- gium, I wanted my total small world- ly wealth to be disposed of in a cer- tain. way. Felt better after this outburst and, rejoining my pal, we went oft into the town again and by easy stages reached the train. At about 1 a. m. the train started, and we creaked and groaned our way out of Boulogne. We were now. really off for the front, and the sit- uation consequently’ became more exciting. We were slowly getting nearer and nearer to the real thing. But what a train! It dribbled and rumbled along at about five miles an hour, and, I verily believe, stopped at every farmhouse within sight of the line. I could not help thinking that the engine driver was a Ger- man in disguise, wao was trying to prevent our ever arriving at our des- tination. I tried to sleep, but each time the train pulled up woke with a start and thought that we'd got there. This went on for many hours and as I knew we must be getting’ somewhere near, my dreams became worse and worse. A Cautious Engine Driver. I somehow began to think that the engine driver was becoming cau- tious (he was a Frenchmman again) —thought that, perhaps, he had to get down occasionally and walk ahead a bit to see if it was safe to go on. Nobody in the train had the least idea where the front was, how far off. or what it was like. For all we knew our train might be going right up into the rear of the front line trenches. Somewhere round 6 a. m. I reached my siding. All the others, except myself and one other, had got out at previous halts. I got down from the carriage on to the cinder track and went along the line to the station. Nobody about except a few Frenchmen, so I went back to the carriage again and sat look- ing out. through the dimmed win- dow at the rain-soaked flat country. The other fellow with me was doing the same. A sudden, profound de- pression came over me. Here was I and this other cove dumped down at this horrible siding; nothing to eat, and nobody to meet us. How rude and callous of someone, or something. I looked at my watch; it had stopped, and on trying to wind it I found it was broken. I stared out of the window again; gave that up, and stare“ at the op- posite seat. Suddenly my eye caught something shiny under the seat. I stooped and picked it up; it was a also added that if he were me he wouldn't hurry about going there, as I could probably get a lift in an A. 8. C. wagon later on. I took his dark advice, and having left all my tackle by his office, went into the nearest estaminet to get some breakfast. The owner, a genial but garrulous little Frenchman, spent quite a lot of time explaining to me how those hateful people, the Boches, had occupied his house not so long before, and had punched a hole in his kitchen wall to use a machin gun through. After) breakfast I went to the station and arranged for my baggage to be sent on by an A. 8. C. wagon, and then started out to walk to Nieppe, which I learnt was the p battalion “ billeted. As I plodded along the muddy road in the pour- ing rain, I became aware of a sound with which I was afterwards to be- come horribly familiar. it was the voice of the guns, and in that moment I realized that here was the war, and that I was in it. down uninteresting known on maps as roads—until, tina N ally, I entered Nieppe. ing soldier, was having its last day in billets prior to going into the trenches again. They were billeted at a disused brewery at the other end of the town. the squalid street and finally found the place. soldiers were clustéred about the en- trance in groups. I went in through the large archway past them into the brewery yard. Soldiers everywhere, resting, talking and ‘smoking. quired where the officers’ quarters were, and was shown to the brewery head office. Here I found the bat- talion officers, many of knew, and went into their impro- vised messroom, which, in previous days, had apparently been the brew- lery board room. trenches again, and last evenings servants, who were more engrossed watch!

But a water main, ‘bursting in the basement, had made it necessary to put out the fires in the heating plant, so that the hall was too cold for musicians to play or for the audience to listen in com- fort. Manager Gaines announced that the concert would be postponed until to- morrow night, when the program -scheduled for yesterday will be giv- en. The usual “pop” prices will ob- tain, and yesterday’s tickets will be honored. This is the first time in 10 years that it has been necessary to postpone a popular concert. Director Zach and the orchestra arrived Saturday afternoon from their tour in Ohio, the train being several hours late on account of the storm. Their instruments did not reach the Odeon until a short time before yesterday’s program was due to begin. Rumania Forced Into Armistice Deal by Russia, it Is Reported. AMSTERDAM, Dec. 10.—The Ru- manian Government was forced to enter the armistice negotiations with the Germans, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, as a result of an ultimatum from the Russian Government. This threatened the withdrawal of Rus- sian troops from the Moldavian front and the stoppage of the export of food and war material. IN ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS Fifteen Children Are Treated on First Morning at Central High School. The first free public school dental clinic opened this morning at Central High School. The clinic, which will be continued as a permanent branch of the Department of Hygiene of the public school system, was established with an annuity of $2500 donated by George A. Meyer, president of the International Bank. Fifteen children. a majority of them suffering from neglected and decayed teeth, appeared for treat- ment. Children in need of treatment are sent from the various city schools upon the recommendation of mem- bers of the visiting staff of nurses. iach child ts furnished with a blank form on which their parents must consent to the treatment. When this formality is disposed of, the pa- tient is sent, at the expense of the Board of Education, to the clinic. Before going into the operating room for treatment, the children are lectured on cleanliness and the care of their teeth, by Miss L. Lambing, a nurse. To facilitate this work slo- Sans, such as Fifty per cent of fail- ures in public schools are due to de- fective teeth,“ have been written on a large blackboard in the waiting room.

ONE SAYS ‘WILSON MUST G Another Declares America Is Trampling Monroe Doctrine in Pursuance of Crazy Idea.“ AMSTERDAM. Dec. 10.— The Ger- man press generally uses language ot denunclation in commenting on President Wilson's message to Con- gress. Count von Reventlow, in the Tages Zeitung, sees in the message proof that, quite apart from the war on land, it is a question of the ac- tual existence of the German empire and that only the strength and tenac- ity of Germany will and can prevail against the Anglo-Saxon attack. The Tageblatt says that the mes- sage has raised new difficulties for the friends of peace by understand- ing. The Zeitung am Mittag says: “If President Wilson so puts the prob- lem that there can be no peace with the present Germany, then Wilson, together with Lloyd George and Cle- menceau, must disappear.’’ The Rheinische Westfalische Zeit- ung says: Wilson has surpassed himself in unexampled shameless- ness.“ It interprets the war declaration against Austria as intended to revive the low spirits of the entente coun- tries at a moment when their pros- pects were hopelessly gloomy. “U. S. Trampling. Monroe Doctrine.” The Deemokratisch Volks Zeitung calls President Wilson The protec- tor of the endangered British em- pire.”’ The Neuste Nachrichten says: “No former President worked so repul- sively toward foreign questions as President Wilson. America now is trampling the Monroe doctrine in pursuance of a crazy idea.“ The Koenische Zeitung says: “Only when our victory in Europe is com- plete will America come to recog- nize that a strong monarchy in the heart of Europe means no danger for American democracy. But un- til then we will be advised to con- sider the United States as an abso- lute enemy.“ U. S. DECLARATION WILL NOT AFFECT UNION MAN FAILS TO STAND UP FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM rpen „Delegate Is Struck at ee and Later Sus- pended by Central Trades. A stormy scene was caused at Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union Hall, 2228 Olive street, yesterday afternoon when Emmet A. Oburn of 4528 Man- chester avenue, a delegate from the United Brotherhood of Carpenter's, failed to stand for the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by the Great Lakes Naval Band. Joe Taylor, a member of the Brit- ish Recruiting Mission, shouted from the rostrum, “Stand up, you damned traitor,” and, rushing. to where Oburn was seated, pulled him to his feet. The delegates crowded around and one struc Oburn. He remained standing until the national anthem | was finished and then P. J.

