LONDON, Jan. 3.—Although the sinkings of ships of large tonnage in the last week have been rather heavy, the total for December is characterized as satisfactory, being only slightly larger than for Novem- ber, which established a low record, The tonnage sunk during December was well below that of any month previous to September. Against this, however, the sinkings of sub- marines were greater in December than in any previous month since the war began. The Admiralty report for the week showed 18 merchantmen of _ 1609 tons or over sunk by mine or sub- marine. Three merchantmen under 1600 tons were also sunk. This is a material increase over the pre- vious week, when the sinkings num- bered 12, of which 11 were more than 1600 tons The summary was: sailings, 2074; ves- sels unsuccessfully attacked, 8. Submnrinecs Being Reduced. Naval men declare that more sub- marimes were sunk in December than the German shipyards were able to launch; so, the German submarine navy may now be said to have be- gun actually to shrink—a process which: the allies hope to accelerate rapidly with the increasing effective- ness of naval methods. The total entrances and clearances, while low for the past week owing to weather conditions, were larger in December than in November. The sinkings m the last month occurred mainly in two areas. Owing to the severe weather, the subma- rines have been compelled to concen- trate and work closer to shore. This, perhaps, accounts for the large num- ber of submarines caught. One of these was rammed in the most cas- ual’manner by a slow-going coastal steamer almost within gunshot of land. Americans already have been told of the success of an American liner’s gun crew on another, although this score will not be recognized by the Adimralty unless confirmed from some other sources owing to the fact that the gunners saw only a emeshed periscope, and the subma- Reports of encounters with sub marines in the last three months in- alone. ‘| French losses, both of dicate that whatever improvements have been made in the U-boats, they are not nearly so efficient or deadly as they were earlier-in the year. This is due partly to the lower stand- ard of their torpedoes and also to deterioriation in the quality of their crews. In “U-boating” as in avia- tion, experienged men are irreplac- able, and novices stand a poor chance. Veterans Easily Identified. The American naval ‘men have learned to identify the German U- boat veteran merely by the charac- ter of His operation, and can tell when the novice comes on their beat by the amateurishness of his meth- ods. Some of the German veterans, like the commander whom the Americans have nicknamed “Kelly,” are foemen worthy of the navy man’s best efforts, but the U-boat novices fall into the net easily and their chances of escape are small. Mine laying submarines continue very active and figures given the As- sociated Press today show that last year more than 4600 German mines were swept up in British waters The lane through which the American destroyers enter and leave their base is a fine spot for German mine layers and sweepers are kept constantly at work there. eect Nine French Merchant Ships Sunk in Week.

She will get back the efiicers and noncom- missioned officers in any case, and many of. them already have re- turned.

TEUTON FLYERS ACTIVE Eighteen Patients Killed When Air*Raiders Drop Bombs on Twe Hospitals. ROME, Jan. 3.—‘“On the whole front,” says the official statement is- sued today by the War Office, “there has been nothing of importance to report. “#“On Tuesday night enemy airmen dropped bombs on Castelfrance Ve- neto, obtaining -two direct hits on two hospitals. Eighteen patients were killed.” Yesterday’s report telling of the repulse of a new attempt to cross the Piave River 10 miles from its mouth, said* ‘“Ttalian and English batteries ex- ploded two enemy munition depots at Fontigo and south of Coneglmno. English patrols attacked enemy ad- vanced posts, inflicting losses and capturing prisoners. “About 10 vessels loaded with troops, which attempted to approach the right bank of the Piave at In- testadura were dispersed by our fire. “Aviators and English batteries brought down three enemy air- planes. Two others fell as the re- sult of aerial] battles with Italian and French aviators. During the night enemy aviators dropped bombs on Mestre and Treviso. No dam- age was done nor were there any casualties. Enemy aviators also bombed Bassano, where one person was killed and five’ persons were wounded. “Our squadrons bombed aviation camps at Lacomina and Aviano, causing extensive fires. Enemy movements at the railway station of St. Stino de Livenza and enemy bar- racks have been bombed effectively by an Italian dirigible.”’ British Repulse German Raiders Near La Bassee. LONDON, Jan. 3.—‘Hostile raid- ing parties were repulsed last night south and southwest of La Bassee, leaving a few prisoners in our hands,’’ the War Office reports. “The enemy artillery .showed con- siderable activity during the night east of Epehy.’’ More than 200 bombs' were dropped Tuesday by British aviators on various targets, including a large ammunition depot near Courtrai and the Inglemunster airdrome. street E'rench Repulse German Raids; Fir- ing Heavy on Aisne. PARIS, Jan. 3.—‘“Heavy artillery fighting occurred during the night, especially on the Aisne front, in ths region of Landricourt and Cavaliers de Courcy, in the sector of Maisons de Champagne, and on the right bank of the Meuse,” says today’s official report. “Two enemy raids, one south of the Oise, the other near Carnillet, were repulsed completely.” Home Robbed of $190.

