ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH count of guns being placed in the hands of Rumanian peasants by Rus- sian soldiers. The dispatch from the Post-Dis- patch correspondent in Petrograd ‘ has been mutilated in the transmis- sion and by the censorship, and the reference to the Queen of Rumania is not clear, as there has been no previous news of an uprising of Ru- manian peasants. An Associated Press dispatch from Petrograd, dated Dec. 22, said that Ambassador Francis and Raymond Robins: declared that Col. Anderson sought permission to get the automos biles to Jassy. Rumania, but they were held up in Russia and he then decided it was necessary for the mis- sion’s doctors to leave Rumania be- cause of the armistice and go to Mesopotamia, where they could do the most good. He then. requested Col. Kolpashnikoff to send the auto- mobiles to Rostov, whence they could be transhipped to Mesopotamia. An- derson later countermanded the or- der. An arduous overland journey would be required to get to Mesopo- tamia. Trotzky’s Charges Attributed to His Ignorance of Facts. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24,.—State Department officials declared today that the statements of Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki Foreign Minister, that the American Red Cross mission in Russia was giving aid to the op- ponents of the Bolsheviki Govern- ment, could be attributed only to his ignorance of the facts. A _ report from Ambassador Francis on the ar- rest of an attache of the Red Cross mission while in charge of a relief train has not reached the State De- partment. The: State Department does not be- lieve Trotzky will persist in his atti- tude, however, when he realizes the true state of affairs. -Arrangements were made in this country some time ago for strengthening the ambulance corps of Russia with 78 ambulances and other supplies much needed in certain districts. It was deemed ad- visable to send them via the Bu- manian frontier. This was done, with the’ approval of the Russian Red Cross. The incident of money which it was alleged Ambassador Francis hal offered and the insinuation that it Was intended as a bribe to the ene- mies of the Bolsheviki, had no other significance, it was announced, than humanitarian. It was merely the ordinary transfer of money through the embassy sent by the Red Cross and intended for relief work. The State Department regards the action of Trotzky as entirely un- warranted. TROTZKY ASKS FOR STATEMENT FROM FRANCIS Declares Ambassador Must Break Silence as to Activity of Red Cross Official. PETROGRAD, Saturday, Dec. 22. ~——Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki For- eign Minister, at a meeting of the revolutionary organizations assem- bled in Congress today, read docu- ments and telegrams which he de- clared contained evidence that Amer- icans were helping Gen. Kaledines, leader of the Don Cossacks. “Last night,” said Trotzky, ‘we found that American agents in Rus- sia were participating in the Kale- dines movement. We arrested Col. Kolpashnikoff, attached to the Amer- ican mission to Rumania, who was trying to get a train load of auto- mobiles, clothing and supplies. to Rostov. Among the documents was nm letter from David R. Francis (American Ambassador to Russia). requesting that the train be given free passage as it was bound for the mission at Jassy. “One letter from Col. Anderson (head of the American Red Cross mission to Rumania) to Kolpashni- koff, said that if money were needed Ambassador Francis was ready to advance 100,000 rubles on the ac- count of the Red Cross. We think that the American Ambassatior must break his silence now. “Since the revolution he has been the most silent diplomat in Petro- grad. Evidently he belongs to the Bismarck school, in which it was taught that silence is golden. He must explain his connection with this conspiracy. “We will tell all the Ambassa- dors ‘if you think you can with the help of American gold, under the guise of the holy mission of the Red _ Cross, support and bribe Kaledines, you are mistaken. if you think that you are no longer the representative of America but private adventurers and the heavy hand of the revolution will reach out after you. “I desire to let the representa- tives of all the foreign powers know that we are not so blind as to allow our feet to be trampled on. In the affair of Tchitcherin and Petroff, we have already had occasion to show the British Ambassador that the revolutionary government is not Jacking in dignity and pride, and that we are not acting under the in» fiuence of the Anglo-American hour- geoise, but have a pure principle = we will conquer or per- The audience cheered these utter- | ances wildly. Mme. Alexandra Kol- lantay, Bolsheviki Minister of Public Welfare, moved then that the meet- ing send delegates to France and England “to light the torch of a world revolution.” Raymond Robins, head of the per- manent Arherican Red Cross mission _ to Russia, on learning of the arrest _@f Kolpashnikoff prior to Trot- _ @ky's speech, offered to explain the matter to the Bolsheviki leader, but _ Trotzky refused to hear him unless - he came as the representative of the _@mbassy. Ambassador Francis, in a statement to the Russian press, de- elared that the embassy and the Red ‘Cross are in no way involved in the ter revolution. He says that Dipashnikoff received no funds In releasing the members of the \kKrain revolutionary staff the Bol- Pheviki Government said they had en suspected unjustly of complic Mot to give Kaledine’s Ameér- it . x : - leaSiactngs ie hay.

In Lorraine or reconnoitering parties captured a few Germans near Li- mey. “In the period of Dec. clusive, 19 German airplanes were brought down by our pilots; three others were forced to land in a dam- aged condition inside their own lines. In addition three enemy machines were brought down by the fire of our special guns. “On the evening of the 22nd Ger- man airplanes dropped two score of bombs on Dunkirk and its vicinity, killing one civilian and wounding three others, among them a woman and a child.’’ 11-20 in- Berlin Reports Capture of 30 Brit- i risoncrs.

Detective Henry Kling’s failure to comply with the ethics of police de- partments caused him to be arrested in Jefferson County Saturday and to be haled before a local Justice of the Peace on charges of impersonating an officer and with attempting to steal an automobile. - Kling had located, 6n a farm near Plattin, Mo., an automobile which he believed had been stolen from Louis C. Golterman of, Wright City, Mo. A man from Festus, Mo., from whom the farmer had purchased it, complied with a telephone request from Kling to meet him, but when he arrived he had the Sheriff and a Constable. They promptly placed Kling under arrest, refusing to ac- cept as genuine the St. Louis police badge which Kling exhibited. He was discharged when taken before a Justice of the Peace. It is a rule of police departments that an officer in another jurisdic- tion must first call on the local au- thorities. Kling had failed to do this.