AMSTERDAM, Lec. 10.—The dec- laration of war against Austria-Hun- gary by the United States, while “painful” to the empire, will not af- fect the war, in the opinion of Count Czernin, Austro-Hungartan Foreign Minister, whose recent speech is quoted in the Berlin Tages Zeitung. Referring to President Wilson’s mes- sage, Count Czernin is credited with having said: “President Wilson’s speech is in many respects not clear, but ft marks a step forward in the President's manner of thinking, at least in one direction, when he says ‘We in no- wise desire to harm Austria- Hun gary and it is none of our affair to concern ourselves with institutions and peoples.’ ? Speaks of Progress by President. “The President shows signs of ＋ making important progress which- it a is to our interest to nail down. The right of self-determination by a na- tion is a catch phrase given differ- ent interpretations by various states- men. We find it first used by the entente at the beginning of the war as their reasons for taking up arms to protect small states like Servia and Montenegro from violence by the central Powers. “In a note addressed to the bellig- erents in December, 1916, President Wilson still held to be the one prin- ciple of his peace aims the safe- guarding of the rights of small stat as. Subsequently he supplemented this with the formula that he is waging war for the liberation from foreign domination of Italians, Servians, Ru- manians, Czechs and Slovaks. This protection for small nations has e- ceded into the background to be re- placed by plans for the forcible sep- aration from the monarchy of csr- tain nationalities without granting the latter the right of self-determi- nation of their future.“ : ; : 9 Alsace Only Bar to Peace, Says Ozer- Just to listen to this rousing popular hit makes you : nin. wish you were going over, too.

The Post-D toh is receiving let- ters from children »who want Santa ‘Claus shown the way to their homes, and from others who send little of- erings in the hope that it will help those less fortunate than themselves to have a joyous Christmas. One iit- tle girl’s letter reads: “My Dear Santa Claus—I am A little girl 7 years old, and my mamma is alone, trying to make a living. We jhave four children, all of them younger than me. My papa has been dead three years.” The letter has been sent to Dr. | Mangold’s | Basket List Committee, | tion. One of the child contributors is Sophie Fidler, 9 years old, of 1139 Bayard avenue, who said in a letter accompanying her offering: In- closed find 25 cents account Christ- ‘dren do their bit,’ as I do. A contribution of $20 which was acknowledged in tthe Post-Dispatch yesterday, was brought to the cash- | business office by a chauffeur, who merely handed it in and left without any explanation. An envelop which inclosed the money was addressed to the newspaper, and with the $20 bill inside was only this note: “A Post- Dispatch Christmas offering.“ The handwriting apparently was 8 of an elderly woman. in Verse With $2. * Herbert W. Cann of Hurst, III., sent a verse letter with $2. His lines read: Give while you may to help the chil- dren’s Christmas feasts; Call it not charity, nor penance for you sin; Not all the absolution given by Chris- tian pjrises ; Will serve so well at Heaven's gate to let you in. “My usual mite for the kiddies,” he Bays of his contribution. SHIP OFFICER BLOWN-MILE INLAND BY HALIFAX BLAST Third Mate on Transport 200 Yards From Mont Blanc Was Stripped of . HALIFAX, Dec. 6.—Unbdelleva- ble incidents happened when the ‘munitions ship exploded here Thurs- day, but the case of Third Officer ‘Mayers of the British transport Mid- dleton Castle stands out as the most remarkable. The transport was not more than 200 yards from the Mont Blanc when the crash came, At that moment Mayers was on the deck ready to step into a boat to go ashore. my When he recovered consciousness he was prone on the high ground a mile away and there was not a piece | of clothing on his body. He was re- moved to a house nearby and prob- jably will recover. The Middleton Castle was wrecked beyond repair and most of her crew and mechanics from the city at work in her engine room were killed.

Almost insuperable arise,” says the Secretary of Labor, “when labor disputes occur under circumstances in which employers permit organization by their work- men only on pain of dismissal. Sin :e in such eases the workmen have no responsible business representatives, only one party to controversies tan be conveniently -or satisfactorily heard. In such cases, also, the work- ers, being prevented by their em- ployers from organizing on a busi- ness basis, tend to fall away from the pacifying influence of conservative, constructive, and responsible labor organizations and to conf under that of irresponsible revolutionists. | As most labor lawlessness is trace- | able to this cause, responsibility for it can not be wholly diverted from the policy—hardly patriotic in time of war—of arbitrarily obstructing labor organization of the conserva- tive type. Coerced Settlements Unfair. , The departmént is of course |i aware of proposals, more Donner i éarlier in the war than now, to set- |= tle labor disputes by coereing wage earners. But these /proposals are | both unfair and impracticable. They are also widely regarded, and not without reason, as unpatriotic. It is enough to say of them here that j a — RnR „ ! | placed in the postal savings bank to ed practically 1,000,000 men and has calling for. Government mediation : U in the view of this department’ pub- ne sentiment can not be expected to tolerate conscription of labor for- pri- vate profit. Should industrial con- scription become really necessary in order effectively to prosecute the war, a policy less likely to be consid- ered one-sided would be desiralile. It would seem—that is, if workers were to be conscripted for industria! purposes—that the working oppor- tunities to which they were assigned ought to be commandeered, so as to make such workers not coerced serv- ants of employers but employes of the Government itself. “There is, however, no reason for apprehending a ‘necessity for any kind of labor conscription in order to settle or prevent disputes between employers and their employes which may interfere with a vigorous prose- cution of the war. In every case i> which responsible representatives of conservative labor organizdtions | which represent their disputing em- | ployes in the spirit in which they | would negotiate with business com- | petitors, labor disputes can be settled | speedily, effectively and without fric- tion through the mediation service of the Department of Labor. By sim- ple and fair systems of collective bargaining between the Government, labor org®nizations and business or- ganizations all labor disputes preju- dicial to an effective prosecution of the war can be promptly eliminated from war problems. Not only can this be done, but it can be done to the Satisfaction of all concerned and in harmony with every patriotic pur- pose. “Our greatest need ig the spirit of self-sacrifice for the common good— ® sacrificg of our pride, sacrifice of yur prejudices, sacrifice of our sus- ricions against each other, sacrifice of our material comforts, sacrifice of our lives, if need be—to. carry on unimpaired the democratic institu- tions handed down to us by our fathers.” Pay of Interned Germans. The report makes an announce- ment on the much-discussed, pay and, privileges being allowed to the in- terned German civilians in the camps controlled by the Department of La- bor. “It was agreed by the department to remunerate those of the interned aliens who should perform labor of any kind in connection with the con- struction or management of the in- ternment camp at the rate of $20 a month; those who served in the ca- pacity of foremen, etc., to receive $25 a month, The interned officers, how- ever, have been allowed to receive | from any source only. $10 a month and the seamen $5 a month, receipts in excess of these amounts being —— | if | nS 2 nae { 1 Pn J.

