Wornall’s injuries prob- @ ably will prove fatal, physicians be- lieve. According to Wornall, an insist- ent knock at the door of the bank building about 8:30 o’clock last night caused them to admit a man who‘immediately covered them with arevolver. He then forced Wornal] to tie the hands of the others, Wor- nail says, after which he tied Wor- nall’s hands. Wornall said he thought the rob- ber realized that he was recognized by some of his victims and that he decided to kill them. Wornall ‘says he picked up a hand ax from the floor and began raining blows upon _the heads and faces of the helpless men. C. F. Winters, vice president of the National Reserve Bank of . Kansas City, was the first man at- tacked, Wornall says. A blow from the ax struck him in the back of the head. W*Ynters died early today. 0. M. Hilil and Carl Chellson, clerks, were next struck down, after whicu ‘the man attacked Wornall and John x Jewell of Springfield, who were at _@ the opposite end of the room. Discovered by a Sentry. Wornall says when he recovered consciousness he found his hands were not securely tied and managed to free himself and make his way ' from the building. Wornhall was dis- covered by a sentry wandering about the camp. The sentry called upon him to halt and when Wornall did "am =«(N0t obey the sentry moved closer He discovered Wornall was covered With blood and gave the alarm. Wornall was taken to an infirmary and a detail sent to the bank build- ing. The four bodies were found and the military police notified Wornall was removed to the base hospital at Fort Riley. Winters received four or five se- vere cuts on the head and fore- head. Hill and Jewell were beaten about the head. ~Ohelson appar- ently was killed instantly by a blow on the forehead with the blade of the ax. Dead Man’s Father Was at Bank. Officials in charge of the case were asking themselves how it was possible for the murders to have taken place ina smaH area where thousands of armed men are living without the crime being discovered. A report that the number of sen- tries at the camp had been reduced because of the cold weather was de- nied today by Lieut. R. C. Kendall, in charge of the case.

Within 20 minutes after the mur- ders were discovered Camp Funston went under a strict regime. The camp was isolated and today a heav- ily armed guard surrounds the en- tire area with orders to shoot to kill any person who attempts to enter or leave the camp by stealth. All of the public buildings were filled with laborers, who were not allowed to go from one place to another. Mil- itary guards were stationed at the depots with orders to arrest every in- coming person and take them before the authorities to explain their busi- ness there. Immediately after the murders were discovered every mili- tary unit in camp was ordered to make a ‘‘check roll,” which accounts for every man not only by name but by being recognized by his superior fficers. Military police carried out 1 search of every building in camp, eaving a guard at the door of each with orders to ‘hamit no one. A police dog followed a trail to he Union Pacific tracks and then to the Golden Belt highway, where it lost the scent. Shipment of $475,000 to Camp Fun- ston Was Delayed a Day.

The Judge said if other juries would reach similar verdicts in such cases there would be less “‘gun-toting.”’ According to court attaches, this is the first time a defendant who had no previous criminal record, has been sentenced to the penitentiary.

NO WAIT FOR THE ALLIES Germany Warned That Russia Should Be Judged by “In- herent Possibilities.” 9 Jan. 13 (By A. the Bolshevik Foreign Minister to the conference AMSTERDAM, 'at Brest-Litovsk, yesterday said that in order not to leave any possibility in the struggle for peace unutilized, the Russian delegation accepted the demand that the negotiations be continued at Brest-Litovsk, instead of being transferred to Stockholm, as they had requested. The chairman of the Russian dele- gation said that in full accord with their former resolution, the Russians desired to continue the peace nego- | 'after proceeding only a short tiations, quite apart from the fact whether participated. Trotzky said statement of the Central Powers that the basis of a general peace as for- mulated in their declaration of Dec. °5 was null and void and added: “We adhere to the principles of democratic peace, as proclaimea by us.”’ Says Russia Is Independent. Referring to the objection raised by the Central Powers that the transfer of the negotiations to Stock- holm or some other neutral point, as requested by Russia, might en- able the Entente Nations to inter- fere, Trotzky_ said the Bolshevik Government had been consistent and independent in its peace policy and that there was no reason to assume Entente diplomacy would be able to oppose the conclusion of peace more successfully on neutral soil than in Petrograd. It was the opinion of the Russian delegates, he said, that neither po- litical nor technical circumstances made it necessary to continue to hold the sessions at Brest-Litovsk Moreover, Trotzky continued, the Russian delegation could not pass over another point, which had been mentioned by the German Chancel- lor, Count von Hertling. “I refer,” he said, ‘to the portion of Count von Hertling’s statement (before the Reichstag Main Com- mittee) in which he referred, in ad- dition to Germany’s just intentions, or not the Entente Powers | | sted to send automo- he had noted the! with and requeste en om to Germany's powerful position (Machtstellung).