A Pleasant Change—Suzette, Brother and Mother—‘‘La Jeune Fille Fohmche.’’ marched off down one of the roads leading out into the country in a @3 the next morning we left Bailleul, and the whole of our battaliou westerly direction. The weather was now excellent; so what with a prospect of a rest, fine weather and the departure from tle Wulverghem trenches, we were all very merry and bright, and ‘‘ going strong 99 all around. It seemed to_us if we had come out of some dark wet underworld into a bright, wholesome locality, suitable for the habitation of man. Down the long, straight, road we marched, hop yards bright-colored fields on either side, here and there passing prosperous- looking farms and estaminets; what a pleasant change it was from that ruined, dismal jungle we had so re- cently left! About three or four miles out we came to a village; the main road ran right through it, form- ing its principal street. On either side small lanes ran out at right an- gles into the different parts of the village. We received the order to halt, and soon learned that this was the place where we were to have our 10 days’ rest. A certain amount of billets had been arranged for, but, as is generally the case, the machine gun section have to search around for themselves; an advantage really, as they generally find a better crib this way than if somebody else found it for them. As soon as we were “dismissed”’ I started off on a billet search. The transport officer was again with me on the same quest. We separated, and each searched a different part of the village. The first house I went into was a dismal failure. An old woman of about 84 1 opened the door about six inches, and was some time before she permitted the aperture to widen sufficiently to allow me to go inside the house. A most dingy, poky sort of a place, 80 I cleared off to search for something better. As I crossed the farm yard behind, my _ servant, who had been conducting a_ search on his own, suddenly appeared round the corner of the large barn at the end of the yard, and came to- wards me. His Man Finds a Place. “T’'ve found a place over ‘ere, sir, [I expect you'll like.” ‘‘Where”?” I asked. “This way, sir!’’ and he led the way across a field to a gate, which we climbed. We then went down a sort of back lane to the village, and turned in at a small wicket gate lead- ing to a row of cottages. He led me up to one ip the center and knocked at the door. A woman opened it and I told her what I was looking for. She seemed quite keen for us to go there and asked if there was anyone else to come there with me I told her the transport officer would be com- ing there too, and our two servants. She quite agreed to this, and showed me the rooms we could have. They were extremely small, but we decid- ed to have them. “Them” consisted of one bedroom, containing two beds, the size of the room peing about 14 by 8,-and the front kitchen-sitting- room place, which was used by every- body in the house, and was about twice the size of the bedroom. I went away and found the transport officer, brought him hack and showed him the place. He thought it a good spot, s0 we arranged to fix up there, ee ee OR ~ dusty and i Our servants” started in to put things right for us, get our baggage there, and so on, whilst I went off to see to billets for the machine gun section. I had got them a pretty zood barn, attached to the farm I first called at, but I wanted to go and see that it was really large enough and suitable when they had all got in and spread themselves. I found that it did suit pretty well. The space was none too large, but I felt sure we wouldn’t find a better. There was a good field for all the limbers and horses adjoining, so on the whole it was quite a convenient place. The sectfon had already got to work with their cooking things, and had a fire going out in the field. Those gun- ners were a very self-contained, happy throng; they all lived together like a family, and were all very keen on their job. A Pleasant Surprise for Him. I returned to my cottage to see how things were progressing. My man had unrolled my valise and ptt all my things out and about in the room. I took off all my equipment, which I was still wearing— rack, haversacks, revolver, binocu- lars, map case, etc, and sat down in the kitchen to take stock of the situation. I now saw what the family consisted of; and by air- ing my feeble French, I found out who they were and what they did. The woman who had come to the door was the wife of a painter and decorator, who had been called up, and was in a French regiment some- where in Alsace. Another girl who was there was a friend, and really lived next door with her sistér, but owing to over- crowding, due to our servants and some French relatives, she spent most of her time in the house I was in. The ownef of the place was Ma- dame Charlet-Flaw, Christian name Suzette. The other two girls were, respectively, Berthe and Marthe. Ages of all three in the order I have mentioned them were, I should &ay, 28, 24 and 20. The place had, iI found, been used as billets before. I. discovered this in two ways. Firstly: On’the mantelpiece over the old stove I saw ae collection of many kinds of regimental badges, with a quantity of English maga- zines. Secondly, after I had been talking for some time, Suzette an- swered my remarks with one of her stock English sentences, picked up from some former lodgers, “And very nice, too,’’ a phrase much in vogue at that time. He Meets the Cure. The transport officer, who had been out seeing about something or other, soon returned, and with him came the regimental doctor, who had got his billets all right, but had come along to see how we were fixed up. <A real good chp he was, one of the best. All six of use now sat about in the kitchen and talked over things in general. We were a very cheery group. The transport offi- cer, doctor and myself were all thor- oughly in the mood for enjoying this 10 days’ rest. » To live amongst ordi- nary people again, and see the life of even a village, was refreshing to us. We had a pretty easy afternoon, and all had tea in that kitchen, after which I went out and round to look up my old pals in A Company. They had, I found, got hold of the cure’s house, the village parson’s rectory, in fact. It was a square, plain-looking house, standing very close to the church, and they all seemed very comfortable there. The cure him- self and his housekeeper only had three rooms reserved for them- selves, the rest being handed over to the officers of A Company. I stayed round there for a bit, having a talk and a smoke, and we each of us remarked in turn, about every five minutes, what a top-hole thing it was that we had got this 10 days’ lrest. I then went back to our cottage, where I had a meal with the trans- port officer, conversing the while with Suzette, Berthe and Marthe. I don’t know which I liked the best of these three, they were all so cheery and hospitable. Marthe was the most interesting from the pictorial point of view. She was so gipsy-like to look at: brown-skinned, large dark eyes, exceedingly bright, with a sort of sparkling, wild look about her. I called her ‘‘La jeune fille farouche’”’ (looked this up first before doing so), and she was always called this after- wards. It means “the young wild girl;’’ at least I hope it means that. The doctor came back again after dinner, and we all proceeded to fill the air in the small kitchen with songs and tobacco smoke. The trans- port officer was a “Corona Corona” expert, and there he would sit with his feet up on the rail at the side of the stove, smoking one of these zeppelins of a cigar, till we all went to bed. There was an heir to the estate in that cottage—one Andre, Suzette’s son, aged about 5. He went to bed early, and slept with wonderful pre- cision and persistence whilst we were making noise enough to wake the Cure a hundred yards away. But, when we went to bed, this little de- mon saw fit to wake, and continue a series of noises for several hours. He slept in a small cot alongside Su- zette’s bed, so it was her job, and not mine, to smack his head. Anyway, we all managed very com- fortably and merrily in those billets, and I look back on them very much as an oasis in a six months’ desert. XXXVI.