Asked by the British Admiral to whom he reported when his ships would be ready for work against the submarines after the long voyage, the officer replied: “We are ready now.” “That was not the language of boasting,” Daniels says in describing the incident. “It was the prophecy and pledge of our service with those fighting in a common cause. Proposes $1,039,660,502 Budget. For the coming year Daniels pro- poses a naval budget of $1,039,660,- 502, which is not itemized in his re- port: In various ways, he says, it will be necessary to ask for addition- al funds as the session of Congress proceeds. He points out, however, that appropriations for the last fisca] year totaled $1,542,732,859 for the navy, and for a 13 months’ period, $1,905,410,930. Striking figures contained in the report showing the war expansion of the navy include the following: Since Jan. 1, 1917, the naval force has increased from 4500 officers and 68,000 men to 15,000 officers and 254,000 men; the number of stations of all kinds operated by the navy has increased from 130 to 363; the number of civil employes from 36,- 000 to 60,000; the strength of the naval reserve from a few hundreds to 49,246 men; the average monthly expenditure from $8,000,000 to $60,- 000,000; the number of ships in commission from a little more than 300 to more than 1000; the Hospital Corps from 1600 to 7000; the Na- tional Naval Volunteers from none to 16,000 men; the Marine Corps from 344 officers and 9921 men to 1197 officers and 30,000 men. In addition to this and to the vast or- ders for material placed, the expan- sion of the air service and to many (wholly new activities developing from war conditions, training facil- ities have been provided for 113,650 men exclusive of the Naval Acad- emy and other regular service schools.

JAMES. “the sunshine comedy,” dif- d 40 LADY 31, aptly called on the coldest night of the season et the Shubert-Garrick. This play, which was the talk of New York last year and had a 21 weeks’ run there, was presented for the first time in St. Louis last night. It fully justified all the flattering advance notices. “Old Lady 31” has been described as a play “by women, of women, for women.” It is all of that and more, for judging by its effect on last night's audience it has, especially in its comedy element, an. irresistible appeal to men. It has the pathos of a Denman Thompson melodrama and the sure-fire humor of a Broadhurst farce. Since its production.in New York, it has been strengthened in cast and plot. The players who present this gen- tle comedy of old folks“ by Rachel Crothers are, in the main, famous character actors and actresses of a generation ago, whose r has been ripened and mellowed by age. Of those who portray the principal char- acters only three are less than 60 years old. These are Emma Duna, the star, who has the role of Angie Rose; Marie Pecheur, as Mary, the Scuire’s daughter, and James J. Mitchell as Mary’s youthful and am- John. One “Old Lady” a Man. “Old Lady 31” is not an eld iady at all, but an old man, Abe Rose, An- gie’s husband, a retired sea captain, whose bad investments and lack of thrift have brought him and his de- voted wife to the portals of poverty. The story begins with a prologue, parting from their little New En- | believably heartening: message, gives| the play its, happy: ending. land Abe cross the portals of the Old reclaim their little seaside home. which, incidentally, is a different and much better ending thah the. one which the play had when first pro- duced in New Tork. r 2 — — “Miss Springtime” Opens Tonight at| The Jefferson. “Miss eee = Sey & Er- langer’s most successful musical comedy of the last New: Tork season, will open a week’s engagement at the jefferson Theater tonight.

Paderewski, the pianist, who is active in this country in the interest of Poland. ing, scheduled for last night, was de- fused much-needed warmth |: in which Abe and Angie are seen de- gland seaside home, which has been sold for debt, Angie to go to an Old Ladies’ Home and Abe to the Poor Farm, five miles away. He has in- sisted the $100 remaining to them be used to pay for Angie's admission to the home. The thought of sep- aration overwhelms her with grief, i which she endeavors to conceal from him. After she has picked flowers from the garden and taken a last look at the old home, they trudge down the road, Abe trundling An- gie’s trunk and his own little black bag.on a toy wagon. 5 The first act opens at the Old Ladies’ Home. The dwellers there spinsters and widows, are gossiping about the expected arrival of Angie whom some have known since school days. In their sharp, uncompromis- ing feminie way, they agree that Abe “can’t amount to much.“ Blossy’s Novel Idea. Blossy, the home’s only giddy and frivolous inmate, alone has a kind word to say for the unfortunate sea captain. She proposes that the home take Abe in along with his wife. 80 that the two may not be separated in the autumn of their days. “What!” snaps the crabbed Sarab Jane, a man here in this house with $0 women?” . “Why, don’t you see?“ exclaims the generous Blossy. He'd be Old Lady 31.“ A vote is taken, and it is adverse to the proposal. And then —Abe arrives with Angie, and his pleasant smile and gallant manner cause a quick reconsideration. Tha old ladies decide a man would be “‘a good thing to have around,“ and he is taken in. A rich vein of mingled pathos and comedy is uncovered in the second act, when the other old ladies become jealous of Abe's attentions to the giggling, sentimental Blossy. As women often do, they have taken snap judgment, as Abe's interest in Blossy has been purely sympathetic, while he listened to her never-ending story of how Samuel Darby, another sea captain, had been courting her for 30 years without ever steering his ship into the port of matrimony. A climax is reached in this act; when Blossy volunteers to sing and Abe leads her to the rattly old piano and adjusts the stool for her. A Chord of Memory. “Don’t go too far away, Abe,” says Blossy, coquettishly. The song I’m going to sing has to be sung to a man.” “I won't budge. plies Abe. The faded Blossy touches the dis- cordant keys and tries to sing ‘“‘Doug- las, Tender and True,” but something grips her love-hungry heart and she breaks down, weeping. It is agreed among the other old ladies that this is an “indecent exhi- bition” and that Abe must be ex- pelled from the home and go to the poor farm. Angie rises to the occa- sion with a woman’s quick wit, and hurriedly marries off Blossy to her long-hesitating suitor. Capt. Darby, thus removing the cause of scandal. While doing this she is not too busy also to promote a match between John and the Squire's daughter. Then another trouble rears its head. Abe has fallen sick, or think4 he has, and he is fast being killed by the Old Ladies’ Home brand of kind- ness, when the bridegroom, Capt. Darby, and Mike, the home’s mah-of- all-work, convince him that what he needs is a good spree.“ Surreptitiously he goes with his old friend Darby to a life-saving station, where they foregathered in their sea- faring days. When Abe, a sorry fig- ure, sneaks back to the home through a terrific storm, 36 hours later, his woe-begone appearance in- dicates that he got what he went after. He crawls on a sofa in the sitting room of the home and pulls a quilt over his head. Angie, passing through the room on her way to the poor farm to look for him, hears Abe’s familiar snore. After she has aroused him, she remembers that she has in her pocket a letter for him Go ahead,” re- which arrived in his absence. This letter, a wonderful and un- * | 5 a. life.

