POW "WANES, PETROGRAD PATCHES SH Authority Lacking, Drunkenness Increases and Soldiers Show Strong Antipathy to Fighting. SOME CITIES CAPTURED Suggested That Letter Telling of Francis’ Alleged Offer of Ad- vance to Red Cross Was | Forgery. LONDON, Dec. 26.—There have been occasional assertions in Petro- grad dispatches that the influence and power of the Bolsheviki was waning, but never with such unan- imity as in special dispatches dated from the Russian capital Sunday and printed today. Nearly all make the point, in one form or another, that defection from the Workmen’s and Soldiers’ organization is growing con- Among causes alleged are general lack of authority, the increase in drunkenness, the reluctance of the population to work and the scarcity of foodstuffs. The main desire of the soldiers is said to be for peace. The correspondents cite instances of Bolsheviki troops refusing to march, declining to attack the Ukrainians and permitting the Cos- sacks to disarm them without resist- ance. Fighting, it is said, is the last thing they are willing or intend to do. A hostile spirit is reported to survive among the Baltic sailors and the Red Guard, but the former are not numerous enough to conquer «he Ukrainians and the Red Guard is largety untrained. It is reported, therefore, that war against the Ukrain probably will not materialize on any serious scale. Bolsheviki Opposition Grows. Bolsheviki leaders, the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post says, appear to be becoming con- scious of hopeless failure while the | correspondent of the Daily ews | | says: “There is a tremendous and grow- | ing opposition to the Bolsheviki among all classes. Men who former- ly supported are turning against them and ‘German hirelings’ is a | common term of denunciation.

This is not merely idle talk as those who say it aré those who already have thrown bombs.” Justice Drawn by Louis Raemaekers, the Famous Dutch Cartoonist.

The Cossacks report the strengthening of their hold on the Donetz basin. None of the reports, however, is more precise than re- cent reports of a similar nature. In the meantime, nothing more is heard of the efforts at reconciliation be- tween the Bolsheviki and the Uk- Paines. Demanis for the Assembly. Interests jin the convening of the constituent assembly is said to have Feawakened remarkably and de- ‘mands for its cenvocation are being made, it is reported, even by the most ignorant classes, and also by the troops of the Petrograd garri- son. It appears that the Bolsheviki commissioners are trying. although vainly, to shift some of the discon- tented military units from the ca pt- tal. A Reuter dispatch from Petro- grad says the Praobrashensky regi- ment has declared its disbelief ‘n the intention of the Bolshevik Gov- ernment to open the constituent as- sembly and has refused to relinquish Kuard of the Tauride palace until the assembly meets. In, consequence of the postpone- ment of the peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk because the Germans were not ready to reply to the Rus- sian terms, the Russian delegates are reported to be returning to Petro- grad, where apparently they are ex- pected to await the arrival or the delegation from the enemy Powers which is to participate in a confer- ence: for discussion of the political aspects of an eventual peacsa confer- ence. Various explanations are offered in Petrograd dispatches of the purpose of German concegtration of troops in the southwest. One suggestion is that part of these forces will be sent to Asia Minor. It is predicted a large force will be retained in the south- west to assure possession of the va]l- uable Russian harvest.

GERMANY PLANS TO CONSCRIPT WOMEN WORKERS AFTER WAR Upper Class Girls to Be Specially Trained and Poor Girls Put in Factories. COPENHAGEN, Dec. 26.—Plans for general conscription of women after the war are being made in Ger- many, and there is a general feeling that girls as well as boys will be con- pelled to undergo a regular period of training corresponding to the Ger- man youth's service in the army. The service proposed for girls is not mil- itary, but civil. It is proposed that all women should, preferably at the age of 17, be taken from their homes and compulsorily “trained,” either in a profession, a trade, or in house- hold duties. The characteristic German divis- ion between rich and poor is main- tained in the project. Girls of the upper classes are to be trained in special institutions; poor girls will go to factories or be placed in private ternational Commercial Bank and the | households, where their employers Russo-Asiatic Bank in consequence of the mention of their names in an intercepted letter wherein Gen.

The latter cannot with accuracy be called anything but flavery.”’ — ee 1918 WILL HAVE PLEASANTR contributed to the Post-Dispatch a used as the newspaper’ | them.

AND SHOVEL UNITS AT WORKIN FRANCE Labor Battalions Arriving to Re- lieve Infantrymen of Build- ing Tasks. By THOMAS MARVIN JOHNSON, A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co,). WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 26.—The first la- bor battalions sent to France from the United States are now arriving. They are promptly taking up shov- els and hammers, hewing wood and drawing water, and speeding the completion of the great establish- ments which are necessary to main- tain strong forces in the trenches. They are coming none too soon, for, after ships, the greatest need of the army here at present is labor. After a trip along the lines of com- munication and visits to Various places where storehouses and rail- road yards are building, the con- clusion is inevitable that the army is suffering from a labor shoftage. Un- til this is remedied it is impossible for the United States ‘to become a big factor on the western front for the simple reason that it is impossi- ble for a modern army to fight with- out a steady flow of supplies, for which channels must bé dug, which are impossible without diggers.’ This single fact shows the need of | W obtained in the Christmas Red:Gr campaign in East St. Louis, ft estimated at campaign headquart today. No official count of the mei berships has been made. The e&i paign will be continued in some ; tions of the city until Friday, am labor. For a narmy of a million men, which means 600,000 actually fight- ing, two hundred thousand laborers are required for the rearward work. Infantrymen Returned to Lines. At every point visited the cry was, “We are making progress, but the big need is for miore labor.’’ The arrival of the labor battalions is dou- bly welcome to the army, not only to expedite the work, but to expedite the training of combatant troops for the trenches. Hitherto, we have been employing in construction work infantrymen drawn from units now here in training. While the num- ber of troops so diverted has not been large nor the inroad on the in- fantry service necessarily serious, the fact remains that the American sol- dier needs all his time to learn how to fight under the complex condi- tions of trench warfare. Clearly his instruction should not be interfered with by turning him into a laborer. Until now it has been impossible to help this, however; and as the completion of the supply lines has been the most important thing the army had to get its labor man | power where it could. Now that the labor battalions are arriving, orders have been issued for the immediate return to their units of all infantry- men detailed to lines of communica- tion. At present much construction work is being done by special volunteer engineer regiments in the most effi- cient manner, but their numbers were insufficient for the vast job, and so they have had to be supple- mented with other troops, with the result that at one point Visited, troops of seven different organiza- tions were working together. War conditions make French labor un- procurable. All able-bodied French- men are in the army, and the United States must provide its own labor supply for the needs of the army in France. It is expected that many labor troops will be drawn from the men of the national army who have had experience as laborers and in trades. especially in carpentry and masonry. It is suggested also that the men who Hullt the cantonments would be valu- able on account of their experience. On the French and British fronts virtually all the construction is done by labor gangs, including many Chi- nese, thus releasing all able-bodied soldiers for fighting. We have been using some German prisoners, but their labor has been unsatisfactory. It is suggested that here is an opening for America’s colonia] pos- sessions to do their bit by furnishing labor. Before the arrival of the new battalions, the idea was tried out In ports where there was a special need for stevedore regiments. The result Was most satisfactory, so the army is welcoming every pick-and-shovel Inan Mel’ Over. ; % FRICAN PICK sas will exceed its quota of ‘25 greatly exceed its quota.

