Seamen of New York, the ‘holder of several shares of stock, and is filed by Ephrim Caplan, a young 8t. Louis attorney, who for several years has been prominent in representing im- ‘provement and other civic organiza- tions in their efforts to obtain rea- sonable service from the United Railways Co. The defendants in the proceedings are the United Railways Co. and all of its directors of 1908, which in- cludes several men now serving on the beard and some who are not at present there. In the list of individ- uals are Richard McCulloch, presi- dent; Henry 8. Priest, counselor; John I. Beggs, Festus J. Wade, the Mercantile Trust Co., trustee for the estate of the late James Campbell; the heirs and trustees for the estate of the late Charlies Huttig. Other de- fendants are the Union Electric Co, Charles 8S. Ruffner, its president; the Electric Co, of Missouri, a subsidiary of the Union Electric company. An examination of the lengthy petition, which runs from 19,000 to 15,000 words, shows that the whole proceeding is based on the assertion that the company, although now in admittedly a serious financial plight, is entirely solvent and is only embar - 'rassed for two reasons. It is assert- ed in the petition that the defend- ant directors who were in the direc- tory in 1908 caused the company to /make power contracts with the Union Electric and the Electric Company | of Mic-souri, not in the interest of the | company, but to serve a certain “one interest,” that interest being the North American Co., which ‘owns Union Electric and the Electric Com- pany of Missouri, as well as the United Railways Co. It is alleged that several of the in- dividual directors made defendants were dfrectors or stockholders in the North American company at the time these prior contracts were made. in Expense Legal Department. It is alleged throughout the peti- tion that these directors in all of their official actions for the com- pany were actuated by this “one in- terest” rather than the interest of the United Rallways Co.

Mean- while, there is the strain of knowing | alw ays that the next instant one of the thousands of flying shell splin- ters may reach a vital spot in either machine or pilot. Yet it is not possible to avoid fly- ing through a barrage at times. The latest type of antiaircraft guns can place a barrage as high as 23,000 feet, and it is not practical to turn about and try to climb over the bar- rage. It takes a very highly spe- cialized scout machine to climb to 23,000 feet, and the heavier machines cannot achieve that altitude under any circumstances, The longer the airman hesitates to run the barrage, the longer he is exposed to the fire. Antiaircraft gunnery at the front has now reached a point where the range is | calculated to a nicety almost instan- ' taneously by processes of triangula- tion ad, therefore, the flyer who hesitates is lost. The only thing he can do is to take his chance, just as a ship at sea takes a storm and accepts its chances of weathering the gale. Next to the barrage, the most feared of the ground defenses is the “cluster.” This is a group of six antiaircraft shells, sent up together and placed just ahead of the ma- chine, with one shell aimed to burst | Ahead and one farther and directly | ahead.

Sector ‘Held by American Troops sheiiee of the Lieutenant i in Coniiiuand of Platoon |men—sometimes called also “shock Attacked, and Effect of Long-Planned At- tempt on Men of U. S., in Trenches Only a Few Hours. BY THOMAS MARVIN JOUNSON, Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. (Copyright, 1918.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 13.—A little more than a month ago the “man in the street” in the United States was star- tled to read in the newspaper he bought that the German War Office announced the capture of “North -American prisoners” as the result of a trench raid. The next day he read that Gen. Pershing had reported to Washing- ton that the enemy actually had raided our trenches on the western front, killed three men, wounded five and captured 12, which turned out later to be 11. One more day and he read the frst detailed account of what had hap- pened, how the Americans, smoth- ered by artillery fire and greatly out- numbered, had made a gallant fight. and despite their losses had proved themselves real soldiers, as cabled by the correspondents with the army the moment permission was given. For some days thereafter he read a fzood deal about that raid. Perhaps he would be willing to read a little more; a sort of summing up of the whole affair from all the reports col- lected by our staff. For military reasons some things must be left out even now, but it is possible to pre- sent a fairly complete account of what actually took place, particular- ly of how the Germans did it—and of just what effect it had upon the boys over here individually and upon the army in general. Raid Lasted Only Few Minutes. As a matter of fact that raid lasted only a few minutes, and its effect upon the rifilitary situation was just nothing. But it was the very first occasion when American troops. ac- tually fought German troops or, for the matter of that, ever fought on the soil of Europe. Those three graves right behind the trenches hold the first soldiers of the American army killed in man- to-man fighting in this war. And aside from that the Germans gave us, in this raid, one of the most valuable for those graves, and for the 11 men whoyare in Germaany, we wouldn't! . have missed it for the world. It meant a good deal to us, that raid. The raid took place “near the Rhine-Marne canal,” a narrow slit of dirty, brown water flowing be- tween stone walled banks which crosses the front north of Luneville. Beyond that, it is inadvisable to go. The time was 2:50 on the morning of Nov. 3. At 10 o'clock the preceding night |}. the platoon that was raided had re- lieved another platoon of Americar troops, then in the sector. It was raining, the dense, smothering. rain | of France, and it was very dark: The men, coming into the trenches after three days spent in the rock piles wf ruined villages a short distance be- hind the trenches, had little oppor- tunity to make themselves at home hew surroundings. Perhaps it would be as well to tell first what went on in the trenches before and during the. the platoon told it in his report Commanding Officer's rt. This officer is a Second Lieutenant, u% graduate of an officers’ training camp at Fort Riley, Kan. He was at- tached to the regiment only a short time before it went up to the front. “The relief was completed at 10 p. m,, a8 I reported from my dugout by runner,” he said in his report on the raid, written, by the way, in hos- pital, where he lay in bed suffering from shell shock. .“I then made a tour of inspection to see that no mis- take been made in posting the men. en I returned to the dug- out, nt H. was placing the packs inside, the packs of the men on post. I sent a runner to the sup- port platoon, asking that my blanket with the wrong bundle, and I was, without light of any kind. “Tl went on a slow tour of the sec- tor, looking into all the dark corners | to familiarize myself with them. ! had shots fired from an automatic | rifle post to enable the men to locate the gun. I then stopped in @ corru- gated iron hut near post X (the designation of this post is purposely changed). It was then nearly 3 A. M. | Sergeant H found rockets, but did not know what kind they were and was on his way to another trench, I told him I would join him later at the dugout | and look over the rockets. A moment later the first shell fell.” The Lieutenant was then almost at the apex of the salient that the Germans raided. It forms practically a right angle in the front line trench, with a barbed wire belt on each side. Running back from the front line jare a number of communicating trenches which, like the front line trench, are zigzagged. Lieutenant Shocked by Shells. “T went north to get the men #nto the dugouts. I warned post X, and then near post Y I was knocked down by the explosion of a shell, but I got up. I was blown by the entrance of another trench by another shell. I turned back, but the revetment (trench wall) had been pushed in. I started for my dugout, but shella | hot that I stopped in a bombproof.