Trotzky considered that the great- er forces of the Russian people had revolution, just as the reformation of |lution of the eighteenth century had vitalized the creative forces of the German and French peoples. He added: “The Russian Government, howev- The great sympa- thies of the Russian people for the peoples of the allies strengthen the desire to attain the speediest peace, based on an understanding among the peoples. “To remove from the Quadruple Alliance a pretext for breaking off grounds, the Russian delegation ac- cepts the demand to remain in Brest- Litovsk, in order not to leave unutil- ized any possibility in the fight for peace. In renouncing its proposal regarding the transfer of negotia- tions to neutral soil, the Russian del- egation proposes continuation of the negotiations.”’ Trotzky said he considered it necessary to remove a misunder- standing which had arisen. He re- ferred to the statement made at the previous sitting by Dr. von Kuehl- mann, the German Foreign Minis- ter, that the semi-officital Russian titious accountjof the reply made at the sitting on Dec. 28 by M. Joffe of the Russian delegation. Trotzky said the official account of the sitting, as published in the German newspapers, reproduced ac- the speech of Joffe and that the Russian delegation was en- tirely frenorant of any real or ficti- tious telegrams on the subject, such Continued on Page & Colaun @ 200 PASSENGERS DESERT 3 STALLED TRAINS ON ALTON Chicago, Flyers, Due Here Yester- day, Blockaded Near Brighton; Engine Fires Put Out. RELIEF DEMANDS MADE Only Three Trains Reach Union Station This Morning; Trace of Others by Wire Is Lost. Three Chicago & Alton passenger trains due at Union Station last night were stalled in the snow at Brighton, 12 miles north of Alton, and, on ac- count of lack of water in the boilers of the engines and the necessity of putting out the fires, the passengers were compelled to leave the trains and seek shelter for the night in homes at Brighton. The town has a population of about 800, and it was with great difficulty that the 200 or more passengers were cared for. A few decided to brave the cold and walk to Alton, but turned back dis- Chicago & Alton Railroad were communicated tance. officials then biles to haul the passengers to Al- ton, but no road was passable on ac- count of the deep snowdrifts. An attempt was made to get an engine through to haul in a train, but this was found to be impossible. Further Demands Made. Early this morning the stranded passengers again got in communica- | tion with the C. & A. station at Alton and demanded that some means be devised to get the mto Alton or St. Louis, but the railroad was helpless. The trains stuck in the snowdrifts are the Alton Limited, the Prairie State Express and the Springfield ac- commodation. The Prairie State Ex- press first ran into the snowbanks and was followed by the other two trains. The interurban service of the Al- ton, Granite City & St. Louis Trac- tion Co., from Alton to St. Louis, also was put out of commission by the snow and had not been started at an early hour. Only 3 Trains Arrive Here. Only three trains arrived at Union Station this morning, and they were more than 12 hours late.. The Ter- minal company has lost all com- mounication ‘with incoming trains, 'owing to the failure of the tele- graph,: according to A. S. Johnson, assistant general manager of the) company, who said conditions were | worse in the terminals than at any. previous time in the last 30 years. | No trains departed today. The trains that did get in were brought into the station with great difficulty, owing to inability to hold the steam to the proper guage, John- son, said, and he sees no relief un- til the weather moderates. The sta- tion, he said, had no line on the location of trains due here since yesterday afternoon and which have not arrived. None of the suburban trains from points close to St. Louis had reached the station at 9 o'clock. ; Train Brings Hungry Passengers.

The passengers had been without food since Thursday night until the train reached Monett, Mo., at 2 m. yesterday. A dispatch from Decatur, IIl., said that only one train was running on the Wabash Railroad between Chi- cago and St. Louis and that when it stopped at Taylorville the engine be- came frozen and the train remained there. No cars were running on the Illinois Traction System, the McKin- ley Line, and officials stated today that none would be started until the wind ceased. Soldiers Sleep at Station. Twenty-three soldiers from Jeffer- son Barracks who were to take a Pennsylvania train for the East at 11:50 o’clock last night, slept at the station as their train could not get out. It was scheduled to leave some time this morning. Several of the soldiers had frozen ears from their trip from fhe bar- racks to the street car station, and one, Roland Newman of Piedmont, Mo., was treated by a physician.

BUSCH OFFERS 14,000 TONS OF COAL TO CITY IF IT IS NEEDED Supply Has Been Stored for 10 Years for Emergency Use at Brewery. August A. Busch and William Cot- ter, president of the Manufacturers Railway, today offered Mayor Kiel 14,000 tons of Pittsburg coal, which Busch says has been stored for 10 years at Utah and Second streets for emergency use at the Anheuser- Busch Brewery, for use in municipal buildings and coal yards in case of a coal famine. Busch said that the quality of the coal has not depreciated more than 2 per cent and that he will only charge the city $4.90 a ton for it, less than he paid.* Pittsburg’ coal cannot be bought today and the city has paid $2.97 a ton for Illinois coal of inferior grade. Cotter stated that 250 cars of coal bound for St. Louis are held up in Valley Junction, Ill, hecause of the cold, and that a coal famine is likely. ‘237 FEWER SALOONS HERE THAN IN JANUARY, 1917 er eee eee oe |Loss in Revenue to State, City and It did. | | >. | Plat Work Will Be 6 Cents and ' ' / Telegraph service out of St. Louis | was severely impaired by the cold, contraction causing hundreds of wires to snap.

The loss in revenue to the State, city and schools is $215,759, of which the city’s share is $119,200. It is ex- pected that this will be offset by the secured debts tax, which becarne ef- fective in June. The city’s share of that tax since June has been $70,000. The city’s expenses, payable from municipal revenue, have increased $573,000 for the period from June 10 to Jan. 7, as compared to the same period in 1916 and 1917. LAUNDRIES TO INCREASE PRICES OF FAMILY WASH Héavier Articles 8% Cents Per Pound. 7 An increase in prices for family washings will be put into effect Mon- day by 35 of 40 laundries in St. Louis through a difference in the price of doing figt work and rough- dry work. The laundries have included rough-dry work everything ‘in family wash bundle and have charged 6% cents per pound. In the future the charge will be 6 cents per pound for flat work, which includes table linen, bed linen and towels, and 8% cents per pound for the other and heavier articles. Hollis E. Suits, general secretary of the Associated Laundry Owners’ Association, said: ‘“The cost of laun- dering the heavier articles is 42 per cent more than the flat work. Any handkerchiefs in a rough-dry bun- dle will be %& cent each if they are to be ironed.” GIRLS SLEEP OUT OF DOORS Seventeen girls and young women at the Night and Day Camp of the Louis Anti-Tuberculosis Society. 9500 South Broadway, slept out of doors last night and enjoyed it.