SCENERY IS SPECTACULAR Production Tends to Dress Rather Than to Scope of Perfect Drama. By RICHARD L. STOKES. HEN a cinema playwright is W so fortunate as to have at his disposal a treasury of $500,000 and a cast of 15,000 per- sons—and these are the boasts re- garding the William Fox presenta- tion of Theda Bara in the latest film enterprise, “Cleopatra’’—one surely has a right to expect a monumental work of art, utilizing to the full all of those telling new resources of technique which the photoplay com- mands and which the spoken drama can never rival. A painful sense of waste, in the lavishing of rich resources without proportionate results, was experi- enced at yesterday’s first St. Louis showing of the work at the Shubert- Garrick Theater. It proved for the most part a transcription and re- hash of Shakspeare’s “Julius Caesar” and ‘“‘Antony and Cleopatra,”’ togeth- er with incidents from John Dry- den’s “All for Love.” Such variations in plot as the adapter ventured to introduce could nearly always have been accom- plished equally well on the theatri- cal stage, had any dramatist been so unskillful as to employ them. In lieu ofthe splendors of language in which the poets clothed the subject, the changes often served merely to degrade the characters and stultify the action. In truth, one could scearce- ly help wondering whether there is any man alive who really knows how to build dramafor the movies, or whether in the big photoplay organi- zations there is an inkling of the ex- istence of a library of books for teaching the elements of plot con- struction. Production Well Dressed... There can be no quarrel with the external dress of the production, which is sumptuous almost to an un- paralled degree. Such scenes as the Roman forum, the City of Alexan- dria, and the Egyptian desert with the Pyramids and Sphinx, are wond- ers of pictorial reproduction. There are impressive mass movements, too, as in the return of Cleopatra’s army from the desert, the march of the legions of Octavius and the battle in Alexandria—though the latter was rather a struggle of scuffling mobs than the warfare of disciplined Ro- man troops. The costuming, likewise, was mag- nificent, and in correctness would no doubt enrapture an antiquarian. The climax of the work, the sea battle at Actium, had its points of beauty, especially in the burning of Antony's fleet. But it may be doubt- ed whether ancient naval warfare could have been a thing so inert as this. We read in the old histories of triremes maneuvering, feinting, dodging and backing, all in the swift- est activity. Here we had rather barges laden with bravos’ which out of strong, efficient marching capabiilties, and are also apt to get slack all round. These rests, there- fore, come periodically to all at the front, and are, as it were, tonics. If men stayed long enough in trenches, I should say, from my studies in evo- lution, that their legs would slowly merge into one sort of finlike tail, and their arms into seal-like flap- pers. In fact, time would convert them into intelligent sea lions, and render them completely in harmony with their natural life. Our tonic began by being taken, one does after meals, twice daily, In the morning the battalion generally went for a long route march, and in the afternoon practiced military training of various kinds in the fields about the village. My whole time was occupied with machine-gun training. Morning and afternoon my sections and I went off out into the country, and selecting a good va- rlegated bit of land proceeded to go through every phase of machine-gun warfare. We practiced the use of these weapons in woods, open fields, along hedges, etc. It was an inter- Continued on Next Page. ‘ drove against one another and hung there motionless, while the crews hacked and smote, someone every few moments being thrown with a splash into the water. These sea on land, But scenery and costumes no more constitute a dramatic masterpiece in the movies than they do in_ the theater. There must be an architec- ture in the plot, a scientific employ- ment of the stresses and strains of motives. In this respect, “Cleopa- tra” has little reason for being, after the skillful structures reared by Shakspeare and Dryden from the same materials. They at least were not guilty of placing arches where there was nothing to support, of be- ginning facades and leaving them hang unfinished in the air. Cleopatra As Politician. Cleopatra appears at the beginning as a profound politician, a woman wielding her wiles to obtain domin- ion through Julius Caesar, whom she urges to claim a crown in Rome so that they may rule together over the world. No doubt this incident has no historical basis, and Caesar was by no means the man to need any- one, especially a woman, to show him the paths,of ambition. But one immediately sensed an artistic motive in the character of Cleopatra which might run through the play, unifying all of its incidents. As she did with Caesar, so might she have wrought with Pompey and An- tony, only to meet a fatal repulse at the hands of the cold and calculat- ing Octavius. i But the Egyptian Queen never again appears in this character. Her one aim with Antdény is to lap him in such luxuries of pleasure that he will forget the name of Rome, and her motive in this case is not ambi- tion, but passion. Instead of trying her weapons of fascinati upon Oc- tavius, she even attempts to procure bis assassination. She should have been consistently one character or “eg she could not have been otn, Waste of Opportunities. , The most striking waste of oppor- tunities was in the. portrayal of An- tony, who was so debased that in his final fall he could arouse no sym- pathy. Shakspeare and Dryden are at great pains to dignify his charac- ter, dwelling on his bounty and fi@el- ity to his friends, his magnanimous disposition and the devotion he com- mands from his followers, as well as his performances in the past as a valorous soldier and great General. Both poets make his friend—in the one case Eros and the other Ventid- ius—slay himself rather than obey Antony’s command to kill him. This ennobling touch is omitted in the moyie version, and Antony remains nothing more than a weakling, an incorrigible rake, who by all means deserves his fate. Cleopatra also dies alone, unac- companied, as in the two dramas, by her attendants, Iras and Charmian. The latter, in fact, is for a time the soul of a conspiracy to assassinate her mistress. Many other defects might be indicated. Antony’s jeal- ousy of Dolabella in “All for Love” is here degraded tnto jealousy of a slave, Kephren; and to one remem- bering the rhetoric of Antony’s rage in Dryden, there was something com- ical in his casual and elegant de- mand on Cleopatra: “What about Kephren ?” In Shakspeare the false report of Cleopatra’s death is brought to An- tony just after he has driven her away with curses; in Dryden, after they have quarreled over Dothbella. Antony thus has reason to believe that the Queen has taken her life. In the screen version they have Just become reconciled and Antony has no cause to believe the messenger; he could have found out the truth for himself by running up a few steps; mstead he halted and stabbed himself. Such credulity is not plaus- ible. Spectacular Scenery. In view of such faults of structure and many more, the suspicion would not down that the purpose of the work was not so much to produce a perfect drama as to afford scope for spectacular feats of scenery and most of all to exploit a liberal dis- closure of epidermis on the part of Miss Bara, one of the most gener- ous in this respect of the decadent movie school known as “vampires.” It suffices to say that she far sur- vampires, so that the task of the po- lice censor would not be to eliminate this or that scandalous scene, hut nearly every act in which she ap- peared. Keen-eyed spectators be- lieved they detected in one scene that she wore skin-tight fleshings; if so, this slight concession to decorum was everywhere else most scrupu- lously disguised. ——— Camp Funston Special Train Via Burlington Route, leaving St. Louis 9:30 p. m., December 25, arriv- ing Kansas City 6 a. m., Camp Fun- ston 11:18 a. “m., December 26.