We made an exhaust- ive study of the cost of producing sugar in Cuba last year through our own agents in Cuba. We found that an average profit of at least 1 cent a pound was necessary in order to maintain and stimulate production or that a minimum. price of. $4.37 was necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. The price ul-, timately agreed upon was 23 cents_ above these figures, or about one- fifth of a cent a pound to the Amer- ican consumer, and more than this amount has been saved by our reduc- tion in refiners’ profits, and in net re- sults sugar would be 1 cent cheaper to the Atlantic consumer next year than now. “Would Be Unfair to Cuba.” “Tf we wish to stifle production in Cuba, we could take that course just at the time of all times in our.history when we want production for our- selves and the allies.’ Further than | that, such a course would produce, disturbances in Cuba and destroy | even our present supplies—-but be- yond all these material reasons is one of human justice. This great coun- try had no right by the might of its position'to strangle Cuba.” The statement recounts the Food Administration’s efforts to reduce consumption to avert the shortage, which was foreseen in. the summer. “The Food Administration has conducted a systematic campaign for | the reduction of individual eager consumption,’ ' ’ says the statement. | “The reduction has shown in the decrease in candy sales, etc., but on the otber hand, a similar campaign for the preservation of fruit has in- creased consumption in that direc- tion—but will reduce consumption noon, © > '* “Taking into consideration all fac- tors, it is not certain that there has been any increase in actual consump- tion and considering the increased canning use there may have been a decrease.” 4 Hloover emphatically charges that George M.

Everyone re- garded Ypres as a strenuous spot, but everyone secretly wanted to go there and see it for themselves. I felt sure we were now bound for there, or anyway, somewhere not far off. We tramped along in the growing dark- ness, up the winding dusty road to i ; i Locre. When we arrived there it was quite dark.