Ser N THE busy wires of the world’s urgent news, THE LITERARY DIGEST is “listening in.” Its forty: hundred ears are open in the editorial sanc- tums of four thousand newspapers and magazines in alllands. It understands all languages, and there- fore learns what all men, and women, parties, and nations are doing and saying in these exciting days. The many wondrous things THE LITERARY DIGEST hears, fresh and direct, from every corner of the earth, make up a marvelous story each week, of the world’s rapidly changing life.. It is full of the needs, the aims, and the efforts of our Allies in Britain, and France, Italy, Japan, Russia, and all the other nations. It is full of the schemes, the opinions, and the driving assaults of our enemies in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey. It is full of the purposes, the plans, the counsels, the patriotism, and the great spirit of service of America as revealed throughout the length and breadth of our own land. In its hundred and more pages each week is a story of supreme importance for all earnest men and women,. AND TASTE ~ ARE FULLY DESCRIBED I ‘ANT Ut EST BOOKS OF t America Can Do in War — 2 — 9 1 e are but a few of the vital cs covered weekly in hips—Men More than two millions already are enjoying it and watching eagerly for it week by week; but mil- lions more must know and share. THE LITERARY DIGEST, therefore, is speaking straight to the people by thirty thousand tongues, telling them of what it has in store. In more than four hundred American newspapers it buys and uses large space each week to tell their millions of readers about its great record and interpretation of American life and world life. ia But that is not enough. it must reach all the people, and it has found the one way. It goes directly into the cities and towns, and the ‘suburban districts, where the people live and work, and there it finds a “close up” contact with them. It rides with them in their street cars and speaks to them while they are sitting at attention. It tells them, through nearly thirty thousand street car cards, of the big things upon which the mind, and heart, and action of America are concentrated, — things Thefiterary Digest FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary) New York “Everywhere - its voices sound, lo everything its ears are open. — VIRGIL. 8 TCH MEXICO! military movement, every diplomatic has ot 8 a bearing * info ful American. The les [JAPAN’S AMBITIONS Keep which THE LITERARY. DIGEST is constantly making plain. It tells them what the President is calling for, what Pershing wants, what Hoover is doing. It tells them of the Red Cross and the Liberty Bond campaigns. It calls their mighty support to the plans of the Government, to the relief of suffer- ing Belgium, Poland, Armenia, and other stricken peoples. It stirs the patriotism of all classes, inspires their cooperation, and encourages . their spirit of sacrifice for America’s service to humanity. FRING es ‘THE LITERARY DIGEST has found it possiblo to do all this, first, because it reaches more than - two million readers each week with its great story of life, and, second, because it has discovered the secret of direct appeal to all the people through’ nearly thirty thousand street car cards. These thirty thousand tongues have proved and are proving the greatest rallying force in the work of THE LITERARY DIGEST. Read the few specimens on this page. Every one is full of meaning.

THE LESSON BEFORE CAMBRAI. Of those gains before Cambrai which spread such encouragement throughout the entente world for a few days, how much remains after the subsequent German counter-attacks? The results of the surprise with which the Ger- mans matched the earlier British surprise have perhaps not been fully appreciated. The New Battle of Chancellorsville, in which Gen. Hooker gained successes over the Confederates in the first hours of the fighting. Then, while the Fed- erals were felicitating themselves on what they had done, Stonewall Jackson marched clear around the main Federal force and administered a stunning surprise that has become a classic in military textbooks. The only difference the Times sees is that defeat before Cambrai did not become a rout as it did in Virginia. But it might easily have be- come a rout with an exact duplication of condi- tions, which duplication would have been brought ‘about had the opposing forces been ‘separate York Times compares the engagement to the tem of handling appropriations. enues has been often presented. Unanswerable at any time, it adds to itself the compulsion of a national, patriotic obligation in this time of war. President Wilson has called attention to this re- torm in words that magnify its great desirability into an unavoidable necessity if the war is prop- erly to be sustained. Billions are now being apportioned by Congress where formerly only millions were apportioned to the various objects of government.

The police method has been to ask the a sorry spectacle to a burdened people, even if only with indifference, sometimes even with smiles. The final decision as to all appropriations should rest with one committee instead of with several committees as at present. A scientific budget system is the very least concession by which Congress can show its appreciation of the solemn trust imposed on it in making the wisest, more effective use of the resources of the people poured out in the national cause. | When the wealth of the nation was conscripted, it became time for the use of the most skillful generalship attainable in the marshalling of these important conscripts. = = „ te The aldermanic Public Utilities Committee thinks that it is necessary to restore “public confidence” before proceeding with the United Railways settlement.