WATCHMAN IS KILLED IN CEMENT PLANT FIRE HERE Several Other Blazes Started by Unusual Efforts to Keep Homes and Business Buildings Heated --- Many Persons Suffer Frozen Feet or Hands. In the grip of a general cold wave extending from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Rocky Mountains to the Alle- ghenies, St. Louis today registered an official reading of 17 de- grees below zero at 6 a. m., the lowest since 1905, when it was 15 below. The same tempetature was recorded at 7 a. m. reached this minimum there was Having a slight moderation and at 9 a. m. the temperature was 14 below. At that hour the sun was shin- ing brightly. In the morning hours railroad traffic in and out of St. Louis was practically stopped and the street car service was so seriously ham- pered that thousands of St. Louis- ans were wrom half an hour to one hour late in reaching their places of business and employment. The discomfort of those who wait- ed for cars was increased by a brisk northwest wind which at times reached a velocity of 30 miles an hour. Cold Follows Snowstorm. The cold wave followed a heavy snowstorm which started yesterday morning and lasted until about 3 p. m. With the cessation of snow there was a rapid fall in tempera- ture, and it became progressively colder through the night. Temperatures in the general cold wave ranged from 37 degrees below zero at O'Neill, Neb., to 12 above at San Antonio, Tex. Over the entire storm territory train service was practically suspended. In Chicago it was 10 below this morning. Central Illinois reported much colder weath- er. Number of Fires. The effort to meet the unusua! weather conditions by increasing the heat in residences and business build- ings caused several fires from over- heated stoves and furnaces. One of these fires resulted in the death of Joseph Chesnik, 78 years old, of 1524 Hogan street, night watchman at the one-story frame office of the Mera- mec-Portland Cement Co., at the foot of Dock street. When Chesnik was missed after the fire it was thought he had gone home. Inquiry by hi» son, Joseph, a policeman, showed this was not the case, and a search of the ruins was made. It was found the watchman had been burned to death and then imbedded in_ ice which formed when firemen played water on the building. A block cf ice with Chesnik’s body in it was) sawed out and taken to the morgue. | Oscar Meyer, of 3830A Folsom | avenue, built a fire in his kitchen | range this morning, not knowing | that the hot water connection was) frozen.

Porter, 45 years old, of 4245 Iowa avenue, a lawyer, be- came exhauster while waiting for a street car at Broadway and Gas- conade at 10.50 last night. He was taken to the City Hospital where it was found his hands and feet were frozen. Man's Feet Frozen. Edward Merkel, 42 years old. of 2703 Wyoming street, became help- less from the cold at Juniata street and Ohio avenue at 11 p. m. His hands and feet were frozen. At 3 a. m. an unidentified man, un- conscious from the cold, was found in a hallway at 1328 North Broad- way. At the city hospital it was found his hands and feet were frozen. A card in his pocket read: “Frank Schultz, care of John Jost, $20 Lynch street. John Miller, 66 years old, 6700 COLD WAVE IN CENTRAL VALLEYS DISTRICT TO MODERATE TOMORROW WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. (By A... P.).—The cold wave will continue in the East and South until Tuesday, when it will moderate some. In the plains states and central val- leys it will moderate Sunday and in the upper lake region on Monday. In a special bulletin to- day the Weather Bureau said: “The storm of Friday and Friday night, which was the most severe of recent years, is central this morning over ex- treme Western Ontario, with a barometer reading of 28.70 inches. Heavy snows and rains and strong gales were general east of the Mississippi River and the storm is fol- lowed by the most extensive and severe cold wave of the season. - The line of zero temperature this morning extends into the northern portions of the East » Gulf States, and a temperature of 18 degrees occurred on the Middle Gulf Coast. In por- tions of Indiana the tempera- tures Saturday morning were 20 degrees below zero and cold weather continues in the Plains States and the Northwest, but with some slight moderation since Friday morning. ‘The cold wave will continue tonight and Sunday in the up- per lake region, the Ohlo Val- ley and the South, and include the lower lake region, the mid- die Atlantic states and New En- gland, with temperatures close to zero as far south as South Carolina. Temperatures below the freezing point are expected tonight in the southern Iimits of the Florida mainiand. Se- vere gales will prevail over Northern district. The cold wave will moderate during Sunday in the plains states and the central valleys; on Monday in the upper lake region and on Tuesday in the East and South.” Theodosia avenue, a mall collector, was disabled by the cold when on duty at 1 a. m. He was taken from King’s highway and Waterman ave- nue to the city hospital, where it was found his hands and feet were fros- en.

William A. Bishop, win- iner of a Victoria Cross, who ad- dressed the Canadian Club here.-He is credited with shooting down 45 German aircraft. Maj. Bishop characterized as “un- |fortunate” the advertising which had been given the United States Government’s aircraft program.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (By A. P.).—Enforced food conservation in restaurants and extension of anti- hoarding regulations to make them apply to the household are included in the plans of the Food Administra- tion for creating a larger export sur- plus of food for the allies. This was revealed in a statement by Food Administrator Hoover, set- ting forth that the allies are in need of an additional 75,000,000 to 90.- 000,000 bushels of wheat and that they have asked America to double meat exports. Only by further sav- ing, Hoover declared, can the food be shipped. There is no need for rationing in America in Hoover’s opinion, and with the supplementary regulations there will be no shortages.

