NEW ANTI-U-BOAT SHELL EXPLODES IN WATER ON CONTACT Missile Dives When It Hits Sur- face and Is Set Off When It Strikes Solid Object. WASHINGTON, Aan. 22 (By A. P.). — The ‘“nonricochet’’ shell, a weapon as deadly as the depth charge, is the newest device perfect - ed by the navy ordnance experts for use against German submarines. The new shell dives when it strikes the surface of the water instead _of bouncing as do the ordinary missiles used in either naval or coast defense artillery. The charge can be made to explode on contact with a solid | surface under the water or at a pre- determined depth. The value of the latest anti-submarine weapon lies in the fact that shots which fall slightly short will be of as much effect as those which register direct hits. The Navy Department has forbid- den the publication of details of the invention, but it is known that the. British and French Admiralties also have adopted it. SEVEN STREET CAR LINES GET COKE FOR HEATING First Consignment of 150 Tons Is Al- lotted; Burning of Soft Coal Unsatisfactory. The United Railways Co. has ob- tained 150 tons of coke, for use in heating street cars, and has allotted it to the Park, Jefferson, Broadway, Cass, Lee, Wellston and Bellefontaine lines. Another expected consign- ment will be used on the Olive line. The company has been burning soft coal this season, because the Government has ordered that metal- lurgical districts shall have first call on coke. The coke just obtained costs $10 to $11 a ton, or more than twice last year’s price. The use of soft coal has caused complaints from passengers and has been said to contribute to the smoke nuisance iri the city. The heaters are not well adapted to soft coal. PERSHING REPORTS DEATH OF CORPORAL IN ACTION No Details Given of Engagement Jan. 20, in Which Infantryman Was Killed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (By A. P.). GOAL DIVERSION TO CHICAGO EXPECTED Ib Hf ST. LOUIS Order Directs 10 Per Cent From + Southern Illinois Fields to | Lake City. COMPLAINTS — CLOSING Union Station Lunch Room Re- ported Open All Night; Mov- ies Dark Again Today. Reduction of the St. Louis coal supply is expected to result from the order. of Fuel Administrator Wil- liams, of Illinois, directing that 10 per cent of the output of the larger mines in the Southern Illinois fields, near St. Louis, be shipped to Chicago. Members: of the St. Louis Fuel Committee hope that the effect of this order will be overcome by im- proved transportation and increased production at the mines. The evident purpose of the diver- sion order is to increase the coal sup- ply of Chicago at the expense of St. Louis and Missouri. There is no question that Chicago needs coal. State Fuel Administrator Crossley of Missouri said yesterday in Kan- sas City, however, that there has been a great deal of St. Louis coal diverted to Chicago in advance of the order. 1 Diversion Order Qualified. P. H. Greenlaw, secretary of the Fifth and Ninth District Coal Bu- reau, said that the order for the 10 per cent diversion to Chicago applied only to mines of more than 500 tons daily capacity, which are customary) shippers to Chicago, and that it was further qualified by the exemption of railroad and public utility con- tracts in the St. Louis district, so that, while it was not possible to give an approximation of the tonnage that would be diverted, he did not think it would be enough to greatly affect the St. Louis supply. Most of the coal received in St. Louis comes from the fifth and ninth mine districts of Illinois, within 100 to 125 miles of this city. Crossley favors a plan for the or- Gen.

P.).— Representatives of the New England shoe trade will confer with members of the Commercial Economy Board in New York tomorrow regarding further changes in styles for wom- en's shoes for fall wear with a view to conserving leather. Although the board recommended a maximum 9-inch height in women’s boots, the shoe men stood/out for 8% inches and accepted the suggestion that colors be limited and ‘unnecessary embellishments eliminated. Aside from the standard black, without patent leather novelty col- ors more or less in vogue, the plan now is te have tans and grays, with two shades of each. While there will be light and dark tans, dealers said the selection of grays is more difficult because of the problem of having tanners produce colors that come nearest the standard specified by the board. At conferences here dealers agreed that cloth tops would be popular, as this method of manu- facture would result in a great sav- ing “g leather. RS Wheat Shortage Reported. OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 22 (By A. P.). — A dispatch received by Reu- ters Agency from. Adelaide says South Australia’s wheat crop this year is estimated at 26,500,000 bush- els, or 18,600,000 bushels below the crop of last year. A smaller area was sown and the weather was zones, each to be administered as a unit by one distributor. Under this plan, Missouri would be included, in the zohe with Iowa, Arkansas, Ne- braska, Kansas and Oklahoma. Reports of Violations.