Dr. Smith's telephone rang at 4:45. a.m. The voice on the wire was Dr. Whittlesey’s. “I want you to come over to my house right away and bring Mrs. Gerding with you,” he said. Dr. Smith asked the reason for this urgent call and Dr. Whittlesey replied: “You'll find out when you get here.” The Mrs. Gerding referred to was Mrs. G. A. Gerding of 1018 Dolman street. She and her husband had acted as housekeeper and caretaker ef Dr. Whittlesey’s old-fashioned three-story home in which he had years ago. Dr. Smith hurried to the Whit- tlesey home, taking with him Mr. and Mrs. Gerding. The doors were locked. Forcing their way into tho house, they found Dr. Whittlesey dead on a couch in his office with a ctullet wound over his heart. On a table was a note in Dr. Whit- tlesey’s handwriting. A $10 bill was pinned to it. The note read: “Mrs. Gerding: Kind friend—I leave this money for your immediate assistance in laying me away; for any slight expense, but not for the funeral, and you may keep. the change for your trouble ”’ Dr. Smith said Dr. Whittlesey had been ill about three weeks and that two weeks ago he made a will which he placed in the custody of a trust company. : Dr. ‘Whittlesey was reputed to own Pose estate in various parts of the city.

HUNDREDS ARE DELAYING Registrants Warned Lawyers Cannot Care for All on Final Day. Frank Y. Gladney, member of the legal advisory board in the Twenty- seventh Ward board, says in a let- ter to the Post-Dispatch that unless registrants in the ward bring their questionnaires to the board’s quar- ters as soon as they receive them, it will be almost impossible to help men to answer questions. Gladney said if a registrant keeps his questionznaire until near the last - @ay before filling it out and return- ing it, there would be congestion and it would be difficult to advise every- one in such a short time. Gladney’s jetter follows: “As a permanent member of the legal advisory board for ward 27, 1 desire through your columns to ex- plain the great and increasing diffi- culty the board is having with regis- trants in the ward. There are in round numbers 4000 questionnaires to be answered and filed within 27 days from Dec. 15. About 200 ques- tionnaires are mailed on each suc- cessive business day. “Registrants are inclined to wait until near the end of the seventh day before attempting to fill out their answers to the questionnaires. The result is that at the end of four or five days there are 500 or 600 men who have the questionnaires in their hands unanswered, and all expect to receive assistance after working hours, which means between 7 and 9:30 p. m. Our experience shows it takes about 40 minutes to fill out each questionnaire. Sixteen Lawyers Engaged. “We have 16 lawyers engaged at the task and we cannot possibly use more for lack of space. The regis- trants neglect the matter all day and then come in impossible numbers at night and have to be sent away with a request to return.

Men Blame Employers. “It is difficult to comprehend the attitude of an employer who will not allow his employe to take off suffi- cient time during the day to answer and file his questionnaire. Every evening we have many men who say they came at night because their em- ployers will not allow them to take the necessary time off during the day to answer the questions. “If the employers by any means can be induced to instruct their em- ployes to take time and have the questionnaire completed and filed on the day it is received, then it is pos- sible we may complete the work. If on the other hand registrants con- tinue to hold up their questionnaires and come in the evening, I repeat it will be wholly impossible for the necessary assistance to be rendered. “Hereafter the board will render assistance first to those who have ap- plied for it,most promptly after re- ceiving their questionnaire. If any go unserved, it will be those who have neglected the matter longest and un- til the last hours.of the dav.” JUST THINK OF THE JOY you can bring to some poor girl or boy, on Christmas day by contributing now to the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fes- tival Fund.