The occupation of lands in Africa, Asia and islands in the Pacific was the work of such far- seeing Germans as Ballin, Delbrueck, Solf and Dernburg who visualized the day when the popula- tion of their fatherland would become so great that room would have to be found for the over- flow. For years they worked to encourage a flow of immigration to Africa but to no avail. Today the number of whites in the German equatorial possessions is small. The average German preferred to stay close to home. If it became necessary for him to move he went to the Baltic provinces of Russia, into the Balkans, into France, fnto England—in fact ev- erywhere except to those places where his resi- The argument for a systematized budget system in administering the expenditure of public rev- maneuvering armies instead of merely units among vast forces occupying two fortified lines extending from the mountains to the sea, The lesson of the Cambrai geries of engage- ments is that entente commafiders, who have shown so well that they know how to prepare for defeats, must also know how to pfepare for vic- tories—victories on a huge and unlooked for scale—to improve every opportunity. for going forward while the going is good, to seize psy- chölogical moments as really great generalship knows how to seize them. \ After the Cambrai balance is struck a heavy preponderance of gains remains to the allies. They inflicted almost unprecedented losses on the Germans and they still hold ground beyond the old Hindenburg line. But it is unpleasant to think of what might have been, had the allied forces been organized, not only for the attack, but for the full opportunities of a victory, what- ever the scale of its unexpected magnitude, after the attack.

When the large percentage of fatalities seating diphtheria patients who are denied the use of the serum is considered, it can be seen to be almost literally a trafficking in human lives. It may be suspected that persons capable of this kind of profiteering would be capable of bombing hospitals or torpedoing hospital ships. At any rate if the relation between the responsible cause and the appalling effect is a little more obvious and shocking in the case of the bomb attacks | on hospital patients than in thé case of the profiteering attacks on diphtheria victims, it can at least be said that the Germans blew up hospitals and sunk hospital ships without having any immediate financial gains as their sordid incentive. 8 + "(tes ee . ane — Se ad 2 8 7 +. 3 “TURN, BOYS, TURN!

All persons who have reason to expect that in the course of events they will be arrested, will be grateful to Chief of Police Young for his order t® policemen and detectives directing them to dis- pense with phonetic spelling of prisoners’ names. It is very humiliating for a person to do some- thing worthy of arrest and then find his name misspelled in the paper. It makes him feel almost and write it the way it sounds, with re- picturesque but painful to sensitive owners. new order the policemen will be ask the terms under which the company now operates is when no stipulations as to capitalization limits are prescribed. Presumably an attempt was made to include a valuation feature with a view to avoiding the evils of the present and the past. In general, provisions restricting traction capital to a fair return on investment are provisions in the interest of the public, in distinction from the interest of the corporation. To permit any con- siderable excess over a fair return is to permit the diversion of money that ought to go to service in some form. It inflicts penalties in multitudi- nous forms on the community and tends to en- courage plundering, absurdly distorted views as to what is their due and ultimate discontent on the part of greedy traction magnates. A limit on the amount which security owners may grab off in the division of earnings between service and dividends has come to be the vital point in fran- chise arrangements. the price at which the city may buy the traction properties should not be fixed now, and it should not be fixed at any time at a grossly excessive sum. And, barring the few exceptions noted, it In the admiralty investigation, beginning to- morrow, into the causes of the Halifax explosion, the mistaken signals resulting in the collision be- tween the Belgian relief ship, Imo, and the muni- tions ship, Mont Blanc, will, of course, have an important place. Floating powder magazines are not to be steered around harbors with the light- hearted indifference of joyriders on a picnic. When all the circumstances shall have had their after-the-fact sifting and, as usual, after great calamities, the world shall have been duly im- pressed with the slight modicum of care that might have prevented the horror, one thing will still remain to cause wonder whenever reference is made to the appalling accident. This is why gasoline in considerable quanti- ties was permitted to be carried on a ship loaded with explosives of the most terrific known power. Gasoline and explosives in close proximity make a combination of such deadly peril as to be shunned by men of prudence at all times and all places. .

ANTWINE’S OPINION. vad | T seems that one thing that must come out of the present session of Congress is some un- derstanding as to the bounds within which we are to have criticism of the Government during the war,’’ Mr. Antwine said. There is a very grave danger that if the present situation continues all those whose motives in criti- cising the Government are bad may succeed in hiding behind those whose motives are good. This would be unfortunate for two reasons: First, because it may deprive the Government of 2 great deal of construc- tive criticism, and it may to some extent shield those in our midst who wish us no good. Wo must have an active constructive criticism of the war policies of the Government, just as England and France have had. We cannot win the war with- out it. On the other hand, we must make a plain distinction between such criticism and that which seeks not to improye our method of making war, but wishes merely to diminish the effectiveness of such means as we have. The obvious opportunity of the Republican party at this time is this constructive criticism. There lies its single means of serving either the country or it- self, I have been watching the Republican party since the wag began, and it is my opinion that it has displayed a great deal of political discretion. In- stead of interfering at a time when not a moment was to be lost in going to the relief of those who fought the common enemy, it held its forces in line and reserved for itself the right of constructive criti- cism when that should be useful. I call that pretty good politics. ‘In contrast to that we have the Socialists, whe have by this time pretty well convinced the country that they parted from the rest of us when war was declared. Some of the Socialists themselves have complained of the party having been put in this posi- tion, and its future in constructive criticism is dis- credited by its past. **That is a good deal of heavy thinking for one sitting, so if no one minds we will now pass lightly to a somewhat general discussion of the present weather.’’ * * * Sir: On Seventh street, just below Chouteau ave- nue, I could see this sign from the Fourth street car Wow e think 1 odes trem tau e heals tree as the other Just a Min Nuts?

Certainly not one of the radical groups in Russia will admit that what it has contributed to the situation is what is the matter with Russia.

I have for some time felt that probably all reforms get along at just about the rate that is good for us. I think this has been true of woman suffrage. At any rate, first one forges ahead, then another; finally one makes its goal. This happens just about as often as we can stand it. In Russia they all succeeded at once. The result was chaos.

