This is the first fire of any conse- quence since the fire epidemic which almost wiped out the industries at the prison in the summer of 1916.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Polities is smeared all over the landscape here today. Col. Roosevelt's arrival), well press- agented and carefully timed, gave the final touch to a picture remote from the subject of war. In countries where the executive arm of the Gov- ernment is diréctly responsible to the legislative, the situation existing here would be called a ministerial crisis. But under the American form perhaps the best description that can be given is to say that relations are tense between those who criticise the President’s conduct of the war and those who support the methods which have been employed.

MAILS BAR IRISH WORLD ISSUE One Edition Held to Be Objection- able; Other Publications Inves- tigated. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (By A.

The action was taken on recom- mendation of A. H. Smith, Assistant Director-General in charge of trans- portation in the East. No reference was made to the recommendation for an embargo on all freight except food and fuel for the rest of the week, submitted last night by Fuel Administrator Garfield. ‘The em- bargo is temporary and is expected to last only a few days. At the end of the five-day restric- ticn period no official could say to- day just what were the effects of the industrial shutdown except that it h got coal to searboard for ships. omes in many parts of the coun- try still were without fuel, although at the fuel administration it was said that complaints of lack of coal! for household needs were fewer than they had been for weeks. Railroad congestion has not been much relieved, but it was impossible to say whether the closing order hel,ed or not. Bad weather nulli- fied much of the good effects the general closing might have had in clearing the railroads and there was a wide difference of opinion as to whether the shutdown would have assisted materially in moving freight, even if the weather had been good Embargo Announced, “On account of the extremely se- vere weather, which has particularly affected operation of railroads cross- ing the Allegheny Mountains,” said the railroad admjnistration an- nouncement, “Director-General Mc- Adoo, upon the recommendation of Regional Director Smith, has author- ized him to place an‘embargo upon all freight except food, fuel and such war munitions and war supplies as the paper unless objectionable mat- | ter is found in them.

It was evident that the fuel admin- istration was disappointed in that the order did not relieve railroad conges- tion as much as hoped for. Weath- er conditions were blamed for this. ST, LOUISAN ON TORPEDOED SHIP ,Alexander Schultz of 6950 Fyler avenue’ has received a letter from his son, August Schultz, 22 years old, who is a member of the gun crew of the steamship Armenia, telling about the ship being torpedoed by a submarine early in December: Offi- cial announcement that the ship had been hit by a torpedo was made by the Navy Department only a few days ago. The ship made an English port safely and, according to young Schultz, none of the crew was in- jured. He said the ship had a big hole torn in its side. The crew is comfortably stationed in England, he said, and he did not know when they would réeturn to the United States, E. H. Sothern, Actor, in I’'rance. NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (By A. P.). —E, H.

Dispatch. ernment. party has passed through. of a brief review. As capitalism passed from a na- tional to an international-imperial- istic ground, national production, and with it the economic struggie of the proletariat, came into direct de- pendence on those conditions of the world-market which are secured by dreadnoughts and cannon. In other words, in contradiction of the fun- damenta! interests of the proletariat taken in their wide historic exten‘, the immediate trade interests of va- rious strata of the proletariat proved to have a direct dependence upon the successes or the failures of the foreign policies of the Governments. What of English Proletariat. England long before the, other countries placed her capitalistic de- velopment on the basis of predatory imperialism, and she interested the upper strata of the proletariat in her world dominion. In champion- ing its own class interests, the En- glish proletariat limited itself to er- ercising pressure on the bourgeo's parties which granted it a share in the capitalistic exploitation of other countries. It did not begin an inde. pendent policy until England began to lose her pogition in the world market, pushed aside, among others, by her main rival, Germany. But with Germany’s growth to industrial world-importance, grew the dependence of broad strata of the German proletariat on German im- perialism, not materially alone but also ideally. The Vorwaerts wrote on Aug. 11 that the German working- men, “counted among the politically intelligent, to whom we have preached the dangers of imperialigm for years (although with very littl success, we must confess)” scold a Italian neutrality’ like the extremist chauvinists. But that did not pre- vent the Vorwaerts from feeding the German workingmen on “national” and “democratic” arguments in justi- fication of the bloody work of itm- perialism, (Some writers’ backbones are as flexible as their pens.) | However, all this does not alter facts. When the decisive moment came, there seemed to be no irrecon- cilable enmity to imperialistic pol- icies in the consciousness of the Ger- man workingmen. On the contrary, they seemed to listen readily to im- perialist whisperings velled in na- tional and democratic phrasevlogy. This is not the first time that Social- istic imperialism reveals itseif in the German Social Democracy. Suffice it to recall the fact that at the Inter- This is the eleventh installment of “The Boisheviki and the World Peace,” by Leon Trotzky, to be published in the _By LEON TROTZKY— Foreign Minister in the Russian Bolsheviki (Revolutionary) Gov- Post- > .