BAIRNSFATHER TELLS OF VISIT WITH A CHARMING BELGIAN FAMILY Continued From Preceding Page. back at night, one would = scarcely imagine that they had been to a cricket match, or on the annual out- ing. Well, the “‘tumbril,” as we called CASTORIA For Infants and Children in Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of GLp/ Ulan it, arrived each day for nearly 4 week, and we drove off gaily to the appointed spot and saturated our- selves in the characteristics of the land we were shortly to attack. In the mornings, before we started, I took the machine-gun sections out into the fields. and by mapping out a similar landscape to the one we were going to attack, I rehearsed the coming tribulation as far as possible. My gunners were a pretty efficient lot, and I was sure they would give a good account of themselves on “der Tag.’’ We practiced bolting across a plowed field, and coming into ac- tion, until we could do it in record time. My Sergeant and senior Cor- poral were both excellent men. The whole battalion were now in excellent trim, and ready for any- thing that came along. A date had been fixed for the ‘show,’ and now, day by day. we were rapidly ap- proaching it. It was Friday, I re- member, when, as we were all sitting in our billets thinking that we were to leave on Sunday, a fresh thunder- bolt arrived. A message was sent round to us all to stand-to and be ready to move off that evening. Be- fore the appointed day! What could be up now? 1 was full of enthusi- asm and curiosity, but was rather hampered by having been inoculated the day before, and was feeling a bit quaint in consequence. However, I pulled myself together, and. set about collecting all the machine gun- ners, guns and accessories. We said good-by to the fair ones at the bil- lets, and by about 5 o’cloeck in the eevning the whole battalion, transport and all, was lined up on the main road. Soon we moved off. Why were we going before our time? Where were we going to? No- body knew except the Colonel, but it was not long before we knew as well. —_ Tas : 4 Ll | | ae v4 ij pl _ Hr or i }* \ Hanan 720-722 _—— — istmas Greeti -— —-— — ago ngs ait Cine: a ae - & Son Olive St. | a ge en — ee } Honor | ROLL 100% RED Cross The following firms and corporations have gone “‘Over the Top”’ with 100% RED CROSS Xmas Membership in St. Louis by every employe becoming a member.

Us fellows at the front have little time to ourselves, so we are unable to write in- dividually to our friends as we would in civil life, so please print the following: SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Nov. 1917. : “My Dear Friends: With the kindness : of the editor I am enabled to extend my | sincere season’s greetings and I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. “Even if I am far away from my folks and dear friends, you may trust that on that eventful day my heart and thoughts will be with you. I only trust and pray : that ere a year elapses we will have accom- i: plished our ends and the boys will be able to enjoy their Christmas of 1918 at home. “The boys all join in extending their sin- cere greetings. i “Thanking you in advance for your kind 4 favor. SAM 8S. STODDER, ; “Company B, Twelfth Engineers (Ry.), American Expeditionary Force, in France.” 23, Doing Their “Best.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The street car service, or rather lack of service, is getting to be such an insuf- oa ’ ferable nuisance that something must be done to abate it. Everybody is suffering and everybody is kicking, but there is no concerted action to compel the company do at least part of its duty to the pub- c. : Last night it took me from 6:30 to 7:15, an hour and three-quarters, to get from : Eleventh and Olive streets to St. Louis and Euclid avenues, over an hour of which time was spent standing in the cold at transfer points. Speaking of the Cass line, it is a com- mon occurrence in the morning for cars to be filled up when they get to Euclid avenue, and all passengers getting on from there east have to stand all the way down- town. In the evening, from 6 o'clock on, cars are crowded by the time they get to Olive street, and tired workers are again compelled to stand all the way home. This is to say nothing of the inadequate heat- ing, the foul air of overcrowded cars and the discomforts generally all have to sub- mit to. Such is the service during the rush hours. When that is past, cars are laid off and the interval between them is any- where from 10 minutes to half an hour. For this miserable service the company demands full fare, in other words, it is ob- taining money under false pretensc. ' The Post-Dispatch has already earned the thanks of the community for the splen- did work it has done in sidetracking the infamous franchise bill. If it will lend its further influence in devising ways and means to correct some of the abuses men- tioned above, the service will surely be ap- j | LAUNCHING OF THE 1000 SHIPS. tracts made with the Federal Shipping Board. our carrying fleet. a total of 5,517,100 tons of shipping, of which 1,344,900 is wooden tonnage and the rest steel or composite tonnage. This summary of work done by the Govern- ment for offsetting sumbarine destruction is im- pressive. Appreciation of the revolution wrought can be gained only by comparison with the scale on which vessel building went on prior to 1917. But these figures are not the most impres- sive part of the statements made by Chairman E. N. Hurley before the Senate Committee. The larger conception of the importance of the work is obtained from descriptions of what has been done in the way of permanent facilities created for continuing construction in the future. Of the yards of which the board has availed itself, 58 were in existence at the time the board began operations. Many of them were small repair yards of meager equipment, to which the Government contracts supplied incentive for im- mediate expansion. No less than 74 new shipyards have been or are being established for the purpose of executing contracts for the Government. Even the state- ment that 132 yards are. now under contract relations with the Government for turning out tonnage does not enable the magnitude of the full operations to be grasped. Some of the new yards, like the Newark plant near New York and the Hog Island plant near Philadelphia, will have a capacity approximating that of all the yards in the country prior to 1917. It is said that one yard almost ready to begin work will be able to build 50 ships at a time. The vastness of the accomplishments during the period of greatest railroad development in this country, from about 1870 to 1880, has long been dwelt on as highly illustrative of the national qualities of energy and adequacy to great tasks. The ac¢omplishments of that wonderful period are being eclipsed by the preparations for giving America the lasting paramountcy in ocean trans- port after the war. hp Lp >. i i War mementoes everyone should have at home: Liberty Bonds, thrift stamps, a food pledge and a Red Cross membership. = = = 4 4 - RUSSIA’S DEGRADATION. Trotzky boasts in an interview with the Petro- grad correspondent of the Paris Matin, that “we are sole masters of Russia, and we will do with “| her what we will.” For the time being this is unquestionably true, and what the Bolsheviki are trying to do with Russia is to destroy both society and civilization. As William English Wallings explained the Bolsheviki program in a letter printed in the New York Times, ‘“‘Not imme- diate peace but immediate civil war’ is its object. Hence the Lenines and the Trotzkys hasten to make peace with the Kaiser in the belief that it would be a means to fulfillment of their fanatical campaign to reduce Russia to anarchy prepara- tory to reducing the world to anarchy. It is possible, of course, that the Lenines and the Trotzkys are as they seem and that they actually believe that nations can be governed by lunatics for lunatics. But even madmen usu- ally have some method in their madness, and the policies adopted by the Bolsheviki regime in Rus- sia are susceptible of a much simpler explanation than that of lunacy. These men were taken to Russia by Germany and they are doing Ger- many’s work. It is the dirtiest work that any- body has done in the war, and men who are capable of doing it so well are capable of under- standing the degradation of their conduct. Russia has been given over to human vermin and the democracies that are battling against Prussian militarism must make the best of it. They at least know the worst. All the damage that:can be done has been done. There need be no talk of hostile measures on the part of the allies against the present Russian Government for that is out of the question now. There is nothing to do but wait and see how the Russian people finally solve their own problem. We ought not to become hostile to Russia until it is demonstrated that the only governing force there is a force that works for treachery and has sold Russia to the German autocracy. hh di — Se The Socialist press in Germany is denounc- ing the Bolsheviki as traitors to the Russian rev- olution, indicating what manner of pariahs have flocked to the standard of Lenine and Trotzky. —— i i i 2 THE UNSEEING WATCHMAN. There’s a new evil in the land—the watchman evil. Not a new one, exactly, either, but the war has drawn attention to it, as to many other evils, and the Fire Marshals’ Association of North America, in convention assembled, has defined it and named it. The evil is the product of the practice among manufacturers, warehousemen and others of in- trusting the protection of their plants at night to superannuated employes who make the rounds of the clock stations, but afford little real pro- tection. The big Baltimore fire is ascribed to the fact that to one watchman was assigned the guarding of a pier 900 feet long containing mil- lions of dollars’ worth of war supplies. General Manager Mallalieu of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, declares that there are few subjects in fire prevention so important as the abrogation of the time-honored custom of inefficient watchmen. ‘‘Watchmen,” he says, “should be picked men. They should be intelli- gent, courageous and physically active. They should be sufficent in number to furnish real One ship has now been completed under con- In addition 49 vessels which were being built for receive special training for their important duties and this training should include knowledge of fire alarms, fire prevention and fire protection. They should never be engaged except upon un- mistakable evidence of character, and they should be paid the salaries that will command private owners, many of them foreigners, and which were seized by the board, have also been completed, adding about 305,000 tons to date to Further contracts made by the board call for such qualification.” Utilization of ment of watchmen who can watch. 7 = SS i i LLOYD GEORGE INDORSES WILSON. racy in Russia. the war aims of Great Britain. dent, in its gigantic attempt to subjugate the world. since the Russian betrayal and the Italian defea capitalize those moral advantages.