Brand of Self-Rising Free- dom in red packages, and seem to be doing quite a good business, too.” “Sure, I know,” Morris agreed ‘but you would think that freedon: was freedom and that there could be no arguments about it, so why the devil do them poor Russian work- ingmen go on fighting each other, Abe?“ ee want an immediate peace with Germany,” Abe said, “and the way it looks now, they would still be’ fighting each other for an immediate peace 10 years after the war is over, be- cause if them Russian workingmen was to get an immediate peace IM- MEDIATELY, Mawruss, they would have to go to work again, and you know as well as I do, Mawruss, the very last thing that a Russian work- ingman thinks of, y’understand, is working.“ | “Well, in a way, you couldn't blame the Russians for what is go- ing on in Russland, Abe,“ Morris said. “For years already, the So- cilalists has been telling them poor Nebiches what a rotten time the workingmen had before the Social Revolution, y’understand, and what a good time the workingman is go- ing to have after the Social Revolu- tion, understand me, but what kind of a time the workingman would have during the Social Revolution, THAT the Socialists left for them poor Russians to find out for. themselves, and when those workingmen who come through it alive begin to figure the profit and loss on the transac- tion, Abe, the whole past life of one of those Socialist leaders is going to flash before his eyes just before the drop falls, y’understand, and one of his pleasantest recollections—if you can call recollections pleasant on such an occasion—will be the happy days he spent knocking down fares on the Third and Amsterdam avenue cars.“ “Then 1 take it you ain't got a whole lot of sympathy for the So- clalists, Mawruss,“ Abe sald. “Not since when I was a green- horn I used to work at buttonhole j making, and I heard a Socialist fel- ier on East Houston street hollering that under a Socialistic system the laborer would get the whole fruits of his labor,“ Morris said. Pretty near all that night I lay awake figuring to myself that if I could make 12 button -holes .every 10 minutes, which would be 72 button holes an hour, or 720 button holes a day, Abe, how many button holes would I have in a year under a Socialistic system, and after I had them, what would I do with them? The consequence was, I overslept myself and came down late to the shop next morning, and it was more than two days be- fore I found ayother job.” ELL, that ain't much of an W argument against Social- N ism,"| Abe remarked. \“Not to wags people it wouldn’t but it an awful good argu- ent to me,/and I really think it me from becoming a Social- ist,. Morris said. ä N “Socialist!” Abe exclaimed. “How could a feller like you become a Socialist? I belong to the same lodge with you now for 10 years, and in all that time you've never nerve enough to get up and say even sc much as I second the motion.” “But there are two classes of Bo- clalists, Abe-—-the talkers and the listeners, and while I admit the talkers are in the big majority, the work of the listeners is just so im- portant. They are the fellers which * try out the ideas of the talkers, the only difference being that while such talkers as Herr Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg gets a lot of publicity out of going to jail for handing out Socialistic ideas, y’understand, the funerals which the listeners get for trying such ideas out are very, very private.“ “At that, them talking Socialists which is taking shifts with each other in running the Russian Gov- ernment must be putting in a pretty busy time, Mawruss, because there’s a whole lot of deail to such a job, and while past experience as a street car conductor may give the neces- sary endurance, it don’t help out much when it comes to systematizing the day’s work of a Russian dictator. For instance, we would say that he goes into office at 9 o’clock with the help of the 101ist Kazan Regiment, six companies of Cossacks, and the Tenth Poltava Separate Company of Machine Gunners. After making a Socialistic address to the survivors, he washes off the blood and puts on a clean collar, or in the case of a Bolsheviki dictator, he only washes off the blood. eT HE next thing on the pro- gram is to ring up a few flag and bunting concerns and ask for representatives to call about taking an order for a few national flags. They arrive half an hour later, and after making a Socialistic address, y’understand, Le picks out a design for immediate de- livery, because even a few hours’ delay will make a design for a Rus- sian national flag as big a sticker as a 1910 model runabout. “When he's got the flag off his mind, he next interviews the Rus- sian composers, Glazounow, Boro- dine, Arensky and Scriabine, and after making a Socialistic address, he invites them they should submit a new national anthem, the only re- quirements being that it should con- tain a reference to the fact that un- der the old competitive system, the workingman did not receve the whole fruits of his labor, and that delivery should be made not lator than 12:30 p. m. “He then goes over to the mint to decide upon models for a new gold coinage, and to confiscate as much of the old one as they have on hand. After making a Socialistic address to the director of the mint and his staff, y’understand, he agrees that the old clean-shaven Kerensky de- signs shall be altered by adding whiskers, because you know as well as I do, Mawruss, when it comes to the portrait on a gold cofn, nobody is going to take it so particular about the likeness not being so good, as long as it ain't plugged. 66 = then goes back to his office and prepares a Socialistic address to be delivered to the Duma, a socialistic address to be delivered to the army, and three or four more socialistic addresses with the names in blank for use in case of emergency,” Abe ¢ontinued, “and so one way or another he is kept busy right up to the time when word comes that his successor has just left Tsarskoe-Seloe with the Thirty- second Nijni-Novogqrod Infantry, and a regiment composed of contin- gents from the Ladies’ Aid Society of the First Universalist Church of Minsk, Daughters of the Revolution of 1905, the T. W. H. A. and the Women’s City Club of Odessa. Twen- ty minutes later he is on board a boat bound for Sweden, and after looking up the Ganeves in his stace- room, he comes up on deck and spends the rest of the trip making socialistic addresses to the crew, «i passengers and the cargo.” “Having to go and live in weden ain't such a pleasant fate neither,” Morris observed. “Say!” Abe exclaimed, there's only one thing that a Russian revolution- ary dictator really and truly worries about.“ What is that?“ Morris said. “Losing his voice,” Abe said.

In his opening chapter, Mr. Julian told how superstition beat the Cornishman out of a world’s title in his first bout with Jim Jeffries. Later he told of the clashes with Jim Corbett for the world s title, the second bat- tle with Peter Maher and the second meeting with Jeffries. Julian also has refuted the stories that Fitz never re- ceived a cent from the Cor- bett and Hall fights, bringing to light that Ruby Robdert made money. In his last chap- ter he also told of the fret “worthless piece of paper,” a clause for a return match in- serted in the Jeffries-Fitzsim- mons articles. claimed was a foul punch, awarding the victory to Tom as part of a deep plot. Fitz Very . ATURALLY, Fitz was more de- termined than he was against any opponent he had met to get even with Sharkey. The match attracted wide-spread attention, and, when the rivals entered the ring at Coney Cardinals Placed Third With .966 In Team Fielding Race for Honors for 1917 Season. The Cardinals were the third best fielding team in the National League. according to official averages for the 1917 season, which have just been released. Singularly enough, the teams which ran one, two, three in the penngnt race finished in an fden- tical manner in fielding honors. 7% ie Cardinals last season had 6680 chances and made 221 errors, giving them a percentage of .966. The race for clean playing afield honors was one of the tichtest in the history of the parent organization. The Giants, pennant winners, topped the fold, with 968, while the Cribs who finished last, possessed a mark 958. Thus, but 10 points sepa- rated the first and last teams. A marked improvement in team fielding in comparison with a year ago is shown in the figures. In 1916 National League teams had a total of 61,782 chances nd erred on 1939. During the past season, 52,196 chances were offered. and all but 1876 were played cleanly. The figures: Games, P.O A. E. Pet.