It dwells at the heart of all the events that the The dependence of the proletarian class movement, particularly in its economic conflicts, upon the scope and the successes of the imperialistic policy of the state is a question which, as far as I know, has never been dis- cussed in the Socialist press.. Nor can I attempt to solve it in the short space of this war. So what Lsball say on this point will neressarily be in the nature The proletariat is deeply interested in the development of the forces of production. The national state created in Europe by the revolutions and wars of the years 1789 to 1870 was the basic type of the economic evolution of the past period. The proletariat contributed by its entire conscious policy to the development of the forces of production on a national foundation. It sup- ported the bourgeoise in its conflicts with alien enemies for national libera- tion; also in its conflicts with the monarchy, with feudalism and the echureh for political democracy. And in the measure in which the bourgepise turned to ‘‘law and order,’’ that is, became reactionary, the proletariat assumed the treaties and social legislation, the proletariat is incapable of expending the same energy in fighting impe- rialism that it did in fighting feu- dalism. By applying its old methe ods of the class struggle—the con- stant adaptation to the movements of the markets—to the changed con- ditions produced by imperialism, it itself falls into material and ideolog- ical dependence on imperialism. The only way the proletariat an pit its revolutionary force against imperialism is under the banner of Socialism. The working class is powerless against imperialism as# long as its great organizations stand by their old opportunist tactics. The working class will be all-powerful against imperialism when’ it takes the battlefield of social revolution. The methods of national parlia- mentary opposition not only fail to produce objective results, but the la- boring masses lose all interest in them because they find that their earnings and their very existence are not affected by what is done in Par- liament. Behind the backs of the parliamentarians imperialism wins its successes in the world market. Titanic The methods of national-parlia- mentary opposition not only fail to produce practical results, but also cease to make an appeal to the la- boring masses, because the workers find that, behind the backs of the parliamentarians, imperialism, by 4 “= = bay eas : Bere: 8 - iy poe ee A ae : rerort af pee: 7. =: . aa fare ee : =, ‘ee ‘ THE CAUSE OF 4 Fa : ‘ > -. tex = * YG : oo pth Ben hs 2 te 7 x P - ¥ = iF ~ ‘ : —e ae - - em a > = 4 - ae a . he % x ‘i & to 8 O'clock P.

P.).—A long statement dealing with the ‘Brest-Litovsk negotiations, issued through the. Bolsheviki Telegraph Agency at Petrograd, emphasizes the absolute German refusal to give any sort of a guarantee of the evacuation of occupied territories. “In such circumstances,” says the statement, “the words ‘self-determi- nation’ sound like mockery of princi- ples and the people concerned.” The statement then asks what object the _Austro-German imperialists had on Dec. 25 in recognizing the principle of a democratic peace and answers: “The same object as was followed by Wilson, Lloyd George and other im- perialists in exhibiting their demo- cratic pregram and throwing hu- manity under the complete control of capital.’ Refuse to “Call Black White.” After a wordy speculation as to what prompted the Germans to take the course they took in the negotia- tions, the statement:continues: y.° “Phe: lutidh.cannot live in an atmosphere of deceit and falsehood. ‘The revolution: may, not, at a given moment, be in a: position to repudi- ate the anriexationists, ‘but it never will Humiliate itse}f to call black white | cover wp the brutal annexationists’ pretensions with the fig leaf 6f Gemocracy. | “The significances of the Brest- Litovsk pour’ parlers are that they stripped from German imperialism fis false coats, temporarily borrowed from the Democratic wardrobe, and exposed the cruel reality of annexa- tionism of owners and capitalists. There is nothing more to be demand- ed from the pour parlers.”’ . Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki For- @ign Minister, who returned to Pet- Tograd Monday night, is quoted by the Exchange Telegraph correspond- ent as saying the German terms pre- ponderatingly favored annexationists. their objections being to strangle Russia economically and politically. The Austrian delegates, he said, played no very active role in the ne- gotiattons, merely assenting to every secretary of the Russian delegation at Brest-Litovsk, has announced, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Petrograd. that the Russian dejegation has made an official protest:to Dr, von Kuehl- mann and Count Czernin, heads of the German and Austrian delegation, regarding the omission from the of- ficial German: rts of the declara- tion of Trotsky at. the latest sitting of the peace conference, re- specting the attitude of the Central Powers.

But no one foresaw that history would preface this dnevitable change of tactics by such a catastro- phal collapse of the international. History works with titanic relent- lessness. What is the Rheims Ca- thedral to history? And what a few hundred or thousand polftical repu- tations? And what the life or death of hundreds of thousands or of mil- lions? The proletariat has remained too long in the preparatory sthool, much longer than its great pioneer fight- ers thought it would. History took her broom in hand, swept the inter- national of the epigone apart in all directions and led the slow-moving millions into the field where their last illusions are being washed away in blood. A terrible experiment! On its result perhaps hangs the fate of European civilization. CHAPTER XI. THE REVOLUTIONARY EPOCH. T the close of the last century A a heated controversy arose in Germany over the question, What effect does the industralliza- tion of a country produce upon its military power? The _ reactionary agrarian politicians and writers, like Sehring, Karl Ballod, Georg Han- sen and others, argued that the rap- id increase of the city populations at the expense of the rural districts positively undermined the foundation of the empire’s military power, and they of course drew from it their patriotic inferences in the spirit of agrarian protectionism. On the oth- er hand, Lujo Bretano and his school championed an exactly opposite point of view. They pointed out that eco- nomic industrialtsm not only opened up new financial and technical re sources, but also developed in the proletariat the vital force capable of making effective use of all the new means of defense and attack. He quotes authoritative opinions to show that even in the earlier experiences of 1870-71 “the regiments from the preponderantly industrial district of Westphalia were among the very best.” And he explains this fact quite correctly by the far greater ability of the industrial worker to find his bearings in new conditions and to adjust himself to them. Germany’s Progress. Now which side is right? fhe present war proves that Germany, whioh has made the'gredtest prog- ress along capitalistic lines, was able to develop the highest military power. And likewise in regard to all the countries drawn into it the war proves what colossal and yet competent energy the working class’: Fills Stomach With New Energy ‘Weak, Worn Out, Gassy, Sour Stomach Revived and Made to Enjoy.

