So what is more fitting that that the Nepszava, a the Socialist organ of Hungary, shoujd hail with @ outbursts of enthusiasm the liberating mission of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies?

Who was there to uphold the eternal principles of law and justice in Europe but the ruling clique of Budapest, the discredited Panamists? Would you instrust this mission to the unscrupulous diplomacy of “per- fidious Albion,” to the nation of shopkeepers” Laughter turns away wrath. The tragic in- fonsistencies of the policies followed by the In- ternational not only reach their climax in the articles of the poor Nepszava; they disarm us by their humor. | The present series of events began with the Ultimatum sent to Servia by Austria-Hungary. There was not the slightest reason why the In- ternational Social Democracy should take un- der its protection the intrigues of the Servians or any other of the petty dynasties of the Balkan insula. They were all endeavoring to hide their political adventures under the cloak of _fhational aspirations.

The extreme cold, coupled with the increasing need of our associates in war for wheat and meat, ‘emphasizes the pressing necessity of food and fuel conservation. In the matter of fuel, in view of the severity of the winter, the necessity of saving is impera- tive. It will not serve to argue that there is plenty of coal at the mines and that efficient speed in mining and transportation will supply the shortage. The shortage is here and must be met by economy until efficiency at the mines and in transportation affords an ample supply. The fuel administration is at work on the trans- portation and mining problems, but meanwhile the critical situation must be handled by conserva- tion, by actual economy on the part of corpora- tions and individuals using coal. What economy may do is suggested in the World’s Work by Thomas R. Shipp, who refers to statistics offered by the Fuel Administration. It is shown that the saving of one shovelful of coal in the stoves during the year and one shovel- ful of coal in the furnaces during six months of the year would save 40,000,000 tons of coal a year, nearly enough to make up the year’s shortage of 50,000,000 tons. The use of coal oil stoves and fireless cookers will go far to relieve the pressure of coal short- age. Concentration and moderation of heat in buildings and homes would help. We are given to overheating and waste enormous fuel materials through smoking chimneys. In the matter of food conservation, Mr. Hoover has issued an earnest plea for greater saving in the foods required to maintain the health, strength and morale of the armies and the peo- ples who are doing the fighting for us on the fronts. Our associates have called for from 75,- 000,000 to 90,000,000 bushels of wheat and for in- creased meat supplies. 3 We have saved over 25,000,000 bushels of wheat. We can save all our European associates need without affecting our own health, strength or comfort. We must save beef, pork, wheat and sugar, but we have excellent substitutes for them. We could almost live without them by reason of our many healthful substitutes which are excellent foods alone or in combination with these foods. We can spare a large percentage of our usual con- sumption of beef, pork and sugar, without suf- fering even discomfort. We can save enormous quantities by eliminating waste. Shall we not do this voluntarily and cheer- fully? | We do not want rations and rigid regulations. The Food Administrator does not want to apply force. He asks for co-operation. As intelligent people, knowing the need and having opportunity to learn the best methods of conservation, we can accomplish more by voluntary co-operation than by enforced regulations. Every individual, every family, every caterer and every dealer ought, at least, to conform to the suggestions of the Food and Fuel Administra- tion. Every citizen should be a voluntary, active member in the administration. This is the least that citizens should do to serve the country in this crisis. = = * = ALIEN VOTER SLACKERS. Draft boards in Nebraska have started a move- ment to call a special session of the Assembly to revise the voting laws. Their request is that “first papers” citizens be prohibited from voting. The reason is that the draft questionnaire has re- vealed hundreds of young men, recently from countries now allied with the Central Powers, who are seeking exemption from army service as “enemy aliens.” The Exemption Board officials say that as many as 900 of the men in the dual. classification of voters and enemy aliens have been found in some of the Western counties and that this ele- ment is strong enough to swing an election in the State. The Exemption Board members regard this condition as a menace. Nebraska gave the voting privilege many years ago to foreigners who had obtained their first papers, when this element was sought to settle the country. As the privilege has not been abused, it was never revoked. For a few years prior to the outbreak of the war there had been much settlement in that State of Austrians and Germans, especially the former. These men ob- tained first papers at the earliest opportunity. Now they are taking advantage of their lack of second papers, but are giving no indication of their intent to forego their voting privilege. a, i ihr ~~ - KENTUCKY AS DRY LEADER. Many persons will see irony in the fact that the Kentucky Assembly will be one of the first to consider the national prohibition amendment. And those who oppose the adoption of the amendment will be pleased that the prohibition- ists of that State are unable to agree on their method of going about the great undertaking. The question with the prohibitionists in Ken- tucky is, shall they adopt the national amend- ment at once or shall they make the State dry first? The drys appears not to be much troubled about their ability to do either, or both, but they admit there is a possibility of embarrassment if they should adopt the national amendment by a mere majority vote in the Assembly and then fail to submit to their own people a State amendment by a three-fifths vote of the same body. Although the Assembly met last week, there is no clearly defined status on the two propositions. It is admitted that some of the State-wide drys are not nation-wide drys; also that some persons who are wet as to State issues are dry as to the national issue. Local politics and prejudices are going to be counted in voting. Gov, Stanley has come out strongly, according | to his Assembly Spokesman, for a bone-dry bill for the State. It 1s said that the Governor would and the national amendment taken up two years hence. Even the wets appear to believe that Ken- tucky, despite the distillery interests, would go dry on a State vote, but they maintain that Kentucky is not for a dry nation. = = ARMY POLICE WOMEN. Kansas club women and suffrage leaders are holding conferences with a view to asking Con- gress to authorize a women’s police department for the United States army. They assert that women, properly commissioned in the military and assigned to police duty, would supply the one touch required toward making the conditions around the camps ideal. They would have this special police force accompany the forces abroad. This plan has been undertaken under the lead- ership of Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, who was for four years a member of the Kansas State Board of Ad- ministration, which has oversight of all of the Kansas State schools. She quotes reports on the work of policewomen in the various cities where women have been so engaged. She declares that everywlfere women have shown themselves to be valuable aids to men in the fight against drink and vice. Mrs. Lewis also says that the attitude of the army heads has changed materially as to ‘‘neces- sary conditions’ about army camps and her plan is to help the army chiefs carry out their new ideal. ONE AT A TIME. Considering the nature of Gen. Pershing’s er- rand in France, it must be said that the Prohibi- tionists who take exceptions to his wine-and-beer order are going a long way from home to make trouble. The laws of the United States are power- ful in this country, but nobody has yet found a way to enforce them in Europe. It happens that the American army in France is not charged with the duty of redeeming the people of that republic from the soul-destroying evils of light wines and beers. To enforce pro- hibition in our camps it will be necessary to con- vert the French and persuade them to revise their customs and laws, c.nd that might take more time than will be required to overthrow Prussianism. In all missionary enterpriseS success depends upon singleness of purpose. We are carrying the gospel of democracy on our bayonets. There are many other worthy causes, but for the moment this is paramount. Even a professional Prohi- bitionist ought to be willing to accept the theory that if we cannot have universal perfection at once, it may be a good idea to move steadily to- ward that goal by destroying one demon at a time. ¢o-o—__—_- WASHINGTON’S SHORT SPORTS. A great howdy-do, as is usual in such circum- stances, is being made over the news that a Con- gressman and a witness in one of the numerous investigations glared at each other in a way that hinted at personal violence. It was duly headlined as being almost a fist fight and the country was once more thrilled at the truculence of some of the members of our highest law-making body. As a matter of decorum the country is perhaps to be congratulated that the affair went no farther. But it was only another grievous disap- pointment to the hoveful minority which for years has been waiting for one of these little spats at Washington to amount to something. Expecta- tions are arovsed from time to time, but nothing ever comes of it. One begins to wonder if he really is going to live long enough to read about the Gentleman from Massachusetts masticating the left ear of the Gentleman from South Caro- lina while he coyly tries to disengage a Caro- linian thumb from his own right eye socket. Thus far one’s idea of the best exercise to in- sure a ripe old age is a congressional fist fight. These little affairs merely serve to stimulate healthful circulation and perhaps stir up a torpid liver or two. Nobody ever gets hurt. When an ink bottle is hurled the aim is bad and it only means a little extra work for the janitor. There isn’t a chance for even the peacemakers to lose a little cuticle, because when one gentleman ad- vances in a belligerent manner towards an equal- ly fiery adversary, they are usually so far apart that nobody gets out of breath hastening between them. Of course, nobody would be edified at the spec- tacle of a couple of elderly and somewhat flabby lawmakers pummeling each other all over the carpet. But what gravels the average citizen— who knows that when he starts a little ruction it’s an even bet as to which party the ambulance will call for—is that it’s such a harmless propo- sition 40 acquire a reputation for pugnacity at the nation’s capital. Being optimistic, how- ever, the average citizen still hopes to find the story of a real good, gory scrap, some day, with- out having to turn to the sporting page. + & & GERMAN ROBIN HOODS. A Post-Dispatch correspondent at Petrograd finds that the story of the mutiny of German troops who protest against transfer from the east- ern to the western front—one of the few pictur- esque incidents of daring initiative in which Ger- man land forces have figured during the war—is fairly well authenticated. While the reported number engaged, 25,000, may be exaggerated, it seems that some formida- ble body of soldiery have defiea their command- ers and, well armed with rifles, machine guns and heavy artillery and plenty of ammunition, have taken refuge in the forests near Kovno. Attempts to starve them out by surrounding them with loyal troops were reported some days ago, but these are said to have failed. Detached commands even more irregular thai so-called guerrillas and fighting on one side or the other as their interests dictated, have been developed in all great wars. These German mutineers seem to differ from other irregulars in knowing what they want and having a definite purpose. They are described as having imbibee revolutionary doctrines from the Russians, but as differing from the Russian Bolsheviki as they are pictured in that they are prepared to do some desperate fighting unless the Kaiser makes peace. The threat of this huge German Robin Hood ban. to attack the rear of the German army if hostili- ties are renewed in the’East might, under certain conditions, give Hindenburg serious cause for alarm, 4 # prefer to see this question submitted this year or. - _. sma Ste aiaa ae IN Sena * 3 b: Z > se - The MIRROR his column is designed to relia without dias the latest cc is cals on the questions of the dey, = aa a THE WHITE SIDE OF WAR. — JOHN GALSWORTHY in the North Amey ew. me M=s are discovering that hur n . are finer than they had ae young man said to me: “Well, I don’t about religion, but I know that my ops of human nature is about 50 per cent} ter than it was.” That conclusion has’ arrived at by countless thousands, i & great factor—seeing that the belief of ¢ future will be belief in the God within.» a frank agnosticism concerning the gp “Why” of things.

We have now the official temperature in the morning paper, leaving to the realm of speculation and those pleasent fields of for- mer debate nothing more than the chance that it is colder on Mr. Goodneighbor’s front porch than it is on top of the Railway Exchange building. Person- ally, we imagine it is not colder anywhere in town than it is on top of the Railway Exchange building; but having been brought up in those polite circles where it is not always courteous to say what one thinks, we, of course, would not think of saying that or invoking the scientific fact. Moreover almost no- body keeps an outside thermometer any more. It is a pity, we think. There were no nicer adjustments among neighbors in former times than those in which thermometers varying as much as six degrees could finally find tolerance at the other extreme among gen- tlemen on a cold winter morning. All those consider- ations which really don’t matter are giving away be- fore the press of that efficiency of which we prob- ably have enough, thank Heaven, to beat the Kaiser. People in the suburbs still keep the time and debate it, but that is about all. = A And I was blessed the whole day thru With fine and cheerful things to do. My task grew light, my heart was strong, And on my lips a cradle song. MR. ANTWINE REMINISCENCES.. R. ANTWINE took off his overshoes and set- tled himself where he could open the stove door and let the heat out on his fleece-lined M vest. ‘*This sort of thing reminds one of what it was the pioneers chiefly occupied themselves with,’’ he said. **My own recollections of youth are that in Summer we busied ourselves with getting in something to eat and wear in the Winter, and that in Winter we tried to keep from freezing. Not every Winter kept us altogether occupied with that, but one’s recollection of the average Winter is that this was about what happened. ‘*We look back on that time now as one of hard- ship and frequent privation—something out of which we have for the most part risen into better and more comfortable things. I agree with that, but still won- der if that period in which we were getting our hick- ory logs into the woodbox and stuffing rags into the chinks between the logs was not, after all, this coun- try’s heyday. ‘*Have we ever been so happy since? Shall we ever be so happy again? I am afraid not. America, I | think, must some day be looked upon as the world’s romance. Here, singularly, a new race had an adven- ture equaling that of the Swiss Family Robinson. I am afraid it can never happen again. ‘*Possibly one’s occupation with one’s own affairs had something to do with our happiness then. Take the Postmaster there. He had the world on his mind. Is he a picture of joy or gloom? He stands for au- tonomy in Armenia, and he doesn’t know where Ar- menia is. The particular expression one sees upon his face, strange blend of doubt and determinatfon that it is, is something obviously new in this neck of we A SMILE.

We were blocked, finally, by trees that had been torn down by shells and tossed across the road. Just as we were back- ing down the road, a French stretcher- bearer bobbed up from a hole in the ground. “Where do you want to go?” shouted, to make himself heard above the din of explosions and guns. ) “Poste de secours!” we shouted back. “Follow me!” said he. Just as he spoke, an unearthly shriek burst the air and a huge shell-fragment hit the ambu- lance. The Frenchman grinned a sickly grin. Then he ran ahead at his best speed, signalling for us to follow him. He guided us back to a hill and directed us to wait a minute while he located the ‘ poste. He clambered to the roadway of a narrow-gauge _ railroad, and we started to follow him. But we did not follow him far. He was about a hundred feet ahead of us—and, sudden- ly, there was no man ahead of us at all. Before our eyes a Shell had _ struck ‘There was a he cases a day. But when the division was in the trenches on active duty, the business of “evacu- ating” wounded de- manded all the work that men and ambu- lances could do. The automobiles could not go nearer to the front fighting lines for this service than the third-line trenches. Be- yond this dead line the roads were practically obliterated by shells. Therefore the wound- ed men in the trenches had to be brought out by the stretcher bear- ers and carried by them to the succoring sta- tions where we were— the postes de secours.

As the stretcher bearers brought a wounded man to the ambulance, they placed the two wooden feet at the head of the stretcher into two grooves and slid stretcher and patient into the car with one push. } When we had wounded men who could sit up, we folded back the racks that were not in use. We knew how many wounded we should have to carry during the sojourn of any division in the trenches, for ‘the men stayed in the front lines until a fixed percentage of soldiers (usually be- tween 20 and 22 per cent) were either wounded or killed. When the bombardment was light, with attacks not frequent, a division might hold the trenches for almost a month. If, however, there was hard fighting for two or three days in succession, the division might remain in the trenches only a week or two.