As Mother Goose written it: If might all the Christmas trees were one tree. What a big tree that wouid be! And if all the children were one child, What a big child that would be! And if all the horns were one “orn, What a big horn that would be! And if the big child took the big horn off the big Christmas tree, and blew it to beat the band——- —-well, it would sound very much like the joyful noise that was made in the Coliseum yesterday by the 10,- 000 children who were guests at the eighteenth 2unual Post-Dispatch Christmas Festivai. The big noise, which was going on most of the time, and the big tree, which was there all the time, were just varts of the biggest and most enjoyable of the entertainments which, through the generosity of lost-Dispatch readers, have been provided in very year since the first festival in 1909, for children who otherwise might not make the ac- | quaintance ef Santa Claus. There was another part, just big in its way as the entertainment at the Coliseum. That was: the dis- tribution of 1200 Christmas dinners, which were sent to homes, and which many of the children enjoyed with their parents, as soon as they got back from the morning's fun. But this story is about what happened in the Coliseum. Gifts Came First. ‘ We'll begin at the beginning, and there’s no doubt about where the beginning was. It was at the front door of the Coliseum, on Washing- ton avenue. Through this door, as | fast as they could be handled with- in. came the children, the girls keep- ing to the right and the boys to the left, past the members of the Gift ‘Committee. The gift distributors. some of them with years of experience in this work, had to judge at a glance of the ages of the oncoming children, big and little. Nimble Boy Scouts passed the ; presents from boxes and barrels to the committee workers, who made them up into assortments and gave them to the eager boys and girls. There were nearly 35,000 gifts of dif- ferent kinds. There were warm toques for the children’s heads, and big bags of _candy, and horns, which nearly every child began to toot as soon as he or she could get one hand free. There 'were dolls which seemed to stretch out their arms to the wistful little girls who hadn't reached them yet. And best of all, there were roller pell-mell hikers and skoots, which are three times as much fun asa sled, because you don’t have to wait for snow before you can use them. The coasters and skoots had to be given out in compact shape, taken apart and packed in boxes. Putting them together was a job to be left until one got home. But today, and for the rest of the holiday season, the sidewalks of St. Louis in some parts of town, will just be speedways for those skoots, and grown up folks on foot will have to give prompt heed to cries of “Gangway!” And Such a Noise. From the front door, the boys and girls passed into the balcony until all its thousands of seats were filled, and then into’ the upper gallery, where the seeing was just as good, The hearing was the same everywhere. Nobody could hear anything but those horns, blowing forth Christmas cheer and the joy of living. Some- t.mes the tooting was ina continuous blast; then it would be organized intO a martial cadence of “Toot! Toot! Toot, toot, toot!” Over in the southeast corner, by as | have wT we big and ' i ! a raysterious baskets. These were the Trunks of Mystery, and every child bad a guess at what was in them. Disputes arose in many varts of the house over these ruesses, | ' _of the performarice on the great Christmas tree, sat the band. You could see that they were playing, for Bandmaster Poepping’s baton was moving back and fourth, and the men had their instruments Rat whether they were playing Tschaikowsky’s music or George Cohan’'s nobody could tell. The bigger symphony of the joyous children filled the air, and made everyone hope that the Coliseum roof was nailed on tight, so that it might not go sailing off at some particu- larly big blast of noise. But even a boy with a new horn knows that there are times to be still, and when the entrance of King Santa Claus and his court began, opening the entertainment program, which were settisd «2 mo-+ ment iater, when the haskets flew cpen and a court jester, in motley stripes of bright hue, stepped fror. cne of them, while a bug bull ter- rier tumbled from the other. Thev were Sam Bennett, a veteran circus clown. and his dog Illmo. While Santa was being escorted to his throne, Sam and Iilmo began - round of the arena. Sam would hold his jesier’s stick in a cat's cradie, and Illmo, with a park; would plunge ihrough a runway of his back. Llmo was an unusually big and stern-lookinz dog, but he understood that he’ was on his good behavior, and when he came near the children he was sv friendly that not ore of them was seen to shrink back. - Santa’s Dream Depicted. “Santa Claus’ palace at the North Poise” was announced as the scene the stage. and Santa seemed to think he was at home, for as soor as he got fairly seated on his throne, he sank back for a map. And then came his dream, which everyone else. could see just as plainly as the snoozing Santa did. In tripped the Northern Lights, and the Dawn, and the Brownies, or Gnomes, and the four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Win- ter.. Each was represented by a company of dancers, and each, in turn, passed before Santa Claus’ throne, and before the thousands of little spectators, in’ graceful steps. The little brown men rolled heavy balls at tenpins, as old Rip Van Win- kle once saw them do in the moun- tains. Spring was a vision of green, and Summer, in. bright colors, was followed by Autumn, which was al! brown,.and which was represented by girls of the dark-skinned race. Win- ter was as white as, only a few days ago, winter itself was, on St. Louis lawns and hillsides. And after the passing of the last of the seasons, to the charming mu- sic of the “Russian Snow Storm,” there came a bright-garbed group of pretty and graceful children, who stood for Good Will, the message of Christnmias. Their dance was the most beautiful of the series. Stage dancing and classic ballets may have iost their hold on the people who go to theaters, but the dancing of. chil- dren can never cease to charm, for it is the expression of Nature. Here the results of ' patient and capable training were added to the children’s natural expression of joy of motion. Liberty Scen in Tableau. The message of Good Will was the signal which awakened the slumber- ing Santa Claus, and he was on his feet, ready to start on his joy- preading rounds, when the band began to play “The Star-Spangled Banner.” And then everybody else arose, and even the. jester’s dog stood on his hind legs at rigid at- tention. The children sang the words, and as they got to “the dawn's early light,” a bright light shone on the big flag behind Santa's throné, and Liberty and Her Defend- ers were disclosed. The defenders were a soldier, a sailor and a tiny Red Cross nurse. Loyalty: burst forth in deafening blasts from balcony and _ galiery, when 50 girls in smart khaki, with drums and bugles, marched in and steppéd their liveliest through the center of the argha. To their lively rat-tatting, a few minutes before noon, the whole costumed line marched out, after a final dance to- gether, and the big show was over. The girls were the Famous’ and Barr military corps, and the chil- dren who danced were the pupils of the municipal playgrounds, number- ing nearly 700. They had brough* their costumes as fairies and as nymphs of the seasons, and the big room at the south end of the Coli- seum had been their dressing room. No circus dressing room was ever a | busier place. i } | i Park Workers in Charge.

At the same moment hun- dreds of colored lights began to glow on the great tree, and were reflected by the gay ornaments on every branch. " Oo-ooh! Here’s Santa! Pages and heralds in blue and red . and purple satin marched before Santa, and the children inspected them admiringly, some sharp eyes discerning that the trumpets which the heralds seemed to be blowing were just gilded wood. But even these gorgeous creatures could not compete with Santa Claus for the at- tention of that assemblage. Some of the children had seen make-believe Santas, but they were sure this must be the real one. He was so stocky and ruddy and bright-eyed that he was Santa to the life. Sonie of the grown people remembered that Otto a+ Karbe had been head of the Santa | Claus Committee, which had the job of finding Santa and bringing him te They. looked around through the crowd for Otto, they might congratulate him. strange to say, they didn't see him anywhere.

Abeken, superintendent of recre- ation, marshaled the dancers, and showed how a busy man can be en- thusiastic without getting excited. Miss Agnes Cady, dancing supervisor of the playgrounds, was in charge of the dance movements, and Miss Laura Obert and Miss Viola Kilgen, who had respectively designed the costumes and _ superintended their making, kept near the wearers of the costumes. Liberty. in white robes, was represented by Miss Mar: Evelyn Robinson of 6019 Washine- ton avenue, a Washington Univer- sity senior, and little Winifred Webb charming Red Cross nurse. Uniformed park watchmen were on duty at the entrances to the arena, and policemen were in charge elsewhere. The playground chil- ' ef 6000 Washington avenue, was the. } - POLICEMAN KILL S BEATING.