It is not the passive horde-like hero- ism of the peasant masses, weld- ed together by fatalistic submissive- ness and religious superstition. It is the individualized spirit of sacri- fice, born of inner impulse, ranging itself under the banner of the Idea. But the Idea under whose banner the armed proletariat now stands, is the Idea of warcrafty nationalism, the deadly enemy of the true inter- ests of the workers. The ruling class showed themselves strong enough to force their Idea upon the proletariat, and the proletariat, in the conscious- ness of what they were doing, put their. intelligence, their enthusiasm and their courage at the service of In this fact is sealed the terrible defeat of Socialism, But it also opens up all possibilities for a final victory of Socialism. There can be no doubt that a class which is capable of displaying such stead- fastness and self-sacrifice in a war it considers a “jusf’ one, will be still more capable of developing these qualities when the march of events will give it tasks really worthy of the historical mission of this class.

A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly always due to acidity—acid stomach—and not, as most folks be- lieve, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro- ehloric acid in the stomach retards di- gestion and starts food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eruc- tate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash, or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast while it is ef- fervescing, and furthermore, to con- tinue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of and lemon uice, combined with lithia and so- ee poeta.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 23 (By A. P.). —Since the dissolution of the consti- tuent assembly and the disappear- ance, of any immediate hope of re- conciling the striving political parties, public attention in North Russia is centered on the bread shortage, the lack of practically all foodstuffs, the breakdown of transportation and the commercial stagnation as the result of the closing of the banks. Moscow, Petrograd and all the larger. cities of North Russia have little bread. The bread allowance in Petrograd |. has been reduced to a quarter of a pound daily and the Food Commis- sion has limited eggs to children an- der 3 years, each child to have four eggs a montth. But eggs are not obtainable at any price. The commission also has limitod fresh meat to children between the ages of 3 and 12 with a half pound monthly to each child. Potatoes have been substituted for bread at Novgs- rod and many other places in North Russia, but the cost is equivalent to 18 cents per pound in Petrograd and consequently the masses of the people cannot buy them. Passenger Trains Suspended. A general suspension of passenger trains began today in an effort to speed the transportation of food- stuffs from Siberia and South Rus- sia to the North. Virtually all trains arriving at Petrograd are crowded with soldiers, the windows in many of the coaches having been broken by the passengers to get air. Former bank employes in Moscow and Petrograd stfil refuse to work under the direction of the Smolny Institute. Withdrawals of checks are limited to 500 rubles ($250) to each depositor daily, and long lines form at the banks because of the long de- lays and difficulties in getting money. Bolshevik agents are opening safe deposit boxes and confiscating hoa ed gold and silver for the Govern- ment and turning hoarded paper money into current accounts for the owners. Street cars and lighting plants have suspended operations frequent- ly in Petrograd because of the lack of fuel and car lines when operat- ing are so crowded by soldiers anid refugees that much of the rolling stock is broken down. In Moscow the car lines are in a worse condition than here. Fighting Men Now Peddlers: Soldiers and sailors have become peddlers throughout North Russia and are making*excursions into the country and returning to the cities with bread, meat, tobacco and sugar. Although the city shops are with- out stocks, the streets are lined with soldiers offering supplies at high prices. Illuminating oil is not obtainable in Petrograd and@icandles are selling at 75 cents per pound. One pound of sugar is allowed each person monthly by card, at 22 cents per pound, but sugar bought without a card costs 75 cents a pound. Flour is unobtainable at any price and black bread when bought with cards is 5 cents a pound, when avail- able. Dispatches from many points in the Samara and Moscow districts re- port starvation.

The Goeben sighted British mon- itors in Kusu Bay on the northern corner of Imbros and engaged them, the Breslau continuing to fight the Lizard, which was prevented from closing to torpedo range because of the accuracy of the enemy’s fire at the shorter range.

She shov- eled in some coal and closed the door in the same way. People were pouring from the Odeon and it was evident that No. 1661 was going to have some busi- ness. A dozen women, a child or two and one young man crowded aboard, ‘and some wanted change and most of ““Vandeventers” or “Sarahs,”’ but the young woman in blue saw to it that they were all in- side and the doors closed gnd the two bells given before she turned her attention to fares and transfers.

The train was speeding down the Finney avenue hill toward Vande- venter before the numbed fingers had punched all the transfers, but of the group who stood about the little conductor, only one permitted her- self to exhibit interest, and she ex- hibited it only by an encpuraging F smile. At Whittier street one of the wom- en who got off left her seat in time to tell No. 1661 that it was the first time she had had the honor of rid- ing with a woman conductor and she liked it, and her friendly smile was warmth to the shivering one in blue, who thanked her and gave the two bells.

P.).—William Denman, former | chairman of the Shipping Board, told | the Senate Commerce Committee | yesterday that his position regarding , wooden ships had, been misrepre- | sented to the public. He declared | the press had “overplayed our hand) in the matter of wooden ships” and | said the impression that the board | was devoted to a wooden shipbuild- | ing policy only had done more to| harm ship extension in this country | than anything else. Denman denied that the row between himself and | Major-General Goethals had pre-| vented the commandeering of 15 ves- | sels built in this country for foreign | account, but said that delay by Con- | gress in enacting necessary legisla- | tion prevented the taking over of $8 | such vessels. The real situation was that he wanted additional tonnage, he said, | and thought wooden ships the best | way to get it. | Regarding his controversy with Gen. Goethals, he said that, with the exception of the last day they met, there never was any personal feel- ing between them. ! 36 Horses Rescued in Fire. | Thirty-six mules and horses were | rescued at 9:30 o'clock last night! from a fire that destroyed the brick stable of the A.