ARTHUR GUY EMPEY | Author of ‘‘Over the Top’’ and ‘‘The First Gall.’’ HE battle of the Somme T was still raging. I had been hit by three rifle bullets—one through the left a thing not often nor easily obtained in Paris in this year of our Lord 1917. “Mon Dieu! Que vou- lez vous?” exclaimed the Countess one day last April, shortly be- fore America entered the war. “Servia con- spired against us. She approved, even if she did not instigate the Serajevo murders. How could we possibly sub- mit to the state-inspired assassination of our Archduke and Duch- ess?” “The Serajevo mur- ders were abominable,” said I, “but even so, they cannot have been the cause of the war. Has not the Italian Prime Minister told the world that Austria urged Italy in 1913 to join with her in a war on Servia? That was a cellor in his Reichstag speech as the pre- cipitating cause of the declaration of war on France, with Bismarck’s forged tele- gram from Ems, which was given to the German people as the cause for beginning the war_.on France in 1870. The most:famous forgery in history was the falsification of the Ems telegram. Bis- marck had dragooned Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern into accepting, against his will, the offer of the kingship of Spain. But the French Government intervened and declared the project inadmissible. The King of Prussia and the Frengh Am- bassador, Beneditti, held an amicable in- terview on the subject at Ems. France re- quested a written apology and a promise that the candidature would never be re- sumed. The King refused. Bismarck pub- lished a telegram to himself in Berlin by omitting parts of which he made it appear that France had affronted Prussia in the abruptness of the demand. He was well aware that Prussia would not go to war to place a Hohenzollern on the Spanish throne, but that it would begin hostilities against France if an insult were fabricated. The war followed, the requisite furor Teutonicus (German hatred) being duly aroused. announced that on that day, a little before noon, in violation of the rights of nations, French aviators had dropped bombs upon the peaceful city of Nuremberg. This state- ment aroused German hatred of France, as was intended, and caused the German peo- ple to approve the next step, viz.: the Kaiser's instructions to Baron Schoen, his Ambassa- dor at Paris, to demand his passports and to declare a state of war between Germany and France because of the unlawful and wicked act of the French avia- tors over Nuremberg. Not until long after the war of 1870 did the world learn of the Ems telegram which Bis- marck forged for the set purpose of inducing | How Italy Stopped Austria. , ‘was forced upon you. year before the Archduke and Duchess were mur- dered. How, then, could the Serajevo affair be the real cause of the war?” “Bah! Premier Giolitti is spiteful. not tell the whole truth.” Such was the airy way with which, not an il- literate man on the street, but a brilliant wom- an of the world, who speaks five languages and has traveled everywhere, disposed of a tremen- dous- historical fact. For nothing can more sure- ly fix the blood guilt of the Central Powers than Giolitti’s exposure of their wish to begin the war in 1913—a wish which they abandoned only be- cause Italy refused to join them and they did not then feel fit to win the war without the aid of the third member of the Triple Alliance. He does mee In response to Austria’s demand of August, 1913, that Italy join with her in an attack upon Servia, Prime Minister Giolitti said: “Tf you attack Servia, it is evident that the casus foederis will cease to exist. The war will be solely for your benefit, for it is not a question of defense. No one is thinking of attacking Austria.”’ This response, and this alone, caused Austria to defer until 1914 the wanton attack upon Servia which she first planned to make in 1913. The con- clusion to be drawn from this now known and un- disputed fact would seem obvious, but finding that it meant nothing to even so bright a mind as that of the Countess P., I said: “Well, you are right. I see now that the war ‘ Plainly, it is all a fiendish plot on the part of the rest of the world to ruin Germany and Austria.” The Countess eyed me suspiciously. do you mean?” she queried. ‘‘Why,” said I, “is it not plain that the wicked world’s plot was for Servia to hurl herself upon Austria? And while Servia was conquering your poor country, Belgium was to devastate Germany. As for England, her perfidy is shown by the fact “Just what the French to make a war for which the Ger- mans were prepared to the last soldier and the last gun. In the present case we have not had to wait so long before learning the truth. A noted German author, Prof. Schwalbe, wishing to write a history of the origin of the war, with charac- teristic German thoroughness, started at the be- ginning, i. e., at Nuremberg. And Prof Schwalbe’s chagrin was as great as his surprise when he learned that no French bombs were dropped on Nuremberg, or anywhere in Germany, on Aug. 2, 1914, or on any other day prior to the declaration of war! —_— 7 | City Itself Denies the Story. So embarrassing was Historian Schwalbe’s in- vestigation, in order that his researches might cease and the subject be dropped, he was told the truth. On April 3, 1916, the municipal authori- ties of Nuremberg stated in writing that the Commandant of the Third Bavarian Army Corps (who was in charge at Nuremberg) knew noth- ing of the French bombs and that the reports on that subject were not founded on fact! Prof. Schwalbe published this in his journal, Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift’ of May 18, 1916, then he washed his hands of the affair. What did the German people do when on May 18, 1916, they thus learned that their Emperor, in August, 1914, had declared war on false pre- tenses? Nothing. And that answer throws more light upon the psychology of the German people. | . With all their great qualities of both head and heart, the German people have this sin to answer for: They let out their thinking as other people let out their laundry. They have abdicated the right to think for themselves. When they see an article marked “Wolff, beamtlich” (official), that article to them is as sacred and as convincing as the Gospels of Holy Writ. On Aug. 2, 1914, Wolft’s Agency said French aviators had dropped bombs upon Nuremberg; tha newt day the Kaiser ordered Baron von Schoen to leave Paris; and the following day, Aug. 4, 1914, Chancellor von | cheek, the other two through the left shoulder—while en- gaged in a trench raid for prisoners, and was on my journey to Blighty.

In a hospital of wounded soldiers, a severely wounded case is more or less looked up to, while a man with a superficial wound is carried down a flight of steps and placed on a white tagle in a brightly lighted room, a doctor and a Sergeant bending over me—a delicious drink. of Bass’ ale, tien the whispered word, “Chloroform;” something like a gas helmet being placed over my nose and mouth—a couple of long, indrawn, gasping breaths, a rumbling in my ears; then the skyline of New York suddenly ap- peared. This was quickly followed by the Statue of Liberty shaking hands with the Singer Build- ing; a rushing, hissing sound in by ears, like es- caping steam, and then—blackness. I opened my eyes. I was lying on a stretcher, covered with blankets, in a low-roofed, wooden building. Across the way from me was a long row of stretchers, each stretcher holding a wound ed Tommy, some lying flat, others propped up by folded blankets. Others were sitting on their stretchers tenderly caressing an arm bound up with white bandages. Occasionally a stretcher reclining on which was a muddy and bloody soldier would be carried down the aisle by two stretcher bearers. This } stretcher would be placed in an open space in the row opposite. Hand Seemed to Be in Vise. I could hear a hum of conversation all about me, and as my brain cleared, snatches sal it be- came intelligible. My right hand ‘seemed to be is a vise. I could not release it. Squirming in bed, which sent a sharp, shooting pain through my left shoulder, I tried with my unbandaged eye to see what was holding my wrist. A Royal «rmy Medical Corps man was sitting on the floor at the head of my stretcher, and had my wrist in his grasp. He was about 20 years old and looked dog-tired; his chin would grad- ually sink to his chest, as if he were falling asleep; then he would suddenly start, lift up his head with a jerk, and stare around the room. Pretty soon his eyelids would slowly close. I gave my arm a tug and he quickly opened his eyes; then across his face flashed a smile. To me it appeared like the sun rising from behind a hill at daybreak. That smile sent a warm glow through me. I believe that right then I was in love with his boyish face. Then he opened his mouth, and, as is usual in such cases, spoiled it all: “Strafe me pink, but you do tyke your own bloomin’ time to come out o’ chloroform. ‘Hre I’ve been, bloody well balmy, a ’oldin’ your bloom- in’ pulse.” : Out of the corner of my mouth I asked —_ “Where am I?” Still smiling, he hailed a stretcher bearer across the way: “I sye, ’Awkins, this blighter wants a bloomin’ map of Frawnce; ‘e wants to know where ’e is.” “*awkins,” across the way, answered: “Tell ‘im 'es blooming well in Sam Isaacs’ fish ‘ouse down Tottenham Court road, awaitin’ for ‘order o’ fish and. chips.’ This brought a general laugh from the Tom- mies opposite me and on my right and left. Am I Wounded? Somewhat incensed at their merriment, I re- torted: “Quit your kidding; for the love of Mike have some -sense. What's the matter? Am I wounded?” She stretcher bearer, still with the sunny smile on his face, which made me feel a little ashamed at my resentment, answered: “Naw, you ain't wounded, myte. You just ‘ap- pened to fall down in the bloomin’ road and one o’ these blinkin’ tanks crawled over you.” This rather frightened me ,and in a pleading voice I asked: treated as an ordinary mortal. I could read re- spect, perhaps intermingled with a little envy, in the eyes of the surrounding Tommies and medical men. Close That Damned Door. The door at the end of the ward opened. A how! came from the cot at my right, and a gruff Irish voice shouted: “Close that damned door! You bloomin’ -hos- pital men have no sinse at all. Here I am, knocked about by a shell, and the like o” youse puts me in a bloody draft. It’s a good thing we have a navy; with the likes o’ you blokes in ~ army, we certainly need one.” A snicker went up from the patients. Then a Tommy on my left answered this outburst with: “Bloody nerve, I call it. "Ere ‘e is, a’ covered with blankets, and grousin’ about a little drawit, and not many hours back ’e was lyin’ in a bloom- in’ shell ole, with the wind a-blowin’ the whiskers off ‘im, and ’e a-prayin’ for. stretcher bearers. ;T'll wager a quid ’e belongs to the "Royal. Irish Rifles.”’ The man on my right retorted: “Haw, I'm not in the Royal Irish Rifles, but I belong to a good outfit—the Royal Dublin Fustl- fers, and I can lick the man that says they ain’t.” Just then, from a corner of the ward, came pent voice of a stretcher bearer: 4 “Jones, get the M, O.” (medical officer). terre! up—quick—this poor bloke’s a-goin’ west.”, Ww One “Going West.” The man holding my hand suddenly released his grip and rising to his feet hurriedly left the ward. A dead silence ensued. I tried to turn in the direction from which the first voice had come, but the sharp pain in my shoulder warned me that it was useless. In a few seconds the door opened and I could hear low voices down in the corner. I could see the Tommies around me intently gazing in the direction of the voices. After a few minutes the door opened again, then closed, and Jones came back. I looked up at‘him and he solemnly nodded. One more son of Britain had paid the toll of war, My unbandaged eye suddenly became cloudy and misty and a hot tear rolled down my cheek. The door at the other end of the ward opened and two stretcher bearers entered, going in the direction of the dead man. gpg rad wg: the yard, carrying a stretcher, on which was still form covered with a blanket. The rebrand on my right was repeating to himself: “Poor bloke, poor bloke; he sure done hie »it, and it won't be long before he'll be pushin’ up the daisies somewhere in France. And before this war is over there'll be lots more in the same fix." One of the Tommies, in an effort - be brave, addressed Jones: “What's ‘is nyme,. Mike? What battalion is ‘e from?” Jones answered: “James Collins, a Lance Corporal out of the Royal Warwicks; five machine-gun ‘Dullets through the right lung—hemorrhage.” The door opened again and two stretcher bear- ers entered, carrying a Tommy, bis head lying flat, and a smell of ether pervaded ‘the ward.

Was it necessary to shoot up Bel- gium, devastate France and _ turn treaties into “‘scrapps of paper’ in order to sell German goods to the nations of the earth? Prior to Au- gust, 1914, were not German banks, German commercial houses, German factories seen all over the world? Was there even a suggestion by any responsible nation that Germany’s “peaceful penetration” of the world’s marts should in any way be stopped, or even curtailed or lim- ited ? For several years before the war the portrait of the German Crown Prince was exposed for sale in Ger- many’s shop windows, with this quo- tation from the Crown Prince print- ed beneath the picture: “Mve can obtain the Place in the Sun which is our right only by the aid of a good sword, because no one will voluntarily concede us our place.” A Bloodthirsty Crown Prince. His highness did not deign to explain what kind of a “place” it is that Germany must have, nor who is trying to keep her out of that place, but in his book, “Deutschland in Waffen,” he does make ‘it plain that his idea of supreme happiness is that which war alone can bring In describing the maneuvers of his troops at Doeberitz before the war he wrote: “A front of five squadrons of the guards advances. The signal ‘March!’ is given. The horses are spurred to their maximum ef- forts. The cavaliers advance shouting, Hurrah!’ their bodies leaning forward, their lances at ‘rest—For one who has partici- pated in such charges there ex- ists nothing in all the world more beautiful. And yet to the true cavalier there is one thing more beautiful.” What? His Highness is good enough to tell us; the one thing more beautiful than the mock combat of the maneuvers is a ‘real combat to the death!”’ “How often,” he continues, “have I heard during these charges of the maneuvers the ardent cry of a com- rade: ‘Sacreblem If only it were in earnest!’ Reitergeist! All true sol- diers will understand and feel it.’’ And in taking leave of his com- rades at Dantzig the Crown Prince declared that the ‘“‘moment of su- preme felicity’ for him would be when the King gave the signal at the head of his army. A Draw a Victory for Germany. As wrote the Crown Prince so wrote the professors and military men under him. And so at last the Prussian autocracy got the war it wanted. Thus far it has proved for them a disappointment, for the Crown Prince and his followers con- fidently expected the march to Paris to be a holiday parade, followed by the annexation of French provinces and the payment of French indem- nities. But despite this disappoint- ment, should Germany win the war, should she even win a draw, Prussian militarism would be victorious; for Prussian domination from Berlin to Bagdad would be assured. And with nearly 200,000,000 of population, in- stead of only 70,000,000, to organize, drill and mold into a military ma- chine the Prussian autocracy would rule not only Europe but the world. When I argued thus to the Countess P. for the first time we found our- selves in agreement. “Yes,” she said. “If the Entente Powers fail to win a decisive victory’ my poor country will be but a vassal State to the Prussian military party. lt is that thought which reconciles p Austrians to the possibility of de- eat.”’ Must Prove War Does Not Pay. Other Austrians have expressed to me the same thought and we Ameri- cans should take the lesson to heart. Certainly, if Austria, Prussia’s ally, feels that Prussian victory would be unsafe for Austrian independence the countries of the Entente should understand that only by decisive de- feat of the Prussian autocracy can democracy be made safe for the rest of the world. The war’s result must be such as to prove to the German people themselves that war does not bay; that autocracy will make them that tearing treaties into scraps of paper will mean for Germany bur- densome taxes, not rich provinces and juicy indemnities! Only by teaching Germany this les- Yo ug can not, afford.

P.).—The railroad administration to- day met the Jan. storm conditions pre- vailing throughout the country with |informal instructions to railroads to move coal first wherever possible, , and to redouble energies to keep. locomotives in running order. High ‘Winds, low temperatures and snow .in the Middle West caused the fear that passenger traffic in that section and west of Chicago would have to ibe abandoned, and Director-General McAdoo instructed railroad officials | (to follow the course which local con- | _ditions required. A. H. Smith, assistant director for Eastern lines, reported to the Di- irector-General late today that meager advices from the West indicated) ‘the continuance of passenger service depended on abatement of the storm ‘tonight. Wires were down, box cars blown from the tracks or unroofed and all trains late. A number of passenger trains already were stalled, 'it was reported. Further reports ‘from railway executives at Chicago | are awaited. In the East traffic conditions are, much better, but officials are wor-' ried over the eastward movement of ‘the storm. The disruption of traffic in the West and Southwest is only _temporarily serious, it was pointed out, since congestion can be cleared up quickly when normal weather is'| ‘restored, but in the East it would |take weeks to eliminate the storm’s effect. Traffic in the East is re- | ported to be moving a little faster, \although great quantities still are held up. of coal The railroads’ policy of elimination | of priority orders was reaffirmed to- when officials refused the re- ‘quest of steel and of! interests for) special preferential movements. Until the congestion {is cleared no ship- ments may have a clear priority right, officials explained. Berlin Papers Raise Price. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11 (By A.

Whisler’s former wife, froru whom he was divorced about a year ago, and a son, Duane, 14 years old, reside in Salina, Kan. His parents live at Goodland, Kan. Capt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Careful consideration of the President’s ad- dr to Congress has left Washing- whether the message was one of peace or of war. There is no dowbt that the popular view, shared by the larger number of Con- gréssmen, holds the address to mark ans approach toward peace, but ng the more thoughtful the opin- iort! is general that the terms enun- ciated by the President are certain to gprolong the war, which (those hojding this view say) is a virtue, begnuse is precludes the possibility of @ negotiated or compromise peace sugh as would leave the seed of fu-| ture dissension ready to germinate almost upon the signing of the treaty. the measure of the message must | bejfound in the reception accorded to y Germany.

P.) —Extravagant expense bills filed by many members of local boards for their services in classifying regis- trants has led Provist Marshal Gen- eral Crowder to accept the recom- mendation of board members and ‘others connected with the adminis- tration of the selective araft to place the salary feature of the classifica- tion system on a cost basis. In a telegram sent today to all State Governors, Gen. Crowder pro-~- mulgates new regulations, approved ty President Wilson, under which the boards hereafter will receive an aggregate of 30 cents remuneration for each man finally classified, ex- clusive of compensation for clerks or examining physicians who are not members of the board. Under the old rules the boards were allowed a maximum of $150 a month for each member, exclusive of clerical help. Extravagant Expense Estimates. While many board members have renewed their offers of gratuituous services and others have held their expense accounts down, Gen. Crow- der said in his telegram, “a con- siderable number, regardless of the size of registration in their respec- tive jurisdiction, have made their es- timates on so extravagant a scale that the total cost could not be paid out of any appropriation which Con- gress would be willing to make or ‘which the people of the nation would approve.”’ ‘Under the new regulations ex- penses already allowed board mem- bers “will be considered to have been based upon the provisions of this regulation, and any and all fur- ther payments shall be computed ac- cordingly.” The boards, by unanimous vote, will distribute the 30 cents allow- aice per man among their members as they desire, provided that no | Wmember shall receive more than 15. cents and no two members more than 25 cents. Asks for Co-Operation of All. Gen. Crowder praises the patriotic | raembers of the boards who are giv- | ing their time to the Government | without pay, and adds: “Personal sacrifices are noting madé on every hand. The soldiers | who are being selected by the local | ay.d district boards have given up | comfortable homes and, in many | cases, sacrificed large incomes fn or- | der to fight for their country 24 | hours a day for $30 per month. * | * * Therefore, it is not unreason- | able to request the great army com- | posed of local board members to.) rr eet the Government and co-operate | with it in the matter of minimum | cost. “This is their country, they sid part of its army, and it is confidently expected that they will give the Government in the future, as they have in the past, the best that is in them, and that they will receive com- pensation only to the extent that may be necessary in their condition in life.’’ lems are co-ordinated under the re- organization, Secretary Baker de- clared, by creating bureaus of pro- duccion, inspection and supply. The reorganization, Baker insisted, ac- complished “exactly’’ what the Brit- ish munitions directorship does. He added that Chairman Willard of the Advisory Committee of the Council of National Defense, and other mem- bers have approved the reorganiza- tion. Secretary Baker conceded that the War Industries Board would . not have power to speed up industria: production, which would be the work of the War and Navy Depart- ments’ respective bureaus. A “very wide” extension of functions of the board is contemplated, he explained Senator Weeks thought Baker might have delayed his reorganiza- tion until the committee concluded its work. Baker denied that the in- vestigation prompted him to reor- ganize. When Senator Weeks asked if Ba- ker was satisfied with the work of Quartermaster-General Sharpe and Gen. Crozier, chief of the ordnance. the Secretary replied: “Yes, per- fectly. Under the circumstances they did the best that possibly could have ' been done.”’ RUB AEUMATISM AWAY!