He who wishes to tear away Poland, Courland, Lithuania, Esthonia and Livonia from the Russian empire makes of this empire a mortal enemy, for Russia will not always have Leninistic feelings.

ALL WED SINCE MAY 18 10 BE CANDIDATES FOR CLASS ONE Chance for Deferred Classification Lies in Proof Marriage Was Not Entered Into the Evade Draft. Chairman Spencer of the District Appeals Board said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that all regis- trants married since May 18 last, would be placed in Class 1 of the draft unless they could submit proof that their marriage was not entered into in an effort to avoid early serv- ice in the national army. Local boards have been lenient toward men who were wed recently, and it esti- mated that more than a hundred of these have obtained deferred classi- fication on the ground of dependent wives. Provost Marshal Crowder last week issued instructions to the Gov- ernment lawyers in the various local boards to appeal all all jae men married since May 18 who have ob- tained classification other than in the first division. It was explained at the time that the purpose was to “TOWN HAS WOOD CHOPPING DAY Mrs. Alice Tamme Was Hit in Front ‘secure uniformity throughout the country and to avoid doing an in- e to the men now in canton- ments whose marriages were ignored by the boards last fall. MAN BORN IN GERMANY 7 ADVISED HE IS AMERICAN Ruling by Department or Justice on Case of Walter Sprung, Who Wants to Work in Navyyard. Walter Sprung, 22 years old, a car- penter of Ferguson, St. Louis Coun- ty, who had been rejected for Gov- ernment service because he was born in Germany, the sof of a Lieutenant in the German army, has been ‘ad- vised by the Department of Justice that he is an American citizen, be- cause he was a minor when his step- father, Charles Ruane, married his mother. Sprung desires to work in a navy yard. Mrs. Ruane, his mother, had pre- pared to send a letter to President Wilson asking that her son be al- lowed to serve, but the ruling by the Department of Justice made it un- necessary. She came to this country 20 years ago, after the death of her firs thusband. She says an estate of $46,000, left in 1914 by her father, a native of Prussia, was confiscated. by the German Government.

Is Junior Partner; Ex- change of Views Would Be.Nec- essary, Says Cabinet Member. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—A mem- ber of the Cabinet, discussing the oposal of the Senate Committee on ilitary Affairs to create a supreme war council of three men, said: The simple fact is that some men on Capitol Hill want things done in too big a hurry. They apparently have not come to realize that it re- quires time to expand production and personnel many times over. “If they could find three super- men for the proposed war council, I would be for it. But the Senators are asking what only God Almighty can do, They say they want @ man or three men who can decide all questions right off the reel. As a matter of fact, that is impossible. ‘For example, suppose the Presi- dent had a war council of the kind proposed. Unless its members knew thoroughly the business of the War and Navy Departments and other vitally important branches, they would have to spend a lot of time studying them. “Apparently the idea is to have a sort of supreme board of strategy. As a matter of fact, the United States is not running this war alone. We really are the junior partners in it up to date. Our part will become more important as the war pro- gresses. In time, we may become the senior partner. We are furnish- ing much material and foodstuffs to the allies. Views of Allies N But we cannot sit down here and plan among ourselves what we shall do, for example, in the way of naval operations. We must consult with our allies before we can take a sin- gle step, and. an inter-allied naval council was created for this purpose. Of course, we can determine what' we would like to do and can make suggestions, but we are not free to carry them out. Our allies have more ships and more men than we have, and it is idle talk about our making, instant decisions on vital questions concerning this prosecution of the war. There must be exchanges of views with our allies. What is true of the navy is equally true of the army. “Ships continue to be the vita! problem. There you have the neck of the bottle. We can send only 80 many men and so large a volume of war supplies and foodstuffs with the tonnage available. This will be in- creased largely as time passes, hut we cannot hurry time. For exam- ple, the navy is known to be getting destroyers off the ways in half the time required to build them before we got into the war. But we are not getting them fast enough. We want more of them than the building fa- cilities available can turn out. “Every manufacturing plant in the country capable of turning out war orders is at work. Most of them have all the work they can do. Ships Vital Need. “Take the matter of tools. A con- tract was made with a tool-making concern last fall, We will not get any tools until the end of this month or early next month from that par- ticular concern. Why? Because it takes time to produce machine tools The Government advanced that con- cern money to extend its plant, but extensions of mechanical plants re- quire much time. In many instances, large advances have been made to concerns manufacturing war ma- terials in order to speed up produc- | tion. “Both the Navy and War Depart- ments have been active in this respect and a great deal has been accom- plished that the critical Senators sp pear not to take into consideration.” Austin, Tex., Votes Dry.