WHY WOMEN DREAD OLD AGE SRS RST arnt = A A A A A RUUNGONULR BLL’ LEGALITY TOBE ASKED FO Question Whether It Violates Prohibition Against Two Sub- jects in One Measure. BEFORE SERVICE BOARD Schmoll Suggests City Has Right to Use Its Part of Earn- —— «© ings to Cut Fare. The Board of Public Service, of the proposed United Railways “compromise,” upon which it will re- port to the Board of Aldermen with- in the next two weeks, will ask the Law Department for an opirion as to whether the measure violates con- ‘stitutional and charter provisions prohibiting legislation upon two subjects in the same bill. The pending bill contemplates the granting of a franchise to the United Railways, with conditions regarding service, extensions and operation, and at the same time proposes a compromise of the city’s judgment against the United Railways and the St. Louis Transit Co. for mill tax payments which have been in litiga- tion for several years. President Kinsey of the Board of Public Service opened the tentative discussions of the bill by propound- ing to C. BH. Smith, the city’s con- sulting engineer, the question wheth- er these purposes were not two sep- arate subjects of legislation. Smith gaid he could not answer a legal question. Members »%f the Board of Public Service agreed to hold daily sessions until the franchise has been dis- cussed section by section. A report is not likely to be ready for the Board of Aldermen next Friday. Schmoll’s Suggestion. Director ef Public Welfare Schmoll suggested that the bill should con- tain a provision permitting the city to use its share of the net earnings not only in the making of exten- sions and improvements and the de- crease of capitalization, as is now provided, but also for the reduction of fares. Net earnings above 7 per cent on the capital value of $60,- 000,000 are the only profits of the company to which the bill gives the city any clatm. An amendment authorizing the condemnation of the United Rail- ways, under appraisement by com- missioners, was also suggested by Director Schmoll. Engineer Smith said this was held to be unnecessary since that right is already guaran- teed by the charter. President Kin- sey. concurred with Schmoll that a specific reservation of the right should be contained in the bill. Board of Control.: It was agreed by members of the Board of Public Service that one en- tire session will be devoted to the discussion of the board of control created by the bill and another to the valuation of $60,000,000 estab- lished by Engineer Smith. Smith was notified that he would be expect- ed to explain in detail the manner in which he. reached his conclusions that the United Railways properties were worth the amount he fixed in the proposed ordinance. President Kinsey and other mem- bers announced that they did not re- gard themselves bound by the sug- gestions they offered in the prelimt- nary discussions, and that if they felt justified they would “flop.” TEACHER AT MOBERLY, MO., HELD UNDER ESPIONAGE ACT E.