Edison announced his invention of an entirely new Phonograph and records that it would be different, fhat it would be a distinct advancement over existing types, which merely repro- duced with an artificial tone, entirely unlike the orig- inal ? Have you accepted this new Phonograph of Mr. | | Edison’s? Don’t you think you owe it to yourself to investigate the New Edison? You should not be satisfied with any instrument that merely reproduces sound. We say that Mr. Edison has thrown into the discard all the old methods employed by others and developed new methods which cannot be copied by any one; he has set a new standard; he has proven thata mechanical device can reproduce sound without that artificial tone. Our method of proof is by placing the original voice alongside the instrument for comparison. Do you need better proof? No other manufacturer of sound-reproducing instruments dare offer this test. The NEW EDISON is the only instrument that actually re-creates the tone of the singer and will stand the test! _- : ‘iF | : | tt i fi | ee _ Danee WI to See % Wafers Clears Your Skin petawe of looks.

BIDDLE CAR TO BE _ * SHOWN ON LOCUST ST. The Biddle Motor Sales Co. will epen their new sales room at 3104 Locust street this week. The organization, which is headed by E. J. Lanchey, will handle in the South- weet territory the line of Biddle cars, the product of the Biddle Moter Car Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Four of the latest models have been sent from the factory by express and should reach St. Louis early in the week. Plans are being made to dis- play the car at the Automobile Show, and the complete exhibit will be sent here from the Chicago show. The Biddle line is very comprehen new | = VELIE HAS NINE ve in its scope; having tyvo distinct chasses, each with a complete line of | both elosed and open cars. The bodies are all custom made, thus giv- | ing the buyer any color option that) might be desired. The design is very distinctive, having low sweeping lines, with a sharp-pointed radiator. The larger car has 1$2-inch wheel base and is equipped with a $0-horse power, four-cylinder Dusenberg mo- tor, selling in the $2500 class. The smaller has 121-inch wheel base and ia motored with a 40-horse-power Bu- der power plant. In this model, in ad- Gition to the closed cars, there are siz styles of open cars; three road- stera. two touring cars and a speed- ster.

Rapid progress in the cleaning and remodeling of the Exhibit Building, formerly the Southern Hotel, is being made by the contractors, so as_ to have it ready for the opening of the automobile show, Monday night, Feb. 18. The bulldine was leased for 19 years by the Exhibit company, 1955 Railway Exchange. This company is preparing to let a number of conces- sions, not only for the automobile show, but of a permanent character, for a restaurant, at the former Faust location, for heavy and light refresh- ments, confectionery, cigars, news and a flower stand. After the autemodile show, the Turkish baths, barber shop and check room are to be leased and opened. The name “Exhibit Bullding” has been adopted by the leasing company, and will hereafter be used to the exclusion of all other terms for the historic ho- tel building. Monday morning the water wil] be turned on in the building, and by noon Monday the boilers wil be heat- ied and steam distributed through the building, so that workmen can begin tearing out the partitions which must be removed and widening a’ number of the doors so as to admit automo- bileg in the various exhibit rooms. | The Show Committee is in a quan- |dary as to space. The amount of 'space avallable is much less than at last’ year’s show, and it will be im- possible to give any exhibitor enough to show a full line of cars. It is en- tirely possible that no exhibitor will be given room for more than three cars. The Show Committee wants to take care of not only the members of the St. Louls Automobile Manufacturers’ j}and Dealers’ Association, but of the half-dozen dealers who are not mém- | bers, and will do so in some way. ( The committee has not yet been able to decide where the accessory spaces will be located. They will either be in the east and west corri- dors of the second floor, or else on the third floor, with elevator service to them. A half-dozen leading St. Louls deco- rators and two from outside of the city are figuring on beautifying the building for the auto show. While the motif of the decorations will be pa- triotic throughout, it is planned to use smilax and other green plants, in- cluding bay trees and palms. Monday a force of clerks will begin addressing invitations to more than 600 dealers in automobiles in the ter- ritory surrounding Sst. Louis. Three tickets of admission will be sent to each dealer outside of St. Louis. The Show Committee will meet three times during the coming week, to finally pass on details. The com- mittee consists of H. W. Spalding of the Cadillac Automobile Co., W. S. Roberts of the J. I. Case T. M. Co., N. F. Sutton of the General Motors Truck Co., W. L. Johnson of the John- son Automobile Co., and Milton §B. Strauss of the Detroit Blectric Sales Co. The manager of the show is Robert FE. Lee, and the show office is at 105 South Ninth street, fourth floor. cnnniepliotedionen ® ANGORA GOATS FURNISH CADILLAC UPHOLSTERY It’s a lucky soldier whose wife. mother, sister or sweetheart knits for him a sweater or a helmet of Angora wool. For the fine, long An- gora makes the warmest, closest and softest of garments. Most women | Knitters know this, and most of them feel that, except for a very especial bit of knitting, Angora wool is too costly for them to use. But Angora is not too costly for the Cadillac Motor Car Company to use for upholstering the interiors of its enclosed cars. It forms the base of the mohair velvet which is found in Cadillac Iimousines, broughams, town cars and landaulets. The Cadillac Company has found /} that no other material quite matches Angora mohair velvet in beauty, dur- ability or cleanliness. None of the original luster of the long, silky wool is lost in the preparations which pre- cede its weaving into fabrics. When the velvet is completed, it has a pile which it is impossible to crush flat. Hence all the wear comes on the ends of the individual fibres, and even in hard use is so slight that it is not perceptible. Pullman and other high class railroad cars have their chairs upholstered with mohair velvet. A car seat that had been itn constant service for 24 years was recently ex- hibited by one of the railroads. Hav- ing a pile, dust settles into {t, does not show on the surface, and at pro- 'per times and places can be removed by air blast, vacuum cleaner or brush. covenant NEW ST. LOUIS FIRM | WILL RETAIL DORT | An tmportant deal has been com- pleted between the Kardell Motor Car Company, Dort distributors, and the Neskov Mumperow Motor Car | Company, a new corporation, where- | by Dort cars will be retailed) here- after exclusively in St. Louis and sub- urbs by the new company, which has contracted for 200 Dort cars which they will sell in the city this year. J. M. Neskov, one of the best known automobile salesmen in this commu- nity, is the president and general man- ager of the new concern. Adolph Mumperow fs vice president and treasurer, and August Mumperow is secretary. Neskov won the enviable reputation with a local automobile company as premier salesman, hav- ing the honor of heading the list each month. The company will move into a new place of business, 3116 Locust street. about Jan. 15. Several carloads i automobiles are already en route. cnseneptnsenmngurtineentnennahanetenn cain The line consists of sedan, sedanet. coupe, touring car and roadster. NEW GRANT LINE, OF CARS AND TRUCKS HERE The first shipment of the new 1918 Grants Six models will reach St. Louis tomorrow. While the characteristics that were distinctive to the Grant have been retained, the car has been increased in size and improvements made in almost every feature. In de- signing this new model the engineers have given it over-sifed parts throughout, greatly increasing the “margin of safety.” Special attention has been given to first shipment will include both a Springfield type Sedan and a de- mountable top sedan. This will be the first time that the Grant sedans have been shown in St. Louis and J. C. Barcus of the St. Louis Grant Mo- tor Co., the St. Louis distributor, is very enthusiastic over it. In addition to the two sedans and |the touring car, the line offers a |roadster and a Springfield type con- vertible coupe. A shipment of Grant trucks is also en route to St. Louis. In this truck the name aloné is new, for it was for- mefly the well-known Denmo truck: the name having been recently changed when the Grant company purchased the Denmo factory. The truck is built in four sizes of three- quarter ton, ton and a quarter, two ton and three ton capacities. The chassis is strictly a commercial car, being built of standard truck units throughout, using the Torben- sen internal-gear drive. One of the biggest innovations in the Grant truck ie that all models are equipped with an electrical starting and lighting system. a Mr. Barcus plans at once to put in a service station for the benefit of the large number of Denmo users now in St. Louis and a full stock of parts will be kept for convenience. _ . WILL SELL BRAENDER TIRE The Central Tire Service Co., of which Thomas F. Carpenter is mana- ger, at 8908 Washington boulevard, has taken the agency for St. Louis for the Braender tire. closed cars in the new line and this'/ | AUTO CARS FOR BIGGER | ple sedan, $2960.

The Postoffice Department's new “farm-to-table’ motor, truck service is getting enthusiastic reception from farmers along the routes, according to department officials; commenting on the plan to put the farm products at the disposal of city homes. The first route links Philadelphia and Baltimore with the rich farming district of Chester County, Pa. Ox- ford, in the center of the county, 1s the end of the route. Autocars bought by the department are mak- ing frequent trips between the coun- try postoffices and both cities. Under the “farm-to-table” plan the department has issued booklets giv- ing the names of the farmers along the route who are willing to sell their products on mail orders from either city. The farmer fills his orders and turns the mover to the nearest post- office, or other collection point. Then | the Autoear trucks carry them to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Postof- fices, from which they are delivered through the regular channels of the parcel post. ao eS NEW KING PRICES. The prices for the eight-cylinder King product have been announced by General Sales Manager Wallace C. Hood, as follows: Seven-passenger touring car or three-passenger road- ster, $2150; four-passenger foursome, $2350, and seven-passenger converti- When we speak of comfort, you naturally think first of bodily — comfort.

MAXWELL SEDAN UNIQUE IN INTERIOR PLAN The new Maxwell sedan which reached the distributor, the Weber Implement and Automobile Co., re- cently, offerg a good example of the attractive closed cars produced in even the lower-priced lines. This Maxwell sedan is unique in that it has four doors, giving all the advan- tages of the open touring car when desired. The car is upholstereqd in gray whipcorg and has divided front seats, the one beside the driver re- volving so its occupant may face front or back. With wire wheels, the price of the car is $1275. 60 delivered in St. Louis. Attorney Frederick N. Judson bought the first Maxwell sedan re- ceived by the Weber Co., and made a gift of the car to his daughter. GARFORD TRUCK DRIVES CHICAGO TO NEW YORK “When the history of the war is written,” says a prominent authority, “technical experts will call it a war of artillery, but the men who have had to battle with the business of it will always know it as the war of mechanical transportation.” The same great problems of trans- portation are being faced by manu- facturers in this country in moving materials without delay as in the war area which is reflected by the Government order in increasing de- murrage charges to facilitate the more expeditious handling of mate- rials. Repeated demonstrations with Gar- ford trucks in continuous’ service have shown their practicability in all weathers to aid in using the high- ways as an outlet for this congestion. A trial run is now being made with a standard Garford truck, heavily loaded, which left Chicago in one of the worst winter’s storms. This truck passed through Toledo necessaries by motor trucks. armies in Europe are already 100,000 motor trucks in trans- tation service.

C. Wilson of the Wilson Motor Car Co., St. Louis distributers for the Haynes Automobile Co. According to Mr. Wilson there are three situations which may lead to an ineffective lighting arrangement, any one of which the man who drives. his own car may remedy himself. Briefly stated they are: Headlights in poor focus; reduced reflection, and failure of bulbs to burn. “If your headlights burn brightly, but fail to illuminate the road, it is an indication that the lamps are not properly focused,” says Mr. Wilson. “This may eps placing the car about 50 feet from the side of a building and adjust- ing the headlights until the bright spot from each bulb is slightly more than three feet in diameter and the two illuminated areas almost touch. The lower edge of each circle of light should be about 18 inches from the ground. ‘Reduced reflection results chief- ly from tarnished spots and dust on the polished silver reflecting sur- fees. A chamois soaked in alcohol wad then dipped in dry powdered rouge should be used on tarnished areas. Great care must be taken. so that no grit will scratch the re- flector. “The failure of headlight bulbs to ourn may be traced to defective oulbs, poor connections, short cir- cuits or ‘grounds’ in the lighting sys- tem. If one light goes out, the bulbs should be interchanged and this will indicate whether the trouble is in the bulb or the wiring. When lights fail to burn with the electric starter working and the automatic circuit preaker closed, the cause is com- monly an open circuit, due either to a break in the wiring or a poor con- nection in the socket at the back of the headlight. If one light burns more brightly than the other when the dimming switch is used, a ‘ground’ or short circuit is usually manager of the Maxwell Motor Co., |Present.” WILLYS in the/ ——__—_ >. ADDS NEW LAURELS TO FAME Almost since the inception of the ‘automobile industry, John H. Willys, of Toledo, O., has been a leading factor in the industry. Each year he has gone to the New York national automobile show with new records of achtevement during the preceding twelve months. The 1918 show proved no exception to the rule. In fact the Willys ac- complishments in 1917 are on an even more enviablé nature than those of almost any other man in the industry. Not only does the company, of which he is the head and directing genius, show a bigger sales volume of cash business for 1917 than for any previous year in its history, but he has managed to branch out Into an- other important industry with the re- sult that John Willys is today one of the leading producers of aeroplanes in the United States. It seems quite fitting that the man who has given 80 many years to the development of the automobile, un- til it has become one of the country’s most necessary utilities, should now turn a considerable part of his at- tention to the development of the aeroplane—that most effective fight- ing arm in the war service of the allied nations, Incidentally Mr. Willys found time this fall to take charge of the. na- tional War Camp Community Service Campaign and put the moyement over with his usual success. AUTO PUTS MAN ON EDGE “In this period of world upheaval! the question to ask one’s self is: “Am I efficient?’ says J. C. Kardell of the Kardell Motor Car Co., St. Louis, Dort distributor. “We all owe the best that is in us td the great cause our country is fighting for. Are you giving it? Are you equipped to give it? Are you making the most of your time? “The automobtie is one of the most potent means of putting you on edge for your work and getting you to it quickly. It is an all important link in the nation’s transportation sys- tem. It is a preserver of health and a builder of energy. It minimizes miles, demolishes distance. It ig the moet essential of our products, for its use vitally concerns the manufac- ‘ture and sale of all the others.” romeo HAD PRESENTS FOR 10,000 “Only a saving people can ulti- mately be successful, either Individ- ually Or ag a@ nation,” declared Preal- dent H. 8. Firestone of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., in announcing the Christmas gift by the company to each employe at Akron, O., of a bank booke with a credit of $1 deposit- ed in a local bank. More than 10,000 people, ranging from department heads tb’ the néwest office boys, ghared in thig 4istribution. Fach employe In the 60 branches outside of Akron, was given a $1.00 Thrift Stamp. SAYS ‘CHOKE THE CHOKER’ ‘Very serious running troubles may may be experienced during the cold weather,” said C. W. Burst, superin- tendent of the Moon Motor Car Co. of St. Louis, “by the too free use of the choker'on your car. “The practice on a cold day is to open the choker so as to get a free flow of gasoline for an easy start, and the driver frequently leaves the choker open. The result is a too free flow of gasoline which does not explode, but goes over the piston and down and into the lubricating oil. “Where the plunger type of pump is used it will not operate when the | lubricant is thinned, as the oi] will not syphon. The result of this is bad lubrication or no lubrication at all, |and serious trouble frequently resuits. We advise every owner of a Moon car to only use the choker long: enough to get the motor started.” —— ily be remedied by /|° engine’”’.

The George, in November. The story of speed on water be- gan centuries ago, when the Roman galleys. first used double and triple banks of. sweeps to. enable them to run down and-destroy their enemies on the sea, Speed was half the bat- tle even then. Centuries later the Norsemen swept the coasts of Wurope in their long, narrow gal- leys. Centuries later still the swift- er English fighting ships outma- neuvered and destroyed the Spanish armada. Down in Revolutionary War times and in the War of 1812. eur. American ships outsailed and outfought the heavier and slower English frigates. American clipper ships for a time controlled the trade | of the seas because of their wonder- ful sailing qualities. But the steam- er put the clipper ship. inte the dis- card by cutting its schedule in two. ‘In small boats the matter of high speed was given a tremendous im- petus by the debire for torpedo craft and scout vessels that could outrun th fast cruisers. Then came the submarine and the submarino chasers. |50 Miles Considered Best. In 1914, when the great war began in Burope, Chris Smith of Algonac, Mich., had just built a boat that promised to smash all speed records on the water. It was Baby Reliance V., the first. speed boat that ever reached fifty miles an hour... At. that day fifty miles an hour was consid- ered wonderful, although Chris. Smith and. Commodore J. Stuart Blackton were planning ahead and dreaming of a mile a minute. Blackton built boat after boat trying to reach that speed. As each flyer cost about $10,- 000,. it was po. poor man's pastime. But for all his effort and Smith's building and Charlie Criqui’s engine genius a mile a minute wasn't in sight in 1914. Baby Reliance V and Baby Speed Demon II got up to fifty-five milen an hour in competition, . At this time Jack Beebe was & boat WH trials‘were held on: Lake George ti the same latitu@e as Portland,. Me. The weather was so bad that the judges and timers had gale to die down. There was doubt that a hydroplane could float in’ the choppy sea that was running but decided to make -the attempt. *he official surveyor of the Amer- ican Power Boat Asociation had lald out the course... Henry Sampson, offi- cial. timer; C. F; Chapman, secretary of the racing commission, and Capt. w. G. Wat official surveyor, acted as timers. MY.