Judge Grimm, the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festi- val before, declared that he had nev- er seen so much enthusiasm and en- joymeng béfore, and that he had never witnessed a more’ charming entertainment anywhere than that given by the playgrounds children. He commented especially on the nat- many of the dancers. It was thought last year that the limit of attendance at the festiva! had been reached. But policemen, who were on duty at the Coliseum then, and were back again yesterday, insisted that this year’s gathering was even bigger. Children kept fil- ing in for their gifts after the. ba!- cony and gallery had been so com- pletely filled that more could not be safely admitted, and some of these children received their presents and went out without geeing the show, which was by that time partly over. Two groups of boxes which were viewed with interest by the older persons present were those for crip- pled children, under the care of Miss Sara FE. Edwards of the Tiny Tim 8o- clety, and the lost children box, where Boy Scouts and a sympathetic policeman looked after the little ones who were temporarily separated from thelr older brothers or sisters. Most of them took being lost as just another jolly adventure, though there were tears now and then. James A. Reardon, chairman of the Gift Purchasing Committee, and Louis Nolte, head of the Basket Din- ner Committee, were two whose work was mostly over before the Coliseum festival, but who were active in help- ing there.

We halted opposite this place, as I have said, and in a few moments were all marched into the central, baked-mud square, in the midst of the huts. I have since learned that this camp is no more, 80 I don’t mind mentioning it. We were now dis- missed, whereupon we all collared huts for our men and ourselves, and sat Gown to rest. A Gloomy Prelude to Action. We had had a very early and seratch sort of a breakfast, so were rather keen to get at the lunch question. The limbers were the last things to turn up, being in therear of the battalion, but when they did the cooks soon pulled the necessary things out and proceeded to knock up a meal. I went outside my hut and sur- veyed the scene whilst they got the lunch ready. It was a rotten place. ‘The huts hadn't got any sides to them. but were made by two slopes of wood fixed at the top, and had triangular ends. There were just a few huts built with sides, but not many. Apart from the _ huts the desert contained nothing except men lin war-worn, dirty khaki, and clouds lof dust. It reminded me very much my childhood days. The land all around this mud plain was flat and scrubby, with nothing of interest to look at anywhere. But, yes, there was—just one thing. Away to the north I could just see the top of the I wondered how long we were going to stay in this Sahara, and turned back into the hut again. Two or three of us were resting on a lI't- tle scanty straw in that hut, and now, as we guessed that it was about the time when the cooks would have got the lunch ready, we crossed to an- other larger hut, where a long bare wooden table was laid out for us.

There wasn’t much conversation at that meal; we were all too busy thinking. Besides, the C. O. was getting tnes- sages all the time, and was immersed in the study of a large map, so we thought we had better keep quiet. Our Colonel was a splendid person, as good a one as any battalion could wish to have. (He’s sure to buy a copy of this book after that.) He§ was with the regiment all tirough | that 1914-15 winter, and is now a's Brigadier. 3 Ordered to “March at Once.” We had made all preparations to stay in the huts at that place for the | night, when, at about 4 o'clock in| the afternoon, another message ar- | rived and was handed to the C. O. He issued his orders. We were to march of at once. Everyone was delighted, as the place was unaitrac- tive, and what’s more, now that we were on the warpath, we wanted to get on with the job, whatever it was. Now we were on the road once more, and marching on towards Ypres. The whole brigade was on the road somewhere, some battalions | in front of us and some behind. On we went through the driving dust and’ dismal scenery, making, I could clearly see, for Ypres. We ticked off the miles at a good steady march- ing pace, and in course of time turned out of our long, dusty, wind- ing lane on to a wide cobbled main road, leading evidently into the town of Ypres itself, now about two miles ahead. It was a fine sight, looking | back down the winding column of! men.

We halted) about a mile out of the city, and all “fell out’ on the side of the road, and sat about on heaps of stones or on the bank of the ditch at the road- side. It was easy enough to see now where we were going, and what was’ up. There was evidently a severe “scrap’’ on. Parties of battered, disheveled looking men, belonging to Were now streaming past down the road— many French-African soldiers amongst them. From these we learned that a tremendous attack was in progress, but got no details. Their stories received corroboration by the fact that we could see many shells bursting in and around the city of Ypres. These vagrant men were wounded in a degree, inasmuch as most of them had been undergoing some prodigious bombardment and were dazed from shell-shock. They cheered us with the usual exaggerat- ed and harrowing yarns common to such people, and passed on. This' was what we had come here for—§ to participate in this business: not. very nice, but we were all ‘‘for it,” | anyway. If we hadn’t come here we. would have been attacking at that. other place, and this was miles more interesting. If one has ever partici- pated in an affair of arms at Ypres, it gives one a sort of honorable trade-mark for the rest of the war as a member of the accepted success- “ul matadors of the Flanders bull- ing.

Stiff and weary, I left my heap of stones, took my place at the head of the section, and prepared for the next act. On we went again down the cobbled road, crossed a complicated mixture of ordinary rails and tramlines, and struck off up a narrow road to the left, which ap- parently also ended in the city.” It was now evening, the sky was gray and cloudy.

A cablegram of con- sent to print was requested if the coast was clear, but the days of grace passed and no word came. To a mes- sage of urgency the answer was made that the proofs were voyaging west- ward. After a brief interval a cheer- ing envelope appeaned in the foreign |mail and within were the precious {proofs with not more than half a dozen simple verbal changes; they | were made in a bold, ready hand, but as there was no letter we could not be sure that the proofs had been re- vised by the Emperor: The usual hair splitting of gredt men and of- ficialdom had been anticipated s0 with considerable glee the trifling plate changes were rushed and the big “‘sixty-four’’ presses were made ready to toss off 100,000 copies., Then a bolt of stage lightening in London caused a thunderclap in _Berlin so ——— _- as if the mental activity of the court had been tfansferred to the cellar. Then the Foreign Office, from the Chancellor to the doorkeeper, rushed to close the shutters. In Berlin’ the expiration was due to other causes, in Britain, but largely because the inci- dent offered a splendid opening fora demand that the aKiser must leave foreign questions entirely to his Min- ‘isters and that they should be sponsible solely to the Reichstag. On Nov. 6 Dr. Hale walked into the office with his familiar smiie sadly reduced, and his retreat was | devoid of the usual social amenities.) Then Mr. Gilder called Johnson and (myself into the inner. sanctum and showed us a ecablegram Dr. Hale (had just received from the Foreign Office. It asked him ,courteously to cancel the Kaiser’s interview in the Century Magazine, and offered no ‘explanation. In view of the recent events, none was needed. Mr. Gilder readily consented in ;case it was a physical possibility to {not print the 11 pages of the intér- view and get out the Christmas Cen- ‘tury anywhere near on time. That ~| being settled in the affirmative, the that | following announcement was made | , in the next issue: “The Cen- tury company states that the article ‘on the Emperor by William Bayard |'Hale has been withdrawn by the au- | thor, he feeling that it would be im- | proper for him to proceed with the, | publication, in view of recent cir- ' cumstances.” The excitement over the Londo: interview suggested to the very knowing ones that in the Century ar- ticle the Kaiser had exceeded him- ‘tional subjects was welcomed by tha | Self and the Poreign Office had ex- ‘editor, Richard Watson Gilder, then | tinguished a world conflagration in his lifelong work. ithe nick of time. for Gilder to ac-|Saved the Kaiser and manuscript ifrom the deep humiliation of ap- | They had barely pearing to defy the sentiment of all Germany.