Hoover finally declared with an apparent show of heat that he “didn’t care whether it was introduced or not.” Hoover said the sugar supply for next year promised to be 300,000 tons short of the estimated demand, but it was hoped to solve the shortage by conservation and limitation of supplying to manufacturers, of non- essential foodstuffs. -In urging Government purchase of sugar, Hoover explained to the com- mittee that through that method alone could refiners be paid an equit- able price. He said some beet fac- tories were making huge profits at the 7.25 cents a pound agreed upon for beet sugar, but, on the other hand, a factory in Michigan and “oO or two” in Colorado actually were losing money at that price. The witness denied that the Cuban price had been fixed by a committee formed of refiners at a price advan- tageous to them. The price, he said, was fixed by the State Department and the International Sugar Com- niittee had nothing to do.with it. The Cuban government wanted 5.25 cents a. pound, he said. The committee deemed this too high, and as the State Department then was nego- tiating with the Cuban government onthe matter, the committee dropped it. A price of 4.60 finally was agreed upon by the State* Department and the Cuban government, he said. Replying to the testimony of Claus A. Spreckels, president of the Federal Sugar Refining Co., that raw sugar was going through New York from Cuba to Canada when no sugar was to be had in New York, Hoover said four or five thousand tons did go through to a Canadian manufacturer who was paying high- er prices.

The private’s face beams. great stuff,” he says; “simply great.” Now that transformation, wrought between Christmas morning and represents in ‘a small way the change that has come over the ‘drafted men between the time they -entered camp last fall and the be- ginning of the New Year. For many of them it was a sere and lonesome October, with a- desolate outlook. Gradually the men of the National Army have found themselves. Stand- ing at what they now realize is the threshold of a great adventure, they are facing. the future. with clear- eyed confidence. Life at the canton- ment now, the great majority will tell you, is “fine.” The chief differ- ence is not in the cantonment self, though’ vast improvements have been made since the early days discomfort, but in the men themselves. This creation of a new spirit of the camp is the real modern miracle. Views by the Manicure. Incident No. 2.

Mr. @nd Mrs. L. W. Haynes ‘a 5455 Delmar boulevard have announced the marriage of their daughter, Misr Lucille Haynes, and Raymond H Wylie, son of Walter H. Wylie of $12 Goodfellow avenue, which took place on Monday. The bride was 2 student at Lenox Hall. The bride- groom is home on a furlough om Camp Funston.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos eontain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly. injure the ‘hair Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonsfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the 'hair and sealp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil, The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man- age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store.

These divisions will now be consolidated. The Chief of Ordnance will be assisted by an extensive ad- ministrative and advisory staff. The principal business functions of the departmént as distinct from the technical designing and other scien- tific work with which it is charged, will be carried on by four operating divisions: “(A) The procurement. division Lan will negotiate all orders and con- tracts for artillery, small arms, am- munition and other articles hereto- fore purchased by the various divi- sions of the Ordnance Department. “(B) The production division will have general charge of production.