And t days later, dr, This to wait for two days for a Nor’west: that ever reached 70 miles an hour new record was made on Lake builder and designer working at the Smith plant. It was rumored that Jack Beebe was the real designer of Smith's fast boats, and when he left, in 1916, and started as a rival boat builder it was thought the “Algonac Wizard's” supremacy would come to an end. Beebe built a fine looking racer for the Gold Challenge Cup Race. But after tales of wonderful time trials in private his motor broke dewn in competition and h boat caught fire and was damaged beyond repair. And Smith came out with Miss Minneapolis, which ran away from all rivals, and in the mile time trials was the first sailing boat in the world to reach the longed for mile a minute speed. Miss Minneapolis aver- aged 61.8 miles an hour in six one mile triale up and down stream. Time trials are run in opposite direc- tions and the average time taken to avoid any assistance by wind or cur- rent. Miss Detroit Set Record. This year a second Miss Detroit came out and beat Miss Minneapolis, made a new Gold Challenge Cup raee record and broke the mile recorg with a speed of 61.72 miles an hour. By this time it looked as if Chris Smith had all the speed records on water tucked away. His 250 horse power engine fliers had easily whip- ped all contenders. Jack Beebe had appeared again with Whfip-po’Will Jr., which had breken down and failed miserably. There wasn’t a real rival in sight. But the failure of Whip-po’Will Jr. was caused by engine trouble. The valves of the great 600 horse powe: twelve cylinder motor couldn't stand racing speed. Beebe, who is an en- gine expert aS well as.a boat builder, went quietly to werk with the engine builders. An entirely ‘new valve metal was invented, and in November Whip-po’Will Jr. was traveling like a streak of light. It was late in the season. The winds were raw and cold. But Commodore Judson decided to have one mere crack at the mile record. ‘Weather so Bad on Day Trial was to “Be Made That Judges Decided to Wait First mile—53 seconds; speed, 67.92 milee an hour. 7 Second mile—61.67 seconds; 69,67 mines an hour. Third mile—51.70 secends; 69.68 miles an hour. Fourth mile-—61.85 seconds; 70.16 miles an hour. Fifth mile—-52.30 seconds; speed, 68.83 miles an hour. Sixth mile—61.36 secenés; speed, 70.15 miles an hour. Average speed, 69.39 miles an hour. Timers, H. W. Sisson, J. W. Ward, A D. Roberta, H. C. Knoblauch. Nearly eight miles an hour has +been added to the world’s mile record by Jack. Beebe’s new creation, and Commodore Judson has the fastest 4+ beat ef any size or power that ever skimmed the water. Just what Christ Smith will produce to offset Beebe’g new record-holder no -~ knows but the Algonac Wiz- ard. Up to this time Smith has deen content to break world’s records with engines of only 260 horsepower. Ile has performed miracies with these engines.

The score at the end period was 15 to &, on the long end. In the second pe- riod, however Principia buckled down to their task and Yeatman failed to count a field goal, scoring their aditional three points on free throws. It was the firat game of the sea- son for the Principla quint and if it can be taken as a criterion, this five will have a team capable of hold- ing its own again. most of the high school teams of the city.

XPHRIENCD, runs the adage, j is the best teacher. Where- fore, Walter C. Heisner, the new ref- eree for the South Broadway Ath- letio Club, should be eminently fit- tea for the task. Heisner is 33 years old, a native St. Louisan, and has followed boxing here for 17 rs. He boxed as a professional under the name of “Kid Waller” in 1904, but abandoned the game because of parental objection. Previously, how- ever, he picked up much knowledge of ring work associating with such boxers as Abe Attell, Johnny Reagan, Harry Forbes, Tommy Sullivan, Tom- others. He associated with Billy Westhus in staging amateur shows and offic-; tateq as timekeeper for Walter Lev- ine’s St. Leuis A. C., and the National A. C., of which Frank Bishop was the: guiding light. He has refereed many amateur tournaments here, as well as several professional contests. Har- ry Sharpe, the dean of referees in §* Louis has this to say of Heisner’s capabilities: Sharpe Boosts Heisner. “Heisner has a practical and thee- retical knowledge of boxing, know- ing the game in all {te departments. I Knew him when he appeared in contests before the West End Club when I officiated there as referee, and he was rated as a game and clev- er boxer. Since then he has been a close student of ring hapentngs, has frequently directed the training of | my Feltz, Jack O’Brien and many). 'team would have to be let out if the’ rules of the A. A.

But he continued to grin, and | poke Sam with his left. But I read ‘what was passing through his mind and eaw with a sickening feeling in- side me that he had about concluded that it was about time to shove over the right and end Sam in less than a round. “T almost trembled while I watched him prepare to try it. After putting in a few lefts to get Sam off baiance, over came the Fulton's right with enough force to level the Pennsyl- vania Station. But there was no Langford where it landed. Quick as a flash the “Tar Baby’s” pile-driving left came whipping over Fulton's right arm. It landed smack behind Fulton's ear and he reeled back with his knees bending and I saw the finish right there. But I was surprised to find that hé did not seem dazed. Instead, he fell back into a good defense and poked: Langford back with his wag- I climbed into the ring and gavé him a tongue lashing. “Fulton grinned. “I know better now—look here.’ and he directed my attention to the back of his head. A lump bigger than a hen’s egg had arisen just abaft the ear. Had it landed on the jaw, two inches for- ward, Fulton would have paid the penalty of his disobedience, As it was, the test did him good. For the next four rounds he followed strict instructions, putting his left into Sam’s face regularly, and holding back his right. So long as he with- held that, Langford’s left was practically neutralized. Sam’s Eyes the Target. 66 A ND the great Sam!

Great Confed- .erate Generals: Lee, Jackson, John- ston. The greatest American Gen- eral of cavalry, and the most ig- norant, was Nathan Bedford For- fest, upon whose head Gen, Shgr- man set a price, saying he must be killed if it cost 10,000 lives and break the treasury. George Arm- strong Custer, grandson of a Hes- sian officer of the revolution, was perhaps the greatest of the Union cavalry leaders and to him much of the fame of that other famous cavalryman, Philip Henry Sheri. dan, was due. Hugh Judson Kil- patrick won a splendid reputation as a@ daring and brilliant cavalry officer. Joseph Wheeler fought the most desperate cavalry battle of the Civil War and at other times did great service for the Confeder- acy. In the Spanish War he dis- tinguished himself as a successful General of his united country. James Elwell Brown Stuart became famous as a cavalry leader of the Confed- eracy. The trouble Stuart made for McClellan can hardly be estimated. Gen. George Stoneman was a brave and capable cavalry leader of tha Union army, but was so unfortunate ag to be taken prisoner, a fate, how- ever, Which was that of a great cavalry raider of the Confederacy, John Hunt Morgan.. James H. Wil- son was one of the most gallanr and dashing cavalry leaders pro- duced on the Union side during the war. We find this statement: “It ig not true that Gen. Forrest was “an ignorant man, never to his dy- ing day able to reae@ or write.” On the other hand, he was a man of extraordinary ability and the pos- sessor of a great deal of solid wis- dom. The poverty of his parents prevented him from obtaining an early education, but {n mature life he learned to read and write.” Owen Wister writes: “We have not produced a Napoleon, and military talents of greater brillfancy than Grant’s fought on both sides. Pure- ly as Captains, Lee, Jackson, Sher- man and Thomas, if not others, are likely to stand higher; while Sheri- dan, during his brief opportunity, proved such a thunderbolt that, did history know men by their promise instead of by their fruits, he might outshine the whole company, and rank with Charles of Sweden or Conde. Yet Grant sits above and apart.” Noted Generals of the Revolution: Washington, Gates, Greene, Putnam, Marien, Wayne, Allen. (Try Public Library for books you wish.) BEAUTY CULTURE. MUD FACE.—Pimples: Practice deep-breathing of pure air and ex- ercise all muscles. Dr. Gancher of Paris adviseg little or no medication, and insists stomach needs as much attention as skin itself. Sauces, rich desserts, stews, fish, canned goods, tomatoes, fried, greasy meats, cabbage, sausage, sa@uer- kraut and all fermented substances should be avoided. A few drops of milk of magnesia every few hours or 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls at each meal is advisable. Then 2 ozs. glycerin, with heaping teaspoon precipitated sulphur, mixed with 4 oss. carnation water: face is anointed every night with this fluid and onee or twice daily a few minutes. (1 cake of yeast 8 times a day 3 weeks cured acne lasting 2 years. Some are not ANSWERS TO OU ERIES | Query for Sunday must be mailed a week beforehand. | MISCELLANEOUS, J. C.

Ih D.—Piano keys can be cleaned as can any ivory by being rubbed with muslin dipped in al- cohol.. If very yellow use a piéce of flannel moistened with cologne water, BROWN.—Soldierg and salilors cannot be garnished. You can only send a statement of the facts to the officer in whose command they are serving. That, of course, may not get the money, IGNORANT.—Superfluous hair is moistened one day with peroxide of hydrogen, next day with ammonia. The former bleaches to Invisibility. the latter gradually weakens roots. Look out for skin discoloration. CONSTANT—Ginger, East and West Indies. It was known to the Romans. Pliny says it was brought from Arabia. Essence of ¢g., for flav- oring is ginger and alcohol; syrup of g. is used by druggists for flav- oring ginger tea, a remedy for filat- ulency; ginger beer, beverage flav- ored gith g.; ginger wine, a cheap liquor flavored with g¢. AMANDA.—When entering a the- ater, opera house or hall the ladies pass first through the front en- trance; the men joining them, then take the lead, giving the tickets to the one appointed to collect them, securing programs, and then deliv- ering the ticket coupons to an usher. If the usher then leads the way the |! ladies are given precedence and the || men follow, but if the usher is not met at the entrance to the aisle a woman’s escort almost always pre- cedes her. Z. Z.—Ermine and white fox that have become grimy from use may be cleaned with warm flour or bran. The latter ts easier to brush out. Before applying, warm in a clean pan placed in oven, but do not let stay long enough to discolor, Spread garment on table, and with 2 flan- nel cloths warmed rub the powder over the skin, then work it in thor- oughly and evenly. This done, hang || fur in alr and with light whip beat until all cleansing stuff is removed. After this brush garment with || whisk broom. A, M.—About half the probable population of the world has been enumerateqd with relation to sex. About 50.8 per cent made, 49.7 per cent female, is the result of this count. Only in BDurope, among con- tinents, do the females outnumber the males, the proportion being: Female, 50.6 per cent; male, 49.4 per cent. In most parts of the world of which we have information the re- verse is true. The percentage of males in British India is 60.9; in the tributary States, 61.7; in Japan, 50.5. | In the United tSates, by the 1910 || census, there were 106 males to 109 females, the divisions of native, for- eign, etc. being as follows: Native —— cured by yeast.) ) | DEATHS sincerely thank friends and Card of Thanks.

In days gone by, mothing was more familiar than the year-end ‘money-squeeze,’ with fall- ing bank reserves and sometimes a deficit under legal requirements and with a consequent break in stocks.

Pending further information and the full text of the bill, traders were slow to express any opinion as to its possi- bilities, but the threat of legislative action evidently shock confidence in the stability of prices and there was a big break under heavy liquidation and Wall street selling. March sold off to 30.90c. and May to 30.46c shortly after the call, or 3 2to 64 points net lower. Tneasiness over the fuel situation may) have contributed to the early break, but the main factor was the uncertainty of proposed legislation, and the decline was checked by» active trade buying. This firmed the mar ket up late in the morning and there were sharp rallies. with March closing at 31.1% and May 30.83c. ‘The general list closed steady at a net decline of 8 to 28 Setisn spot quiet; middling uplands, otton futures closed steady; Jan., March 1.20c; 80.88c; July, Oct., $9, 882 | —_—_-e-—-_-— .

Developments in the river front district of North St. Louis promise to be on a broad scale. This district has disclosed pretentious plans for industrial and terminal projects. The most notable of the projects looks to the establishment, accord- ing to authentic sources, of a large shipbuilding plant. This contem- plates the construction of ships without the machinery. nea Railway at Twenty-ninth street, explained, can be towed down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, where it is proposed to install the machinery. The Frost-Johnson Lumber Co.. an important concern with offices in the Boatmen’s Bank Building, has obtained, in conjunction with the real “estate department of the Mer- cantile Trust Co. and the Heckman Réal Estate Co., of which W. L Heckman is president, options on the Schaefer tract, situated 623 feet north of Doddridge street and ex- tending from Broadway to the Miss- issippi River. The tract is bisected by the Burlington or M. K. & T. tract, west of which’ it is 600 feet wide and east of which it is 950 feet wide. It lies low, and at high stages of the river it is subject to overflow, according to real estate agents whu specialize in property in this section. Contrary to reports that it is to become the site of the heralded shipbuilding plant, it is announced that it has been selected for a lum- ber yard. The tract is considered one of the most eligible on the river front of the city for an enterprise of that mature. The former idea, however, apparently predominates. In a story in the Post-Dispatch last Sunday the writer inadvertently gave Dodier street, instead of Dodd- ridge street, in oe to this | tract. Attractive eee Center, Adjoining the Schaefer tract on the south are 30 acres owned by | Otto F. Stifel and which is held at $20,000 an acre. The roundhouse of the M., K. & T. Railroad is located on the south side of Doddridge street. ae railroad apd terminal advantages at Doddridge street are such as to attract industrial enterprises. It it understood that the pur- of the Liebke tract of 17 acres at Second and Bu- chanan streets, are negotiating for adjoining property on the north and which will give their purchaser a frontage on Dock street. to realty circles the purchasers of this tract, which lies on both sides from Second street:to the Mississippi River, have already had several) at- j tractive offers for their holdings. } As was announced, this tract has | been purchased as a site for 4 group of cold storage warehouses, with ter- minal facilities, to be erected by the North St. Louis Terminal Realty Co. and the Dock Street Realty Co.., jot which Harry H. wiggin of Bos- ton is the dominant figure.

T. H. Mull of Cedar Rapids, Io., has been in the city in quest of a site for a large fertilizer plant. He pre- fers one on the river front, in view of the barge line project, to revive traffic on the Mississippi River. The Chamber of Commerce also has re- cefved an inquiry from the similar body of Buffalo, N. Y., relative to obtaining a site for a concern which manufactures cottonseed oil and pea- nut oil. Interest in Coogan Property Sale. sale of property in the railroad dis- trict of North St. Creek Valley, west of Union Station, ito be made by John T. Mooney, ex- _ecutor, and J. H. Drucker, attorney for the estate of Kate Coogan. The list embraces four attractive parcels, including the northwest cor- ‘the southwest corner of Bulwer and Holly avenues, an eight-family build- ing, occupying a lot 15244x147 feet 8% inches in the 2200 block of Adams street, and three acres in East Kirkwood, adjoining the Mis- sourl Pacific tracks. Following the announcement of the sales in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, | Mooney and Drucker have been flooded with inquiries from pros- pective purchasers and from real es- tate agents. All the property has a potential | value far beyond its present intrinsic worth, owing to close relation with initial railroad lines and the Ter- minal, according to Frank Dubinsky of Goldwasser & Dubinsky. sensus of opinion among the real es- | | tate fraterity is that it wil eventu- | ally be sought by the railroads. The property in each instance is of liberal area and is situated at- tractively for factory purposes. ‘The Kirkwood tract will be sold at | the east door of the Clayton court-* house on Feb. 4, while the other three pleces will be sold at the St. Louis courthouse on Feb. 2. $15,000 BUILDING IS ERECTED AND FINISHED IN EIGHT DAYS Record-Breaking Construction Re- ported on Dressing Room Section of American Theater.

It is 58 feet yee by 33 feet wide, two stories in height, brick exterior walls, steel framing and joist construction. The structure consists of 14 dressing rooms, all of which are plastered and finished. An entire system of plumb- ing and sewering was installed for 30 fixtures, also steam heat and clec- tric wiring. The building, which was leased the Martin-Breitt Real Reece Go. Co. to the American Theatrical Co., will b /used in conjunction with the Amert-| ean Theater for dressing rooms an storing of scenery. Plans and specifications were pre- P d by Charles H.

A tenant, Haller says, has been ob- | tained for the hotel, and all indica- | tions are that the project will be aoa to a successful conclusion. he site is owned by the McDonald | cain story business buildings, and has a/! | frontage of 73 feet on Olive by a |depth along EHighteenth street of 109 _feet. It is regarded as one of the aes éligible sites for a hotel in this district. In Desirable Location. ; Many projects of this character have been proposed for this corner, which lies midway between the Washington avenue wholesale dis- trict and Union Station, and which thus occupies a highly desirable po- sition. As was announced recently, Pres- ton J. Bradshaw, architect,: has pre- pared plans for a seven-story loft building at the southwest corner of Seventeenth and Olive streets. Sev- eral of the floors of this building have been leased from the plans; and negotiations are pending for the remaining floors. Construction will not begin until all the space [nthe | building has been leased. > TWO BUSINESS PROPERTIES TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION WEDNESDAY " | bath Street Parcel Is Adjacent wo | Free Bridge, Other on Brink of + Mill Creek Valley.