The explosion of mirth brought every- body to a pause and the officer. ob- serving the general interest, went on to say the cruiser before leaving port inous boxes, which on getting well to sea had been hoisted on deck and accorded distinguished ceremony. In accordance with the usual ocean ceremony, one of the boxes was made to slide overboard; but instead of funct, it had persisted in floating and last time had taken on several '‘om-. sinking like a properly disposed de-. _to the great merriment of the ship's company had given a rescuing party no end of trouble. Thereupon the boxes were lowered to the~-furnace hold, which was open, and the con- tents fed-to the flames as fast as the fire could reduce them to a state of oblivion. Meanwhile, the officers re- galed themselves with the contents of distributed sheets—grd’ marveled that such a fuss had been made over the sensible views of their astute monarch.

Ai WOMAN'S ESCORT SLAIN IN A ‘PRANK’ HOLDUP Man Holding Pipe Like a Revol- ver When Policeman Interferes, and Shooting Follows. A Christmas morning prank in | which John Mollman of 311 Rutger | street held a pipe in such a way that it appeared to be a revolver, cost the life of his friend, Joseph Hen- nessy of 1329 Clara avenue. Hen- nessy died at the city hospital at 7:30 a.*m. today after being shot twice by Probationary Patrolman Borlinghaus of the Soulard Street District. Borlinghaus was standing in a doorway at 1256 South Broadway ai 2a. m., yesterday, when he saw what he thought was an attempt to hold up a weman. Two men stood near her and one seemed to be pointing a revolver at her. With his own revolver drawn the policeman advanced on the supposed highway- The other man drew a revol- man. ver and fired at the policeman,. who returned the fire, shooting three times. The man who later was identified as Hennessy ran south on Broadway. A block.further south Frederick Deutchman, a private watchman, knocked him down with his night- stick. Hennessy was found to have been wounded in the abdomen and ‘right leg. Policeman Borlinghaus, 'who had been shot in the thigh. | limped to where Hennessy had fallen | and was joined there by the sup- | posed highwayman and the woman, Emma Cinder of 311 Rutger alternating cur- ‘street, Mollman’s aunt. Mrs. Cinder said she and Mollman and Hennessy were on their way home from a Christmas eve party when Mollman playfully pointed his pipe at her and told her to hold up her hands. Hennessy, she _ said, opened fire because he thought the policeman was about to shoo* Moll- | man. Only One “BROMO QUININE,” To get the genutne, cal! for full name, Laxative Bromo Quinine.