JOSEPH PULITZER. ., : April 10, 1907._ “ sisi LETTERS FROM THE -PEOPLE. Meat Packers’ Profits. . To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. Our attention has been called to an ed- itorial in your issue of Dec. ,31, 1917, in which the packers are accused of operat- ing a combine te control prices. It intt- mates that the packers have been content with reasonable profits on meat products, but that they have been responsible for the high prices of hides, fertilizers, etc. We are sending you, under separate cover, a copy of a reply that we recently made to questions submitted by the Fed- éral Trade Commission. In this you will see that the profit of Swift & Co., mcluding that on by-products, is so small per pound of meat sold, that if it were eliminated altogether the effect on the retail price of meat, or on the price of livestock, would be inappreciable. The profits mentioned in this reply to the : Federal Trade Commission include profits from hides, fertilizers, fats, etc. The in- ereased price of these commodities is due to general war causes, such as the in- creased demand, high cost of production, shortage of materials due to lack of ton- nage, and to increased money supply, and not to any arbitrary control exercised by the packers. ‘In these allied industries the packers are not in competition with each other, but they are in compet?tion with many other manufacturers. We believe that it is extremely unfair to have unsubstantiated charges issued by the daily papers as if they were authen- ticated facts. The packing industry has been under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, and we should think it just to reserve judgment with respect to raising of prices through monopoly control until the Trade Commission has reported. All that the packers want, and need, is fair play, anda frank and unprejudiced statement of facts. Very truly yours, SWIFT & CO. ‘Per L. D. W. Weld, Manager Commercial Research Department. Push Coal Production. ‘Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Since the Government is using drastic measures to save coal by forcing steam plants to close, why not work the soldiers in coal mines? The coal is there; why not get it out? This would be a real conservation move. It would save the daily wage of millions and aid the manufacturer to deliver his goods and fill his contracts. It will give the soldter practice digging in the mines, for he will soon dig in the trenches. FUEL CONSERVATION. Pavements Hard on Horses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see that the United Railways have signs in their cars in regard to trucks and teamsters getting on the tracks and de- taining theirs and the people's time. At Grand and Laclede avenues and ever since the oity put in those paving blocks on end and when the street is the least bit wet or frozen, there are from six to ten or more head of horses down in the car tracks every day and there are lots of cars stopped and even bunched, until those horses are helped up or wagons pushed out by the cars. The streets are rounding in the middle. Why does the car company put up with this? There ought to be rough granite there, so a horse would have at least a chance, and besides, lots of fine horses have died or been put on the scrap pile from that slick corner and the humane society knows about this corner, the worst in St. Louis, if they are not blind. The overloader of teams ought to be arrested because the cars on the lines. Instead of spending so ney on the late improvements on the cars, they could have put some of their ‘01 » getting coal, and could have spent a bit of that money towards running v on the lines, especially in the and mornings. LINCOLN’S CABINET CRISIS. In December of 1862 there was a Cabinet crisis in Lincoln’s administration over the conduct of the Civil War which suggests an interesting par- allel to the present situation in Washington. Re- publican Senators charged that the failure to prosecute the war successfully was due to the President’s Cabinet advisers and demanded that he make changes in his Cabinet. Lincoln’s po- sition was far worse than Wilson’s. Reverses in the field and the apparent lack of successful 1il- itary commanders had deeply depressed the peo- ple and Lincoln was profoundly distrusted by Congress and the leaders of all parties. Shortly afterwards Richard H. Dana wrote of the uncon- cealed lack of respect for the President in all parties and the utter absence of personal loyalty to him in Washington. Of course, no such radical and unconstitutional action as that embodied in the Chamberlain bill was suggested, but the pres- sure for Cabinet changes was strong. Lincoln re- sisted and won the war. James Ford Rhodes in his History of the United States thus describes the incident: The disaster of Fredericksburg caused a Cabinet crisis, as it is described by the con- temporary’ authorities,. with ‘deference to English political phraseology. But the pro- cedure when a calamity of state seems to call for radical action shows the difference between the English and the American Con- stitutions. Lincoln was the head of the ad- ministration, the Commander in Chief of the armies, and if anyone other than Burnside was responsible for the defeat of the Rap- pahannock, it was he. So declared the Dem- ocrats without reserve. The Republicans, ‘too, in private conversation and confidential let- ters, expressed the same conviction, although in public they were cautious and reticent. Suppose English conditions to have obtained and Lincoln to have been Prime Minister. Congress would probably have voted a want of confidence in him and his ministry; his resignation or an appeal to the country would have followed. But as Lincoln said Sept. 22 and might still have said: “I do not know that, all things considered, any other person has more” of the confidence of the people than I have; “and however this may be, there is no way in which I can have any other man put where I am. I am here. I must do the best I can, and bear the re- sponsibility of taking the course which I feel I ought to take.” In view of this con- stitutional limitation a caucus of Republic- an Senators, assuming to speak for a ma- jority of their party and of the nation, re- verted unconsciously to earlier English precedents, and gave as a formal opinion that the failure of a vigorous and success- ful prosecution of the war was due to the fact that the President was badly advised by his Cabinet Ministers. Most of these Sen- ators thought that the clog to the adminis- tration was Seward, and at their first meet- ing they passed, although not by a unani- mous vote, a resolution declaring that the welfare of the country required his with- drawal from the Cabinet. Later, in order to obtain practical unanimity, this resolution Was reconsidered and a substitute adopted which asked such changes to be made among the President’s constitutional advisers as would secure “in the present crisis of public affairs” better results in the war waged “to Suppress a causeless and atrocious rebel- lion.” The radical Senators, a prey to long- continued irritation at Seward’s conserva- tism of the last two years and especially em- & admit of it. I therefore have to request that you will resume the duties of your depart- ments respectively.” The next day Seward cheerfully resumed his office, and two days later Chase reluctantly returned to his post. The Cabinet crisis was over. Its members remained the same, Lincoln had displayed rare political sa- ' gacity in insisting on retaining in the serv- ice of the state the men who could best serve it notwithstanding the rude jostling of the Cabinet and the opinion of Congress that the essential concord in judgment and action did not prevail among its members. His judg- ment that “the public interest does not ad- mit” of the retirement of the Secretaries of State and of the Treasury is confirmed by a study of the writings of the time in the light of succeeding events. In the misfor- tune and dejection which had fallen upen the country no voice could be slighted that would be raised for the continued prosecu- ‘tion of the war; and since Seward and Chase represented the diverse opinions of two large classes of men ‘who were at least in concord on the one all-important policy, it was desirable that they should remain in the Cabinet. The loss of either or both of them would have been a subtraction from y the popular support of the administration that could in no other way be made good. = = - — i SENATOR STONE’S EFFRONTERY. Some of the charges in Senator Stone’s provo- cative speech were based on fact. \So also were some of Senator Lodge’s statements in reply. But what an inopportune time to bring forward such an issue! Has any recent spectacle in Con- gress been more remarkable than that of a man of Mr. Stone’s record solemnly reproving his col- leagues for partisanship? After what he said on that point we were prepared to see one of his at- titude at the close of the last Congress and the be- ginning of the present proceed:to invite presump- tious comparisons on relative patriotism and rela- tive support given in this country to the Kaiser. But it was amazing! If the speech was deliberately designed to bring lamentable and unity-destroying divisions into Congress, it gave instant effects. Those effects may be continuous unless the country at once makes 4tself heard by all engaged in the disgrace- ful squabble. A parallel might be found in the old days of the volunteer fire fighters, when rival companies fought each other while the house was burning down and the inmates were perishing. But something humorous now attaches to those absurd exhibitions. The national crisis is too grave for anything but resentment and deep anger. ee ee oat he The country will remember that the Republican party as a whole, during 1917, gave the President a loyal support which a formidable minority in Mr. Stone’s party withheld.