Experi- enced business executives will be in charge of the procurement and pro- duction divisions, and the work of those divisions will be entrusted to recently commissioned civilians, sup- plemented by further acquisition of trained experts and men of proven business ability.” At Busy Bee Candy Shops Friday, Homemade Taffies, French Nougats, Butterscotch, Nut Brittles, etc., 25c Ib. —ADY.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. a y, LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Clergyman on Federal ee ‘@e the Editor of the Post-Dispaic bs Your editorial “An An War Stensure, surprises me in view of the “Post-Dispatch You virtually agree that war-time prohibi- tion, or at least restriction, is a good thing. If we have learned that prohibition among our soldiers and various classes of work- men is a good thing during the war, we also have learned that it must be a good thing for efficiency during peace; there- fore, the sooner we realize it the better for our nation. I cannot believe that there will be ‘‘dis- union and internal conflict’ unless it is # fostered and aroused by liquor interests } and such editorials as the one in this eve- ning's issue of the Post-Dispatch. I believe, and I am happy that 47 Senators and 282 members of e House believe, that this $esue will be voted upon by the American ‘people with calm consideration for the merits of the question and in their usual manner of dealing with national problems. The result, I am copyinced, will be the everlasting benefit @f our country and our “people, especially the poor for whom you profess sympathy. If the liquor interests want to prevent ““il-feeling and recrimination among mil- lions of our people” let them voluntarily step down and out. Force prohibition upon us and prove that it is not a good thing! And then when the vote is taken, if in the judgment of our people prohibition. Is harmful, they will wisely call upon tne re weries and distilleries to open up again. “We are called upon at every hand to sac- Wifice, to conserve, etc.; called upon to re- spond voluntarily and we willingly do so. It hurts us to see the tremendous waste of fuel “and grain and shipping space in the manu- ' facture and handling of liquor; cannot the Mauor interests make some voluntary sac- - rifices? ; EDWARD A.

' The following is quoted from a letter written by a member of the Third Engi- rieers, which was formed in Chicago. It _ was written somewhere in France, Oct. 13: "On July 21 we marched down Michigan boulevard in Chicago on our way to the t train, and there wasn’t one man in 10 that took off his hat when our flag passed. “Once in a while you would hear a faint hhandclap, but so faint you couldn't tell “avhere it came from..