Considerable construction work is under way or projected, and build- ing operations promise to be more active this year than last, though East St. Louis stood first in the Unit- ed States nearly all of last year among cities showing the largest per- centage of gain in building. “There has been a more or less unwarranted fear among investors and corporations about starting con- struction work,” said J. N. Fining, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, “on-account of the high cost of labor and materials. . Fortu- } | nately, this dread was but very little | apparent in East St. Louis, and now it has disappeared altogether. “It is a mistake to defer buflding projects because of high prices. There is every indication that the scales neyer will be as low again as formerly, and, considering existing conditions, it is obvious that costs will remain as high, or approximate- ly as high, for 10 years or so. “Costs undoubtedly will remain high throughout the War. And it is obvious that they cannot descend for seven or eight years after the war, for the post-war period will be de- voted to the rebuflding of practically all of continental Europe, with con- ' ’ tinued development in the United States. “If those who have postponed building work will consider that costs in this line are not as high as | other costs, or not any higher, and if | they will spread the building cost | over the investment capital through a term of years, in which earnings also will be large, they will find that the total construction cost will equal- ize low: There is no postponement in Bast St. Louis on account of. cost. This promises to be a year of great development.

The sheds and tracks will be built the tract. The concrete bumpers will be constructed on the west side of Eleventh street. Beautification of City. As a result of the city planning ex- hibition last week, the City Planning Committee of the Bast 8t. Louis Chamber of Commerce launched a lively movement for the beautifica- tion of the city. Steps will be taken at once for the organization of a city plan committee and the formulation of a comprehensive city plan. The movement is under the direction of the City Plan Committee, of which N..C,. McUean is chairman, and which includes M. V. Joyce, R. J. Kramer, R. R. Thomas and Charles B. Goed- de. about the development of at least two major thoroughfares immediate- ly, One running north and south, and another running east and west. It will also take up the matter of secur- ing several necessary playgrounds, small partks and bath houses. And it will give attention, at once, to the zoneing and housing problems. One of the principal objects contemplated right away is the construction of a plaza at the approach of the munici- pal bridge and the improvement of Tenth street, which connects with the bridge. Women of East St. Lous will co-operate with the committee en the Woman's Civic Federa- on, SHOE COMPANY TO HAVE NEW HOME ON WASHINGTON AVENUE |i: Vacant Lot at Fifteenth Street to Bc Improved With Structure on Strictly Modern Lines.

Mr. Coffin eventually became chief engineer of a great automobile factory and now is at the head of the board which is supplying the American army with airplanes. nr +e *& Some St. Louisans Who Have Risen.

This represented an advance over the salary he had received as stationery agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. His rise from this time was rapid and he was first president of the American Car and Foundry Co., which succeeded the Missouri company. % * & Richard 8S.

Johnson, lumber manufacturer, who is first vice president of the Frost-Johnson Lumber Co., was foreman in an Arkansas lumber mill 25 years ago. oo” ” Ae George M. Brown, head of the Certain-teed Products ° Co., was a Lieutenant in the United States army 25 years ago, having been graduated from West Point in the class of 1890. Two years later he married a daugh- ter of Judge and Mrs. Daniel D. Fisher of St. Louis ahd in 1893 resigned his military commission to en- gage in the manufacture of roofing materials. He formerly was president of the General Roofing Co. * * * William T. Hill, who has retired from the presidency of a large cash grain commission house with a fortune while still under 40 years of age, has had one of the most spectacular of St. Louis careers. He was a small boy 25 years ago and made no marked headway until possibly 10 years ago, when he cleared several hundred dollars in a market transaction with a $10 bill, to which a friend “staked” him. He has been ‘successful ever since. He was reputed to have made a million dollars in May wheat last year. He has in- vested largely in downtown realty, among it the site of the old Broadway home of the Post-Dispatch. h of Here is how some men of national and international fame have come up from small beginnings in the last 25 years: When Vanderlip Was a Reporter. Take Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank, the greatest financial institution in Amer- ica. The New Year finds him rich and powerful, de- voting his energies to his country at the patriotic mil- lionaire’s salary of $1 a year. Twenty-five years ago he was a reporter on a Chicago newspaper. earning considerably less than §25 a week. Cer- tainly, from a material standpoint, at least. Mir. Vanderlip is a big winner. Charlie Schwab Was Just a Draftsman. Take Charlies A: Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. There fs perhaps no one,who has been as lucky as he. Twenty-five vears ago. or thereabouts, he was a mere draftsman in the of- fice of a Pittsburg steel mill. Today his annua! income is written in seven figures. Thus it is not surprising that 1918 is beginning dif- ferent for Mr. Schwab than 1893. But, like Mr. Van- derlip, he is devoting his best efforts to winning the war. While Mr. Vanderlip is battling for the thrift cam-. paign and mobilizing our financial resources, <A(r. Schwab is turning out the big guns that will foree the Germans back to the Rhine. i tk % Henry P. Davison Was a Bank Clerk. Then there’s Henry P.- Davison, one of the partners of the firm of J. P. Morgan. A quarter of a century ago he was a mere bank clerk earning considerably less than $100 a month. To be sure he’s working for a dol- lar a year today—he is the active head of the American Red Cross—for his private fortune is estimated at many millions—all made in the last score of years. * zk ed “Abe” Erlanger Sold Tickets, Lee Shubert Ushered ’em In. The wheel of time has turned to the advantage of A. '.. Erlanger, who, with Lee Shubert in opposition, con- trols the leading theaters of the entire . country. Twenty-five years ago ‘““Abe” Erlanger was a box office man—a mere seller of pasteboards—in a Cleveland the- ater. Nineteen eighteen finds him the richest man in the amusement business in America. lee Shuberi. even less than a quarter of a century ago, was an usher in a Syracuse playhouse. He, too, has won millions playing the _ riskiest of frames. « ‘ * * Blackton Was an Office Moving picture million- aires are largely mythical. Many who were million- aires yesterday are compar- atively poor today. But it is interesting to know that J. Stuart Blackton, the best known local figure in the business end of the picture ‘ | game, was a $5-a-week of- fice boy 25 years ago. And Marcus Loew, who is @ “king” in his own particular field of low-priced entertainments, was not only out of.a job in 1893, but. was actually bankrupt. | * = * Frank Woolworth Owned One Little Store. In the realms of merchandising take Frank W. Woo)- worth, whose building is easily the greatest monument ever erected to glorify one man. A quarter of a cer tury ago Mr. Woolworth was running a little five and ten cent store in Lancaster, Pa. When it is remem- bered that his monument, which he built himself. cost $15,000,000, it will be seen that. time has not done badly by him. *% a ts Steel Trust President Was a Sales Manager. To chronicle the steel and oil men who have made millions out of nothing tn the last quarter of @ cen- tury would require more space than ts alloted here. One shining example, however, is J. J. Farrell, presi- dent of the U. §. Steel Corporation, which is better known as the “Steel Trust.” Twenty-five years ago Mr. Farrell was one of many sales managers of the Pittsburgh Wire Co. At that time he had only his galary. Today he is president of the greatest organi- gation of capital in the entire world and a millionaire many times over. : tt * ag Baruch Was Starting in Wall Street. Naturally there are many Wall Street figures who have’won fortunes in the whirligig of time. Bernard H. Baruch, to take one striking example, was a mere clerk in a brokerage office twenty-five years ago. To- day he is a multimillionaire and working for the United States Government for $1 a year. For years arney Baruch, as he is known to everyone “in the Street,” was regarded as its most daring speculator, but unlike many others, he played a winning game. SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ST.

A hundred yards away they encountered one of the clearing gangs coming in. It was Kwaque’s gang, but Sheldon looked in vain for him. | “What name that fella Kwaque he>-no stop along you?” he demanded. : A babel of voices attempted an answer. “Shut ‘m mouth belong you altogether,” Sheldon commanded. He spoke roughly, living up to the role of the white man who must always be strong and dominant. “Here, you fella Babatani, you talk ’m mouth belong you.” ‘Babatani stepped forward in all the pride of one singled out from among his fellows. “Gogoomy he finish along Kwaque altogether,” was Babatani’s explanation. run like hell.” ' In brief words, and with paucity of imagination, he described the murder, and Sheldon and Joan rode on. In the grass, where Joan had been attacked, they found the little shriveled man, still chattering and grimacing, whom Joan had ridden down. The mare had plunged on his ankle, completely crushing it, and a hundred yards’ crawl had convinced him of the futility of escape. To the last clearing gang, from the farthest edge of the plantation, was given the task of carrying him into the house. A mile further on, where the runaways’ trail led straight toward the bush, they encountered the body o? Kwaque. The head had been hacked off and was missing, and Sheldon took it on faith that the body was Kwaque’s. He had evidently put up a fight, for a bloody trail led away from the body. Once they were well into the thick bush, the horses had to be abandoned. Papehara was left in charge of the hile Joan and Sheldon and the remaining Tahitians pushed ahead on foot. The way led down through a swampy hollow, which was overfiowed by the Berande River on occasion, and where the red trail of the murderers was crossed by a crocodile trail. They had apparently caught the creature asleep in the sun and desisted long enough from their flight to hack him to pieces. Here the wounded man had sat down and waited until they were ready to go on. An hour later, following along a wild-pig trail, Sheldon suddenly halted. The bloody tracks had ceased. The Tahitians cast out in the bush on either side and a cry from Utami apprised them of a find. Joan waited till Sheldon came back. “Tt’s Mauko,” he said. “Kwaque did for him, and he crawled in thefe and died. That's two accounted for. There are ten more. Don’t you think yon've vot enough of it?” She nodded. “It isn’t very nice,’’ she said. for you with the horses.” ‘But you can’t go alone. Take two of the men.” “Then I'll go on,” she said. “It would be foolish to weaken the pursuit, and I am certainly not tired.” The trail bent to the right as though the runaways had changed their minds and headed for the Balesuna. But the trail still continued to bend to the right till i+ promised to make a loop, and the point of intersec- tion seemed to be the edge of the plantation where the horses had been ieft. Crossing one of the quiet jungle spaces, where naught moved but a. veivety, - 12-inch butterfly, they heard the sound of shots. “Bight,” Joan counted. “It was only one gun. It must be Papehara.” They hurried on, but when they reached the spot they were in. doubt. The two horses stood quietly tethered, and Papehara, squatted on his hams, was having @ peaceful smoke. Advancing toward him, Sheldon tripped on a body that lay in the grass, and as he saved himself from falling, his eyes lighted on a gecon@d. Joan recognized this one. It was Oosse, one of Gogoomy’s tribesmen, the one who had prom- ised to catch at sunset the pig that was to have baited the hook for Satan. “No luck, Missie,” was Papehara’s greeting, accom- “I'll go bach and wait panied by,@ disconsolate shake of the head. “Catch only two boy.

Before leaving he gave the attorney several stamped and addressed en- velopes which he advised him,to use in corresponding with the brother. The attorney wrote as promised and received a type- written reply on the stationery of the Toulon bank. In it was the information that Alton’s wife woald pur- chase her husband's share for $3000. Alton demurred at the price, but finally consented. A week later the lawyer found in his mail a heavy thick envelope containing a transfer deed and a cer- tified check on the First National Bank of Toulon for $3000, made in the attormey’s favor. Alton was called in and duly signed the transfer deed. “ft think I will heave this money on deposit at the bank,” Alton said. “If you don’t mind I'd like to have you go to the bank and identify me. This check is made out in your name and you will have to indorse it. I will then pay you your fees.” When the check had been deposited, Alton immedi- ately drew out $500 and handed the attorney $250. The next day, Alton again appeared at the bank and ex- plained to the cashier that he had closed a deal for the purchase of a house and would need some ready its face was stamped the word “forgery.” The police learned that a man of the name whici Alton had given was cashier of the Toulon bank, and that the forged check was WMentically the same as those issued by dank, but that the cashier had no sister and had never heard of John Alton. A de- tective who went to Toulon was told by the cashier that he dimly remembered a man answering Alton’ description buying a certified check for $5. It was learned also that a man giving the cashier's name had rented @ postoffice box. On his return the detective stopped in Chicago, and, dy the merest chance, learned in a conversation with the proprietor of his hotel that he (the proprietor) had received an envelope containing a stamped and ad- dressed letter and the following note to the hotel: “If Henry Burman, the party te whom this letter is addressed, is not stopping at your hotel when this is received, will you kindly drop the letter into a mai! box so it will be forwarded to the next address.” The detective thought he saw something familiar in the handwriting. He compared it with ‘that on the $2000 forged check and noticed a similarity. He ob- served also that the stamped envelope was addressed to a lawyer in another city. He went to that city and introduced himself to the lawyer.

Amazing revelations concerning al- leged enemy agent who kept boarding house near Naval Academy, where son is student, and admits commanicating with husband, attached to Prince Ruprecht’s staff, through Hol- land intermediary — Officer in American army, who gave code by which to inform her when transport sails for France, held for courtmartial—How a woman N the days before the war, fiction readers were regaled, not always to their convic- tion, with stories of beautiful women—it was the fashion then to give them Rus- sian nationality—who imgratiated them- selves with susceptible officers of other countries and wielded their wiles in or- der to extract tnilitary information from their in- fatuated dupes. “Thrilling but improbable,” we used to say regarding these political sirens, being then unenlightened by the Prussian system as to the depths to which secret agents would be willing to stoop. Now, according to information gathered and made public by Government officials, the United States has made its first acquaintance with the continental woman spy in the fascinating person of the “Baroness” Iona Wilhelmina Sutton Zollner, who has been..arrested and ordered held without bond in the jail at Chattanooga, on a charge of espionage, the penalty for which may be death. Although her present husband is a commoner, she still uses the title con- ferred on her by a previous marriage, with Baron Kurt von Loeffelholz Kolberg, whom she divorced several years ago. It is an amazing narrative told by United States Dis- trict Attorney-General W. T. Kennerly, who was in charge of the case and who conducted the sensational preliminary hearing after which the Baroness was committed to a cell. In the first place, according to Kennerly, her husband is Capt. William M. Zollner, a Bavarian attached to the staff of Prince Ruprecht on the western front. She admits having communicated with him many times, by tetter and cable, through a woman intermediary, Mrs. Paul Turstig of Arnheim, Holland. In the second place, there was found in her posses- sion a secret code by means of which Lieut. John W. Spaulding, a young officer in the United States Army, had promised, says Kennerly, to inform her of the time and place of his sailing for Europe. It can be imagined with what interest the German general staff would read precise information as to the sailing of an American troop transport, and how quickly the word would go to submarine commanders to sink her with all on board. Lieut. Spaulding was found hiding under the woman's bed in a hotel room in Chattanooga on the day of her arrest. He is under military confinement at Fort Ogiethorpe, and faces a courtmartial. The Baroness protested that their relations had been proper, but ad- mitted having paid his hotel bills and railroad fare on several trips together. She said they planned to marry as soon as she could divorce Capt. Zoliner. She caused a divorce suit to be filed against him in New York a few days after her apprehension, the ground being deser- tion. She alleges that Capt. Zollmer was arrested in England as an alien enemy at the beginning of the war, and obtained his release on his word of honor as an officer and a gentleman not to take up arms against England during the hostilities. At the first oppor- tunity, she relatea, he ebtained forged passports, made his way to a neutral country, and joined the German army. Not less startling was the revelation that for some time the Baroness kept a boarding house within haif a block of the gate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, which was frequented by naval officers and students, and by the women relatives who visited them at Anna- polis. And even more staggering is the fact that her son by her first marriage, Beresford Shope, 16 years old, is a student at the Naval Academy. * While there, it is said, she made no secret of the fact that her hus- band was an officer in the German army, and at times, though representing herself as an American citizen, SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 13, Dsemneiahtnnsetinmemenemenaaanne ” The Corer ay recent “the Annapolis ¢ Nation’s First Woman. Soy ‘“‘Baroness” born in New York, did not hesitate to express pro-Ger- man sentiments. . For instance, it was learned that’at a tea given in Annapolis, at a time when feeling was white-hot over the sinking of the Lusitania and other outrages, the Baroness took occasion to voice her disapproval of “the meddling attitude” of the United States. There- upon a cup of hot tea was thrown full in her face by Mrs. H. E. Harrell. The incident caused considerable scandal at the time. The Baroness is.described as being about 44 years old, but tall and striking in appearance, with a mass of auburn hair. Lieut. Spalding is 22 years old. He was a student at the Naval Academy for two and half years, but was asked to resign in February, 1917, because of debts he had contracted. He roomed at the Baroness Zollner’s lodging house, paying no board, it is stated. At the outbreak of the war she urged him to apply for a commission in the army, and aided in tutoring him for the examinations. He received a commission as Second Lieutenant, and was assigned to Fort Leaven- worth. The following sketch of the alleged spy’s ca- reer, obtained from her own admissions and from in- vestigation by Government agents, is supplied by Dis- trict Attorney Kennerly. She was born, according to her statement, in New York, the daughter of a man named Pickhardt, who was of German birth, but who, she declared, became a naturalized American citizen. She could not furnish in- formation as to when and where the naturalization papers were obtained. Her first husband was Charles W. Shope, a New York wine merchant. He died in 1902, leaving her with two sons. Some months later she went abroad, and resided in London, Paris, Berlin, Cologne, Franafort-am-Main, Naples, Rome and Singapore. In 1906 she was married to Baron von Kolberg, attached to the German Gen- eral Staff. They resided for two years in Berlin, where, according to the prisoner, she was presented to the Kaiser and Kaiserin at a court ball. On two occasions, she averred, nieces and nephews of the Kaiser, children of one of his sisters, were guests at birthday parties given for her children at the Von Kolberg residence. In 1907, she continued, at about the time when the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia was being used in an attempt to revive the loyalty of German-Americans to the fatherland, she came to the United States on the same ship which bore Adjutant-General A. Von Loven- feldt and a party of German officials, who were invited by Andrew Carnegie to attend .the dedication of the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburg. The Baroness admits having revised and edited the speeches which Von Lovenfeldt was to make in this country, telling him they were too ornate and flowery for American taste. She stated that she rendered simi- lar aid to him during three months in the United States, and returned to Germany with him on the same ship. Two years later, she said, she obtained a divorce lona Wilhelmina Sutton Zollner. took a trip to Washington, she paying all the bills. ‘enemy alien and the wife of a German officer.