AT CONVENTION ‘] Hopes That Such Laws as Sher- man Act Will Be Taken |. From Statute Booke. NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (By A. P.). America’s dream of isolation is at i and end, at a period of time when history is only beginning, and the ; _ fepublic now is to aid in creating a new world where law is to be su- _ _ preme and force only the instrument of justice, Charles EB. Hughes, for- mer Justice of the United States Su- preme Court, said in an address yes- terday at the convention of the New York State Bar Association, of which he is president. ~ Discussing the effects of war on Federal legislation, Hughes expressed the hope that after peace comes such laws as the Sherman anti-trust: act would be put aside. “Let our Legislatures free our statute books of cant,” he said. “New phases of National Develop- ment” was the subject of Hughes’ address. America entered the war, he declared,.only “because it is es- sential to our safety that the preten- tions of brute force should be de- feated,”’ and because the nation “‘can- not live in peace and security unless there is firmly established among the nations the reign of law." The selective service law was des- tined to effect “a new sense of indl- vidual obligation on the part of those thus compelled to serve it,” Hughes said. There was likely to be, he add- ed, “in the case of many who have misconceived our institutions, and their duty, a new appreciation of the power of our Government.” Hughes continued: “We are wit- nessing the most extraordinary ad- Justments of business to the demands of war. Out of this extraordinary laboratory will come new methods— new discoveries. We are not going to be made over in this war, but we shall have a new grasp on realities. Is it too much to expect that we have _@ saner attitude toward business, to- ward the necessary activities which afford the basis of progress, toward Organization of industry, of trans- portation, of labor? “May we hope that through the War we may learn how to regulate and not destroy, how to open the door to American enterprise here and abroad, under rules of public protection which reason can ap- prove.” The Duke of Devonshire, Gover- nor-General of Canada, was among ‘those who heard Hughes speak. Britain has resolved to fight Ger- many to the death, a determination strengthened by America’s entry . into the struggle, Sir Frederick Ed- ‘ win Smith, Attorney-General of Great Britain, declared in an ad- dress before the association.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (By A P.).—How the naval gun crew of the American steamer J. L. Lucken- bach successfully fought off for four hours the attacks of a German submarine until a destroyer racing to the steamer’s rescue forced the U- boat to submerge is told in detail to- day in an official account by the Navy Department. The engagement took place Oct. 19, when the vessel was on the way to a French port. The U-boat sub- jected the merchant craft to a heavy shell fire which injured seven men, started a small blaze aboard and temporarily put the engines out of commission. “Don’t surrender,” flashed’ the commander of the American de- stroyer that caught the Lucken- bach's distress call. “Never,” was the laconic reply. All members of the armed guard have been commended by the Navy Department for gallantry in action, and the commander has been given the temporary warrant of boatswain in recognition of his services, The official account follows: “At 7:30 a. m. the after lookout on the Luckenbach reported a steam- er on the beam. The commander of the armed guard sighted her him- self about one point forward of the port beam. Upon looking at the steamer, which appeared very sus- picious through the glasses, a sail appeared on her. Both guns were trained on the steamer. The armed guard commander then went aloft to obtain a better view. half-way up, the supposed steamer turned out to be a submarine and opened fire, Luckenbach Opens Fire. “The Luckenbach immediately opened fire with both guns. The first two or three shots fired by the submarine fell about 2000 yards short. She was firing at long range. The Luckenbach’s shots also fell short. As the submarine appeared to be closing in the captain was told to put the stern of the Lucken- bach to her, which he did. The dis- tress signals were sent out by wire- less. “The submarine closed in to about 2000 yards. Early in the battle one shot from the submarine landed on the deck forward on the port side and exploded in the gun crew quar- ters, starting a fire which partially destroyed the quarters and burned the effects of the gun crews. ‘The same shot burst the fire main. The fire main was blocked off and water finally got to the fire. Steam was also turned on the flames. Shortly after the first shot landed another shot struck the Quartermaster’s room without doing much damage. “A shot landed near the stern and exploded, putting the after gun out of commission. “At least 225 rounds were fired by the submarine, out of which there were only nine clean hits, the com- mander reports. Pieces of shell were falling all around the deck. Two When he was! Porton. striking the olfler’s room and putting a large hole in the side, one. landed on the port side at the water line, hitting the fresh water tank and destroying most of the fresh water supply. Another landed in the petty officers’ messroom and exploded, putting the ash hoist out of commis- sion and burstinz the steam pipe; also wounding two men, one mess boy and one fireman. One shot passed through the weather screen on the bridge and landed in the car- go, exploding but not starting a fire. Member of Guard Wounded. *‘Pieces of shell hit Louther V ’ one of the armed guard, in three places. One of the ship's crew who was carrying ammunition forward was hit. Another shell exploded in the engine room, wounding the grst and third engineers and putting the engine out of commission. B one of the gun crew, was going up the forward ladder carrying ammuni- tion when the shell that landed in the Quartermaster’s room exploded, the fumes from the shell blinding him for about two hours. “The distress callg sent out had been answered by a United States destroyer at 8:10, which was asked how quickly it could arrive at the scene. Two hours, was the reply. “The Captain of the Luckenbach said: Too late. Look for boats. Don’t surrender, came back the mes- sage, and the Luckenbach replied: Never! “At about 11 a. m. smoke was sighted on the horizon. The vessel was headed toward the smoke to lessen the distance the destroyer would have to come. It was short- ly after this that the engines were temporarily put ou: of commission by an explosive shell. At about 11:3¢ the destroyer fired her first shot at the submarine, which submerged 10 minutes later. Fired for Four Hours. “The Luckenbach had commenced firing about 7:40 and ceased firing at 11:40, 202 rounds being fired at the submarine. “The ship’s crew behaved credit- ably, no trouble being experienced in getting them to pass ammunition the commander of the armed guard reports. “The firemen stayed below. Gre. praise is due the armed guard for the manner in which they performed their duty. The men stationed at the guns never flinched. When the after gur was put out of commission the after pointers came to the -for- ward guns and relieved one another as 167 rounds were fired out of the forward gun. Bolges, H ‘ chief boatswain’s mate, was a great help, doing most of the spotting from the top of the wheelhouse, while the armed guard commander was tak- ing care of things around the decks and guns. “The destroyer stood by until the engines were repaired, which took about two hours and a half, ané then escorted the Luckenbach to a convoy, which was reached about 5 shots landed on the port side for- Pp. m.” 20,000 PERSONS STORMED VIENNA MARKET TO GET MEAT People Later Marched Through Streets on New Year’s Day De- nouncing Authorities.