At the corner of the front trench and Trench 2 we threw balls of wire into the trench to trip up any Germans who might appear. I sent a man back to awaken the men sleeping in the dugouts and bring them forward. The raid was over.’ There is the Lieutenant's report, reported that he haa. prose in the salient to be raided to were hitting all around and it got so} proof or ‘hit so close to it that it | One man. tearry out the long-planned raid at once. | The officer chosen to commanc the raiders was a Lieut. Wolf, a fo-mer schoolmaster in.Alsace. He was ziven ,a force composed, all told, of 210 men, exceedingly large for a trench rald on a small sector. It was made up largely of Stosstruppen, pieked imen who are used only in attack and ‘have special privileges to compensate ‘the greater risks they take: To these | troops’ '—-were added volunteers, | among them light cavalrymen and | ‘artillery pioneers. They were forbid- ,den to carry gas masks, which might | impede their movements, and were. armed with grenades, rifles, revolv- | ers and trench knives. They wore | | blue and white brassards, the Mave | tian colors. | Heavy Barrage Fire. | At 2:50 o'clock the barrage megan | Land with it considerable other artil-' lery fire that was all a part of the raid. A very dense and precise fire from 77 millimeter guns and from guns of larger calibers was directed upon the sector to be attacked, to insure the Americans getting into their dugouts, so that they would not | be in the trench, ready to fight, when eer raiders entered. At the same time all the communi- | cating trenches leading up to the front line were hammered with guns | of Similar caliber. Thus the artil- |lery fire first confine@ the Ameri- their dugouts and then practically | cut off the salient from help. | To make the thing complete, Ger- man batteries also directed a less | cense bombardment upon the Amer- ican battery in charge of laying a barrage in front of the salient, and upon adjoining French batteries. The last part of the German artil- lery program was to direct a fairly heavy fire upon other trench sectors to right and left of the salient so as to create uncertainty as to just where the attack was coming and to pre- vent reinforcing the salient. All told, 16 batteries, or 64 guns of varying calibers, took part in the | preparation. -It is estimated that they fired 7000 shells. There were about 25 Americans in the trench. | Raiders in Two Parties. It is extremely unlikely that all of 210 Germans actually entered ‘the trench. It is very probable that} ‘the former pedagogue, Wolf, @estab- lished a@fieid: post of command just /outside our wire and that he kept with him a number of men for ‘eventualities and detailed others a ‘keep open the lanes through the'| barbed wire and guide the returning | raiders to them.