They were married in New York and get out on a tour of the world. : They sailed from San Francisco in 1911 cor Honolulu and Japan, and then went. to Singa- pore, the great British naval station in the East Indies. Zollner purchased a rubber plan- tation near the naval base. He remained there, while his wife returned to Europe. When war was declared between Germany and France, Zollner was on a ship in the Mediterranean. He landed in London a day after England declared war on Germany, and was promptly imprisoned _ in the internment camp at Dorchester. The ~— Baroness says she implored the aid of English — officers of her acquaintance—among whom she- ~~ names Major-General Sir Alfred Turner—and =~ obtained her husband’s release, after he gave © bis parole not to serve in the German army during the war. His wife gave a similar pledge on his behalf, she says. Soon afterward they sailed in the steerage — for New York, where Zollner, obtaining stolen or forged passports representing him as an American citizen, returned to Germany and to the army. His wife learned through a cousin in New York, she says, of the underground rail- way by means of which she could communicate with Zollner through Mrs. Turstig in Holland. - The British Government seized the rubber — plantation at Singapore as well as other prop- erty in London. His wife at once filed her first suit to divorce Zollner, explaining that she hoped as an American citizen to obtain the restoration of the prop- erty through diplomatic channels. The suit was not pressed, and she filed a second one after her arrest. Regarding her acquaintance with Lieut. Spaulding, ~~ Kennerly says that after he was asked to resign from the Naval Academy, he did not return to his home in New Mexico, but stayed around Annapolis, and ob- tained a room at the lodging house kept by Baroness Zollner. Her guests consisted mostly of the mothers and sisters of midshipmen who visited them at the academy, and the wives and daughters of naval of- ficers. She told Kennerly, he states, that wherever she had been in the last 15 years her purpose was to form 3 intimate acquaintance with high naval and military of- —_—~ ficers, and members of their families. Among her guests at Annapolis, she said, were the wives of two Admirals. Last April, according to Kennerly, she and Spaulding In August they spent a month at Atlantic City, she also defraying the expenses. In the latter part of August and the first part of September, they were at the Con- | gress Hotel in Washington, near the Capitol grounds = =~ and the offi > building of the House of Representa- at tives, The Baroness again paid the’ bills. On Sept. 9 =~ Spaulding was assigned to Fort Leavenworth, and she gave him $60 to buy his railroad ticket. i. He in return gave her a letter, said Kennerly, stating ~~ that on two or three occasions she had been charged with being a German spy, but that the aecusation was false. She was a patriotic American citizen, the letter deciared. It was signed by Spaulding with his name and his rank in the army. “Spaulding also gave her a secret code,” continued Kennerly, “which was to be used by him in reporting to her at what time and from what port he would sail for France. This code was found among her papers, when she was arrested. It was all against the most stringent military regulations, which prohibit officers from giv- ing out military information even to their own fami- lies. “Spaulding admits that he knew the woman to be an He states that after she went to Chattanooga he spent every evening with her. It is known that she took advantage of the opportunity to visit Fort Oglethorpe on several half-days.’’ [n a letter to her son at Anna- polis, she wrote a minute description of one of these — visits, giving in detail the topographical condition of the surrounding country and the state of the roads. Spaulding stated, Kennerly says, that he was engaged te- marry the Baroness as soon as she obtained a di- vorce, and that she had promised to make him manager of the Singapore plantation whenever she got it back. The property is worth more than $100,000, he says she teld him. (Continued on Page 1}.) PAGE THREE 1918.

She was 26 years old, with a courageous and self-reliant face, if not a handsome one, when she was led into court to defend her life on the charge of murder. | The theory of the prosecution was that she expected to marry Keyes after his first wife divorced him, but became suspicious because he delayed. She learned his address, it was alleged, went to the house in Ken- more road, and there made the discovery that for the last 10 months, while he was amusing her with prom- Rogers stated that she saw Miss Varney in the. neigh- w days later, but prior to the day of the tragedy. It was also established by evidence that about this time—a few days before Mrs. Keyes’ death—Miss Var- : | house in Boston to find out whether Keyes had been divorced, and discovered that Mrs. Helen Keyes had obtained a decree in 1914, which became absolute a year later. Keyes testified that after his second marriage, to Miss Pauline Biesenbach, a stenographer in his office, he attempted to rid himself of Miss Varney, who, he declared, pursued and harried him with unwelcome demonstrations of affection and angry reproaches. The revolver was identified by a Providence sec- ond-hand dealer as one that he sold to a woman sev- eral months before the murder. Confronted with Miss Varney, he asserted he was “fairly sure’’ she was the one to whom the sale was made. His shop, it appeared, was only a short distance from the house in which she was living at the time. According to estimates made by physicians, it was at about 11 a. m. that Mrs. Keyes met her death. Keyes testified that an hour later Miss Varney tele- phoned to him, and that at 1 p. m. he met her in Roston Common and took her to lunch. The defense opened its case by presenting a noted handwriting expert, William E. Hingston of Boston, who caused a sensation by swearing that the handwrit- ing of the second note delivered by Keyes to the authorities—that in which an anonymous woman de- clared herself the guilty one—was in the chirography ee pe nena eae eS 0 Having searched the records at the Court- : herself by his name and announced to her sisters that of no other than Keyes himself. orously. Then Miss Varney, Sturdy in build, firm in bearing and thoroughly poised, took the stand. She admitted This he denied vig- her relations with Keyes, but said that she submitted . to him more out of terror than love. He had a mys- terious power over her, she declared, and kept her in subjection by threatening to tell her sisters they were not married. It had been she, instead of he, who tried to break off the affair, she averred, but he had hound- ed and importuned her as recently as two days before his wife's death. She admitted looking up the records of his divorce at the Courthouse, and also making inquiries con- cerning him in the neighborhood. Her motive, she said, was to get evidence with which to confront him concerning his falsehoods to her for several years. He had tried to convince her, she said; that he was still undivorced, and she was amazed to discover that he had not only been freed from his first marriage but had secretly contracted a second. She had an impulse, she said, to call upon Mrs. Pauline Keyes and tell her the entire story, but failed to find her at home. Miss Varney denied purchasing a revolver at the Providence shop, and said that the merchant’s iden- tification of her was preposterous. She was on duty in a hospital at the hour and day named, she asserted. The trial came to a sudden and startling end after Miss Varney had been cross-examined for only a short time. Prosecutor Katzmann called the attorneys for the defense aside and said that new evidence had come to his ears which he thought it his duty to put at their disposal. A name was called and a Boston pawnbroker teok the stand. By means of a number entered in one of his record books, the same number as that of the revolver which killed Mrs. Keyes, he identified the weapon as one he had sold about a year ago to a man. He was certain he could identify the man. Then In- spector Walker A. Smith of the Boston police force was sworn. He deposed that he was in the pawnshop at the time the revolver was sold, and took such par- ticular notice of the purchaser that he was certain he could identify him. Asked if the man was then in the courtroom, both witnesses replied in the affirma- tive, and pointed out the same man. He was Harold Jackson, a clerk in Keyes’ real estate office and his close personal friend. Keyes was re- called to the stand. He said he had often pledged property at the pawnbroker’s shop, buf denied knowl- edge of the revolver. Jackson also swore that the pawnbroker and the inspector were mistaken in their identification. Declaring that Keyes’ testimony was not worth the stigma put upon her son. ee ne -- ~ - ————- - oe credence, Katzmann virtually threw up the case. Miss Varney was acquitted after four hours’ deliberation by the jury. There the case remains, and perhaps the most mysti- fying feature is that of the note found after Mrs. Keyes’ death. It was in her own handwriting, with- out possibility of doubt. It does not, a closer reading shows, specifically state that she was about to take her own life, but that is obviously the first meaning one would get from reading it. If she was murdered, as the medical authorities are satisfied, why should she have written a suicide note? | Three theories are advanced for what they are worth. The first is that the murderer, at revolver point, dictated it to her and compelled her to write and sign it before killing her. The objection is that most women would be more likely to drop in a faint under such a menace instead of being able to write 4 legible message. The second is that the note was written some days earlier, Mrs. Keyes having discov- red her husband's relations with Miss Varney; that it was preserved instead of being destroyed; that she became reconciled with her husband; and that the mis- sive was resurrected by the murderer to give the crime the seeming of suicide. Still another suggeetion is that Mrs. Keyes, having determined to die, lacked the resolution to carry out the sentence upon herself and procured someone else to do the deed, which was accomplished after she had written the farewell note. the motive of which was pos- sibly to divert any suspicion that might fall upon her husband. —_ The German “Baroness,” the Nation’s First Woman Spy Prisoner. (Continued F'rom Page 3.) | Deputy United States Marshal John A. Jones, in whose care the prisoner was placed, says that she is a highly intelligent woman, speaking fluently English, French and German, but that on the day of her pre- liminary hearing she drank nearly a quart of whisky, given her by direction of a physician; took about 10 doses of aromatic spirits.of ammonia, and smoked cig- arette after cigarette. After the trial, she was placed in the hospital cell of the Hamilton County jail, with the privilege of using the corridors during the day, but confined at night in a cell. She protested her innocence vehemently, denying that she had ever transmitted information of military interest to Germany. She expressed confidence that a completer investigation would clear her, and said her chief sorrows were for the ruin of Lieut.

Dalton O'Sullivan and issued by the O'Sullivan Pub- lishing Co., Chicago. I: -ontains more than 60 really remarkabie detective stories. ARIE SMITH, a 9-year-old school girl, was murdered early in No- vember, 1914, in Asbury Park, N. J., as she was going from school to her home, nine blocs away. When last seen alive, on Wednesday, she was two blogks from bome. Her mutilated body was found on Saturday in a clump of brush. After four weeks’ work, local and county authori- ties were convinced that a negro was the guilty man, and an attempt even was made to lynch him, but pri- vate citizens were not satisfied and engaged the serv- © jces of Raymond C. Schindler, head of the Schindler National Detective Agency, New York. : Marie Smith was of a quiet nature, and would not talk to strangers, so it was assumed that she left the road with someone she knew. After several days, the agency had a list of 17 suspects, and the process of eliminating them, one by one, began. A short distance from her home, Marie passed the property of Max Krus’a, a florist. On the afterncon that the girl disappeared, Frank Heideman, the gar- dener. and a foreign servant were the only persons on the Kruska place. Efforts were made to get someone a positon with Kruska, so that Heideman could be watched. but they were unsuccessful. Heideman was a quiet. unassuming man, a hard worker, and spent most of his evenings”~at home, reading. There was absolutely no evidence to connect him with the crime, but he had been in the vicinity when the girl was last seen and was therefore ineinded in the list of suspects. Then was worked out the only feasible scheme by which Heideman could be tested. A dictograph had been placed in his room and the receiving end in «e shed on adjoining property. Asbury Park murder, the Grand Rapids jewelry store robbery, the mys- tery of the “poisoned pen,” and the clever swindling of a bank’s attorney ject should by accident take a seat at the same table. which eventually came about and the two started a conversation. The detective posed as “Carl,” a young German who was waiting for the estate of his parents to be settled, so that he could go West and start in business.. The two men became very friendly and Heideman was anxious to join his friend. Weeks went by, and despite every subterfuge, Heideman could not be tricked into talking of the murder. He was told that he talked in his sleep, but remained silent. Then ar- rangements were made with the ed- itor of a German paper to publish an article about the Asbury Park mur- der in which it was said that finger prints had been found which might have a bearing on the case and that the authorities were awaiting the re- turn of Heideman. The two men had been in the habit of reading the paper at the brea fast table, and when he saw this article P@pers « . Heideman became very much excited. “Carl” asked him why he did not return and clear him- self, but Heideman explained that he was a poor man, bad no relatives in this country, and that it was very easy to be falsely accused. He had decided, he said, not to return and was more than ever anxious to go West with “Carl.” The latter, to make his position even more secure, arranged with the cashier of a bank to discuss the supposed inheritance in Heideman’s pres- ence, Another test was decided upon. Arrangements were nade with a film theater to show on a certain night a picture depicting the assault and murder of a young woman, in which her body was thrown over a cliff. There were scenes in the picture which it was thought would bring Heideman’s crime home to him very forcibly. The two men had been visiting the theater regularly. It was arranged for a young woman operative to sit on Heideman’s right, while “Carl” sat on his left. When the picture-was shown the young woman became noticeably excited and Heideman caught the con- tagion. Before the picture was completed he com- plained of a headache and left the theater. For sev- eral days he was extremely nervous, lay awake at night and was so anxious to leave the city that.he and “Carl” finally went to Yonkers. The agency was now thoroughly convinced that Heideman was guilty, and arrangements were made for another test, in which “Carl” was to be made a Heideman A large, vicious dog was chained to a kennel near the house. Sach night at 1 o'clock an operator went to a point near the dog house and threw stones at the dog for an hour or more. Through the dictograph Heideman could be heard moving about and mut- tering. The supposition was that if he had been innocent he would have attempted to quiet the dog and get back to sleep as soon as possible, but he did not. The detectives were not surprised, therefore, when, 10 days later, Heideman ob- tained a month’s vacation. He was trailed to New York and watched night and day for over a week. An operator of German de- scent was detailed to go to the restaurant where Heide- man ate his meals and to al- ways be eating there when Heidemen arrived. This was to be continued until the sub- PAGE FOUR { / : an \ \ hn DAY as, W) 6 yl in “ Yai: 1 / “EL caut sell you these, but 1 know where you can get them,” the banqueler said, “I know two fellows, but there’s blood on them.” SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

The Italian drew a knife and was advancing upon “Carl” when the latter fired at him three times with a revolver. In falling, the Italian threw back his coat, displaying a large red stain on his shirt front. “Carl” hurriedly got into the buggy and drove away at breakneck speed. Within. four hours a newsboy passed the house where they were stopping, calling “Extra,” and on the front page was a three-column article giving all details of the ‘murder.’ This ’extra’”’ was issued with the connivance of the editor of the Yonkers Herald, and a dozen copies placed in the hands of the newsboy, who was an operative of the agency. The two men took the first train to Philadelphia. The fact that “Carl” was guilty of murder did not seem to worry Heideman much, but he kept advising his companion to get his money as soon as possible, so that they could leave the country. They moved to Atlantic City, and into a room previously selected, in which a dictograph had been placed. Then the agency wrote “Carl” a letter on the stationery of a steamship company, telling him that his money had been re- ceived and that a stateroom had been reserved for him on a steamer bound for Germany. One day when the two men were playing cards, “Carl” excused himself and left the room, leaving his coat hanging on the door knob in such a position that the letter and a steamship folder would be noticed by Heideman. Through the’ dictograph the latter could be heard rattling the papers and “Carl’’ was signaled to return to the room when Heideman was examining them. Heideman immediately accused him of planning to deceive him and of an fmtention to desert him. “Carl” at first denied it, then pretended to break down and confess that that was his plan, explaining that he had been driven nearly frantic by the thought that Heideman would betray him for the Yonkers “murder.”’ The long weeks of painstaking work came td an end suddenly. Heideman said: “You do not need to fear me, Carl. Iam in the same boat with you.” | He then went on to describe how he had seen the little girl pass the Kruska residence and had called her, asking her if she wished to take some flowers home to hes mother. She had known Heideman from seeing him around for years, and unhesitatingly took his hand and ‘walked with him into the woods. Within four months Heideman was electrocuted at Trenton, N.

OU would never in the world associate the name, “Topsy,” with a pink-and- white skin and an abundance of straight brown hair—so straight, fact, that its owner must put it up in curl papers to make it wave, and so abundant that there seem to be miles and miles of it wound round a shapely head. And you wouldn’t think of blue-gray eyes and long, curling lashes and white, well-kept hands. No you wouldn't.