Has a Meaning OMETIMES there is more in a S name than in the person who bears it, for names were not originally the mere titles that dis- tinguished one man or woman from another. When first adopted they all had some well understood mean- ing. For centuries nobody had but one name, and even this first or proper name as we call it signified some personal quality or occupation. Thus according to authorities, John, which is derived from the Hebrew, means wise and merciful; George, from the Greek, means a farmer, and Henry, from the Latin, means noble and honorable. Mary in Hebrew signifies broken-hearted, and Emma, from the German, means @ nurse or a bee. Emily is simply little Emma and so on. As the world’s population § in- creased and men began to gather together in communities, there were often dozens of Johns or Simons or Marthas or Marys in one place. This made a continuance of the single- name system an impossibility, what had worked well enough when the earth was sparsely populated was now a source of the greatest confu- sion. In sending a message to any- one, writing him or even referring to him in conversation, it became cessary to add some description to his name by which he could be dis- tinguished. This was done in several ways, sometimes by describing him as the son of so and so, sometimes by adding the name of his city or country, of by referring to his ocou- pation. We see all three of these plans constantly used in the Bible. N the English language the com- monest*of all our surnames came from an occupation. The reason the Smith family is at present numerous is because in the Mid- ‘ cote) vege sO dle J for Ages the word “smig” was used family, I'm sure."—~ for a wider variety of trades than at present. The man who worked in copper, gold, silver, brass, even the arrowmaker, and later the gunmak- er, was a smith, as well as the man who forged iron or put shoes on horses, but in all these occupations some sort of metal was used. .As an ancient rhyme has it: — “From whence came Smith, be he knight or squire, But from the smith that forgeth at the fire.” It is said that in Great Britain alone there are more than 5,000,000 Smiths, and how many there are in this country has never been even es- timated. The bearers of the sur- names that have descended from William and John are numerous. From the former we get Williamson, Williams, Wilson and Wills. From John, curiously enough, comes Jones, but when we remember that the old spelling of John was Jon, this does not seem quite so odd. Johnson, of course, comes from this name, as well as Johns, while it is easy to see that Richardson was the son of Richard and Robertson the son of Robert and so on. It was not until well along itn the fifteenth century that the custom of adopting one surname for al] the members of the same family became common. Before this it changed with each generation. This was be- cause it was formed by adding the father’s name to the son's. In an old English document dated 1402 we read of a dispensation granted to one “Richard Jonson, son of Jon Rich- ardson of Fishlake.”’ A High Liver. 6O)* mamma, baby is trying to “Mercy! eat a.jump of coal.” That child never got his expensive tastes from my side of the ipt. : "See sca > roe Ee ee so m t+ : .

HE newspapers report that a , “conscientious objector’ who didn’t want to defend his country and was drafted into its service against his will, and who defied every military regulation and refused to submit to any authority, has been duly tried and sent to prison. How I wish that army regulations could be carried into private life and that the Conscientious Objectors who infest almost every family and make life a burden to all about them could also be taken out some nice, pleasant morning and _ siain! It would be the beginning of a perfect day for many a household that is now the scene of nothing but a per- petual protest. Sometimes the Conscientious Ob- jector isa man. Sometimes the Con- scientious Objector is a woman; but he, she or it is always a billious, dark green pessimist who goes on the principle that whatever is, is wrong, and whatever you want to do you shouldn’t be permitted to do, and that every idea and every plan is fallacious and bound to be a failure unless he, she or it originated it. The Conscientiows Objector con- ceives it to be his or her sacred mis- sion in life to be a wet blanket on every occasion; to give courage cold feet; to dampen enthusiasm and take the crimp out of it, and to drown ambition. When he or she has done this and left gou limp and lifeless and despondent, the Conscientious Objector smiles the complacent smile of one who has done his full duty and may rest for the time being from his labors. The Conscientious Objector works on no plan. He has no theory to substitute for the one he opposes. In war the Conscientious Objector re- fuses to fight to defend his country, but he doesn’t offer any suggestion as to how a country is to be defend- ed without fighting. He will not obey orders in the army, but he for- mulates no brilliant plan for con- trolling an army without discipline. And it’s the same’ way in private life. The Conscientious Objector simply registers protest and nothing more. He is sure that whatever you are doing is bound to end in disaster and that you are doing it the wrong way, but he never offers you a better plan or any theory of action that is more likely to succeed. The Con- scientious Objector pours over you a flood of destructive criticism, but he never hands you even a straw of con- structive criticism to which you might cling and save yourself. W jector is a man he is gen- erally in busines by himself, for his partners soon find out that they have used up so much energy in combating his objections to every scheme they devise that they have no steam left with which to forge ahead so they quickly get rid of him. Then, not having much else to do, the Con- scientious Objector has time to turn his attention to the country at large and tell how it is going to the dogs, and point out the mistakes that President Wilson, the War Board, Red Cross, Wall street, Lloyd George, Gen. Petain and Gen. Haig and the Bolsheviki are making. None of them is doing things as the Conscientious Objector thinks they should be done, and the mere fact that he himself has never been able to make even a bare living does not hinder him from sitting in judgment on the mightiest achievement of great men and announcing authori- tatively that they are blundering. It is in the bosom of his family, however, that the conscientious ob- jector does his perfect work. He is a standing veto on his own hearth- stone and he objects on principle to everything that every individual in the house wanstodo. Half the time he really doesn’t care a whoop about the matter. He has no reason for opposing it whatever. It is just a constitutional affliction with him to say “no” to everything. I know a dozen households in which the wife and children keep every plan as secret as they would a contemplated crime from the hus- band and father. ‘Wait and tell him after you have done it and he won't care, but if you tell him beforehand he will be sure to object and refuse to let you do it,” is the philosophy they have learned from bitter experi- ence with a conscientious objector. Of course, they outwit the consci- entious objector, but he has spoiled for them the finest flower of their pleasure, for anticipation always has realization beat a city block, and to be deprived of the fun of talking over beforehand the thing you are going to do is to have a very large pin inserted in your little balloon. T conscientious objector is even more deadly than the male, because she is always around the premises and eternally on the job. Women are extremists. They raise everything to the highest power and when one gives her mind to being a dark-blue pessimist she can make indigo look like a faded color. Also when she objects she can object to more things than any other human being. ; The female conscientious objectors form the class who begin every re- mark to their children with “don’t.” Johnnie, don’t do this, don’t do that. Don't do everything that you are do- img or- are not doing. It’s purely automatic with them to object and the child knows it and doesn’t even make a pretense of obeying, and then when the time comes when the woman really needs to assert author- ity over the child she finds that she has none. ’ The Conscientious Objector is a killjoy in her home. If her children want to go to any place of amuse- ment, no matter how innocent, she is ready with a thousand protests. She objects on account of the weath- er. She objects if they are to go in an automobile, or they are to HEN the Conscientious Ob- HE female of the species of the je current dynamos have been built in Europe, each with a capacity of about 60,000 16-candle- power lamps. on To save salesmen labor, a machine has been invented that will extract a rug from a pile so that it can be displayed on top of the others.