When the authorities an- nounced that 500 Servian pigs would be put on sale at 75 cents a pound more than 20,000 people assembled outside the market, most of them re- maining throughout the New Year's eve in intense cold for the chance to buy.

St. Louis Members of Party Noti- fied to Gather at Sheldon Memorial Tomorrow. SUPPORTED PRESIDENT Portion of Message Dealing With Russia Especially Received With Accord. The Executive Committee of the St. Louis Socialist party has sent out notice of a meeting of Socialists at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow, at Sheldon Memorial, called to indorse Presi- dent Wilson’s war aims as embodied in his speech to Congress. The no- tice quotes that part of the message dealing with assistance to be ren- dered the Russian people in the at- tainment of liberty and peace as the spirit in which Socialists throughout the world are in hearty accord, and states that it is the duty of Socialists to support the President’s ideas to the utmost. Irwin St. John Tucker of Chicago, Socialist writer and ora- tor, will make the principal address. When the United States entered the war the local Socialists held a meeting at which this action was de- nounced as undemocratic. Dr. Gustave Lippmann, 4668 Ber- lin avenue, a leading loca] Socialist and author of the notice of tomor- row’s meeting, told a Post-Dispatch reporter last evening that the meet- ing here is intended to force the hand of Socialists all over the world to a due recognition of the “radical principles of the President of the United States.”’ Ideals Should Be Indorsed. “Socialists have nothing to do with war,” Dr. Lippmann explained, “and I ‘will not say that it is neces- sary to fight for the ideals promul- gated by President Wilson; yet we should indorse these ideals because they are Socialistic. “We did not want to see this country enter the war, and yet we felt that it was a good sign when it did so, as the conflict provided a place for Wilson at the peace table in the parleys to come. We believe, however, that Wilson could have forced peace with the economic power of this country as a club. But since Wilson is a radical President and exactly expresses our ideas, the Socialist party should hasten to sup- port his war aims. President’s Stand Approved. ‘We want peace such as outlined by President Wilson; not a British peace, such as suggested by Lloyd George, who demands the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France. President Wilson demands only rep- aration’ for Alsace-Lorraine. The British Labor Party, which is two- thirds Socialistic, has endorsed our President’s war aims, but it re- mained silent on the demands of Lloyd George. President Wilson says we shoul dassist Russia; Lloyd George declares Russia should be left to its fate. We believe every assistance should be extended the Russian people in their struggles for liberty. We should not abandon Russia to the designs of German imperialism.” ° Dr. Lippmann said there are 1500 paying members of the Socialist party in St. Louis who have been notified to attend the meeting, and that another meeting, possibly a week hence, will be held at the Odeon to make plans for systematic co-operation with the President in attaining his ideals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Tho War Industries Board, of which Robert S. Brookings is the St. Louis member, is criticised in a 120-page book, ‘“‘Washington's Nine Months of War,” issued, by the Patriotic Edu- cation Society and bearing the name of Raymond B. Price. The chapter dealing with the board to which Brookings belongs is written by William Hard and is called “Retarding the Alifes.” It says of him: “Brookings is a very fine person, of high intelligence, but, by virtually things a man in his present position must especially and conspicuously have. He lacks speed. He is slow at decisions. People in the War De- partment complain that they send things over to him and he keeps them and then keeps them some more, and then may return them with the observation that he has nothing to suggest. Brookings does not fit the purchasing commission because our purchases must be made with speed and Brookings happens to be without speed.” The writer does not blame the 8t.

Private reports forecast an early resumption of military oper- ations against Palaez, but there also is information indicating that the Mexican Government is attempting to deal with the situation through politi- cal changes. Palaez is reported to have declared that so long as Candido Aguilar re- mained at the head of the Vera Cruz State Government he would continue in revolt. Consequently Carranza {s being urged by some of his advisers to transfer Aguilar to the ministry of foreign affairs in the hope that it might solve the problem of the oil fields domination. State Department and diplomatic representatives here of the Entente are keenly interested in the situation because of the danger to the oil sup- ply involved in any fight that might be waged for the mastery of the fields.