Sharkey Bout Former Champion Acted Like a Kid Following His Easy Vic- tory Over Rival — Was at Outs With Julian. 1 Island, the club was packed to the doors. Fitz wag so anxious to whip Shar- key in record time that he was rather careless in the first round, and he wasn’t able to get out of the way of one of the Seaman's wild swings, which caught him on the back of the neck and dropped him for a short count. Fitz didn’t want to let Sharkey think he was hurt and he arose to his feet sooner than he should have, for it would have been better if he had taken advantage of the full count. He was groggy, although I don't think Tom knew it. The bell finally come to Bob's rescue and it was music to his ears. Posses3ing, as he did, remarkable recuperative powers, the minute's rest | between rounds did Bob a world of good and he came out for the second round with fire in his eye. He wal- loped Sharkey from pillar to post and soon had him floundering like a small boat in a storm. Rights and lefts to the body and head weakened Sharkey to euch an extent that he was an easy prey for the mighty right to the chin that Bob uncorked. Sharkey dropped like a log and was counted out. Bob Acted Like a Kid. ITZ was like a kid with a new toy after this quick win. We exchanged friendly words after the bout and began’ negotiations, which resulted in my resumption of the custody of his businesg affairs. Fitz said that he was in sort of a daze for days from the punch on the neck Sharkey landed. He felt it more than any blow he ever received during his entire ring career. Now comes time to tell how we hap- pened to fall out. Both Bob and I were frieads of Charlie Essig and Sam Summerfield, two College sports- men and salesmen, who were ambi- tious to shine as promoters. They had the lease on the Star Theater—a small theater in the Windy City. They asked me if I'd allow Bob to fight Joe Choynski be- fore their club, but I ridiculed the idea, as I knew the seating capacity wasn't one-tenth large enough to ac- commodate the crowd which would be anxious to see such a dandy card. Not being able to interest me in their proposition, Essig and Sum- merfield went to Bob and catered to him for days, finally exacting his promise that he would fight for them at their club. Bob then came to me and stated his intentions. Turns Down Low Offer. éé OU must be crazy, Bob, to con- sider fighting such a good man at euch a small club. It would be just throwing away money. George Siler and Lou Housman are breaking their necks trying to secure my sig- nature to articles for us to box at the Battery D Armory, which is al- 2 as large as Madison Square Gar- en.“ Then Bob began to see the light. Tou go and tell these fellows, Mar- tin,” he said, “that I won't fight Choynski for them. Make any kind of an excuse, but get out of the match, for I eee it would be tossing off at least $10,000 to fight in their shoe box when we can fight before one of the largest clubs in the country.” I thought that this ended the mat- ter as far as Essig and Summerfield were concerned, but it didn’t. I had booked the show with which Bob had been playing, a week of one night stands extending out to Milwaukee. Il was obliged to stay behind be- cause, at Bob's say so, I was closing for him to box Choynski for Siler and Housman at the Armory in Chi- cago. You can imagine my feelings when I noticed in all the papers one day a dispatch from Milwaukee to the ef- fect that Bob had caught his hand in a door pamb, and hurt it so badly that he had to have it in a plaster cast. Here I smelled a rat. I got into communication with my repre- sentative with the show and he told me that Essig and Summerfield had been with Bob night and day. (Copyright. 1917.