The whole party had crept up across the half mile of No- Mer Land pretty close to our barbed wire, | which was about 100 yards in ad-| vance of the front line, a short time | before the barrage began. The mo- | ment it began, they crept up closer, — oe with a few necessary deletions and | alterations, of.-what occurred. Sup- plemented by the stories of individ- ual soldiers, it. is pletty clear that and sent forward two parties of a. few men each, with a section of gas- pipe charged with high explosive powder, with a fuse attached. Both parties lit their fuses, but only the some men in the platoon were asleep underground and so were captured. pipe on the eastern face of the salient that those who were awake and in that part of the trench that the Germans entered put up a fine fight with whatever weapons they had, that a Corporal out in a listening post took his life in his hands and emptied his rifle at Germans who were all around him in the dark, and that, in short, the American soldier stood well his first test in a fight. Of the three mén killed one was killed by a shell before the raid began. These men had little or no idea of what actually was happening. Raid Planned Months Before. Now, here is approximately what happened: In the month of August, long be- fore American troops:entered the sector, the Germans started to pre- pare that raid. They did not know then when or where they were going to find Americans, probably Ameri- cans never entered their heads; they were planning a little surprise party for the French in this quiet sector. So, some distance behind their lines they dug trenches that were as near- -ly as possible an exact replica of the salient of French trenches that they attacked. as airplane photographs and other ‘observation revealed them. The object wes the same as the ob- ject of practically all trench raids, to capture a few prisoners and by ques- tioning them to ascertain the strength, units and disposition of the French troops facing them. Then, one day late in October, they found Americans were occupying the roll be sent up. I wanted the candles that were tn it. iN]] TTT ——— The runner returned raid. exploded. The Germans on the west- ern side cut the wire with wire cut- ters—they left a pair of them lying on the ground—and pulled up the stakes with their hands. It was only a short distance from the wire to the trench, and before most of the Americans could get out of their underground shelters, where they had gone as ordered, the Ger- mans were upon them. One German Killed, One Captured. The German losses were one man killed and one captured, so far as we know positively. It is also indi- cated that the Germans carried back several wounded. They abandoned in the barbed wire entanglements three rifles, the wire cutter and some other equipment. Incidentally, the German commu- nique claimed the capture of a ma- chine gun. If the German general staff considers an automatic rifle a machine gun, that is a true state- ment. The Germans did take back with them one Chauchat automatic rifle. They captured no machine guns. Our troops were surprised— stunned a little by the attack. They had had scarcely time to get settled down in their new surroundings when came this smashing bombard- ment, then the- sudden rush of Ger- mans out of the rain and darkness. A little later they were mad clear through. They would have been an vgely lot for another party of Ger- mans, or, better still, the same party, to have met again. ; trench salient they had chosen to Immediately they decided to ' Lesson for American Troops. As soon as the staff was able to could, that he really must keep his lrailroads and get a clear and complete view of what had happened and how, a con- cise statement of the facts was print- | ed and distributed throughout the army. Each company or unit com- mander_read it to hig troops, with | the injunction that it should not be forgotten and that it should not be discussed with civilians. So that.ev- ery soldier was told about all there was to te)]l about the raid very soon after it happened; there was no hushing up of anything. Probably that schoolmaster-Lieu- tenant taught one of his most valu- able lessons that night. He taught | the American army that it has some | serious work ahead of it and that) men are going to lose their Nves in | carrying out that work. That raid taught the average |'Ameriean soldier as nothing else head down when he is in a trench, and get into a dugout when bom- bardments start. But above all, knowing about that Corporal all alone, surrounded by.

epee By THOMAS MARVIN JOHNSON, A Special Correspondent ef the Post-. Dispatch. (Copyright, 1917.) WITH THE AMBERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 15.—The Ameri- ean troops have had fn the trenches about every experience that soldiers in action can have, save that of a big attack. The time for that will come later, but already they have been raided, bombarded, patroled No Man's Land, dug trenches and run the gamut of war. They have had, too, escapes which go to prove the truth of what Ar- thur Guy Empey sald about the ‘trenches not being sure death to ev- _ ety man who entered them, and of what ordnance experts will tell you about ‘how miany shots must be fired to kill a man. There was the man sitting at the entrance to a dugout on sentry duty ’ when he heard the far off boom of a German 77 and then the whistle of the shell. It seemed to come nearer, in fact, it seemed to be coming straight for him. Every young sol- dier, they say, has that hunch for awhile; every shell he hears is com- ing straight for him and for him alone. This one was no exception to the rule, and remembering his officers’ orders always to take cover when he was under shell fire, he made a dive for the dugout. He slfpped on the top step and flung up his arm to regain his balance. The arm was his right arm, and the hand held his Springfield rifle. Escaped Death by Inches. He felt a numbing shock, his right erm was paralyzed for an instant, and he dropped the rifle. Scarcely 16 yards behind him came the crash of the exploding shell, luckily on the - other side of the embankment to _ the rear of the trench. He stared down dazed at the rifle. The butt jad been taken off almost as clean- ly as with an ax and had vanished; nothing was left but the stock and part of the leather sling. Nothing will persuade that soldier that the shell itself in full career didn’t hit that rifle as he thrust it up above his head. “Gee, suppose slipped,” he said. In this same battalion six men had a narrow squeak of it on the day when the battalion was relieved and left the trenches. To facilitate get- ting his supplies out of the trenches the commander had established at ® cross-roads little less than a mile to the rear a “dump,” which means simply a place where the men car- ried ammunition, rations and other impedimenta and deposited them for the trucks and mule wagons to pick -| Up and warry back to camp. The _ German artillery had paid. little or no attention to that cross-roads, and aio my foot hadn’t would have had an excellent test. a high-explosive shell, and it landed ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —_—— cnt acm a — «+ eo ——- - — Shee easy a ne a te . . on —_ meres : cra wes “gs Aer Gide aM ae : % ~ vs ‘ aStald i: SB Tas aie apes § RRL AGRE Th ae Rie ats é ST EA ee. een, aa Tee See gy eee Maer tee” ce ae tee LOR Fae te 8 oe eae ae P, ee by hag F) Be, bi nn tapes 7 Oye ae gS TE ee REEF AT A ee PEM ate eng Oda oY ’ x co ap ars oy Lat cha eres canke - W cai Be hg ARIS Pea ne - , 5 7 ‘7 = - * = ' MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1978. ~ ed Wee or Bs Se eee ‘ Mee ae MEL Pe SR ns AG z a ae! “ a Saat” 7 gaa SS oP R aS Se 5 A eee See ee be AK tJ landed fair and square on a pile of light blue boxes filled with machine gun. ammunition, several thousand rounds in all.