BY CLAIR KENAMORE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. ON BOARD TRAIN, EN ROUTE FROM ONE ARMY POST TO AN- OTHER, Dec. 23.—-The Government, many railroad systems, and news- papers have asked all persons not compelled to do so, to refrain from traveling at this period of our na- tional existence. The requests doubt- leas have kept some people at home where they belong, but these crowded cars, Which travel through the south- western quarter of the United States, give no intimation of it. Every road has reduced the num- ber of its passenger trains to the minimum and inaugurated new achedules. The fast, smooth-running trains in which you used to ride in luxury, with ouly three other persons in your Pullman, and a lightfooted porter in anxious attendance on your wishes, are things of the past. The “Silver Special” and the “Copper King’ and such like train by which the lonely ranchers of the Southwest used to set their clocks, now are long, laboring strings of mixed wood and steel cars drawn by an uncertain engine, runing from two to 20 hours late For we are at war, and the railroad industry is one of those which has accepted as fact the dictum that “We cannot win the war as a side line.” They are devoting all their energies to the business of war, and the old trade on which it onee sub- sisted is now a mere incidental. A Journey From Dawson. We left Dawson, let us say, at 8 a. m., bound for Jackson Barracks. No. § is made up at Dawson, so it got oyt approximately on time, only 40 min- utes late, in faet. The train consisted of five sleepers, two chair cars and the express cars. We were to proceed to Travis City, wait there two hours for No. 10 northbound, which would pick us up. Arriving in the outskirts of Travis City an hour late, we were held out- side the yards. No one seemed to know just what was causing the de- lay. The brakeman was particularly uncommunieative. He was a “dug out,” a little, old, wizened man, who greene had quit the road years befor® to re- tire to a farm. The strapping young fellow who formerly handled the flags on this train, so the old man said, now was in Allentown, Pa., a sergeant, and about ready to sail for France. The older man who tad been on. the reserve Jist of the company, had been asked to come back to work, and he had come. He said he was glad, by Jingo, to do something to help out. He confided in me that he did not have the slightest idea what was keeping us out of the yards, but that there were lots more things which would hold up a train now than there used to be when he was running regular. The Cause of the Delay. Pretty soon the cause appeared. It was a long freight train drawn by two fine engines. Two of the flat ears held boxed-up airplanes. Three others carried canvas-covered equip- | ment for wagon trains, and. every box car had a red, white and blue placard appealing to the reader to help win the war. The freight car- ried equipment and gear for the training camps. It was going about the nation’s business and it had the right of way. Pullmans and chatr cars must wait on the sidings for it to pass, and all was as it should be. There was no complaint from the passenger train. A year ago, there would have been an indignant chorus of ** The very idea! Holding us, a passenger train, to let old freight pass! Outrageous!”’ It is different now. The traveler waits and contains his soul in pa- itience. His need for haste is not so urgent as is that of the equipment for soldiers. We laid over an hour in Travis City, had lunch,and proceeded to Mount Bowie, -where we joined the main line, and were to pick up the diner. No. 6 on the main line was four hours late, our conductor learned, and as we were only three hours late by now, supper was a du- bious quantity at 6 p. m. Trains Now Make All Stops. Most through trains make all way ‘stops now, if flagged. By 7 p. m., train was comfortably filled, need of food was widespread. “Next stop is Crockett. Twenty- five | i j}announced. the | and the —_—— minutes for supper,”’ the conductor | conditions prevailed all through the | high relief, fine germ collectors of | ity, but they did it, and. Babies cried or slept on the, the ty pe built about 18986. A stream of 200 persons flowed off the train at Crockett, into the lunch room and dining room, and were fed. Girls and women did all the work. Men in jobs that women can fill are becoming increasingly scarcer. No one asked you what vou wanted. You sat down and a flashing young lady put a ¢up of soup before you. Then came a battery of omelettes, each girl saying in an unchanging tone: “Care for the omelette?” “You eared, and on her heels came the} croquettes girl. As these disappeared came the steak carriers, big, husky giris with great platters of steak, and in among the food carriers dart- ed the smaller girls with coffee pots. Military efficiency showed in that meal, for just as vou reached the crust of the pie, the wizened ‘“‘dug-out’’ brakeman was at the door calling “‘All aboard!” It was an ideal meal, well and expeditiously served, and there was nobody to tip, for ev- erybody had waited on you, and of course, you could not tip them all, we reached Williams, At 8 p. m. and 200 more persons climbed aboard the laboring train, most of them hungry and in a bad humor. “What? No dinner? That is an outrage. We have been at the sta- tion since '6 o'cleck, and that gir!! in the ticket office has told us the | train would be here in 15 minutes ever since 6:30."’ The conductor was sorry, but he could not help it, and he had other troubles. The duplicaticns of berths were beginning to appear. Six young women, or rather three pairs of young women held tickets entitling them to occupy upper 7 in 17. Each pair vowed solemnly had purchased the _ tickets more than a week before, and that in addition. g LAO SK SS Condles on Tree Start Bien; | ne home of John Meise}, 5842 Theo- Wighted candles Aignited = cotton 'dosk« avenue, tast evening, ané ichmraings on a Christmas tree at! caused a smali fire — NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS Collector’s Office, City Hall Onty a few days remain if which em | for the year 1917 may ah be peid without penalties.

There was no greater index to the degree of loyalty of the colored people to the na- tion than the manner in which these mem- bers of an emotional race received the semi-seditious and semi-treasonable re- marks of a comical actor in the Booker | Washington Theater on the night of Dec. 17, 1917. In times of peace such remarks as “Since the white man makes the laws, let him fight to protect them,” ‘‘The Kaiser has done nothing to me and if he has I freely forgive him,’ “I will fight for my country when I find where my country is,” would have been greeted with an applause so thunderous that it would have shaken the walls of Booker Washington Theater, but in these critical times, when the liberty of the nation which set the colored people free is in imminent danger, this actor’s re- marks were justly given a cool reception and from every part of the audience were greeted with hisses and cat cries. started into the ._,Jf the manager of this theater is not suf- ficiently patriotic to ‘‘blue pencil’ these remarks, which unquestionably tend to in- cubate and spread sedition and treason, he at least ought to have sufficient business prudence to not offend his patrons. The national safety should not be endangered on account of internal problems. DARRINGTON WEAVER, M. D., First Lieutenant M. O. R. C., U. S. A. Teach Boys to Be Courteous. Ta the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘Talking about seats in street cars, why is it that mothers allow their boys 10, 11 and 12 years of age, to occupy seats while women loaded down with parcels are standing? If mothers allow their children to grow up selfish and rude, is it a wonder that men almost knock women down in order to get on the cars and grab the seats and refuse to give them up, even for the aged? I don’t believe tn men giving up their seats for able-bodied women, but the avay some men grab the seats certainly is *‘hoggish. ” ONE WHO BELIEVES IN COURTESY. ‘* Camp Pike Boys Want Music.