SS Oe 2 ——— OO 8 ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 7 ‘ SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1918. Jack Frost, = __Notiet Is = a Banner Season in the Winter League WATSON IS FOURTH MEMBER OF CARDS TO SIN CONTRACT eran . Big Pitcher Asks for Terms and Forwards Signed Document to Rickey. CRUISE MAY BE EXEMPTED Outfielder Files Claim He Is Sole Support of Parents— Quinn Home Today. Four Cardinals now are under con- tract for the coming season. Pres!- dent Branch Rickey announced this morning that Milton ‘“‘“Mule” Watson, the husky right hander, had come to terms and affixed his mark of identi- fication (slang for signature) to a Cardinal document for next season. Bob Wallace, Oscar Horstman and Gene Paulette are the other mem- bers of the club who now are under contract. Rickey stated that Wat- son’s case was similar to the other three in that he signed of his own volition and without having been ten- dered a contract by the club. Contracts Out Feb. 1. ‘The contracts for the remainder of the Cardinals will be mailed out on Feb. 1, according to Rickey. There is, however, no rule against a mem- ber of the club demanding his con- tract previous to that date, providing he feels he would like to get one, There is no telling just at this time just which members of the Cardinals may be spared the task of signing contracts because they will be in the employ of Uncle Sam next season. Rickey said this morning that indi- cations were that Walton would be exempted: from military service. Cruise is the sole support of his fa- ther and mother, according to Rickey and has presented claim for exemp- tion, On the other hand, Oscar Horstman, the young pitcher who. recently signed a two-year contract, will not claim exemption. Neither will Tom- my Long. Whether these two 'play- ers will be in the next draft call is not known by Rickey, but he has made inquiries of both and is now awaiting their replies. Will Select Trainer. The chief task which Rickey and Hendricks will tackle in the near fu- ture is the signing of atrainer. Thus far, two applications have been re- ceived, one of which is from Tommy Brammell, at present employed as trainer for the Stag Athletic Club. it is belleved Brammell has the. in- side track on hig rival, as he has *had many years’ experience in such work and is admittedly a good man for the place. Rickey has left the selection of the trainer,entirely to Mendricks and Jack is not prepared Just yet to make a selection. Quinn May Arrive. Business Manager Bob Quinn of the Browns, is scheduled to float in on the cfest of the cold wave some time today, providing train service is maintained between here and Co- lumbus, ©. Bob has been delayed for this reason. Walter McCredie, manager of the Salt Lake club, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of seeking surplus talent from the Browns. He is now awaiting Quinn’s arrival. Pirates Get Hamilton. It bas at last been confirmed that rl Hamilton has been sold by Joe Tinker to the Pirates. Barney Drey- fuss made the announcement that night although the Post-Dispatch carried the story in all editions yes- terday. Hamilton should do good work in the National League and he has plenty of friends who hope so. Fletcher Made Captain. Art FPietcher has stepped into Char- lie Herzog’s shoes as captain of the Giants, since the Choke ‘Em artist is now a member of the Braves. Along with Burns, Fletcher is one of the real] veterans of McGraw’s club and probably deserves the honor. Schedule Again Deferred. That much postponed’ schedule meeting, which was first booked at Dover Hall, Ga., then transferred to Cincinnati, again has been postponed. Now it will be held in Dover Hall about January 24. This was brought about because Garry Hermann couldn't attend a meeting of baseball powers and Government officials in Washington to discuss the oollection of the war tax. EE PEOPLE’S GAME CLUB TO STAGE CHESS TOURNEY The People’s Game Club, 1012 Pine st. will inaugurate a simultaneous chess tournament on Saturday, Jan. 18, and play will take place each Saturday night until] completed. Each player entering pays an entry fee of $i, which is returned to him if he plays all his games. Each in turn plays the other entrants simultan- eously. Such a tournament last year was highly successful. Arthur §&. TAttle is chairman of the committee in charge.

MRS. FLORENCE HOFFMAN, 211A N. Fourteenth Street. me 7 -- Ignoring Waiting P To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The writer, one of the many commuters forced to use the Tower Grove or “Bana- na” line, standing on the corner of Rus- sell place and Arsenal street this even- ing (Friday), in Home Guard uniform, at- tempted to stop a car going é¢ast about 7:25 p. m., but the motorman. presumably near-sighted, could not see the five peo- ple waiting and flew past. He had no route number. The next car, 10 minutes later, also without a route number. passed 4100 without stopping, and as the writer was anxious to at least get to drill on time, stepped into the middle of the track and ; with outstretched arms brought the car Je to a stop. Motorman 2080, in charge, Was rather peeved, claiming he was not * blind, and said he would consider 4006 : not on his stopping list in the future. Of course, the writer thanked him kindly. The above incident is only one of many that have come to the personal knowledge of, the writer. The latest instructions, according to sev- | eral motormen, is to not stop when a car .is behind time and another is within six blocks. Does the city’s permits to the U. ®. Co. sanction this? HARRY KAUTORWITZ. The Prohibition Amendment. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. _asaun... NOW comes the New York City Bar As- “. .. elation of which George W.