Back home there vas a Chinese laundryman who every Fourth of July hung to a tree a string of firecrackers imported from the banks of his own Yank-tse and then set them off; the machine gun cartridge sounded just like that, ‘lwith the difference that the fire- orackers didn’t have bullets at- tr ched. There were six men within a ra- dius of 75 feet of that spitting pile of ammunition bexes. Bullets, and even copper __ cartridge cases, Whizzed and whistled about their heads—‘“just like a bunch of bees,” one of them said—but not a man was even scratched. Then there was who, by the Way, the Lieutenant was graduated the “shell instinct” of his French guide for his life. They started in mid-afternoon to ride up from the shell smashed village to the rear, where the support position was situ- ated, to the front line trenches, using bicycles, for there was a sort of road and they wanted to keep their feet dry. There was just one danger spot on that road where it crossed a little rise in view of a German artillery observation post. The German guns were keeping up a steady, though not heavy, bombardment of the area just behind the trenches, paying especial attention to the roads, and once or twice bursting shells sent up their clouds of black smoke rather near, but it was already getting dusk and the risk seemed small.

HIGHER FARES FROM ST. LOUIS Minor Increases to Points East and West Authorized. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The In- terstate Commerce Commission to- day authorized proposal of a new schedule of passenger fares from St. Louis to points East and West, in- volving a readjustment of through rates and a number of minor in- creases, — THOS, FURLONG, NOTED PRIVATE DETECTIVE, DE Played Prominent Part in Max- well-Preller Murder, Texas Cot- ton Swindle and Glencoe Robbery. Thomas Furlong, 74 years old, of 12256 Goodfellow avenue, a noted private detective and head of Fur- long’s Secret Service Co., died of in- testinal trouble yesterday at St. Luke’s Hospital, where he had been under treatment about two weeks. Furlong was widely known as a thief catcher, especially in connec- tion with railroad secret. service, and was said to be one of the oldest detectives in the United States. He had played a prominent part in ob- taining evidence in many criminal cases in the West and Southwest, notably the Maxwell-Preller murder, the Texas cotton swindle, the Dallas arson case and the Glencoe train robbery near St. Louis. f When 20 years old he began his career as a detective in the United States Secret Service when it was established in 1864. In the same year he married Elizabeth Hagerty at Franklin, Pa. He was Chief of Police of Oil City, Pa., from 1874 to 1878, when he established for the Pennsylvania Railroad the first spe- clal railroad detective service in the United States. He came to St. Louis in 1880 and organized a similar service for the Missouri Pacific. It was in this connection that he achieved most of his fame as a de- tective. Furlong was said to have cap- tured and convicted more box car robbers than any other man in St. Louis territory. After one roundup in East St. Louis he used a special car to convey his prisoners to Belle- ville and he obtained 18 convictions. The theft of $6500 from a safe in the East St.-Louls Police Station in 1884 was one of the mysteries solved by Furlong. He found proof that the Night Chief of Police, a saloon keeper and a professional safe blow- er conspired to commit the theft. All were sent to the penitentiary. Furlong’s agency obtained evidence Post-Dispatch Wants point the way to comfortable rooms and good board.

ROME, Jan. 7.—In thanking the Roman aristocracy Saturday for their Christmas and New Year’s greetings, Pope Benedict expressed his appre- ciation that the nobility had indorsed “our words with which we recently invited the peoples of the earth to return to God with the view of has- tening the end of the frightful mis- fortune which has afflicted the world for more than three years. “We must return to Christ,” his holiness added, “in order once more to enjoy the benefits of civilization.” | The Pontiff said the road whereby to return to Christ was that of justice and love. He expressed satisfaction that the nobility had joined the Holy See in condemning the recent air raids, which were against the rights of man. The Pope raised his voice against the form of warfare which is used against undefended bringing military results and which causes victims among noncomba- tants, besides damaging churches and art treasures, thus increasing national hatreda NEWS PRINT HEARING BEGUN Testimony Taken as to Fair Price for Paper.