It ts evident that the rank and file (the work- ‘ton man) will give his last drop of blood his last dollar in defense of the home- Platform” at the head of your column. / this A LONG STEP FORWARD.. President Wilson has acted wisely in authoriz- ing the State Department to make public the re- port of the House commission, which represented the United States at the inter-allied conference in Paris. This conference may prove to have been the turning point of the war, and it is high- | ly desirable that Congress and the country should | know what was accomplished there, so far as this | information can safely be made public. ! It is evident from the House report that a work | of great co-ordination was accomplished at this council. There are-at last definite assurances of | close military, naval, shipping and economic co- | operation. The report makes direct reference to | “the pooling of resources for the mutual advan- tage of all the countries engaged in the war against Germany.” It is stated that the contribu- tion of the United States “to this pooling arrange- ment was agreed upon,” and “the contributions | likewise of the countries associated with the Unit- ed States were determined.” | Germans because of the frequent and destructive [explosions and fires in plants devoted to the to come to this country and plot depredations in So far as the war activities of the United States are concerned the report carries three recom- | mendations: fluence to bring about unity of effort with the | That this country exert all its in-| allies; that every effort be made to hasten the | shipping program and that the fighting forces of | the United States be dispatched to Europe with | the least possible delay incident to training and equipment. The matter of equipment, where the | United States is deficient, is already provided for in the pooling agreement, and no argument is necessary in support of the recommendations rel- | ative to this shipping program. The Paris conference accomplished a task of such tremendous importance it will not be fully appreciated, perhaps, until the end of the war, | when the story can be told in all its details. It ought to gratify every American to know that the | influence of the United States was thrown fully | and frankly on the side of complete co-operation | and that nothing was left undone to break down ‘all international jealousies that might stand in the way. The success of the conference was due | mainly to the attitude of the American commis- | sion, and every promise of co-operation that the | commission made must be redeemed at its face | value. That is the way to win the war, and the only way to win it. The Central Powers have had the | benefit of centralized control and centralization must now be pitted against centralization. The | one complaint to be made against the Paris cor- ference is that it did not go further along this road and provide for a still greater measure cf | central authority. It is not necessary that any of the allies should | become the temporary vassal of the others, as is | the case of Austria-Hungary, but it is necessary that the allies should resolutely refuse to permit | themselves to be crippled in their military ef.ec- | tiveness by divided authority where division means weakness and delay. More is to be feared | from too little co-operation than from too much, | and it.is plain from the House report that the Paris conference marked a new stage in the prose- cution of the war against Prussianism. —-~-O-——__—_---—--- AMBASSADOR SPRING-RICE. | A successor to Ambassador Spring-Rice at the | British legation in Washington is soon to be ap- | pointed, it is said. The fifth year of the Am- | bassador’s service at this post would be completed on May 6, next. His term covers a period of greater importance than that of any other British representative at the American capital. It includes the time when the proposed policy as to Panama Canal tolls was a cause of irritation, the opening of the great war, the months when British maritime practices were giving offense and finally the months that saw the United States and England joined in the closest co-operation and pledging all national re- sources in life and material to a common military purpose. It would seem that sohnsitata might. be credited to the man in charge of British interests at our capital for the amazing changes brought about in the relations of the two countries. Certainly these years have had many occasions which would have justified a head of the British legation in permitting his personality to be brought fre- quently and prominently to the attention of the public. But if other official and unofficial British rep- resentatives have had just a trace of too much aggressiveness and have been inclined to give ad- vice on any and all occasions to the American people, Ambassador Spring-Rice’s personal policy has been one of almost complete self-effacement. | There is hardly a member of the diplomatic corps | | who has not figured more conspicuously in the | news. And it must be said that, whatever use-| fulness British diplomats of a different type may | have had in the past and may have again in the | future, a man of Spring-Rice's intelligent and unfailing deference to American sensibilities has seemed to be exactly the sort of a man who would | try, ‘are now exemplifying at home the breadth of ‘their murderous experience and the perfection many decades of the future. | Louis, against | these marriages were for the worse. ' that there were 441 more births in St. | 1917 than in 1916, and consequently 882 happier } tically every case they have proved satisfactory | and employers are looking for more of. them. Of course, after the war youth will probably again have its way, but perhaps the hysteria against employing strong, healthy and intelligent men who have passed the age of 40 or thereabouts will have passed and work will be available for | all who are able and willing to work. _- = = i i a THE OLD LAW OF COMPENSATION. Serious alarm is reported among high-placed manufacture of munitions and equipment for their armies. It is suspected that German workmen are en- gaged in a systematic and peculiarly disquieting form of sabotage for the purpose of ‘neaventng the end of the war. Doubtless some of those whom Germany trained our industries were unable to obtain transport to the United States and so remained to try their practiced skill on Germany's own plants. Or) ‘perhaps some of these specialists in infernal | practices, after a successful career in this coun- | were enabled to make their way back and of their cowardly technique. At any rate, if Germany’s losses from this cause should increase, as they may be expected to do, | and become a factor of some importance in the outcome of the war, it would only be another | example of the automatic retribution invited by | | an individual or nation that deliberately departs from the standards of humanity and righteous | dealing. Whatever other penal measures Germany must | | subject herself to at the hands of the victorious | allies in requital of the wrong she has done, she must read in the record of her own criminal ' courts during long years after the war the con- 'gequences of the lawlessness to which she has | habituated her own people in Servia, in Belgium, | in France and on the high seas. She has been sowing the wind for.only a while. She will be reaping the whirlwind during | We may depend on it that the great law of compensation will op- erate with its usual reliable and efficacious re- | sults. inna oe -&+¢ee iceman > ae nace GOD ) BLESS ST. LOUIS. | It is a true saying that all the world loves a. lover, and with this fact in mind we must point | | with pride to the 1917 record for marriage li- censes. During the year that has just closed | there were 8550 marriage licenses issued in St. | 7556 for the preceding vear. The record shows that the next nearest approach to these figures was in 1907, 10 vears ago, in times | of peace, when there were 8100 couples who de- cided to cast their respective lots together for: better or for worse. Let us hope that few of We may add Louis in parents in that year than in the previous year. When more couples are married one year than the year previous 4nd more babies born in St. Louis than ever before, we cannot help saving: God bless St. Louis. STEREO: ESSRESURE DEAD OF RES Ce AAA OE OUR STABLE GOVERNMENT. The fact that neither of the major political parties has a majority in the House of Repre- sentatives is chiefly interesting for the contrast it gives between governmental security in this country and the uncertainty that such a situation would involve among our leading allies, Britain and France, It would mean in England, for instance, that no Cabinet Minister from the Premier down could know on any morning whether he would be in office by midnight. It would mean that five in- dependent voters could join the opposition and overthrow the Ministry at an hour’s notice. A single rash or hasty action might undo tthe la- borious planning of months and throw public af- fairs into unspeakable confusion. With us it makes little difference, so \far as the great business in which we are engaged, that of winning the war, is concerned, whether the six independents shall stand by the 211 Democrats or cast-in their lot with the 209 Republicans. Such a change would not necessarily weaken the hands “of the executive authorities. The |Presi- dent and his Cabinet would not have to turn their attention from more important things to engage in any mere partisan bickerings. Nor would par- tisanship find it worth while to trouble the wa- ters when so little cffuld be gained. There are times, no doubt, when we have yearned for a more elastic system, but those were times of peace, when the very existence of the republic was not in danger. The system we have | was designed to meet just such an emergency as’ | the present and the wisdom of the fathers is today amply vindicated. little | : | COL. HOUSE. | ea ee JUST A MINUTE R. E.