Unless that determination is held to _unflinchingly there can be no peace that is more | than peace in name. hp Li Li a ae One shipyard in the East will soon be able to turn out 28 five-thousand-ton vessels every two months and this is only one of many shipyards in this country. = = = ae — a ae A DANGEROUS TENDENCY. A Sunday magazine writer throws a glamor over the divorce which Mrs. Robert Edeson is attempting to get, so that Edeson may be free to wed another woman. as one of “‘the small vanguard of advanced women who have given up their husbands to other women for the happiness of all.’’ She is quoted as saying: “I love my husband, I will always love him. But I will not stand in the way, of his happiness.” She is 88 years old. Thé other woman is said to be but 24, and Mrs. Edeson is further quoted as saying of this new fancy of her husband’s: “She is so pure, so brilliant, so youthful, so loved by him, that my own life has been an image of aches and fears and longing which threatened my mind.” | As an occasional incident, this might be dis- missed as simply deplorable. But the frequency of such cases indicates a tendency that menaces society. Condoned and copied extensively, it means abrogation of the idea of duty in the marital relation. It reads interestingly when the action is by wealth and education and social standing. But without these concomitants, practiced by the average man and woman, would it not appear to be merely a riot of the emotions and passions? And what of the children? It is manifestly un- true that the easy abandonment of duty and causeless breaking of the marriage vows is con- ducive to their happiness. ‘= = * The Turks before leaving Jerusalem looted the Holy Sepulchre Church, living up to the best tra- ditions of a German retreat. MAKING ANGLERS OF OUR CONVICTS. A. C. McKibben, Secretary of the State High- way Board, is the Missourian credited with the idea of utilizing our convicts for increasing the fish supply and reaching a solution of the food problem. Of course we have known all the time what it would do for the reformation of the con- vict to give him a ¢hance at seasons of the year when they’re bitin’. The man who has got up early in morning and dug bait and provided him- self with a cane pole and spent the hours of day watching a cork on placid waters is incapable of treasons, felonies, misdemeanors, sinister plots or Strategems of any sort. The unfortunate thing heretofore was that no economic importance at- tached to the net output. A change in times and conditions having brought a large commercial value to the little ones that count in the basket as well as to the big ones that fail to get away, why should not our penal authorities make a small appropriation for fish hooks and fish lines and let human nature do the rest? The shores of our rivers and lakelets lined with convicts intently engaged in augmenting matert- als for the regulation menu of Friday and the new Hooverized menu of Tuesday wauld be a joy- ful sight for Missourians and a part of the patri- otic planning for making us invincible in the war. = = — A Marble Countenance.