Archbishop Glennon, in tennial sermon at the Old Cathedral yesterday morning, at an obdserv- ance of the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Bishop William Louis Du- bourg in St. Louis, spoKe of the war as having caused a return to fre- ligious faith. He said the French had been aroused by the bombard- ment of Rheims Cathedral as by nothing else. Of America’s part in the war, he said: “In their going. our soldiers wil! remember, as did the martyrs of old, the cross of Christ. They ‘will bear it with them to the battlefield, and when they fall they wil! ask that it be set near the place where they lie. They will bring back to the army the faith that heretofore was disregarded. Our soldiers will be crusaders, and the end thereof shall be a victory for justice, faith and love.” | At the New Cathedral In the after-. = ee Encountering More Planes Over French Territory.

Edward Wales, having de- clared his unbelief in vulgar super- | occupies the thirteenth chair. Out of the gloom comes the gur- gling merriment of the medium’s control, “Laughing Eyes,”’ but quick- ly the voice changes to a masculine one, subterranean, remote, laden with agony, bloodcurdling. Wales recognizes it as that of his friend, Spencer Lee, recently murdered by a knife thrust in the back, and pas- sionately appeals to the “spirit’’ to reveal the name of the assassin. The ghastly accents seem struggling on the verge of the disclosure, when there is a hair-raising groan. The lights go on. The circle remains intact, but Edward Wales is bowed | in his seat, dead from a stab in the back. The weapon has vanished. Abundance of Nervous Chills.

The plot of the piece deals with the attempt of Mawruss Perlmutter to break into high finance over the objections of his partner and wife. He comes to grief, through the vil- lainies of B. Gans, but all ends well. The plot is rather a tenuous thing, 'but no plot is needed when Abe and Mawruss are on the stage, which is all the time. “Mutt and Jeff” Draws House at Imperial. The transfer of the American The- ater attractions to the Imperial opened auspiciously last night with the presentation of “Mutt and Jeff Divorced” to a packed house. The train bringing the company to St. Louls was delayed by a wreck and arrived too late for a matinee per- formance. Bud Fisher's famous characters, part of the Post-Dispatch’s back page family, frolicked through three laughable and tuneful acts, and al- though “‘Mutt and Jeff’ has become a hardy perennial of the stage, all the songs and lines have been brought up to date. Earl Redding and Jerry Sullivan, whose general physical pro- } ortions are like those of Mutt and Jeff as drawn by Fisher, accomplish wonders in makeup in looking their parts. Capacity KAISER’S PRESENCE IN BELGIUM UNKNOWN EVEN TO TRAINMEN | —— Stations Absolutely Cleared for Ar- rival, Guards Being Made to Pile Arms, Writes Correspondent. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, Dec. 15.—So closely is the German Emperor guarded when he travels by rail through Belgium that his movements are kept even from the railroad officials handling his train up to the last possible. mo- ment, according to a correspondent of the Chronicle who several times has witnessed the Emperor's arrival. Describing one such arrival of the Emperor's train the correspondent says: “All workmen, on this occa- sion, whether Belgian or German, were dispatched outside, and access to the station was forbidden. This applied to all passengers as well. The military guards occupying parts of the station and environs were ordered to leave their posts and pile their arms. The only persons alowed on the platform were the station master; his employes appointed to work the signals, and the military chief. There was no guard of honor, no manifesta- tion. ‘This clearing of the station takes place at every station through which the train passes, which it does at the maximum regulation speed. “During the presence of the Kaiser the officials always display the ut- most nervousness in fear of anything taking place. The fact that even the military are obliged to retire and pile their arms seems to suggest a distrust of his own army.” Plan to Make Virginia “Bone Dry.” RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 7.—The Austrian Socialist Leader Dies. ypewri AMSTERDAM, Jan. 7.—The death! through Post-Dispatch Wants.

e aaa _ WARCERTIFCATE ‘ Bankers’ Team to Solicit From ~ jth: Say waits ri “Republican headquarters in the Odd ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1918. CAMPAIGN BEGUN Persons Able to Invest Limit of $1000. Bankers and brokers, and em- ployes of banks and brokerage houses, met at luncheon at the Stat- ler Hotel today to launch a cam- paign for $1000 subscriptions to the new Government War Savings Cer- tificates. Not more than 31000 worth of the certificates can be issued to any individual. The bankers’ team. working under the direction of J. Sheppard Smith, and the brokers, under Charles W. Moore, will solicit only the subscrip- tions of corporations and persons able to buy $1000 allotments. The aale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates to the\ general public is to be handled by a agents and members of the Repub- Iican ward organization, wha have volunteered for this service. The ward workers received their instruc- tions at a meeting held yesterday in the city hall rotunda, where they were addressed by Chairman Schmoll of the Republican City Committee, President Aloe of the Board of Al- dermen and Festus J. Wade, State Director of the war savings cam- paign. The ward workers will start to- morrow on,-their house-to-house | canvass. They will solicit only or- ders, which will be turned in at the Fellows Building, and after being tabulated, will be turned over to the Postmaster. Letter carriers will de- liver the stamps and collect from the subscribers. Thrift stamp sales booths, in charge of women, were opened in the large stores today. Mrs. Henry W.