Use of First-Year Men Will Strengthen Both Drake and Washington Teams. Coach R. B. Rutherford of Wash- ington University returned from Kansas City yesterday thoroughly satisfied with the result of his efforis at the meeting of Missouri Valley Conference coaches and faculty rep- resentatives, held there Friday and Saturday. During the two days, Rutherford completed or tentatively agreed upon games which will fill the greater part of Washington’s 1918 football sched- ule; he arranged the most attractive basket ball schedule that a Pikeway court team has had in many seasons, and he helped to carry through a piece of war time legislation that gives promise of bolstering the ma- roon athletic strength. All in all, quite a bit of activity considering that it was his maiden appearance among the Conference authorities. Six of Washington’s seven gridiron games for next season are practically settled. Three of these are M. V. C. games, one is with St. Louls U. and two are with outside teams. Drake will be played here on Nov. 9. This was not announced at the meeting, because the Des Moines school did not have an athletic dep representa- tive at Kansas City. The Kansas Aggies will also be played here. Missouri will entertain the Pikers at Columbia. Grinnell May Show Here. Grinnell College of Iowa and Hen- ry Kendall College of Oklahoma were both represented at the meet- ing to look after their’athletic inter- ests with conference teams. Both schools applied to Rutherford for football games and will in all proba- bility receive dates. Grinnell made formal application for membership inte the Missouri Valley Conference and its application will be considered. The Iowa college is certainly on an equal athletic Poting with many of the Valley me ers. In 1916 the foot- ball team defeated Drake, while this year both Drake and lowa were de- feated. As Iowa won from Ames, there is some logicality to Grinnell’s claim of the lowa state football championship. The real feature of the conference was the passing of the ruling that Washington and Drake may use freshmen on varsity athletic teams, whereas the other members of the ecireuit must retain the one-year rule. This rule is binding only during the war period. Because of their smaller size, Washington and Drake were injured far harder, compara- tively, than the other schools by en- listments and the draft. The rule goes into effect in September of 1918. Other schools will be allowed to schedule intercollegiate matches fol their freshmen teams. Rutherford thinks that many of the local and even out-of-town high School and preparatory school ath- letes will be attracted to Washing ton next season by the fact that they will have an opportunity to make the varsity squads. Carrying the case further, he thinks that if Washing- ton is strong in the Conference one season it will athletically “make” the school. The basket ball schedule includes every Conference team except Ames. Each of the fives except the Kausas Aggies will be played in St. Louis. The coaches discussed the advisabil- ity of using the glass back standards exclusively in preference to the boards, but no action was taken. — © OLD AGE KEEPS WILLARD FROM RISKING HIS RING TITLE, FULTON ASSERTS CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—The sporting public now looks to the boxing game for its diversion. And it has begun to ask what big Jess Willard is going. to do about defending his title. At the same time the backers of Fred Fulton are daring the champion to come out and meet their man. An offer of $30,000 awaits Willard’s deci- sion. Fulton, having proved himself wor- thy, Willard will have to fight or re- linquish his title. The followers of boxing will not stand for his circus business any longer. : Fulton has a marked advantage over Willard in age, Which may ac- count for Jess’ unwilligness to bat- tle. Willard claims that he was born Dec. 29, 1887. That would make Jess 30 years old this month. In Pottawatomie County, Kan., where Jess was born, they say that his birthday is Dec, 29, 1881, which woutd make him 36 instead of 30. Now comes Fulton with the state- ment that Jess is really 39, past the point of resistance, or where he can get in condition. Fulton also points to the fact that no man ever held the championship in the heavyweight division at this advanced age. — . — BRENNAN MEETS SMITH RACINE, Wis., Dec. Smith, a young Michigan heavy- weight measuring 6 feet 2 inches, will attempt to slam his way into ring fame here tonight. He will face Bill Brennan, a Chicagoan, who has @ long string of knockouts to his cfedit in the East. Smith has fought 86 con- tests and has only been beaten once. THAT PARAMOUNT CIGAR „When the clouds hang dark and heavy 10 Homer poned because of the heavy snowfall Ran Second With 17 Men Big Question of Coming Joint S ession, Proposed by National Commission Head, May Develop Hard Fight Owgoost Rocks the Po! By John E. Wray. ‘| - | * OCKING the old baseball boat seems’ to be the favorite pas- time, in these parlous days when ships of state are harder to steer than a submarine without a rudder. In this connection many of the basze- ball politicians aré looking on at the big show with some wonderment in observing that August Herrmann is seemingly contributing to the pre- vailing unsteadiness. In the past Herrmann has been something of a stabilizer. It was “Owgoost” to the rescue, whenever the devious. ways of banqueting led some baseball orator into statements that offended rival magnates. “Ow- goost” was the official adjuster of difficulties and it was for this rea- son that he was chosen head of the National Commission. 5 The fact that American League owners perimtted a National Leaguer to be helmsman of the National Com- mission thereby giving the Grandma League two votes to one, on the gov- erning board of baseball, testified to the confidence and esteem in which Herrmann has been held by every- body connected with the game. Nor has Herrmann ever been ac- cused of using his position to the detriment of the outnumbered Amer- ican League. There are those, in fact, who declare that Garry leans yackward and gives his own’ orgaun!- zation the worst of it, just to prove his ene 3 Within His Rights. MAGINE, then, the consternation in camp at sight of “Owgoost,” with his chest out and a chip on hig shoul- der. This is one long-range view we get of the difficulty between Herr- mann and President John K Tener of the National League. Herrmann seemingly exceeded his powers when, after conferring with President Ban Johnson of the American on bis own hok, he announced a joint session of the two major leagues and set the date at Dec. 13. The right to call National League meetings, is a power delegated to the president, and as a result this gen- eral impression spread abroad that Herrmann and Tener were fighting each other and that a row might de- velop in the National League meeting Tuesday in New York. As a matter of fact there is no fric- tion and mo cause for jealousy, as i. r main wa uct ly acting in his capacity as chairman at the National Commission when he endeavored to bring about the joint session. Now will there Le any move te un- seat Mr. Herrmann as chairman of the National Commission. The un- selfish interest of the Cincinnati magnate in baseball ig too well ap- preciated even by his opponents, for any such step to be taken,_ * * ** Herrmann Wants Low Limit. „ e ee wea also iesponsible for bringing up a subject that will probably form the most heated topic of discussion at both the sepa- rate an djoint league meetings— that o, reducing the player limit to 18.

Officials’ of the St. Léuis Soccer League, the players and newspaper men will hold a meeting at the Planters Hotel tomorrow night, when it will be definitely decided how to split the funds for the coming holl- day games with the soldiers of Camp Funston. This was decided at a meeting yesterday. The players seem unwilling to take a chance on being injured without receiving some compensation. Most of them favor playing one game of each series with the entire receipts to go to the soldiers, and the local kick- ers getting their annual split from tho other. The present arrangement with “Bull” Brannigan’s Funston team is for the soldiers to receive a flat guar- antee of $600, out «f wnich the eleven must pay its own railroad fare. As most of the players live in St. Louis there will be no hotel bills to pay. However, at the gathering tomor- row night it will be finally decided, with the decision of the majority ruling.

AUGUST HERRMANN. which indisputably prove <hat 18 men Johnson on this subject: “When the American League invad- ed St. Louis in 1902, the owner of the St. Louis Browns, Mr. R. L. Hedges, started on the well-known ‘shoe string.’ He had about $30,000 invested, plus a lot of nerve and con- fidence. Mr. Hedges knew very lit- tle about baseball, but he was start- ing out in a new venture in which he believed there was to be made considerable money. He shoved in his pile, taking a long chance and trusted to luck. And every one in this city knows the successful ending of Mr. Hedges’ career in the world of baseball, „The St. Louis Browns opened the season „April 23, 1902, with a great big daseball war on its hands. Play - ers from the National League had been taken by the American League. The fact that the players jumped con- tracts meant costly fights. There were many of them, too. But the American League went along just the same. Browns Finished Second. 66 HE most interesting thing in connection with the Browns of 1902 is the fact that the team went through the season with 17 players, finished second and made enough money to allow the owner of the club to start another season. The lineup of the Browns for the opening game in 1902 was as follows: BROWNS. Bark L. F. Hei 9 F. oe ee Wa 8. Gain Ry Donahue, P Moore, F. batted for “Besides the above mentioned play- ers, the Browng had Harper, Reidy, Sudhoff, Powell and Shields, pitchers; Donohue and Kahoe, catchers, and Friel, utility—18 in all. The point I wish to make very clear to all the calamity howlers is the fact that the Browns went through an entire sea- non with but 18 players, finished SEC- OND and made a little money! “The same players who took part in the opening game of the season against Cleveland on April 23 also played in the final double-header of the season, Sunday, Sept. 29, 1902, against Chicago. “teldy pitched the first game against Chicago and lost, 10 to 4. Willie Sudhoff beat Clark Griffith in the second battle, 10 to 9. “Another interesting point is that the schedule in 1902 called for only 140 ball games.” All of which bears out Owgoost’s theory that 18 men are enough, in these times of retrenchment, when all waste should be checked by hitherto reckless club owners. When Garry rocks the boat it’s generally in the right direction. — with the Mavat Masieves fighting it} 5 out with the St. Leos in the curtain raiser and the Ben Millers tackling the Innisfails in the closing encoun- ter.