Practically the only variation from the original stock-jobbing deal with the United Railways in the alleged new bill to be jammed through the Board of Alderman is a clause providing that a sum as yet unnamed shall be set aside for ex- tensions. The bill retains the capital value of $60,000,000. The profits of the United Railways are not lim- ited, but may be all that the traffic will bear, except so much as the city takes of the gross es | earnings and when the net earnings exceed 7 per cent on $60,000,000. The powerless Board of Control is retained. The mill tax and all other franchise taxes are abolished. No definite provision is made and there is no guarantee of service betterment. The city retains the right already guaranteed by the charter to bring condemnation proceed- ings for the purchase of the United Railways. The bill embodies a betrayal of the interests of, the people of St. Louis. Its passage would subject the people to inadequate street railway service for $1 years. It would hamper the city’s growth and ‘do incalculable injury to the municipality. It has ‘been condemned by the best available experts. | We do not believe the St. Louis people will ac- ‘cept it. An appeal to the referendum, if the Al- dermen pass it, will be inevitable. == * AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION. With charactertistic German naivete the Koel- nische Volkszeitung, discussing President Wilson’s war aims speech, says the President is demanding “the severance from the empire of parts of Prus- sia inhabited by the Poles.” On the contrary, he demands the severance from the empire of a part of Poland enslaved ‘by the Prussians. This is an important distinction and the Germans must mission seven years ago placed the value of all and how depressing it would be if Entente pros- pects were all the time viewed through smoked glasses! Perhaps it would be just as well to have the alternating reports reduced to some regular system—say Mondays and Thursdays assigned for picturing Germany’s extremity and Tuesdays and Fridays assigned as dates on which Entente ex- pectations shall go to pot. i A —-_ Instead of the old family album the patriotic family of the future will exhibit its collection of Red Cross certificates, Liberty Bonds and thrift, stamp booklets. = = A UTILITY CAPITALIZATION ISSUE. An application to the State Public Service Com- mission for authority to issue $1,000,000 of bonds and $1,500,000 more of its preferred stock is re- ported at Jefferson City to have been made by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. of St. Louis. Any attempt on the part of a utility company to increase its capital charges, especially a com- pany that seems already to stand on a rather lib- eral financial basis, always raises a question of the greatest interest and importance to the commu- nity which the utility serves. It is to be assumed that the State Board will consider the application with a full consciousness of all that the question in this case involves. During the past year the company has sold one issue of $1,000,000 worth of 7 per cent preferred stock and a second issue, offered later in the year, is understood to be nearly all sold. If the further issues are authorized and marketed, it will make a total increase in the company’s capitalization securities of $4,500,000 since last spring. It is represented that the new issues, as well as the $2,000,000 issue of 1917, is to “reimburse” the com- pany for recent improvements and betterments of various sorts. Pertinent to the question are the last official ap- praisal of the actual value of the company’s prop- erties and the total of the obligations it already has outstanding.

A young man in South St. Louis has married a girl with whom he fell in love when sampling a mess of kolatch and strudels she had cooked up at a home where he was visiting. The Bo- hemian dishes were so toothsome that the youth could not rest until he had made the chef all his own. “She is a fine cook,” he told reporters proudly. “She can cook as well as my mother did when | I was a boy.” It is to be hoped that the young man leaves the table forever more with a satisfying smile, but he is certain to find the menu considerably different from mother’s. The cook of his boy- hood did not have to wrestle with wheatless days, meatiess days, porkless days, sugar short- ages, priceless eggs and coalless stoves. In the days of his boyhood there was plenty of raw material and a good cook was one who could throw the plenty together in an appetizing man- ner. Nowadays the kitchen ornament is one who can take one egg and make it do the service of half a dozen by those strange feats of leger- demain and camouflage known only. to the prac- ticed hand. | She must be able, out of a small bit of meat, | to place what seems to be a heaping platter of stew or goulash before her lord and master. She must know how to make cakes without sugar and frosting, sufficiently well to deceive one used to the pies that mother was wont to make in the days of the cornucopia. = = i a A GOOD NAVAL MATERIAL. Lieut. Norman Scott, Annapolis graduate and son of Robert F. Scott of Kirkwood, Mo., seems to have been a tolerably busy man after the de- stroyer Jacob Jones was torpedoed by a subma- rine. Commander D. W. Bagley’s official report has this reference to his activities: Lieut. Norman Scott of St. Louls. executive officer, accomplished a great dea] towards getting boate and rafts tn the water, turning off steam from the fireroom to the engine- room, getting life boats and special materials from the bridge into the water, in person firing signal guns, encouraging and assist- ing the men, and in genera] doing everything possible in the short time available. He was of invaluable assistance during the trip in the dory. i Lieut.

Over the door of game was a little sign reading, “Suicide Annex.” me that this particular front trench was called “‘Suicide Ditch.” One of the boys told Later on I learned that machine gunners and bombers are known as the “Suicide Club.” The dugout was muddy. The men slept in mud, washed in mud, ate mud, and dreamed mud. I had never before realized that so’much discom- s bitterly resent he ' fort and misery could be contained in those three little letters, M U D. The floor of the dugout was an inch deep in water. Outside it was raining cats and dogs, and thin rivulets were trickling down the steps. From the » airshaft immediately above me came a drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole eight feet wide. 10 feet long, and six feet high. It was about 20 feet below the fire trench; at least there were 20 steps leading down to it. These steps were cut into the earth, but at that time were people would delibel ry as too cumbe checks and balances vided in framing the e over the minority t majority until a news eated in the light [It is difficult to qual wever much we m angerous to ignor n has suddenly cor nment of the United enough, it has or esidency of one of th in all history, whom r less commanding ft e—a leadership which ds out hope of Demoe Yet under that lead: is of the United States ntty changed withouwl from him in one im s active assistance Mm ck cannot be n ny wonder if the F ibsorbed in the Russia as to be obi ening to our own ft fe. out of the stress s world war will cor party in the United Democracy in plac ymocracy.