HOOVER’S ANSWER. The most important point in Food Administra- tor Hoover’s statement, which was suppressed by Chairman Reed of the Senate Investigating Com- mittee and released for publication by President Wilson, is the affirmation that there is a shortage of available sugar and the shortage will continue during next year. Mr. Hoover brands the reports that there will be a plentiful supply of sugar when the new crop is marketed as inimical to the interests of the al- lies and dangerous to our cause. Additional sugar might be obtained from Java and other distant places, but only at a costly sacrifice of shipping needed for the transport of American soldiers and war supplies to Europe. The di- version of these ships would greatly impair our It can be taken for granted that some satisfac- tory arrangement had been reached before the ships that have just been released were permitted to sail. + +. ww — —_-— KAISER’S REVIEW OF 1917. The plan credited to the Kaiser that a meeting of the sovereigns and regents of Europe to con- sider terms of peace shall be called in the event that the negotiations with the Bolsheviki are successful is so reminiscent of Hohenzollern hab- its of thought that its authenticity must be be- lieved. As futile as the Congress of Vienna or the Congress of Berlin would be another meeting of the same sort to formulate permanent terms |for ending the war. A peace obtained through transport resources required for European ship- | such an agency has already been stigmatized by ments and thus menace war success. President Wilson as precisely the kind of peace The resources of America must be drawn upon | the allies do not want. to supply the meager sugar rations of our Eu-| ropean allies and keep their armies efficient for warfare on the front. This warning is of more value than anything that Senator Reed’s committee has brought out. Claus Spreckels, whose disgruntlement over the loss of sugar profits has been exposed, was the witness who brought the most serious charge— that of dealing with the Sugar Trust to its ad- vantage. Mr. Hoover admits that he made vol- untary agreements with the Sugar Trust and other | sugar refiners. He had no power to enforce re- strictions; but he shows that the agreements were advantageous in keeping profits within a reason- able range and holding down prices. In short, the Food Administrator asserts that the best pos- sible arrangement was made with the sugar men, including the Cuban sugar interests, to maintain ‘production by reasonable profits and to keep prices down. The Post-Dissatch has published in substance the statement of George H. Earle, head of the great independent sugar refining company of Philadelphia, justifying Mr. Hoover's work and denying the fact and force of Spreckels’ state- ments. He says that the action of the Food Ad- ministration has kept sugar prices, which would otherwise have soared, to a reasonable level. It has cut sugar profits, but has not strangled the sugar interests. He asserts that the opposition to Mr. Hoover's action is confined to sugar re- finers who resent the check on sugar profiteering. Outside of the Central Powers the sovereigns 'of Europe are no longer the spokesmen of their countries. The peace of the people will be ar- ranged at a gathering in which the represen- tatives of the people will sit with plenary power. A like interesting illustration of Hohenzollern mental processes is the Kaiser’s speech on the western front, linking up the Verdun failure with the success of Ge n aims in Russia and Italy. What did the most tremendous military debacle of modern times have to do with the campaign of intrigue and bribery carried on against the Russians. Germany set out to crush France, paid the ap- palling price and suffered a fearful defeat. It was shown that her most elaborate organization of armies, munitions and guns could not avail to reach a decision in the west. The only “tac- tical and strategical connection” which the col- lapse there has is a connection with the ultimate collapse of Prussianism that must come before the fighting can cease. It has no connection with the results on the Russian front, where other agencies were employed. No tributes to German arms can be drawn from results in Russia during 1917. The secret propa- ganda of Prussianism.is the instrument that should have been extolled by the Kaiser. What was accomplished there, by enabling men to be released, made possible what was accomplished in Italy. In view of Senator Reed’s attitude of bitter hos- | tility towards Mr. Hoover and the Food Admin- | istration, Mr. Hoover’s resentment of his treat- | ment by the Senator is justified. Senator Reed intention of proving that Hoover’s work was a food and fuel control and his prophecies of disas- ter have been vindicated. It was a great mistake to put the sugar inves- tigation into the hands of Senator Reed. ed with the brand of unfairness and animosity. The people want the truth, not a mess of per- sonal prejudices and politics. = = = i i A THE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS. The year 1918 is certain to be a critical one for America and the rest of the world. The United States has assumed a vast burden and it will take the co-operation of all of its people to carry it along. Every Americau should make these resolutions this New Year's eve: I will do all in my power to support the war activities of my country, even should it neces- sitate great sacrifice on my part. I will at all times put the national welfare above personal gain, persona) feelings or per. sonal comfort. I will consider no hours too long, no work too | movements The crushing of Belgium did not end the war. The overrunning of Northern France did not end it. The fall of Servia and the defeats in- flicted on Rumania did not end it. And no Ger- -man triumph around the council table at Brest- investigation with the plain | Litovsk can end it. The German people’s pro- gressive sense of the manifest futility of all their failure and that his (Reed’s) bitter opposition to | sacrifices, of the hollowness of repeated costly proclaimed as great victories, was | what the Kaiser was trying to combat in his It start- | | — eee disagreeable, no labor too burdensome, if it will | help my country win the war. I will gladly go to the trenches or send my son, or my brother, or my relatives there if ihe country calls. I will observe all restrictions on food and drink and luxuries imposed by those in author- ge vainglorious summaries of the year’s achieve- ments. The rearrangement of lines and the introduc- tion of new factors and new conditions make it seem as if the war were beginning all over again, as if it were a new war just starting, rather than that peace is close at hand. We must not forget that it starts with the allies prepared instead of unprepared and possessing a wealth in military assets greater than that of Germany three years ago, while that of Germany herself has declined during those fateful years. +. - A RAILROAD CONSCIENCE. It may be that a corporation has no soul, but that at least one corporation has a fairly service- able substitute for a soul is shown by the confes- sion of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co., through its president, Milton S. Smith, of its cul- pability in the matter of the Shepherdsville, Ky., 'wreck, and its declaration of readiness to make restitution in so far as restitution is possible. When an individual does that sort of thing the soul of him is credited with it. ter much what name is given to the something } | which has moved it to this action.

I will help the country financially as far as [ ‘am able by buying thrift stamps, liberty bonds and war certificates, in order that the money may be available for our immense war pro- gram. ' I will neither hoard money nor food lest my neighbors and my country suffer by my acts. I will strive to be a patriot in every sense of the word, regardless of all other considerations. THE EMBARGO STRANGLE HOLD. It is easier to understand Denmark’s exulta- It does not detract from the fine quality of the confession and proffer of restitution that the guilt of the company is obvious. It is still an out- standing action. The guilt of corporations is very often obvious but it is not often that Hability is acknowledged as is now done. The usual thing is for the guilty corporation to assert its inno- cence to the last ditch and make restitution only when the uttermost endeavor to evade liability has been exerted in vain. The Shepherdsville wreck was frightful. Indi- vidual responsibility has not been fixed, but it ap- pears to be another instance .of the failure of the human factor. It may even be found that the guilt is more than individual and that the com- players among this detachment of young | tion over the release of cargoes, held in Ameri- men, who in their lonely moments could | can ports, cheer the remainder of their comrades, iia they but have some sort ofa pianoto. exercise their talents on.