ROLSHEVIKI TAKING DEFINITE ing to Fight for an Ideal Told by Russian in Peace Con- f are definitely strengthening front, Petrograd advices say. correspondent of the Daily News ob- tained this information from M. Ra- dek, one of the Russian’ delegates who took a prominent part in the ne gotiations with the Austrians and Germans at Petrograd. He said the Bolsheviki were intending to send home all who did not wish to fight, so that they would have an army which was willing to fight for an ideal. The correspondent asked what would be the attitude of the Bol- sheviki in case of actual war, with regard to help from the allies. M. Radek replied: “We do not desire their help. Our strength lies in our weakness, and if we acccepted help from the allies the significance of our position would be destroyed. The weaker we are, the stronger we are. The Germans can drive us back, but what good would it do them? “The country behind the front has been stripped bare. There is not enough there to feed a single horse. The Germans will not wish millions of starving persons on their hands. “We stand for a democratic peace. So do the German working classes. If the German Government attacks us it will display itself to its own people in its true light.” I Pro-German College Head Ousted. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 7.—Dr. Ar- thur L.

To- day it is the glory of ‘the American. America needs its strong men, and is calling them because they are strong. Men of two kinds must be reckoned with in these critical days. One kind is a burden and a drag on the Government. They fill the imstitutions, the prisons, and the internment camps. They must be carried as a dead weight, as impediments in America’s onward course. Thank God, the other kind is far more numerous! They are the men who lift and carry their country’s burdens. They exult in their strength. They take up, with glad hearts, their share of the load, and push out in front, “rejoicing as a strong man to run a race.” : - The nation has sent its boys to war. Now it calls its men and women at home to pay the money without which the war will fail and the boys will die. It calls six and a half million men, because of their greater strength, to carry a greater share of their country’s burden of life and ‘death. The name of their special share of the patriot’s burden is ‘Income Tax.” Every unmarried man whose income in 1917 was as much as one thousand dollars and every married man whose income was two thousand dollars or more must make a report to the Government, by March 1}, 1918, on a printed form provided for the purpose. Inquire of any bank. WHY have we sent our boys out from our homes into the furnace of war? Why have we sent our young men, the strength, and hope, and pride of our nation, to face the fury of the Hun? Why have we urged them to go, and cheered them as they marched away, while we stayed at home? It is not because we wanted them to do our part, to pay our price, to render our allegiance. It is pot because their going would leave us free to live in ease and comfort, pursuing our pleasure, piling up our profits. We did not: ask our boys to suffer and die that we might shirk. We sent them because they could go and we could not. We cheered their going because we w in our hearts that we, also, are going to give ow best and our utmost, as Americans, in answer to our country’s call. Every cheer we uttered was a solemn pledge of our support to the boys who marched away. Our un- covered heads as Old Glory passed by at the head of the regiments was the sign of our own allegiance, our own passion of love for America, and our firm purpose to pay our part of the great price of its glory. No grudging, fault-finding complaint at the work of Congress will come from the American who would add his full strength to his country’s arm, and do his part of her glorious task. With earnest study and gs and long by which all the people might bear some part of their. country’s stupendous burden, and the strong a larger - part. The representatives of the people in Congress, from every district of the land, gave the bill serious and faithful consideration. It now is law,—our law. We all know it is not perfect, none know it more than those who strove to make it as good as they could. It may yet be modified and improved in some details, but whatever its final form, our only duty is to comply with its provisions, gladly performing our appointed share of America’s great task. The proudest part. comes to you who are blessed with the larger incomes from America’s prosperity, and who can lift a special share of your country’s burden. Your ability to render this greater service to the cause of liberty is your glory as an American citizen. If ever you felt satisfaction and thanksgiving that you have such an income, you will feel it now, when it gives you greater power for glorious service. In the usual course of business, THE LITERARY DIGEST would have used this page in many of the leading newspapers of the nation to present its own claims upon the attention of all busy, thoughtful Amer-. jicans; but at this serious moment, facing the supreme task of America’s defense of her liberties, and her -matchless service to humanity, THE LITERARY DIGEST dedicates this page to the glorious cause which thrills — every American heart as we enter the New Year. All the world shall gain a new knowledge of America and Americans in this coming year. And we shall come to know ourselves as never before. We shall honor the Americans who go,into the great battles of freedom. We shall cheer themj-help them, pray for them; and as we report promptly to our Government our Income Tax, and so lift a strong man’s share of its burden, the glory of our country will rise in our own souls, and every day in the coming year we shall say, with a new thrill of under standing, as that grand old patriot, Daniel Webster, said, “Thank God I-Talso—Am an American!” thefiterary Digest FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary) New York 2 RE Mo MEDD OL ROH a RR ed AS : oO SOR SR, cae eo ee Bs he vey Amu aia * pO Ree es aT Bie nk leh Rie rat ad eS eg are eee ee epee Man te at) ates c: S - ; BAAS» AL ao ee yn, ee ee a a Seeetatente — ; xt . se * & & @@ Beet weeeaeeaart > — “a a + i nt ia i ee fn “somes “-_—er 2 > ees ‘ is to Se hie is out = ) beet hy rea wee Bh rhe ates get tar Mes a. : ie ids ye % pat ea 5 arti Pei" 4 Phe pe in bs a MEPS ea ape Want ie Lah ee That) ne} tai jx oi ca oa than lh os 5 ae PySs, -s ba N= Sel ee, as tae Ain clk 7 ae . eee Cn ae —— 2 e Peel eam we ee a, oe a mie’ £ Se ES MRE ee Voy eS GD yt ee, gtr ere gS aS ; we dist Co, Ro ae op eet a, F - at eae Peas sete F PP BSS Fe ree pd - 136 *% ~ oe a bald » ee 7 - ees * 7 *- a o e F k FR Bae Ee ag sl a agl ORES |: =: Me aM, $5 Be Te ye ele Be. 5°85 pay ‘ ae 4 th pe ease rts Ry ee Vai} ae ee r aa ie os ‘ Me ae é ; 2 : ’ i F ‘ ae . ae cit pee ¥ Paar ° 7 2 Wet: ‘ — : ; > " ‘ P » i i" % eB OF See Oe 0 Oe 2 ee OP OE Re Ra ae PE ON Soe Eris” The ey ce Os OR. tet me certs = oe ee or ata u aS Fee oe . ‘tis x : ms, A 7 ‘ * i ayer f : : i : so oe ow ; sib Oe Suc CE i.