The walls and roof were supported with heavy square-cut timbers, while the entrance was strengthened with sand- bags. Nails had been driven into these timbers. On each nail hung a miscellaneous assortment of equip- ment. The lighting arrangements were superb—one candle in a re- flector made from an ammunition tin. My teeth were chattering from the cold, and the drip from the airshaft was sitting bemoaning my fate, and wishing for the fireside at home, the fellow next to me, who was writing | iteamed up with another fellow and a letter, looked up and innocently asked, “Say, Yank, how do you spell ‘conflagration?’ ” I looked at him in contempt, and answered that I did not know. From the darkness in one of the corners came a thin, piping voice singing one of the popular trench ditties entitled: “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.” Every now and then the singer would stop to cough, cough, cough, but it was a good illustration of Tommy’s cheerfulness under such conditions. A machine-gun oficer entered the dugout and gave mea hard look. I sneaked past him, sliding and slip- ping, and reached my section of the front-line trench where I was greeted by the Sergeant, who asked me, “Where in ‘ell ‘ave you been?’ I made no answer, but sat on the cold and with the rain beating in my face. About half an hour later I went on guard with my head sticking over the top. At 10 o’clock I wae relieved and resumed my sitting po- sition on the fire step. The rain suddenly stopped and we all breathed a sigh of relief. We prayed for the morning and the rum issue, | CHAPTER X. “The Day’s Work.” WAS fast learning that there is a regular routine about the work of the trenches, although it is badly upset at times by the Germans. Just as it begins to get dark the word “stand to” is passed from traverse to traverse, and the men get busy. The first relief, consisting of two men to traverse, mount the fire step, one man looking over the top, while | the other sits at his feet ready to carry messages or to inform the platoon officer of any report made by the sentry as to his observations in No Man’s land. The sentry is not allowed to relax his watch for a second. If he is questioned from the trench or asked his orders, he replies without turning around or taking his eyes from the expanse of dirt in front of him. The remainder of the occu- pants of his traverse either git on the fire step, with bayonets fixed, ready for any emergency, or it lucky, and a dugout happens to be in the near vicinity of the traverse. and if the night is quiet, they are permitted to go to same and try and snatch a few winks of sleep. Little sleeping is done; generally the men ‘top and fire as rapidly as possible five shots aimed toward the German trenches, and then duck (with the omphasts on the “duck”’). There is a great rivalry between the opposing forces to get their rapid fire off first, because the early bird, in this in- stance, catches the worm—sort of gets the jump on the other fellow, catching him unawares.

BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. HE Tired Business Man to the T bar! He has been tried and found guilty of all sorts of crimes by Judge Robert Grant, Boston's dis- tinguished novelist and jurist. Noth- ing remains but to pronounce sen- tence upon him for his offenses. What are they? I hate to tell you. You see the Tired Businés Man has been so busy of late getting people to subscribe to the Liberty Loan and contributing to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., that it does not seem mind him of his shortcomings. But perhaps in thinking this I am guilty of the very sin of easy going of which Judge Grant accuses equal- ly the Tired Business Man, his daughter and his wife. Because of this sin, says the au- thor of “Unleavened Bread” and 10 certain of his superiority to women. We know that drunken legislators have reeled into the legislative halls to cast their pious votes for prohibi- tion. We know that it is the secret transgressor who is loudest in his denunciation of the sinner that has been found out. And most of us long ago gave up expecting people to correlate their words and deeds. J exacting. Evidently he ex- pects far more of the Tired Business Man than you or I would and is correspondingly disappointed. He says: “The Tired Business Man may dis- claim responsibility ‘for our contin- uous crop of murders and accidents, divorces and hasty legislation, but surely to him ‘more than to anyone else is directly traceable our middle- class craving for the gay but inane and salacious compound which the- atrical managers find to be their best drawing card.

ANY women who pride them- M selves on thelr economy nevertheless waste a good deal of rnoney on unnecessary gas by running the oven in their stoves at too high a temperature. The baker who undertake to run his over with- ysut knowing the exuct degree of tem- perature required for bread, cake, pies, etc., would soon be bankrupt, ‘because he must maintain the stand- ard of his products or else go out of business, and so he uses a thermome- ter that is made especially for that purpose. Some housewives test the oven heat by putting the hand inside and holding it there a moment. This is an unreliable method, for the hand gets so used to heat that it is not very sensitive. Others place a little flour in a pan and if the flour browns quickly, know that the oven is hot, while still others put strips of white paper in the oven and notice the time they take to change color. But the great majority just guess at the amount of heat and therefore they never can tell whether their meat or cake is going to be cooked all through or burned on the top and 'raw in the middle. But any woman who does much cooking will find it will be to her advantage to buy a thermometer, for it will soon pay for itself several times over in the gas it will save as well as the food. The amount of gas burned depends a good deal upon the stove, some gas Do Not Waste Gas in Your Stove. fis better to have the match wait than the gas burn unnecessarily. Open both oven doors before lighting the pilot which lights the oven burners and be careful to see that the pilot is turned off just as soon as the burn- ers are all lighted. It usually takes about six minutes to get an ordinary gas oven to the right degree of temperature for put- ting in a roast of meat or a loaf of bread. Close the door while the heat is being generated so that it will heat quicker and also so that the slight odor of gas that often attends this operation may be carried away be- fore the door is again opened.

The best temperature for roasting meat is 465 degrees Fahrenheit and the same degree of heat will serve for large fowl or turkey. Bread needs from 400 to 450 degrees and biscuits exactly the same heat. Pies and fancy pastry from 350 to 400; layer cake 3290 to 375 degrees, loaf ceke, according to the variety, from 175 to 200: cookies from 275 to 300, angel cake from 250 to 300.

Never try to roast or bake anything by putting it on the floor of the oven, for there should always be a space of several inches between the bottom of the oven and the pan in which anything is cooked. Since in most ovens the top is the hottest part anything that needs to be quickly browned should be put near the top, while the dish that requires long, slow cooking should be placed on the grate a few inches from the bottom.