Christmas giving: Exchanging something you want, but can’t afford to buy, for something you don’t want from somebody who can’t afford to give it to you. A man loses his illusions about women with his baby teeth, his sen- timent about them with his top hair and his curiosity about them with his last breath. Long after a woman has forgotten a man’s last name she still remem- bers his first kiss. When is a lie not a ie?

The tax on a bachelor’s income Is not heavy, when he looks at it as “the price of peace.” This is the psychological time of year when the bachelor with an empty hearth and the married man with empty pockets scarcely know whether to envy or to pity each other.

He loves her because she is the very spirit of home and. family. He loves her because of the appeal her utter dependence makes on his manhood. But she is no companion to him. She bores him to extinction with her prattle. In the early days of their marriage he gave up trying to tell her stories even in words of one syllable, so she could understand them, and diagraming jokes so she would see the point. His soul went lonely and hungry until he met Cynthia, who is his soulmate just as Mary is his body mate. He loves Cynthia for her wit and wisdom, for her quick response to his every mood, for her ability to take his half-formed thought and juggle with it and find new meanings in it and new endings to it, for her under- standing of the books and plays and pictures and music he loves. And there's Ethel who is neither domestic as Mary is, nor intelligent as Cynthia‘is, but who has the face of a flower and the figure of a reed in the wind. He is attracted to her just because she is a thing of beauty. T in his love and lay bits of his heart on the altars of different friends when we desire to worships instead of concentrating his devotion on one seems horrible to us. Yet that is exactly what we do among our friends. We love one friend for one quality, and another for another quality that is perhaps entirely opposite, and we seek these different friends when we desire to) gratify our different moods. ‘More- ‘tempting to explain why they do, and the answer seems to be that it takes a composite lady-love, made up of all feminine charms and vir- tues, to satisfy a man’s ideal; this being the case, one poor, lone, faulty female can hardly expect to be IT. If all women were born domestic and devoted, brilliant and beautiful, one might suffice to hold a fickle. mas- culine fancy. Otherwise it’s a job for a bunch. i Women find it hard to realize that a man’s heart is built on the double and triple expansion plan, so that he can love several women at the same time, because they, themselves, are concentrationalists. is the whole universe to her. Other men do not ex- ist for her. She does not, like a man, seek in other men the charms and qualities he may not possess. She endows him with them out of her imagination. ._ Therefore, the woman is torn with jealousy when the man she loves is attracted in even the smallest degree to some other woman. She can’t un- derstand how he can love her and yet admire other women, how he can love her and like to be seen with Ethel because she is beautiful, or en- joy talking to Cynthia because she is entertaining. : Still less can the woman under- stand how a man may still love her with the deepest affection of which he is capable and yet now and then, in response to some vagrant impulse, wander into a flirtation or become the victim to some: passing attrac- tion of the vampire who lures him HAT a man shall be eclectic oe —_ sh Ae a> oo ee ‘ ae babs hdd ahege” abe cnant ; ; “ dphtupethadamem uneoumnatiee ee . . ‘ kennel: ie Soa tyechoneneeapeadpiia pension eaten te On ee Se ae ne erates 8 tidins tom Prag tind tty we * , ’ Ws @ woman loves a man he. through the senses.

Lewis sold his machine gun to the English army.’”’ : “And he didn’t have to be such a crackerjack high-grade A number one salesman to do that neither,” Morris commented, “because if his only talking point to the English ex- perts was that the American ex- perts had turned down his gun, y’understand, the English experts would give him a big order without ah asking him to unpack his sam- ples.”’ “Sure I know,” Abe said, “but if Col. Lewis would of had the interests of America at heart, Mawruss, he should ought to have offered his ma- chine gun to the English experts first, understand me, and after he had got out of the observation ward, which the English experts would just naturally send him to as a dangerous American crank with a foolish idea for a machine gun, y’understand, the American experts would have taken his entire output at his own terms.” ‘After all, you can’t kick about such mistakes being made, because that’s the trouble about being a new beginner in any business,’”’ Morris said. “It don’t make no difference whether it would be war or pants, Abe; you start out with one big liability, and that is the advice prop- osition. Twice as many new begin- ners goes under from accepting what they thought was good advice as from accepting what they thought was good accounts, Abe, and them fellers on the Shipping Commission deserves a great deal of credit that they already made such fine prog- ress. éé OU can just imagine what this here Hurley which he used to was in the railroad business must be up against from his friends which has been in the shipbuilding business for years already. . The chances is that every time Mr. Hur- ley goes out on the street, one of them old shipbuilding friends comes up to him with that good-advice ex- pression on his face and says ‘Nu, Hurley. How are they coming?’ which it don’t make a bit of differ- ence to such a feller whether Mr. Hurley would say: ‘SO, SO,’ ‘PRET- TY GOOD,’ or ‘ROTTEN,’ y’under- stand, he might just so well save his breath, on account the good advice feller is going to get it off his chest anyhow. : “*You’re lucky at that,’ the good- tually go to work and make up for the fall trade a line of whalebacks in pastel shades? Honestly, Hurley, I must say I am surprised at you.’ And for the next 20 minutes he gives Hurley the names and dates of six voiuntary bankrupts, all of whom started in the shipbuilding business by making up a line of whalebacks in pastel shades, together with the details of just what them fellers is doing for a living today selling cigars on commission downwards. “Naturally, Hurley hustles roight back to the shop and tells the fore- man that if they ain’t already start- ed on that last batch of whalebacks in pastel shades, not to mind, and he spends the rest of the afternoon get- ting his operators busy on a couple of hundred oil-burning boats in solid colors, like reds, greens and blues. The consequence is that the next day at lunch another old friend comes up to him, which used to was be in the shipbuilding business when the rec- ord from New York to Liverpool was 19 days 10 hours and 45 minutes, y’unerstand, and says: ‘Nu, Hurley? How is the busy little ship builder to- day ?”’ ‘**Pretty good,’ Hurley says. I’m just getting to work on a big line of oil burners in solid colors like reds, greens and blues.’ ** ‘No!’ the old ship builder says. “ ‘Sure,’ Hurley tells him, and after they have said ‘No!’ and ‘Sure’ a couple of times, it appears that if a new beginner in the ship-building business lays in a stock of plain colored oil-burning boats, he might just so well kiss himself good-by with his ship-building business and be done. with it. Also it seems that the only line of goods for a new be- ginner in the ship-building business to specialize in is whalebacks in pastel shades, Abe, and that’s the way it goes.” _ “At that we're a whole lot better off as England was when she started in as a new beginner in the war busi- ness,’ Abe commented. “Mr. Hur- ley was anyhow in the railroad busi- ness when he took over the ship- building job, and we've got other men which were high-grade dry goods and hardware men before they threw up their business to help the Government branch out into the war business, y'understand, but if we would got to depend on somebody who was trying to run a shipyard with the experience he had got from being national lawn tennis cham- pion for the years 1900 to 1916 in- clusive, or if President Wilson had the idee that for a man to be the right man in the right place, y’un- derstand he should ought to have the gumption and business: ability which a feller naturally picks up jn the course of being an Ear! or a Duke, understand me, the best we could hope for would be a fleet of six rebuilt tugboats by the fall of 19560.” “Tt wasn’t England's fault that she made such a mistake, Abe,” Morris said. ‘Up to the time Germany start- ed this war, it used to was considered that if nations did got to go to war, y’understand, the best way to go about it was to put {t in charge of a good sport like a tennis champion would naturally have to be, and as wm, threshes it, grinds it into * and raises the price, all in one mMon.”"—Tife, r ra ei,” ot eed oS.