CLEVELAND, 0O., Jan. 5.—City authorities have announced that the municipal auditorium, to be known as the Cleveland Public Halls—will be completed fin 1919, and various interests In the city have already combined In plans to bring one and perhaps both of the 1920 national political conventions to this city. The structure is to cost $2,500,000, and ts main auditorium will seat 12,000 persons. «Its completion will remove one of the obstacles which has prevented the city from entertaining the larg- est conventions. Another one—the lack of sufficient hotel accommoda- tions—is also being removed. A new fireproof hotel was opened re- cantly, making three in the city, and months. These four structures con- tain more than 6000 rooms. The men who are organizing the movement to bring the 1920 conven- tions to Cleveland will base part of their arguments on transportation facilities. They will emphasize the city’s position on several big Bast and West trunk lines, tts direct reutes to the South and the passe :- ger boat service to and from Buf- falo, Toledo, Detroit and other lake ports. Structure Well Under Way. Actual construction work on the public halis is well under way. Ex- cavations are practically complete. All soundings for the foundation have been made and the drainage pipes have been. placed. The con- crete footings are going in. The project for the structure crys- tallized in February, 1916, after many years of discussion and committee work. Under the leadership of May- or Harry L. Davis, the plans came to a head, on the basis of a pub- licly owned auditorium, to be built by issuing $2,500,000 worth of city bonds. Plans were prepared by F. H. Betz, city architect, and the Mayor called together representatives of civic and private organizations and asked their support of the bond issue at a special election. The result was “The Com- mittee of One Hundred Organiza- vigorous campaign for the bond is- sue. The election was held April 25, 1916, the proposal receiving approxi- mately a three-fourths vote. Two Halls and Exhibition Rooms. Work on the project was under- taken immediately. The city archi- tect in consultation with other archi- tects evolved plans for a structure of reinforced concrete and gray brick trimmed with stone, containing a main convention hall or auditorium, having a stage 56x104 feet. There will be seats for 5200 on the first floor and 6800 in the galleries. There will be a subsidiary or mu- sic hall with a seating capacity of more than 3000, arm! the basement, which will be partly above ground, will be fitted up for exhibition space, as an adjunct to the two other halls. The combined floor space for exhibi- tion purposes will be nearly 150,000 square feet. Stairways will be entirely elim- inated; all elevations will be obtained by inclines. The hall is being built on the Mall of the proposed group of public buildings, of which the new city hall, Government building, County Court- house and public library will be a part. The municipal auditorium will cover two city blocks. Venus Pencils.