Think of the starving old peo- ple and children in many countries, of the widowed young women, and of the old women who never again will see their sons! Think of the mil- lions of soldiers in the last bitter hours of mortal agony! Think of the gnawed skulls of men in the slimy bottoms of many seas! The Kaiser spares his own sons, yet sends the sons of his subjects like sheep into the shambles, and lays their mothers and Sisters in untimely graves. Upon his head is the blood of ten million men, for he could have prevented this war. In Dante's picture of hell he has no equal, for his is the brutal soul of savage things put into human shape, the maddened dog that learned our common speech, the viper standing upright clothed as man. For vanity he set the world aflame. Too long the crown has crazed his festered brain. Why should we not use words of hate—words of flaming, undying hate against him who stands at the head of the most fiendish of all historic outrages? It is time for hate, and sacrifice born of brooding hate! Why wait till the wounded come back? Why wait till the lists of the dead come in? Sometimes, sitting at my table in the night, sud- denly I think I can hear the newsboys breaking the deep silence with their far-away cries of ‘‘Extra! Extra!’’ Something tells me, ‘‘They’ve got him!’’ I listen again. The night is silent. The thing was bern of the hope in my brain. But some night it will be trne! And then through all the world will go up a prayer of thanks! And through all eternity, the anguish that he wrought will terrify his outcast soul, as to and fro it wanders trembling through the pits of hell!

Time was before the war when the universal ' cry was for youth. A man beyond 40 in indus- | trial lines, unless he held a position of executive importance, was believed to have passed his cli- | max of usefulness and to be on the road to senile desuetude. The cry for youth had reached the point of the ridiculous when the war came. With the drafting and enlisting of young men | in the country’s armed service there naturally | came a demand for the older men of experience.

In the last three years the total number of sheep in this country has decreased 1,2)0.000 and the wool yield has fallen off nearly 5,000,000 | | pounds.