Paul Townsend, a clerk, went forward to wait on the men. while Thomson and Edward Smith, another clerk, went on with their work. : Suddenly one of the men drew a revolver and leveled it at Town- send. The other covered Thom- son and Smith and the command “Hands up!”’ was given. Thomson made a move as if to grapple with the men and they be- gan firing. Thomson and Smith were killed instantly and Townsend was so badly wounded that he died three days later. The two men escaped, and, although rewards of $7000 were offered for them, they apparently had vanished for good and the murder was almost forgot- ten. But ‘the police of Grand Rapids were not idle. Early in 1914 De- tective John Halloran went to To- . ledo at the request of Chief of Po- lice Carr and mingled with the un- derworld in that city. He haunted “dives”’ and tough saloons. Ostensi- bly, he became a “stick-up guy.” He dressed the part, roughened his speech and carried the role nicely, meeting many habitues of the un- derworld. He hobnobbed with un- derworld women, “guns,” “dips” and ‘“prowlers.”’ One night a “banquet” was held in the rear of a cer- tain saloon. Thieves and their women were there. So was Halloran. He became chummy with one well- dressed individual who had two large diamonds. He admired the stones and flattered the owner and a proposition to buy one was made but turned down. “{ can't sell you these, but 1 know where you can get them,” the banqueter said. “I know two fellows, but there's blgod on them.” It was the information which Halloran had hoped acainst hope for months to hear. It was no easy task to worm it from the suspicious thief, but finally, on the promise that his name never would be revealed, he gave the names of “Chippy”’ Robinson and “Vopper” Lawrence. Tirelessly, and in more than a dozen states, Hallo- ran tracked his men. Lawrence he finally arrested in Covington, Ky., after the fugitive had engaged in a brawl. He kept on after Robinson and arrived in- Buffalo an hour after the quarty had left. He was apparentiv baffled here, and lost the scent, but he issued some circulars, and on June 19, 1914, after a fight in which a police inspector was killed, Robinson was captured in Boston. Before he could be brought to trial he killed himself in his cell. Lawrence was sentenced to serve seven and one-half years. Not the least interesting feature of this case is the fact that in a lonesome spot in Grand Rapids one night, Halloran and the man who had given him the tip in the Toledo dive had a meeting. The officer passed over to him $7000 in bills and the receipt for it, signed “The Guy,” is part of the records of the Treasurer of rrand Rapids. ‘ = 7% * “41S is the story of how one of the most mys- terious “poisoned pen” cases in the annals of American crime was solved after many months. - The discouragements were so many that at times it seemed that the mystery never would be cleared up, but the case finally was brought to a startling conclusion by means of a clew so slight that to a less persevering person it would not have been deemed worth while to follow up. In this case names are suppressed for obvious reasons, but the facts are vouched for. The wife of a wealthy lumberman in an Eastern state was the victim of a vicious anonymous letter writer. The letters were mostly of an endearing na- ture, asking for an appointment, and in addition to using the mails, the person employed the telephone. At length, the woman was on the verge of nervous prostration and she left town, but the letters followed her. At this point, the police having failed to run the writer down, her husband called in Edward H. Bryant of the Bryant Detective Service, Philadelphia. The letters were all in the same handwriting, and. apparently ‘there had been no attempt to disguise it. The stationery varied, always without water marks, but of good quality, and all letters had been mailed in the woman’s home town, in which there was but the one postoffice. Everyone who could possibly have known anything of the matter was examined and cross-examined—but without result. The family history was gone into, and every angle of possible enemies, rejected suitors and old sweethearts thoroughly covered. - The operative even visited the home towne of the man and his wife. ~ — — ~~ “ - —~ ? ing bought the paper for letterheads and.prescriptiom =~ blanks and. of having discarded a quantity of & when he had changed his office horrs and required new Sta- tionery.

It had pre- viously been noted by the detective that the anony- . ts nious letters written on this bond had this discolora- tion. The physician had an office in the building in which Sam was jenitor, and he also recalled that he had ordered Sam to clear all paner and other rubbish ou, of the laborztory and burn it. The problem now was rear a solution. In order to obtain a sample of the . negro’s wr.t'ng it was decided to place him under bonc.

The detective was nonplicssed at this, and put a shadow on Sam, with the result that he was seen to drop a letter in a box at 1 o’cleck in the morning. ‘The letter was recoverec, and it was another anonymcus missive, addrassed to ihe woman, but in a different hand than the one in which Sam had answered the questions in the bond. This letter had been written on a sheet water- marked “Old Berkshire Linen.” An operative reported that he had seen some wh'te paper protruding from Sam's inside coat pocket and a pickpocket was im- ported from Philadelphia to relieve him of the wallet which contained it. Three unused sheets of Berkshire linen were found in it. : The only thing that remained to do was to inspect Sam's living quarterg.

It's queer, the atmosphere here—in this house, in the streets, wherever one goes. They all seem to be in a condition of tension—-of intense, tightly strung wait- ing, very like that breathless expectancy in the’ last act of “Tristan” when Isolde’s ship is sighted and all the violins hang high up on to a shrill, intolerably eager note. There's a sort of fever. And the big words! I thought Germans were stolid, quiet people. But how they talk! And always in capital letters. They talk in tremendous capitals about what they call the deutsche Standpunkt; and the deutsche Stand- punkt is the most wonderful thing you ever came across. Butter would melt in its mouth. It is too great and good, almost, they give one.to understand, jor a world so far behind in high qualities to appre- tiate. No other people has anythtmg approaching it. As far as I can make out, stripped of its decorations its main idea is what Germans do is right and what other people do is wrong. Even when it is exactly the same thing. And also, that wrong becomes right directly it has anything to do with Germans. Not with a German. The individual German can and does com- mit every sort of wrong, just as other individuals do in other countries, and he gets punished for them with tremendous harshness; Kloster says with unfairness. But directly he is in the plural and becomes Wir Deutschen, as they are forever saying, his crimes be- come virtues. As a body he purifies, he has a purging quality. Today they were saying at breakfast that if a crime is big enough, if it is on a grand scale, it leaves off being a crime, for then it is a success, and success is always virtue --that is, I gather, if it is a German success; if it is a French one-ét is an out- vage. You mustn’t rob a widow, for instance, they said, because that is stupid; the result is small and you may be found out and be cut by your friends. But you may rob a great many widows and it will be a suecessful business deal. No one will say anything, because you have been clever and successful. i know this view is not altogether unknown in other countries, but they don't hold it deliberately as a whole nation. Among other things that Hilda Seeberg’s father did which roused her unforgiveness was just this—to rob too few widows, come to grief over it, and go bankrupt for very little. She told me about it in an outburst of dark confidence. Just talking of it made her eyes black with anger. It Was se terrible, she said, to smash for a small amount—-such an over- whelming shame for the Seeberg family, whose pov- erty thus became apparent and unhidable. If one sinashes, she said, one does it for millions, otherwise one doesn’t smash. There is something so chic about millions, she said, that whether you make them or whether you lose them you are equally well thought of and renowned. “But it is better to-—-well, disappoint few widows than many,” I suggested, picking my words. ‘For less than a million marks,’ she said, eyeing me sterniy, “it is a disgrace to fail.” They're fumny, aren't they. I'm greatly interested. PAGE S1X ——a They remind me more and more of what Kloster says they are, clever children. They have the unmoral quality of children. I listen—they treat me as if I were the audience, and they address themselves in a bunch to my corner—and [ put in one of my words now and then, generally with an unfortunate effect, for they talk even louder after that, and then pres- ' ently the men get up and put their heels together and make a stiff imclusive bow and disappear, and Frau Berg folds up her napkin and brushes the crumbs out of her creases and says, ‘Ja, ja,’ with a sigh, as a sort of final benediction on the departed conversation, and then rises slowly and locks up the sugar, and then down the passage and has a brief skirmish in the kitchen with Wanda, who daily tries to pretend there hadn’t been any pudding left over, and then treads heavily back again to her bedroom and shuts herself in till 4 o’clock for her Mittagsruhe; and the other boarders drift away one by one, and I run out for a walk to get unstiffened after having practiced all the morning, and as I walk I think over what they’ve been saying, and try to see things from their angle, and simply can’t. On Tuesdays and Fridays I have my lesson, and tell Kloster about them. He says they’re entirely typical of the great bulk of the nation. “Wir Deutschen,” he says, and laughs, “are the easiest people in the world to govern, because we are obedient and inflam- mable. We have that obedience of mind so convenient to authority, and we are inflammable because we are greedy. Any prospect held out to us of getting some- thing belonging tS) someone else sets us instantly alight. Dangle someone else’s sausage before our eyes and we will go anywhere after it. Wonderful mate- rial for S. M.” And he adds a few irreverences. Last Wednesday was his concert at the Phiihar- monie. He played like an angel. It was so strange, the fat, red, more than common-place-looking little bald man, with his quite expressionless face, his wil- fully stupid face, for [ believe he does it on purpose, that blankness, that bulgy look of one who never thinks and only eats, and then the heavenly music. It was as strange and arresting as that other mixture, that startling one of the men who sell flowers in the London streets and the flowers they sell: What does it look like, those poor ragged men shuffling along the curb, and in their arms, rubbing against their dirty shoulders, great baskets of beauty, baskets heaped up with charming aristocrats, gracious and del- icate purities of shape and color and scent. The strang- est effect of all is when they happen, round about Easter, to be selling only lilies, and the unearthly purity of the lilies shines on the passersby from close to the seller’s terrible face. Christ must often have looked like that, when he sat close up to Pharisees. But although Kloster’s music was certainly as beau- tiful as the lilies, he himself wasn’t like those tragic sellers. It was only that he was so very ordinary— a little man compact, apparently, of grossness, and the music he was making was so divine. It was that marvelous French and Russian stuff. 1 must play it to you, and play it to you, till you love it. It’s like nothing there has ever been.

I can’t tell you how kindly he greeted me, and with what charming little elucidatory comments he presented me to his wife and the other guests. He actually seemed proud of me. Think how I must have glowed. “This is Mees Chrees,” he said, taking my hand and leading me into the middie of the room. “I will not and can not embark on her family name, for it is one of those English names that a prudent man avoids. Nor does it matter. For in 19 years—nay, in five—all Europe will have learned it by heart.” There were about a dozen people, and we had beer and sandwiches and were very happy. Kloster sat eating sandwiches and staring benevolently at us all, more like an amiable and hospitable prawn than ever. You don’t know, little mother, how wonderful it is that he should say these praising things of me, for I’m told by other pupils that he is dreadfully severe and disagreeable if he doesn't think one is getting on. It was immensely kind of him to ask me to supper, for there was somebody there, a Grafin Koseritz, whose husband is in the ministry, and who is herself very in- fluential and violently interested in music. She pilis most of the strings at Bayreuth, Kloster says, more of them even than Fra’ Cosima now that she is old, and gets one into anything she likes if she thinks one is worth while. She was very amiable and gracious, and told me I must marry a German! Because, she said, all good music is by rights, by natural rights, the prop- erty of Germany. I wanted to say what about Debussy, and Rave! and Stravinski, but I didn’t. She said how much she enjoyed these informut evenings at Kloster’s, and that she had a daughier about my age who was devoted, too, to music, and a worshiper of Kloster’s. I asked if she was there, for there was a girl away in a corner, but she looked shocked, and said, “Oh, no:” and after a pause she said again, ‘‘Oh, no. One doesn’t bring one’s daughter here.” “But I'm a daughter,” I said—I admit tactlessly; and she skimmed away over that to things that sound- ed wise but weren't really, about violins and the tech- nique of fiddling. Not that I haven’t already felt it, the cleavage here in the classes; but this was my first experience of the real thing, the real junker lady—the Koseritzes are Prussians. She, being married and mature, can dab- ble if she likes in other sets, can come down as a bright patroness from another world and clear her feathers in a refreshing mud bath, as Kloster put it, commenting on his supper party at my lesson last Friday; but she would carefully keep her young daugh- ter out of it. They made me play after supper. Actually Kloster brought out his Strad and said I should play on that. It was evident he thought it important for me to play to these particular people, so though I was dreadfully taken aback and afraid ! was going to disgrace my master, I was so much touched by his kindness and care for my future that § obeyed without a word.

The Strad fascinated me. It seemed to be playing by itseif, singing to me, telling me stranze and beautiful secrets. I stood there just listening to it.

Think of your Chris, only the other day being put in a corner by you in just expiation of her offensiveness— it really feels as if it were yesterday—think of her being a new, or anything else, star!

NY ¢ r4 WONDER what has become of Tudor. It's two moaths since he disappeared into the bush and not a word of him after he left Binu.” Joan Lackland was sitting astride her horse by the bank of the Balesuna where the sweet corn had been planted, and Sheldon, who had come across from the house on foot, was leaning against her horse’s shoulder. . “Yes, it is a long time for no news to have trickled down,” he answered watch- ing her keenly from under his hat brim and wondering as to the measure of her anxiety for the adventurous gold hunter. “‘But Tudor will come out all right. He did a thing at the start I wouldn't have given him or any other man credit for-—-persuaded Binu Charley to go along with him. Ul wager no other Binu nigger has ever gone so far into the bush unless to be kai-kai'd. Tudor’—— “Look! Look!” Joan: cried in a low voice, pointing across the narrow stream -to a slack eddy, where a huge crocodile drifted like a log awash. “My, I wish I had my rifle.” The crocodile, leaving scarcely a ripple behind, sank down and disappeared. “A Binu man was in early this morning—for medi- cine,” Sheldon remarked. “It may have been that very brute that was responsible. A dozen of the Binu women were out, and the foremost one stepped right on 2 big crocodile. It was by the edge of the water, and he tumbled her over and got her by the leg. All the other women got hold of her and pulled. And in the tug of war she lost her leg. Below the knee, he said.

I hate them!”’ “And yet you go diving among sharks,’ Sheldon chided. “They're only fish sharks. And as long as there are plenty of fish there is no danger. It is only when they’re famished that they’re liable to take a bite.” Sheldon shuddered inwardly at the swift vision that arose of the dainty flesh of her in a shark’s many- toothed maw. . “[ wish you wouldn't, just the same,” he said slowly. “You acknowledge there is a risk.” “But that’s half the fun of it,” she cried. A trite platitude about his not caring to lose her was on his lips, but he refrained from uttering it. Another conclusion he had arrived at was that she ‘was not to be nagged. Continual, or even occasional, reminders of his feeling for her would constitute a tactical error of no mean dimensions. “Some for the book of verse, some for the simple life, and some for the shark’s belly,” he laughed grimly; then added: ‘Just the same; I wish I could swim as well as you. Maybe it would beget confidence such as you have.” . “Do you know, I think it would be nice to be mar- ried to a Man such as you seem to be becoming,” she remarked, with one of her abrupt changes that always As for astounded him. “I should think you could be trained: into a very good husband—you know, not one of the domineering kind, but one who considered his wife was just as much an individual as himself and just as much a free agent. Really, you know, I think you are improving.” She laughed and rode away, leaving him greatly cast down. If he had thought there had been one bit of coyness in her words, one feminine flutter, one womanly attempt at deliberate lure and encourage- ment, he would have been elated. But he knew abso- lutely that it was the boy, and not the woman, who had so daringly spoken. | Joan rode on among the avenues of young cocoanut palms, saw a hornbill, followed it in its erratic flights to the high forest on the edge of-the plantation, heard the cooing of wild pigeons and located them in the deeper woods, followed the fresh trail of a wild pig or a distance, circled back, and took the narrow path SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

The grass was waist high and higher, and as she rode along she remembered that Gogoomy was one of a gang of boys that had been detailed to the grass eutting. She came to where they had been at work, but saw no signs of them. Her unsnod horse made no sound on the soft, sandy footing, and a little farther on she heard voices proceeding from out of the grass. She reined in and listened. It was Gogoomy talking, and as she listened she gripped her bridle rein tightly and a wave of anger passed over. “Dog he stop ’m along house, night time he walk about,’ Gogoomy was saying, perforce in beche-de-mer English, because he was talking to others beside his own tribesmen. “You fella boy catch ‘m one fella pig,’ put ’m kai-kai belong him along big fella fish hook. S’pose dog he walk about catch ’m kai-kai, you fella boy catch ’m dog alle same one shark. Dog he finish close up. Big fella marster sleep along big fella house.