According to news items appearing in eur local press,: several hotels and res- taurants have failed to comply with the request of the United States Government to observe meatless and wheatless days.

GEORGD BP. MIX. | | many. Statistics compiled in England show it | has been even more effective than most of us had imagined. In 1911, 1912 and 1913, according to the Man- | chester Guardian, America exported an average of 382,000 tons of fodder and cereals each month to Holland and the Scandinavian countries. Exportation for last September amounted to only 25,000 tons. Oils and fats dropped from 46,000 tons in January, 1917, to 22,500 tons in Septem- ber. Cotton exports in the same time dropped from 6500 tons to 2300 tons. The 1916 monthly average of 1900 tons of hides and leather has become only 440 tons a month, while 500 tons for September this year stand against an average of 2700 tons a month in 1911-13, Inasmuch as all these things have to be im- ported by the neutral countries of Northern Europe and as the United States is practically the only source of supply open to them, they ere compelled to come to our terms. These terms are simple. They are only that none of these articles be re-exported to Germany.: Natur- | ally there has been a great howl by Scandinavian | and Dutch profiteers who have prospered boun- tifully through Germany’s desperate needs and ever materials could be obtained. Our own in- terests in the matter, however, are imperative. pany, through failure to take every precaution which was in its power as a company to take, has incurred moral as well as legal accountability, _ but it may safely be said, in the light of President Smith’s statement to the public, that the company would have been glad to expend for preventing’ the disaster many times what it will have to pay in damages. ee MR. FRANCIS AND THE BOLSHEVIKI. Much abused as the phrase has been, St. Louis- ans who are best acquainted with Ambassador Francis are still convinced of the in»erent truth of the sporting maxim that class will tell. Bol- sheviki may think the American diplomat is in for a hard job explaining his interest in Col. An- derson’s order diverting ambulances to the Cos- sack country, but we who knqw him best are not | at all alarmed. There may have been serious differences of opinion with him regarding local matters in the past, but nobody ever accused him of undue weak- ness in those sections of the brain set apart for the cogitative faculties. Not knowing Col. An- derson very well, we may be pardoned for con- ceding that he mightn’t have known what he was at, but it would be hard to convince us that our former Governor was not at all times and in all places in constant knowledge of his own where- abouts. It might not be impossible to recall in- stances in which others wsre uncertain as to where the distinguished Missotrian should be _Placed, but nobody pretended that he himself its willingness to pay almost any price for what- | bad any doubts about the matter. If Ambassador Frafcis says he can set mat- ters straight, that settles it. eS TC’ ow ew ea ae “ . : -" + +} 4 ++ .

We must expect that, and to a degree SOCRATES ON PEACE PROPOSALS. OCRATES: It is very strange that the Ger- S mans do not see the great political opportunity they have just now. It has been pointed out to them again and again by thinking men in this and almost: every other country, and it seems incred- ible that they should not avail themselves of it. You know what Germany has to think of now perhaps even more than her immediate military plans is the | position in which she will find herself after the war. — It is not possible for her to go on the way she is going without finding herself a pariah among na- tions, one with whom the world will not trade or have anything whatsoever to do. Grave warnings are be- ing dinned into her ears both in and out of Germany that she is in danger of finding herself, as a manu- facturing and trading country, without either a mar- ket for her products or means of getting raw ma- terials. Doesn’t she see that, do you suppose, or is she still blindly hugging the delusion that she is go- ing to conquer the world and do business with guns? Glaucon: I think not. That dream is dead, no- where more so than in the Wilhelmstrasse. Socrates: Very well. Then what the Germans should do is to seize their opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in the eyes of the world. I have here a set of peace proposals the Kaiser might draw up for the purpose of rising to this occasion. Thrasymachus: Let’s hear them. Socrates: Here they are. We find in the pream- ble a defense of Germany’s militarism and her swift onrush to war having as their justification her dread sympathize with it. Any rate, it is not something over which to haggle in a sincere effort to bring about peace, for the great bogey man Russia is now no bogey man at all. He is more gentle than a suck- ing dove. Polemarchus: Quite so. What has happened in Russia has given Germany something more than a mere military opportunity. We all see that, I fancy. Socrates: All right. Then let us to the peace pro- posals. First, Germany proposes peace on the basis of the map as it stood when the war began, with the exception that Alsace-Lorraine shall say whether she is to be French or German. Second, she admits that she was wrong in the invasion of Belgium and her unrestricted submarine warfare, offering repara- tion. Third. she asks that her colonies be restored, that no economic war be made upon her by the nations of the entente, and that no indemnities be demanded upon either side except as promised in the matters heretofore mentioned. Fourth, that inas- much as she no longer has to fear attack by the Rus- sian, and being assured of the protection of the entente on her other borders, she disbands her army on condition that all the rest of the combatants do the same.

Glaucon’ I don’t think so, either. the Kaiser do something of that sort? Socrates: Maybe he will. If not now—then later. Wait until a few delegations of German manufac- turers call on him and demand to know how German manufactured products are going to be disguised as such out in the world for the next fifty years. Polemarchus: If the Kaiser had you for his chancellor, you wouldn’t be on the job thirty days before you would have him walking around behind you holding up the tail of your fur coat.

WO boys stepped out when the call went ta forth, Two boys iho were stalicart and fine; Two boys told fathers a long good-bye, And took their place in the line. They joined the troops that marched away, And the two who cheered them #so— No prouder fathers were in the land— Than the two who watched them go. Their life was hard far over the seas, . But they stuck as brave lads do; And never a murmur or word of complaint As they passed the dark days through. The nights were nights of hell and fire, But they fought on, side by side, And held their place while the battle raged And lived while others died. At last the call to charge was given, They leaped through shot and shell, But when the emoke had cleared away One slumbered where he fell. They buried him with other lads, And the land which gave him rest Sent to his father the medal of gold Which should have graced his breast. Now which of the fathers are the proudest today Of the boys, there's none can tell, The one who greets once more his son, Or the father of him who fell.