LIBERTY BREAD POPULAR The unusual interest manifested in our offer of prizes for Liberty Bread with Seedless Raisins has proved that Seed- less Raisins Improve All Bread. The request of our Government that all Americans save wheat to send abroad has made it necessary to devise Lib- erty Breads of various kinds. Some are made of wheat flour and corn meal; some of wheat and rice. Others are mixtures of wheat flour with rye, barley, oatmeal or po- tatoes. SUN-MAID SEEDLESS RAISINS improve all these breads tremendously and give added food value. Even the cheapest of the Liberty Breads are made delicious and most palatable when these delicious Seedless Raisins are added. ; Bl., St. Louis, Mo.

McGill, owner : of the Indianapolis American Asso- ciation club, informing the Cardinal executive that McGill had given Jack Hendricks permission to make further efforts to secure the job as “manager of the Knot Holers for next -seasgn. According to Rickey, McGill did not say what sort of a proposition he would allow Hendricks to make Rickey, but merely stated that the --manager of the Hoosiers had his per- : mission to dicker further with Rickey. Rickey, however, stated emphat- ically that he had lost all interest in the Hendricks matter. He does not know what the latest proposition from Hendricks will be, but he reit- erated that he was no longer seeking Hendricks. He will, however, enter- tain any offer Hendricks may make him. : Won’t Buy Release. . | The Cardinals will not pay $5000 to | James C. McGill for the release of Jack Hendricks. Rickey said this morntng that this offer had been per- . manently withdrawn. If Jack Hen- dricks comes to St. Louis as man- ager he will not cost the Cardinals one cent. “IT became if with the Hendrickg matter as soon i -~as I discovered its status in Louis- ville,” said Branch. “However, at that time, I wanted Hendricks to manage the Cardinals and I offered to give’ McGill $5000 to release him. I have now withdrawn that offer and it will not be renewed. ey “IT do not care now whether I get | Jack Hendricks or not. In fact, I ats have another man under serious con- _., sideration, the first person I have giv- en a place in my mind for the past several weeks. I have not received any communication from Hendricks, although McGill’s telegram would in- dicate that I will very shortly. This newest man that I have under con- sideration has a far better chance of ‘landing the job than has Jack Hen- ..-dricks under present conditions.” Thus the aspect of the entire Hen- dricks deal has switched about. Pre- viously, it had been Rickey seeking .-Hendricks. Now the latter is pursu- ing the former. Rickey took occasion to deny that he had an engagement yesterday with Charles H. Weeghman, president of the Cubs, who was a visitor in this city Saturday. It had been reported that Weeghman and Rickey were to confer yesterday morning. This was impossible, however, as Weeghman left St. Louis Saturday night. — No Offer for Hornsby. A story from Chicago this morning earried the information that Weegh- at: man had returned there yesterday and was wenrec as saying that he still had hoes of obtaining Rogers Horns- by. The story further stated that Weeghman was “understood” to have offered $75,000 for the Cardinal star, which Rickey refused. Weeghman said Rickey’s talk of a trade for Hornsby did not interest him because he did not feel that he could spare any of his players.

As soon as I had finished paying off my help, I went around and saw that my men had put up for the night at a hotel near the Broad Street Sta- tion. When I reached Green's Hotel the clerk told me to go right up to Fitz’s rooms, as he was very anxious to see me. It was then that he told me of his run-in with Corbett. It seems that while Bob was regis- tering, Corbett, who had been sit- ting in the lobby with his friends, awaiting Bob's return from his en- gagement, walked up behind Fitz and remarked over Bob's shoulder: “You had better let me register Saturday’s games that Solds -“fre practical factor in our favor in case they ever — pen te: Pow hint in tie Sonad Se ene with Sg | - meee ae again prevailing.

At Boston his fielding had aroused the derision of the bleachers, as he caught only whatever was shot right at him. At Cincinnati, he ranged deep. @ame in fast, and got them in all directions, so that the sungods cheered him to the echo. In short, Magee made good, proved himself ful- ly as valuable as the other athletes of the team, and got the fans with him en masse from start to finish.