First American Magazines Failed HE average man is bewildered z ie when he goes to the newsstand for “something to read” by the number of magazines offered there for his choice. Good, bad and indif- ferent, they run into the dozens, all with a blaze of color upon their cov- ers, and each seeming to demand “buy me.” How different it was 176 years ago. when the first American magazine made its appearance. There is a most interesting story connected with this publication. Benjamin Frank- lin, master of a prosperous printing business and weekly newspaper in Philadelphia, conceived that the time had come for the colonies to have monthly literary publication. So he set about establishing it. News of his plan, or the same idea, came to another Philadelphia printer, that same Bradford who is recognized as one of the pioneers of American printing. In all events a race began between Bradford and Franklin, and the former won, getting his magazine on the streets in 1741, just three days ahead of Franklin's. Bradfofd’s pub- lication was called ‘“‘The American; or a Monthly View.” Franklin named his new venture “‘The General Maga- zine and Historical Chronicle.” The rivalry between these two mag- azines, nor their subject matter would seem to have stirred Philadelphians, to say nothing of other colonists. For both fell upon hard days, and Bradford's publication suspended after three issues. Franklin perse- vered for six months and then de- cided that Bradford was right in his estimate of the public humor, for he gave up his magazine. The publish- ing business was then no -less pre- carious than now, and the editor had the same hard task of trying to dis- cover what the public would read— and buy. | A glance at Franklin’s publication immediately places it in what would now be called the “heavy” class. Pvi- dently it was weighty material for even that day. Settling Up. T*OM: Dick is going into settlement work. Bill: At the behest of the minis- ter?

Before they have gotten off they have had so mang fights with mother that the victory isn’t worth the price, and they wish they had stayed at home. And the worst of it is that mother wanted them to go all the time, but she felt it her duty to exercise the prerogative of a Conscientious Objec- tor and do her best to spoil _ their pleasure. S a wife the Conscientious Ob- jector is first aid to failure. She’s a raven that sits above the parlor door forever more croak- ing, “You can’t do it!” to her hus- band. She envelops him in a pall of dismal prophecies. She can never see anything but bankruptcy and ruin ahead. She throws cold water on his every plan and chills his en- thusiasm in any scheme to the bone. She kills his faith in himself. She slays his ambition and she exhausts him so with her eternal objections to everything that, at last, he runs up the white flag and surrenders to conditions that he could have con- quered if he hadn’t had a traitor at his side. The Conscientious Objectors do more to destroy the joy of living than anybody else in the world. They rob us of the little daily delights of making joyous little plans and talk- ing them over with those who urge us on. They paralyze our energy. they stifle our ambitions. They foredoom us to failure because we) can only achieve what we believe we | can achieve. And that’s why I'd like to see all the Conscientious Objectors lined up | against a nice brick wall, and I'd) like to be in the firing squad that) gives them what's coming to them.