She spurred her horse into the grass, crying: “What name you fella boy, eh? What name?” They arose, scrambling and scattering, and to her surprise she saw there were a dozen of them. As she looked in their glowering faces and noted the heavy, two-foot, hacking cane knives in their hands, she became suddenly aware of the rashness of her act. If only she had had her revolver or a rifle, all would have been well. But she had carelessly ventured out unarmed, and she followed the glance of Gogoomy to her waist and saw the pleased flash in his eyes as he perceived the absence of the dreadful man-killing revolver. The first article in the Solomon Islands code for white men was never to show fear before a native, and Joan tried to carry off the situation in cavalier fashion. , “Too much talk along you fella boy,” she suid se- verely. “Too much talk, too little work, Savvee?” Gogoomy made no reply, but, apparently shifting weight, he slid one foot forward. The other boys, spread fanwise about her, were also sliding forward, the cruel cane knives in their hands advertising their intention. “You eut ’m grass!” she commanded impefatively. —_o *Paddle. of one leg he wore, as a garter, a single string of white beads. The effect was dandyish in the extreme. A narrow gee-string completed his costume. man she saw, old and shriveled, with puckered fore- head and a puckered face that trembled and worked with animal passion as in the past she had noticed the faces of monkeys tremble and work. “Gogoomy,” she said sharply, “you no cut 'm grasa, my word, I bang ’m head belong you.” His expression became a trifle more disdainful, but he did not answer. Instead, he stole a glance to right and left. to mark how his fellows were closing about her. At the same moment he casually slipped his foot forward through the grass for a matter of several inches. Joan was keenly aware of the desperateness of the situation. The only way out was through. She lifted her riding whip threateningly, and at the same moment drove in both spurs with her heels, rushing the startled horse straight at Gogoomy. It all happened in an instant. Every cane knife was lifted, and every boy save Gogoomy leaped for her. He swerved aside to avoid the horse, at the same time swinging his cane- knife in a slicing blow that would have cut her in twain. She leaned forward under the flying steel, which cut through her riding skirt, through the edge of the saddle, through the saddle cloth, and even slightly into the horse itself. Her right hand, still raised, came down, the thin whip whishing through the air. She saw the white, cooked mark of the weal clear across the sullen, handsome face, and still what was practically in the same instant she saw the man with the puckered face, over-ridden, go down before™ her, and she heard his snarling and grimacing chat- ter—for all the world like an angry monkey. Then she was free and away, heading the horse at top speed for the house. : Out of her sea training she was able to apprecia Sheldon’s executiveness when she burst in on him with her news. Springing from the steamer chair in which he had been lounging while waiting for break- fast, he clapped his hands for the house boys; and, while listening to her, he was buckling on his car- tridge belt and running the mechanism of his auto- matic pistol. “Ornfiri,” he snapped out his orders, “you fella ring big fella bell strong fella plenty. You finish 'm bell, you put ’m saddle on horse. Viaburi, you go quick house belong Seelee he stop, tell *m plenty black fella run away—ten fella two fella black fella boy.” He scribbled a note and handed it to Lalaperu. “Lalaperu, you go quick house belong white fella marster Bou- cher.” . ‘That will head them back from the coast on both sides,” he explained to Joan. “And old Seelee will turn his whole village loose on their track as well.” In response to the summons of the big bell, Joan's Tahitians were the first to arrive, by their glistening bodies and panting chests showing that they had run all the way. Some of the farthest placed gangs would be nearly an hour in arriving. Sheldon proceeded to arm Joan’s sailors and dea! out ammunition and handcuffs. Adamu Adam, with loade@ (Continued on Page 15.)

He Was pleased, too, and said some encouraging and de- lightful~things. The junker lady was very kind, and asked me to lunch with her, and I’m going tomorrow. The young man who played the accompaniment bowed, clicked his heels together, caught up my hand and kissed it. He didn't say anything. Kloster says he ig passionately devoted to music, and so good at it that he would easily have made a first-class musician if he hadn't happened to have been born a junker, and therefore he has to be an officer. It’s a tragedy, apparently, for Kloster says he hates soldiering, and is ill if he is kept away long from music. He went away seon-after that. : Graefin Koseritz braught me back in her car and dropped me at Fran Berg’s on her way home.

It is only half an hour away in the train, and is full of woods and stretches of water, as well as palaces. Palaces weren't the mood | was in. | wanted to walk and walk, and get some of the pavement stiffness out of my legs, and when | was tired sit down under a tree and eat the bread and chocolate I took with me and stare at the sky through leaves.

I didn’t speak to a soul dll day, and found a place up behind Sans Souci on the edge of a wood looking out over a ryefield to an old windmill, and there | sat for hours; and after I had finished remem- bering what | could of the Scholar Gypsy, which is what one generally does when. one sits in summer on the edge of a cornfield, | sorted out my thoughts. They've been getting confused lately in the rush of work day after day, as confused as the drawer I keep my gloves and ribbons in, thrusting them in as | take them off and never having time to tidy. Life tears along, and I have hardly time to look at my tréasures. ('m going to look at them and count them up on Sun- days.

No wonder I went away from it this morning to go out and look for June in the woods. The woods were a little thin and austere, for there has been no rain lately, but how enchanting after the barren dustinessa of my Berlin street! I did love it so. And I felt so free and glorious, coming off on my own fer my hard-earned Sunday outing, just like any other young man. The train going down was full of officers, and the) al! looked very smart and efficient and* satisfied with themselves and life. In my compartment they were talking together eagerly all the way, talking shop with unaffected appetite, as though shop were so interest- ing that even on Sundays they couldn't let it be, and poring together over maps. No trace of stolidity. Rut where is this stolidity one hag heard about? Com- pared to the Germans I've seen, it is we who are stolid; stolid and slow and bored. The last thing these people are is bored. On the contrary, the officers had that same excitement about them, that same strung-upness, that the men boarders at Frau Berg’s have. Potsdam is charming and swarms with palaces and parks, If it hadn't been woods I was after I would have explored it with great interest. Do you remember when you read Cariyle’s Frederick to me that winter vou were trying to persuade me to learn to sew? And, bribing me to sew, you read aloud? I didn't learn to sew, but I did learn a great deal about Potsdam and Hohenzollerns, and some Sunday when it isn’t quite ao fine I shal! go down and visit Sans Souci, and creep SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ST. LOUIS POST-DISRATCH- back into the past again. But today | didn’t want walls apd roofs, I wanted just to walk and walk. It was very crowded in the train coming back, full of people who had been out for the day, and weary little chil- dren were crying, and we all sat heaped up anyhow. I Know I clutched two babies on my lap, and that they showed every sign of having no self-control. They weren't very sweet, though, and [| wouldn't have mind- ed it a bit if I had had lots of skirts; but when you have only two! Wanda was very kind, and brought me some secret coffee and bread and butter to my room when I told her | had walked at least 10 miles and was too tired to go into supper. She cried out “Herr Je!"’—which I'm afraid is short for Lord Jesus, and is an exclama- tion dear to her --and seized the coffee pot at once and started heating it up. | remember afterwards that German miles are three times the size of English ones, so no wonder she said Herr Je. But- just think: I haven't seen a single boarder for a whole day. I! do feel so much refreshed. You know I told you in my last letter 1 was going to lunch with the Koseritzes on Monday, and so I did, and the chief thing that happened there was that I was shy. Imagine it. So shy that I blushed and dropped things. For years | haven't thought of what I looked like when I'Ve been with other people, be- cause for years other people nave been so absorbingly interesting that I forgot I was there, too; but at the Koseritzes I suddenly found myself remembering, greatly to my horror, that I have a face, and that parts of it are—well, [ don't like them. Ang I re- membered fhat my hair had been done in a hurry, and that the fingers on my left hand have four hard lumps on their tips where they press the strings of my fiddle, and that they're very ugly, but then one can't have things both ways, can one. Also I became aware of my clothes, and we know how fatal that is when they are weak clothes like mine, don’t we, little mother? You used to exhort me to put them on with care and concentration, and then leave them to God. Such sound advice! And I've followed it so long that 1 do completely forget them; but last Monday I didn't. They were urged on my notice by Graefin Koseritz’s daughter, whose eyes ran over me from head to foot and then back again when [| came in. She was the neatest thing-—aus dem Ei gegossen, as they express perfect correctness of appearance. [{ suddenly knew, what | have always suspected, that I was blowsy-— blowsy and loose-jointed, with legs that are too long and not the right sort of feet. I hated my, Beethoven- kopf and all its hair. I wanted to have less hair, and for it to be drawn neatly high off my face and brushed and waved in beautiful regular lines. And | wanted a spotless lacy blouse, and a string of pearls round my throat, and a perfectly made blue serge skirt without mud on it—it was raining and | had walked. Do you know what I felt like? A good-natured thing. The sort of creature people say generous about afterwards, “Oh, but she’B’so good-natured.” Graefin Koseritz was terribly kind to me, and that made me shyer than ever, for | knew she was trying to put me at my ease, and you can imagine how shy that made me. I! blushed and dropped things, and the more | blushed and dropped things the kinder sche was. And all the time my contemporary, Helena, looked at me with the same calm eyes. She has a completely emotionless face. I saw no trace of a passion for music er for-anything else in it. She made no approaches of uny sert te me, she just calmly looked at me. Her mother talked with the extreme vivacity of the hosteas who has a difficult party on hand. There was a silent governess between two children, junkerlets still in the schoolroom, who stared uninterruptedly at me and seemed unsuccessfully endeavoring to place me; there was a young lady cousin who talked during the whole meal in an undertone to Helena: and there was Graf Koseritz, an abstracted man who came in .late, mut- tered something vague on being introduced to me and told I was a new genius Kloster had unearthed, sat down to his meal from which he did not look up again, and was monosyllabic when his wife tried to draw him in and make the conversation appear general. _ And all the time, while lending an ear to her cousin's murmur of talk, Helena’s calm eyes lingered on one portion after another of your poor vulnerable Chris, Actually I found myself hoping hotly that I hadn't forgotten to wash my ears that morning in the melee of getting up. I have to wash myself in bits, one at a time, because at Frau Berg's I'm only given a very small tin tub, the bath being used for keeping extra bedding in. It is difficult and distracting, and some- times one forgets little things like ears, little extra tnings like that) and when Helena's calm eyes, which appeared to have no sort of flicker in them, or hesita- tion, or blink, settled on one of my ears and hung there motionless, I became so much unnerved that I upset the spoon out of the whipped«ream dish that was just being served te me, on to the fioor. It was a parquet floor, and the spoon made such a noise, and the cream made such a mess. I was so wretched, because I had already upset a pepper thing earlier in the meal, and spilt some water.

Only the Graf sat mute, his eyes fixed on the tablecloth. “My busband is dying to hear you wiay,” said the, Graefin, when he got up presently to go back to his werk. “Absolutely dying,” she said, recklessly pad- ding out the leanness of his very bald good-by to me. tek He said nothing even to that.

Kloster says he would have been @ really great player, but being a junker settles him for- ever. It is tragic to be forced out of one’s natural bent, and he says he hates soldiering. People in the street were very polite and made way for me be- cause I was with an officer. I wasn’t pushed off the pavement once. Good-night, my own mother. I've had a happy week.

Nor was there any awkwardness between them. They were a8 frank and friendly in their relations as ever. He had wondered if his belligerent love declaration might have aroused some womanly self-consciousness in Joan, but he looked in vain for any sign of it. While he devoted more and more of his time to the plantation itself, she took over the house and its multitudinous affairs, and she took hold firmly, in sailor fashion, revolutionizing dghe system and dis- eipline. The labor situation on Berande was improv- ing. The Martha had carried away 50 of the blacks whose time waa up, and they had been among the worst on the plantation five-year men recruited by lilly-Be-Blowed, men who had gone through the old days of terrorism when the original owners of Berande had been driven away. The new recruits, being broken in under the new regime, gave better promise. had joined with Sheyjon from the start in the pro- gram that they must be gripped with the strong hand und at the same time be treated with absolute justice. if they were to escape being contaminated by the older boys that still remained. “I think it would be a good idea to put all the gangs nt work close to the house this afternoon,” she an- nounced one day at breakfast. “I've cleaned up the house, and you ought to clean up the barracks. There is too much stealing going on.” “A good idea,” Sheldon agreed. should be searched. shirts and my best tooth brush is gone.” “And two bexes of my cartridges,” she added, say nothing of handkerchiefs, towels, sheeta, and my best palr of slippers. But what they want with your tooth brush te more than | can tmagine. They'll be siealing the billlard balls next.” “One did disappear a few weeks before you came, Sheidon laughed. “We'll search the boxes this afte: noon.” And a busy afternoon it was. Joan and Sheldon. both armed, went through the barracks, house 5y house, the bess boys assisting, and half a dozen mes sengers, im relay, shouting along the line the names of the boys wanted. Bach boy brought the key te his particular box, and was permitted to look on while the contents were overhauled by the boss-boys. A wealth ef loot was recovered, There were fully a dozen cane kaivee-—Ddig hacking weapons, with rasor edges, capable of decapitating a man at a stroke. ‘Towels, sheets, shirts, and slippers, aloug with teoth- brushes, wisp brooma, soap, the missing billiard ball, and all the leat, forgotten trifles of many months came to light. But most astonishing was the quantity of ammunition—cartridges for Lee-Metfords, for Win- chestera and Marlins, for revolvers from thirty-two ealiber to forty-five, shotgun cartridges, Joan's two boxes of thirty-eight, cartridges of prodigious bore for the ancient Saidera of Malaita, flaska of black powder, sticks of dynamite, yards of fuse and boxes of detonatersa. But the great find was in the house occupied by Gogoomy and five Port Adams recruits. The fact that the boxes yielded nothing excited Shel- don’s suspiciona, and he gave ordera to dig up the earthen floor. Wrapped in matting, well oiled, free from rust, and brand new, two Winchesters were first unearthed. Sheldon did not recognise them. They had not come from Berande; neither had the forty flasks of black powder found under the corner post of the house; and, while he could not be sure, he could “Their boxes remember no loss of eight boxes of detonators. A big - Colt's revolver he recognised as Hughie Drummond's, while Joan identified a thirty-two Iver @& Johnson as a losa reported by Matapau the firet week he lande:i at Berande. The absence of any cartridges made Sheldon persist in the digging up of the floor, and a 50-pound flour tin was his reward. With giowering eyes Gogeomy looked on while Sheldon took from the tin a hundred rounds each for the two Winchesters and fully as many rounds more of nondescript cart. ridges of ali sorts and makes and calibers. The contraband and stolen property waa piled in assorted heaps on the back veranda A few paces from the bottom of the forty-odd culprits, with behind them, im solid array, the several hundred blacks At the head of the steps Joan seated, while on the steps PACE le of and were stood the gang-bosses. One Joan.. might I've just missed a couple of by one the culprits were called up and examined. Nothing definite could be extracted from them. They lied transparently, but persistently, and when caught in one lie explained it away with half a dozen others. One boy complacently announced that he had found eleven sticks of dynamite on the beach. Matapuu’s revolver, found in the box of one Kapu, was explained . away by that boy as having been given to him by Lervumie. Lervumie, called forth to testify, said he had got it from Noni; Noni had got it from Sulef toi; Sulefatoi from Choka; Choka from Ngava; and Neava completed the circle by stating that it had been given him by Kapu. Kapu, thus doubly damned, calmly gave full detaila of how it had been given to him by Ler- vumie; and Lervumie, with equal wealth of detail, told. how he had received it from Noni; and from Noni to Sulefatoi it went on around the circle again. Divers articles were traced indubitably to the house- boys, each of whem steadfastly proclaimed his own innocence and cast doubts on his fellows. The boy with the billiard bal! said that he had never seen it in his life before, and hazarded the suggestion that it had got into his box through some mysterious and oceultly evil agency. So far as he was concerned it have dropped down from heaven for al! he knew how it got there. To the cooks and boat's crews oY every vessel that had dropped anchor off Berande in the past several years were ascribed the arrival of scores of the stolen articles and of the major portion of the ammunition, There was no tracing the truth in any of it, though it was without doubt that the un- identified weapons and unfamiliar cartridges had come ashore off of visiting craft. “Look at it,” Shelden said to sleeping over a volcano. They ought to be whipped"— “No whip me,” Gogoomy cried out from below. “Father belong me big fella chief. Me whip. too much trouble along you, close up, my word.” “What name you fella Gegoomy!" Sheldon shouted. “!t Kneck seven hells out of you. Here, vou Hwaque, put ‘m irons along that fella Gogoomy.”’ Kwa ‘te, & STPAlUIe gzang-boss., Joan. “We've been plucked Cogzoomy from out of his following, and, helped by the other gang bosses, twisted his arms behind him and snapped on the heavy handcuffs. “Me finish along you, close up, you die altogether,” Gogoomy, with wrath-distorted face, threatened the boss-boy. “Please, no whipping,” Joan said in a low voice. “If whipping is mecessary, send them to Tulagi and let the Government do it. Give them their choice between a fine or an official whipping.” Sheldon nodded and stood up, facing the blacks “Manonmie,” he called. Manonmie stood ferth and waited. “You fella boy bad fella too much,” Sheldon charged. “You steal 'm plenty. You Steal 'm one fella towel, one fella cane-knife, two-ten fella cartridge. My word, plenty bad fella steal 'm you. Me cross along you too much. S'pose, you like 'm, me take 'm one fella pound along you in big book. S'’pose you no like ‘m, me tuke ‘m one fella pound, then me send you fella along Tulagi catch ‘m one strong fella government whipping. Pienty New Georgia boys, plenty Ysabel boys sto, along jail along Tulagi. Them fella no like Malaita beys little bit. My word, they give 'm you strong felia Ww hipping. What you say?” “You take 'm one fella pound along me,’ answer. And Manonmie, patently relieved, stepped back, while Sheldon entered the fine in the plantation labor journal. | Boy after boy, he called the offenders out and gave them their choice, and boy by boy each one elected to pay the fine imposed. Some fines were as low as sev- eral shillings, while in the more serious cases, such as thefts of guns and ammunition, the fines were cor- respondingly heavy. Gogoomy and his five tribesmen were fined three pounds each, and, at Gogoomy's guttural command, tuey refused to pay. “S’pose you go along Tulagi,’ Sheldon warned him; “vou catch 'm strong fella whipping and you stop along jail three fella year. Mr. Burnett, he look 'm along Win- chester, look 'm along cartridge, look 'm along revolver, look 'm along black powder, look ‘m along dynamite was the a my word, he cross too much, he given you three fella y o o ! year along jail. S’pose you no like ‘m pay three fella Boe ae pound you stop along jail.
