Three men hauling a copper monu- ‘ment on a bobsled were arrested at Calvary and Florissant avenues at 10:30 o'clock last night. ._They ad- mitted having stolen the monument from a grave in Bellefontaine Ceme- tery and pleaded intoxication as an excuse. The police say they ap- peared to be sober. The inscription on the monument was: “Erecte@ in 1910 by James Mc- Cash, in memory of Alfred David McCash, born 1875 and died i881, and Christian McCash, born 1869 and died 1879.” As the war has created a profitable market for metals, the police believe the men intended to sell the piece. They said that they were Philip Henkel, 21 years old, of 4961 Florissant avenue; Leo Cherry, 27, 6347 Geraldine avenue, and Harry Hempler, 25, 1312 Webster avenue. COMMITTEE TO GET LARGE ROOM TO HEAR BAKER| WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Tenta- tive arrangements were made at the Capitol today to give Secretary Bak- er sucha hearing as he asked of the Senate Military Committee—one at which all Senators and Representa- tives who desire can be present—by holding the’session in a room large enough for the purpose, and not in the small committee room. His statement, it is expected, will be the administration’s reply to Senator Chamberlain's charges of inefficiency in the War Department. Four Killed, Four Hurt in Collision, SHPRIDAN, Wyo., Jan. 26 (By A.

Bound’ for St. Louis Near Prairie Mine. MOTORMAN MEETS DEATH Passengers Assist Digging. Em- ploye From Debris—Women Among the Injured. James B. Johnson of East St. Louis, motorman of the “Lebanon Limited” of the Bast St. Louis & Suburban Electric Line, who was fatally injured when his car col- lided with a local car near Prairie Mine, west of O’Fallon, at 11 o’clock today, died at 4 p. m. at St. Mary’s Hospital, Bast St. Louis. It is ex- pected that the 14 passengers who were injured will recover. Several are at St. Mary’s Hospital. The others were sent to their homes aft- er treatment. Johnson was buried under the wreckage of his car. After passen- gers and fellow employes had worked half an hour to extricate him it was found that his left leg was severed and his right leg was fractured. “TAmited”’ Overran Signal. . At the office of the company it was said a report received there was that the “limited” car overran a sig- nal. The line is operated on a single track with cut-out switches. Both cars were on a straightaway stretch of track when the accident occurred, according to accounts given by pas- sengers. ‘ Besides Motorman Johnson the most seriously injured were Edwin C. Brown, a Lebanon moving picture theater owner, whose left leg was fractured, ‘and E. S. Van Meter of Greenville, who was crushed and cut. They remained under treatment at St. Mary’s Hospital. Others less seriously injured,. most of them being cut and bruised, were taken to their homes after receiving emergency hospital treatment. They were: Women Among Injured. Mrs. Edith Jenkins, Edwardsville; Thomas Melett, Collinsville; Gustav Ruth, Trenton; Alphonse Mayhew, Lebanon: John Winkler and his wife, Bertha, Trenton; Miss Grace Schoot, O’Falion; Miss Rosalia Grissey, Breese; Miss Grace Scott, Q’Fallon; Mrs. Belle Wagner, East St. Louis, and Dr. W. W. Haven, O’Fallon. Dr. Haven told a Post-Dispatch re- porter there were about 35 passen- gers on the “limited’’ car. He was sitting near the front, he said, and the car was moving at moderate speed on a straightaway track when passengers saw the other car ap- proaching on the same track. He said he did not understand how the accident could; have occurred, as it was possible for the motormen to o the track for a considerable distance, as there were no curves or obstruc- tions. Was Motorman’s Last Day. Johnson, who lived in East St. Louis, was to have quit the service of the company tomorrow to go into business with his brother, John, an East St. Louis grocer. John Johnson told a reporter he induced his brother to resign because of a feel- ing that his occupation as motorman was dangerous.