BEFORE MEDIATION BOARD ‘Managers Charged With Break- ing Wage Agreement Nego- tiated by Government. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (By A. P,).—The demand of Chicago pack- ing house employes for Government control of the meat industry during the wer was broadened today 4 clude all the packing plants of tHe United States. It was made clear at the outset of hearings before the President’s Mediation Commission that the employes believed the ques- tion to be one of national necessity and not merely. a local dispute be- tween the Chicago plants and their workers. The packers, including J. Ogden Armour, Edward Swift, Gustave Swift, Edward Cudahy, Nelson Mor- ris and E. Wilson are in Washington prepared to confer with Secretary Wilson. President Wilson recently told the men he would use every means to ef- fect a readjustment rather than have the Government assume control of the packing plants. Action Now Requested. It is absurd for a group of six companies to control the food supply of the United States and the allies,” Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the workers, told the commission. Walsh declared it was necessary for the Government to act now and not wait for a calamity. Levy Mayer, attorney for the pack- ers, argued that the companies were striving to assist the nation in the war and that there was no adequate reason to justify seizure of the plants from the owners. Disagreement developed as to th: operation. of the Chicago mediation pact, negotiated by the commission on Christmas day. tended that the packe up to their agreement. to live J. Ogden Armour, Nelson Morris. and Edward F. Swift were the first of the packers’ representatives to appear. They said that Thomas E. Wilson and E. A. Cudahy also would be present.

U. 8. ROME, Monday, Jan. 21 (By.A. P.).—‘“Food is the most important matter now before the allies,” David Lubin, American representative in the International Institute of Agri- culture; said today. “It is useless to deceive ourselves. It is necessary to feed our armies well and, in view of the increasing consumption of food and decreasing production, we shall be unable to do this unless excep- tional weather prevails this spring and unless extraordinary measures are applied. 1 “T am reporting to thé State De- partment and also to Congress that Europe's ¢rops may be worse than last year’s, and tha tthe mobilization of women of the United States for farm work may be necessary. We would also consider plans for devot- ing land in the 11.arid states to graz- ing purposes. so that the United States will be able.to supply cattle for replenishment of the diminishing stocks. 3 “Our allies are depending upon the United States. Without its help they would reach a condition similar to that in Germany and Austria, in which there is merely food enough for the armies, with the civil popula- tions dying offt. . f. GOES TO WASHINGTON apr TO SUPPORT CHAMBERLAIN Colonel More Interested in War Cab- inet Issue Than in What Stone Said About Him. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (Special). —Col. Roosevelt came to Washing- ton today “to do all I can to help ‘speed up war work,” and said he would confer at once with Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Sen- ate Military Affairs Committee, and Senator Johnson of. California. The Colonel said he was more in- terested in what resident Wilson said about Senator Chamberlain than he was in what Senator Stone said about himself, Chamberlain is spon- soring a plan for universal military training, which is one of the Colo- nel’s policies. He said he would, while here, give all the support pos- sible to Chamberlain’s bill. The Colonel said it was the mark of pro-Germanism and of the furtive traitor either to oppose what is done to make our part in the war more speedy and efficient, or to defend in- efficiency, luke-warmness and de- lay.