There are smug, successful human beings of both by the degree of importance love seems to have for those it touches. tions they inspire and women who arouse themselves. T is just as foolish to think that every one is capable of loving as to believe that every one can write poetry, bulld cathedrals or dance like Isadora Duncan. Men speak of the seven arts, ignoring love, the eighth and greatest art, which includes all the others. We are asked, sometimes, why men have surpassed women in the seven arts, but it t& rarely claimed that I have thought occasionally that it is because women, as mothers, are in life itself that they are generally less successful than men in the more perishable njediums of words, music, paint or clay. However this may be, I should say that the proportion of men to wom- en capable of experiencing a serious | love is about one to 25. Love leads a double life in the| hearts of many men.

HIS opinion, one of the ugly weeds of puritanism, is quite common among certain types of young men and I don’t know which I pity more, the unfortunates they love.or the victims of their respect. No such division occurs in the first Age of Love—the Age of Dreams, an agé which rarely lasts into the twen- ties, but which may begin at 12 or even 10 or 8. In the last generation and in every generation before boys had many things to dream ot —of being soldiers, being President, being cowboys or gold seekers, but girls had only a single theme. They could be nothing, have nothing ex- cept through love. And so girls be- gan to think about love very early indeed. My own very early childhood was made glorious by a dream of a be- ing known both to me and the nurse who had told me about him as the Prince of ‘‘Whales.”” At the age of 4 I had fully determined to marry him and would sometimes describe to other little girls the blue silk dress I intended to wear at the cere- mony. And then one day an ambi- tious little listener broke into the blue-silk rhapsody to say that she too was going to marry the Prince of Whales (we all thought his name meant that he was a whale of a Prince). ] WAS perfectly willing to divide him, stinginess never having been one of my vices, but another far wiser little girl threw the Apple of Discord into the little group by de- claring that only one of us could be Discussion rose to argu- ment and argument to personal com- bat, which brought the mother of my rival into the room. And she with what she fondly believed was the sapiency of Solomon, put an end to the row and also to my first day dream by saying that the Prince of ‘Whales’’ was middle-aged, married, and had children old enough to be our mothers. So end all dreams. And so all Princes turn out.to be middle age: and married, even if we have to marry them ourselves. But their reign is glorious nevertheless and the Age of Dreams is the Golden Age of Love. ms ee ee ee —_ —-* “We wanted to get across fell into our scheme easily.

Branch submitted to an examina- tion that endured for the better part of an hour. It ran like this: “Will you trade Rogers Hornsby or have you an offer for him under consideration?” “Positively not. for Hornsby nor have I ever one.” “What sort of an offer would ap- peal to you?” Branch pondered a moment, then replied: “If McGraw would offer Fletcher, Burns, Kauff and Schupp with some cash, I might consider it. I told Charlie Weeghman he could have Hornsby for Alexander, Vaughn and $100,000. I wasn't joking, either.” About Charlie Weeghman. “You say you've never had an of fer for Hornsby—isn’'t it a fact that Weeghman offered you something on his last trip here?” Weeghman did not make me a definite offer.’ “Are you and Jack Hendricks go- ing to meet Weeghman and Mitchell in Cincinnati Monday?” “I noticed,” Branch “where we were so dated in the newspapers. I know nothing of such a conference. Furthermore, I will any that if Charlie Weeghman makes me a definite offer for Hornsby in Cincinnati Monday, it will be the first he has ever made.” “What about that $50,000 Weegh- man offered in a letter to you?” “I never considered that a legiti- mate offer,” replied Rickey. “Weegh- man admitted to me later that he was merely kidding me in that letter. I don’t think he ever meant to give $50,000 for Hornsby and he might as well have offered 10 times. that amount because he knew there was no chance for me to accept yy. As for the $75,000 he is reported to have offered, that’s pure bunk. I never henrd of it.” “Would it be safe that *T have no offer had answered, to say Cardinals next season?’ “It certainly would,” was the re- ply. “Unless Weeghman meets the proposition I made him or .MeGraw comes across, Hornsby will gtay with us. That's the safest bet of the baseball world.” The three points which stand out from Rickey’s interview are: Hornsby will not be traded. A big trade is in the offing in the National League. Weeghman’s talk about Horns- by is merely a publicity scheme to divide interest with the White Sox in Chicago.