TOTAL DEFICIT : $79,272 Search Warrant Issued for Bank Books, Checks and Stubs of His Office. An aditional shortage of $27,812 in the deposits of former Treasurer Fred Warning of St. Ciair County has been discovered in an examina- tion of the County Collector’s funds, County Auditor George Eckert told a Post-Dispatch reporter today Warn- ing was Collector by virtue of his office as Treasurer. The __ total amount which his deposits are short is $79,272. Eckert announced Dec. 21, as was told exclusively in the Post-Dispatch at that time, that the County Treas- urer’s deposits were $62,888 short. This amount later was reduced to $51,460 by the finding ‘of checks and the transfer of accounts from one fund to the other. However, the discovery of the additional shortage makes the total defictt $16,384 great- er than it was at first thought to be. Search Warrants for Records. Judge Crow of-the Circuit Court, yesterday issued a search warrant, upon application by. the State’s At- torney, commanding the Sheriff to search Warning’s house for the bank books, check stubs and canceled checks, and for any other papers that belong to the office from which Warning was recently ousted. This action followed the faflure- of Warn- ing to produce the bank books, stubs, and cancelled checks which are greatly needed by the acocuntants who are auditing the books. When Warning had been ousted by the Board of Supervisors Eckert demanded all the office records, but received no response. ) Warning and his chief deputy, Herman Pfuhl, vacated the office when he was ousted, t-left George Obernagel, a second deputy, in charge. Eckert, who had been em- powered by the Supervisors to take charge. of the office, asked Ober- nagel to leave Thursday. Obernagel consented to get out, but refused to give Eckert the key to the office door, and it was nec- essary to station a Deputy Sheriff at the door all night to guard the re- ‘cords. Yesterday the lock was j changed. Eckert had previously suc- ceeded in getting Obernagel to open the door of the vault, and had then changed the combination. No trace of the bank books; stubs or checks was found among the rec- ords. Pfuhl told him, Eckart. said, that Warning had them at his home. Distribution of Shortage. Eckert explained yesterday how the shortage in the deposits is dis- tributed. The books show that there should be $442,217.14 on deposit as County Treasurer’s funds. The banks say there is only $390,857, of which $383,863 is money for road bonds. Only $6994 is deposited in the reg- 4ular funds. The books show that there should be $42,798.92 to the credit of the County Collector’s fund, but the ac- countants have been unable to dis- cover a cent on deposit. However, there was found in the office, checks, election warrants and unredeemed tax sale certificates aggregating $14,986.47, which reduced the amount of the shortage in this fund to $27,812.45. Warning was not at his home to- day when a reporter tried to get a statement from him 6n the new de- velopments. Warning told a repor- ter at the time the first shortage was discovered that his Collector’s funds were intact, but that he had between $25,000 and $30,000 in unredeemed tax gale certificates in the fund. The audm.only disclosed $6982 in certi- fica Following Eckert's reports on the condition of-the office, thé Reports and Salaries Committee of the Board of Supervisors, of which City Attor- (| mey Martin Drury of East St.. Louis is chairman, employed a firm of ex- pert accountants, who are making ‘}an audit of the books, beginning at 1904, and including the terms of ¥ Warning,: Paul W. Abt, Philip Wolf | pand John J. Wies.. It is this audit which is being seriously delayed by Warning’s failure to deliver the bank books, stubs and checks. It:was at the request of Drury that State’s Attorney Schaumleffel ap- plied for the search warrant, and Drury told a reporter yesterday that ynatter being presented to the grand jury now in session unless Warning pays in full. immediately. The fact that Warning was in dif- ficulty became known in November when City Treasurer Cashel of Bast St. Louis made an unsuccessful. at- tempt to obtain $13,554 which was due the city from Warning. When the Treasurer finally did send a check for the amount, it was reject- ed. .He then sent a second check, on a second bank, to cover the first check, and it also was turned down. It was then that Eckert made the audit. 3 uke Philip Gass, cashier of the First Continued on Page 2, Column , his committee would insist .on the PEACE NOW WITH RUSSIA DEMANDED BY SCHEIDEMANN Socialist. Tells Militarists They Negotiations to Fail. HE BERATES GOVERNMENT Says U-Boats Have Served Chiefly to Bring America Into War. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 26 (By A. P.). —Philip P. Scheidemann, German Social Democratic leader, in his ad- dress yesterday before the Reichstag Main Committee, following Chancel- lor von Hertling’s reply to President Wilson’s peace message, told the mil- itary leaders of the imperial Govern- ment that if they did not make peace with Russia they would be “hurled from power.”” The address, as pub- lished in the Berliner Vorwaerts, fol- lows: “The chief arguments were ad- vanced by the militarist party for the prolongation of the war, namely, the success of the U-boats and the strength of our army. But these were to have given us a decisive victory in six months, according to the an- nouncement made in 1916. Alas, that period has long since passed and while the U-boat has admittedly harmed England enormously, its chief visible effect has been the entry of America into the war. Peace But for U. 8., He Says. “If the. United States had not en- tered the war we may be sure the Russian revolution would long ago have brought a general peace. “What about the army? Suppose the army should capture Calais and Paris, would that mean peace? I say ‘ o!’ P “Suppose the army conquered France and England, would _ that mean peace? I say no, for we would still have to conquer America.” Scheidemann forcibly attacked the militarist leaders, declaring that their attitude towards Austria. was likely to lose for Germany her last friend. “Tf our Government leaders: cannot free us from these ‘patrons,’” said the Social-Democrat leader. “They had better go. I warn them that if they do not bring us peace with Rus- sia they will be hurled from their power.” Scheidemann declared that an agreement was easily possible on 11 points of President Wilson’s state- ment. “But Mr. Wilson must be told plainly,” the speaker said, “that Al- sace is Germany’s and will remain so. If one clear word is spoken re- garding Belgium, England’s war- mongering will end. An honorable, complete reinstatement of Belgium is our duty.” “IT cannot see the day,” Schelde- mann went on, “when-Germany will say to the Entente: ‘We accept your terms. We are beaten.’ But just as little can I see the day when En- gland, France and ind United States will say the same to ug.”’ Regarding relations between Ger- many and Austria, Scheidemann said an indication of the Austrian feeling toward the present German regime might be gathered from the fact that during the recent demonstrations in Vienna the Austrian Emperor was never once attacked by speakers, but that the German Emperor was open- ly and repeatedly insulted. This was due, he said, to attacks of the Ger- roan junkers on Austria. He declared the junker press had been demand- ing that “Germany should be freed from Austria.”’ Touching on President Wilson's peace terms, Scheidemann said: ‘Regarding Alsace there is nothing for us to redress. It will remain ours. But as for Belgium, let us cease meddling in Flemish politics. “Let us seek in honor to save the world from new bloodshed in the spring. Let us give up illusions on both sides. Remember that the feel- ing among our people is most serious. If you permit the Russian negotia- tions to break up and the people’s hope be disappointed what else can be expected but catastrophe?” FIRE BREAKS. OUT IN LOADED SHIP AT AN AMERICAN PIER AN ATLANTIC PORT, Jan. 26 (By A. P.).—Fire broke out on board the American steamship Deep Water, lying at a pier here, this aft- ernoon. The vessel was towed into midstream. It was said there was an explosion in a small magazine. A dense cloud of smoke spread over the city imme- diately and ambulances were sent from the naval hospital. At 3:46 o’clock the fire was still burriing but was said to be under control. Two of the city’s fireboats were alongside the Deep Water. The fire is reported to have started among grain in bags in the forward hold. It had been burning ut three quarters of an hour before the steamship was towed away from the pier to insure the safety of nearby grain elevators. The ship was mak~ ing ready to sail when the blaze was discovered. oth The ship is under control of the BASEL, Switzerland, Jan. 26. - OUNT CZERNIN, the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minis- ter, after delivering his speech in reply to the recent ad- dresses of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, indicated in* subsequent remarks, under questioning of Socialist interro- gators, that the speech had been delivered quite as much that his views might come to President Wilson’s attention as for the ben- efit of those whom he was im- mediately addressing. Count Czernin declined to elab- orate upon his utterances re- garding Italy, Rumania and Servia. “I .do not wish to return to these subjects; those who desired to understand must have under- stood,” he said to the Socialists Who complained that they had found obscurity in the passages of his speech dealing with the countries in question. On the subject of Germany, Count Czernin pointed out that her situation wag different from that of Austria, yee aly he sald, possessed not only European ter- ritory, but great colonies, and it was natural she should not sur- render the pledges she held until she had guarantees: that she would recover her possessions. Austria, he added, had less need of such pledges than her ally. It was then that Count Czernin stated that he had made his speech not only for the commit- tee’s ears, but in order that Pres- ident Wilson could hear it, Of the 200 steamships New York harbor for want of coal’ $38,500 VERDICT TO SWITCHMAN FOR LOSS OF HIS LEGS Judgment Against Terminal Rail- road Largest Ever Returned * in Federal Court Here. A jury in the United States Dis- trict Court yesterday awarded Arlie Shannon of 4061 West Pine boule- vard, formerly a switchman for the Terminal Railroad Association, $38,- 500 damages against the company for the loss of both legs in an accident in the yards at Eighth and Spruce streets last June. The judgment is the largest ever awarded in the local Federal courts in suits to recover for personal in- juries. Shannon's legs were cut off just above the knees when he was thrown under a locomotive. which ran into a switch just-as he was try- ing to throw the lever. Walter M. Hetzel of counsel for the Terminal Association, and Judge Dyer entered a heated debate at the conclusion of the trial of the case when the attorney objected to a part of the Judge’s instructions to the jury. Hetzel excepted to the Judge's re- mark to the jury that the Federal employers lability act, under ebeaeigd the case was tried, was a good and necessary statute to protect employes from fellow servant laws which ob- tain in most gtates and relieve the employer of responsibility for in- juries resulting to one workman through the negligence of another. “You may save .your exception,” Judge Dyer said to the lawyer. “But I repeat. again,” he said, pounding his desk, “that the Federal employ- ers liability act is one of the best laws . Congress ever put on the books.” NEW ORDER PERMITS SHOWS TO RUN UNTIL 11 O’CLOCK Fuel Committee Also sysname ga Orders affecting the closing of theaters, motion picture theaters and doctors’ and dentists’ offices were al- tered today by the St. Louis Fuel Committee, which issued new rulings under which the theaters, motion picture theaters, church entertain- ments, entertainments, for the benefit of the Red Cross, and lodge meetings will be permitted to remain open un- til 11 instead of 10 o’clock, begin- ning tonight. Physicians and dentists in office buildings in which it is required that the heat must be turned off at 7 o’clock will be permitted to keep their offices open until 8, though the regulation regarding the turning off of the heat was not changed. ; The change in the theater ruling is said to ‘be due to a motion picture campaign to induce Marine Corps recruiting, and the change as to doc- tors and dentists to representations by the St. Louis Medical Society that many working persons were unable to obtain treatment except in the evening. . / 200 SHIPS WHICH AWAITED Shortage at New York, Existing Be- race Wive-Dey Guapemsion of In- omg 26 (By A.