We immediately sent up two star shells, and in their light could see two dark forms lying on the ground close to our wire. A Sergeant and four stretcher-bearers went out in front and soon returned carrying two limp bodies. Down in the dug- out, in the flickering light of three candles, we saw that they were two German officers. one a Captain and the other an Unteroffizier, a rank one grade higher than a Sergeant-Major, but below the grade of a Lieutenant. The Captain’s face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb’s explosion. The Unteroffizer was alive, breathing with difficulty: In a few minutes he opened his eyes and blinked in the glare of the candles. The pair had evidently been drink- ing heavily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely per- vaded the dugout. I turned away in disgust, hating to see & man cross the Great Divide full of booze. One of our officers could speak German and he questioned the dying man. In a faint voice, interrupted by frequent hiccoughs, the Unteroffizer told his story. =, A Drunken Bet. Théere had been a drinking bout among the officers in one of the Ger- man dugouts, the main beverage be- ing champagne. With a drunken leer he informed us that champagne was plentiful on their side and that it did’ not cost them anything, either. About 7 that night the conversation had turned to the. “contemptible” English, and the Captain had made a wager that he would hang his cap on the English barbed wire to show his contempt for the English sentries. The wager was accepted. At 8 o’clock the Captain and he had crept out into No Man’s Land to carry out this wager. They had gotten about half way across when the drink took effect and the Captain fell asleep. After about two hours of vain attempts the Unteroffizier had at last succeed- ed in waking the Captain, reminded him of his bet and warned him that he would be the laughing stock of the officers’ mess if he did not accomplish his object, but the Captain was trembling all over and insisted on returning to the German lines. In the darkness they lost their bearings and crawled toward the English trenches. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by our sentry. Being too drunk to realize that the challenge was in English the Captain refused to crawl back. Finally the Unter- offizier convinced his superior that they were in front of the English wire. Realizing this too late, the Captain drew his revolver and with a muttered curse fired blindly to- ward our trench. His bullet no doubt killed our Captain. Then the bomb came over and there he was, dying——and a good job too, we thought. The Captain dead? Well, his men wouldn't weep at the news. Without giving us any further in- formation the Unteroffizier died. We searched the bodies for iden- tification disks, but they had left everything behind before starting on their foolhardy errand. Next afternoon we buried them fn our little cemetery apart from the graves of the Tommies. If you ever go into that cemetery you will see two little wooden crosses in the cor- ner of the cemetery set away from the rest. They read: | Captain German Army Died-—1916 Unknown R. t. Unteroffizier German Army Died——1916 Unknown R.1L P, NE dark and rainy night while on guard we were looking over the top from a fire step of our front-line trench when we heard a noise immediately in front of our barbed wire. The sentry next to me challenged, “Halt, who comes there?” and brought his rifle to the aim. His challenge was answered in German. A Captain in the next traverse climbed upon the sandbagged parapet to investigate—a brave but foolhardy deed —Crack went a bullet and he tumbled back into the trench with a hole through his stomach and died a few minutes later. A lance-corporal in the next platoon was so enraged at the Captain’s death that he chucked a Mills bomb in the direction of the noise with the shouted warning to us: “Duck your nappers, my lucky lads.” ( Continued.) A sharp dynamite report, a flare in CHAPTER XXL About Turn. HE next evening we were re- T lieved by the —th Brigade and once again returned to rest billets. Upon arriving at these billets we were given 24 hours in which to clean up. I had just fin- ished getting the mud from my uni- form when the Orderly Sergeant in- formed me that my name was in or- ders for leave, and that I was to re- port to the orderly room in the morning for orders, transportation and rations. I nearly had a fit, hustled about, packing up, filing my pack with souvenirs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel balls and a Prussian Guardsman’s helmet. In fact, before I turned in that night, I had everything ready to report at the orderly room at 9 the next morn- ing. I was the envy of the whole sec- tion, swanking around, telling ‘of the good time I was going to have, the places I would visit, and the real. old English beer I intended to guz- zie. Sort of rubbed it into them, be- cause they all do it, and now that it was my turn, I took pains to get my own back. . At 9 I reported to the Captain, re- ceiving my travel order and pass. He asked me how much money I want- ed to draw. I glibly answered. “Three hundred francs, sir;” he just as glibly handed me 100. Reporting at brigade headquar- ters, with my pack weighing a ton. I waited, with 40 others, for the Ad- jutant to inspect us. After an hour's wait, he came out; must have been sore because he wasn’t going with us. The Quertermaster-Sergeant is- sued us two days’ rations, in a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to our belts. Ready for Blighty. Then two motor lorries came along and we piled in, laughing, joking, and in the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling so happy. Our journey to seven days’ bliss in Blighty had com- menced. The ride in the lorry lasted about two hours; by this time we were cpvered with fine, white dust from’ the road, but didn’t mind, even if we were nearly choking. At the railroad station at F we reported to an officer, who had: a white band around his arm, which read “R. T. 0.” (Royal Transporta- tion Officer). To us this officer was Santa Claus. The Sergeant in charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said, “Make yourselves comfortable on the platform and don’t leave, the train is liable to be along in five minutes—or five hours.” It came in five hours, a string of 11 match boxes on big, high wheels. drawn by a dinky little engine with the “con.” These match boxes were cattle cars, on the sides of which was painted the old familiar’ sign, “Hommes 40, Chevaux 8.” The R. T. O. stuck us all into one car. We didn’t care, it was as good as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent on that train, bumping, stopping, jerking ahead, and sometimes sliding back. At three stations we stopped long enough to make some tea, but were unable to wash, so when we arrived at B——, where we were to embark for Blighty, we were as black as Turcos and, with our unshaven faces. we looked like a lot of tfamps. Though tired out, we were happy. We had packed up, preparatory to detraining, when a R. T. O. held up his hand for us to stop where we were and came over. This is what he said: : til it reaches the proper shade. This can be removed at any time by wash- ing the waist in the ordinary manner _ and another color can be applied. Thus a white or delicate colored blouse can be made to do service in several colorings. If your bodkin fs not at hand and you are in a hurry take a safety pin and run it firmly into the end of the ribbon. Clasp the pin and you will find the improvised bodkin will work quite as well as the real article, Delivering Packages Cost $75,- 000,000 a Year. DA TARBELL, the famous writer, says in the February Woman's Home Companion, in an article about women carrying their own packages and ordering more sensi- bly: “The cost in men and money of thoughtless ordering is staggering. Since the Government turned its at- tention to this matter, various care- ful investigations have been made, with a result that really ought to make us all ashamed of ourselves, that is, if we have any feeling at all, as most people have, for the erderly, efficient doing of things. One care- ful research body declares that in the ordinary retail grocery stores of the country the expense of delivery is 3 per cent of the net sales. found that in Washington City 7% per cent of the gross sales of all products was spent in delivery. “The Commercial Economy Board, a committee of the Council for Na- tional Defense, has been pushing the problem of delivery reforms the hardest’ It declares that we could easily release half the men, the money, the equipment employed in delivery if we would set about it in an intelligent and determined fash- ion. “Something of what this means will be seen if we consider what it takes simply to take care of the work of the retail grocery stores of the coun- try. There are more than 200,000 of these shops. They employ over 100,- 000 men in deliveries, and as many wagons and trucks, The cost of the business is something like $75,000,- 000 a year.” | Try Alligator and Lizard Steaks. NE need not become excited O over the high cost of beef while there is an _ alligator handy. A steak from the latter is a toothsome morsel, having a combined fish and flesh taste, writes Prof. A. M. Reese of the University of Weat Virginia in the Scientific Monthly. Only prejudice stands in the way of our making use of alligators as well as lizards and all species of turtles, as food. The domestic lizard too small to be worth while, but th America produces a six-footer, the iguana, which is a famous delicacy. We do not have to be told that green turtle and diamond-back ter- ripah are good, but these are costly articles of food, the price of a four- pound terrapin being about $6. The common varieties, however, the log- gerhead, snapping and soft-shelled turtles, are also recommended. Do not feel sorry, by the way, for the green turtles in the markets because they are lying on th<cir backs; this is the only position in which they can breathe out of water. True to Tradition. A* English, Irish and Scottish sol- dier were returning to camp _ after a stroll. They were footsore and tired, and a kindly farmer on his way home from market gave them a lift on the road.