Smith, Back, Bases Statement on Approval of Plan in Washington. Boats to New Orleans Will Release 10,000 Freight Cars. ; ; ' ; posed St. Louis-New Orleans Darge line plan, said today that the Hne probably would be in operation within six to eight months. The en- thusiastic support given the plan by the President and all administration officials, he added, prompted him to make this. prediction. Smith is head of a committee of | ‘St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans | business men, appointed recently to ‘obtain Government funds for the cre- ‘ation of‘a lower river barge line. Conference With President. Smith has been in Washington for /10 days, and last Thursday had an interview with President Wilson, during which the chief executive and Smith discussed the barge project in detail... Smith said that he was sur- prised at the grasp the President had of facts concerning the revivai of Mississippi River traffic. At the close of the interview the President expressed his hearty approval of the plan and promised to confer with McAdoo about it. The barge line plan contemplates the construction of 200 barges ané 16 towboats, at a cost estimated be- tween $12,000,000 and $18,500,000, and it has been pointed out by traf- fice experts that such a line, with 16 round trips a year, would release between 12,000 and 13,000 freight cars and a large number of locomo- tives for the movement of other freight. To Keep Committee at Capital “The whole situation looks very favorable,” said Smith, “and I think that the project is going to material- ize. Of course, there is a great dea! of work to be done, and the shippers of St. Louis must back this move- ment with al] their strength. I in- tend to call a conference this week of all the big shippers and other business men that are interested in the plan, and begin a campaign that will not close until we have achieved our purpose. A committee must be kept in Washington constantly for the next two months. : “There is a provision in the rail- road bill, soon to be introduced in \ at a very small fraction of their original selling prices. f Party Frocks and Confirmation Dresses, in net, with satin vibes and flower trimmings.

The President has ex- | pressed his sincere desire to co-op- | erate in the plan and I think that any opposition that may develop in Congress can be overcome. River Traffic Blocked 20 Years. ‘‘The public knows that the devel- opment of river traffic has been blocked for 20 years by the rali- froads, but now that they are under Government control, I think this op- position has been eliminated. portance of diverting to the Gulf of Mexico as much as possible of the’ vast amount of war freight which | originates in the Mississippi Valley.

Emmanuel has turned over the Royal Time Saved in Loading. “Loading can be done in New Or- leans in two to three days, while it now takes 10 days to three weeks to load vessels at Eastern ports. The ‘extra time in reaching the gulf would be more than made up in the saving of time. If the bill passes Congress with the waterways provision, I think that the administration will start work on the barges and tugs immediately afterward. We can Lufld them in St. Louls of wood. Very little steel would be required.” Director-General MeAdoo has agreed to support the barge line plan, Smith said. A number of Sen- 'ators and Congressmen, Smith ad4- 'ed, have promised to vote for the ' railroad bill with the waterways pro- ' vision. The measure, Smith said, will | come up for passage within the next two weeks. BITUMINOUS COAL OUTPUT GAINS 1917 Total Put at 544,000,000 Tons; 550,000,000 Tons Expected.

He counts up his gains and losses for the past year. He es- timates the value of the goods on his shelves, writes off so much for bad debts, so much for mistakes, so 'much for the wear and tear of the ‘plant, and finds out where he stands. Unless he is a fool he does not try to deceive himself. He does not try to make himself think that he is better off than he is, that his business has been more prosperous. or that his chances of success are better than they really are. He looks the fact squarely in the face, and if he has any intelligence at all he profits by the knowledge thus gained. He strengthens the weak spots in his business. He enlarges in what has shown itself to be a favorable direction, that when the next new year’s stock taking takes i tired of us and each in his turn is | place there is a bigger balance od the right side of the ledger. What a pity that we do not all at the commencement of a new year follow the merchant’s example and casting vanity and persona) affec- tion aside, take stock of ourselves and of our families and try to see how we stand, what goods we carry on our shelves, whether we have gained or lost during the past twelve months, and so determine whether |we are headed for prosperity or | ruin! Suppose a wife should take stock of herself. She would say: “T am forty-two years old. I am not young or beautiful any more. My hair is.turning grizzled and I do not take as much care as I used to in dressing it becomingly. l,am get- ting fat. I weigh ten poundg more than I did last January. I am get- ting lazy and I find it too much of a bother to dress up of an evening when there is going to be nobody at home but the family. When I take stock of my physical appear- ance I perceive, although I had not noticed it before, that it has de- preciated at least twenty-five per cent in the last year. ‘‘As I look them over I perceive that I am not carrying an attractive line of mental goods, either. I’ve got an over supply of nerves, too much pickled tongue, and that my conversational reserve is dull and | heavy and runs mostly to complaints of the servants, spats with the chil- dren, demands for money and fret- ful whining because I can’t have everything that rich women have. “If I were a tired man coming home at night to a wife who had only that sort of mental pabulum to offer me I think I’d shop a little farther, and when I counted up what it cost me to support that sort of a family I would think that I had bought an awful gold brick. “On the other hand, I perceive that my stock of household accom- plishments is of the very best grade. My cooking, thrift and management are strictly Al. Ditto sock darning and buttons, and seeing to my hus- band’s personal comfort, and while my devotion may not have any frills about it or be put up in a fancy package, it is the genuine article and of the brand he has tried for years and found reliable. “In balancing my accounts, there- fore, I perceive that I am keeping an old-fashioned domestic store which has come to a crisis in its history. It is now at a standstill, but it must inevitably go backward under the old management and land in bankruptcy, or else [ must hustle around and bring it up to date if I expect to make it prosper.