H. Aishton, president of the Chi- cago & N western Railway, and Regional Director of west of Chicago, regarding the of the free bridge by the railroads, said that he would ask Mayor Kiel to back the repeal of the ordinance which re- quires that the arbitrary be abolished by any railroad using the bridge. ‘The City Counselor said the bridge should be used and he did not be- lieve railroads would use it under the present ordinance. Rate “I look, for a settlément and the use of the bridge by the railroads,” Daues said, “either by a reduction of the rate to St. Louis and increase in the rate to East St. Louis, or by an increase of the rate to East St. Louis, bringing the rates more nearly to- gether. I believe that is the only way the railroads will agree to use the bridge." Daues said he had no information as to which rail if any, would be negotiated with, but he believed some railroad would want to use’ the bridge and a friendly proceeding could be entered into, definitely to panied the party to Chicago. Alish- ton, as representative of Director- General McAdoo, refused to consider the city’s request that the bridge be taken over by the Government for railroad use in the war cmergency, and sent the St. Louis delegation back home with instructions to deal with the railroads. This leaves the situation exactly as it was when the city was dealing with President McCheaney of © the Terminal Railroad Association, prior to the time the Government assumed control of the railroads. Aishton told the St. Louisans that there was noth- ing in Government control to prevent prt railroads from dealing with the It is considered possible that in- stead of dealing with the Termnial Association direct, the city will deal with the Missouri Pacific Railroad, which, it is. known, is desirous of using the bridge, and which believes that the bridge would be of great ad- vantage to it, Although nothing in the way of an official announcement has been made, it is not improbable that negotiations will be opened with B. F. Bush, president of the Missour1 Pacific. Such negotiations, however, would be expected to be along lines _SATORDAT BERING, JANUARY 26, 1918, INFLUENCE WILSON “HENEY CHARGES’ Inspired Bankers to Wire Presi- dent in Effort to Stop Present Inquiry, He Says. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (By A. P.).— The big packing interests were charged today by Francis J. Heney, special counsel in the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation into the meat packing industry with having attempted to bring influence to bear on President Wilson to have the present investigation stopped. Heney told the commission that he would show that a joint telegram recently sent to the President by a number of Detroit bankers protest: | ing that the investigation was dis-_ turbing economic conditions had been inspired by the packers, Heney’s statement was made in connection with the reading of fur- ther confidential documents taken from the files of the Chicago pack- ers, which showed that the packers planned an elaborate campaign in 1916 to influence; Congressmen against ordering an investigation into the livestock and meat packing in- dustry, as was proposed in the Bor- jand resolution.

Mooney, under sentence of death, in| ease the California Supreme Court sustains his conviction for complicity in the San Francisco bomb outrages, was made today by the President's Mediation Commission in a_ report to the President. The commission conducted an ex- haustive investigation of the trials of Mooney, Warren K. Billings, Mrs. Rena Mooney and Israel Weinberg. The commission reached the con- clusion that the Mooney case _ re- solved itself into a new aspect of an old industrial feud instead of a judi- cial matter. After telling of the connection of Billings and Mooney. the report points out. that Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg, facing the same evidence, were acquitted because the testi- mony of Frank Oxman, alleged per- jurer, the main witnéss of the State, was discredited before the trial. “There can be no doubt that Mooney was regarded as a labor agi- tator of malevolence by the public utilities. of Gan Francisco * * * and utilities against which he di- rected his agitation sought to ‘get’ him. se The report called attention to the international aspects the case as- sumed, beginning with protests ‘in the Western States and spreading to Russia.

The Foreign Secretary explained at some length that the Central Powers had accepted the first Russian sug- gestion for a general peace without annexations or indemnities as a basis for the negotiations, but that when the Entente Powers failed to re- spond, the situation was changed and the proposal of the Centra!

By the mn of its tribes the German Em- in Europe acquired a position bonding to its economic and wral achievements and the claims ithereon. Bismarck crowned ™s work by the alliance with Aus- "-Hungary. It was purely a de- Pensive alliance, so conceived and Willed by the exalted allies from the Not even the slightest thought pa misuse for aggressive aims ever ei duty had Germany remained a calm spectator of this game and had we not also endeavored to create an armament which would protect us against future enemies. I may, per- haps, recall that I, as a member of the Reicnstag, very frequently spoke on these matters and on the occa- | sion of new expenditure on arma- | ment, pointed out that the German | people, in consenting to these, sole- ly desired tc pursue a policy of peace and such armaments were only im- | posed upon us to ward off the dan- ser threatening from a possible en-| emy.

They speak with re- spect of Germany’s position, but their conception, ever afresh, finds expres- ‘sion as if we were the guilty who must do penance and promise im- provement. Thus speaks the victor the vanquished; he who inter- prets all our former expressions of a readiness for peace as merely a sign of weakness. “The leaders of the Entente must renounce this standpoint and this deception.

Statements made to detectives grand jury yesterday, tended to the place in advance Pot the two they had opened fire on the bar. It was at first supposed that Mount was shot by a third man who stood |in the cigar stand at the front of the saloon. George Kollas, a clerk in the City Collector’s office, while waiting | to be calléd before the grand jury | told of a man who stood near at the end of the bar farthest from the cigar stand. When the gun men entered Kollas. He noticed that a “little man” | dropped to the floor. He heard shots | near him and heardea voice say “I got him.” The Circuit Attorney's “little man” near This would explain why the bullet which killed Mount ranged up- ward after striking him in the left cheek. A shot fired from the cigar stand at closer quarters would have struck him more squarely and on the right side of the head.

It was remarkable | to hear how hé subdued his powerful | modern instrument to the accents of a music of gossamer daintiness; how he made strings capable of storm an. tempest sing in the murmurs of a i zephyr. As was historically and ar-— tistieally correct, he abstained ai- most entirely from the loud pedal and freely used the soft one, but the | ‘attitude adopted by the Bolshevik outstanding miracle of this perforin- ance was the feathery lightness and . vet the unflecked lucidity of his touch, Yet to some ears there was in the epirit of his playing a taint of modern feeling out of place ‘n the unclouded classicism of Mozart.

The order was issued last Sunday afternoon and was signed by Bopp and Charles Autenrieth, secretary and treasury of the organization. It applied to the 70 association saloons in the county. Fuel Administrator Hlodgdon followed it up with an or- der for all the 147 saloons in the county to close at that hour, but re- scinded it Monday night. Bopp’'s explanation at the meeting was that Hodgdon had said that he had information that State Adminis- trator Crossley was going to close the saioons at 7 o'clock. and suggested that the association could make a hit with the public by beating him to it. Some of the members did not accept the explanation and charged that Bopp had issued the order for per- sonal advantage. ignation had been tabled the meeting broke up in confusion.

Introducing Western readers to an Eastern biographer and includinz anew series of war sidelights en- titled “On Bellona’s Hem.” Elemental Injustice. NOVEL of great power, in its A simple portrayal of elemental] feelings, is ‘“‘The Cabin.” by V. | Elasco Ibanez, published as one of the Borzoi Spanish Translations, The power of community prejudice ond ill will, to break and destroy the ‘individual, is the theme of the story. This prejudice is the more irresisti- ble and merciless, since it has its origin in a commendable feeling of resentment at a past injustice. But in applying its decree, the commun- ity takes no note of the utter inno- cence of the immediate victim. A rural neighborhood in the Span- ish province of Valencia is the Here, amid a fruitful] zroup of irrigated Plantations, is one on which the curse of the community has been placed. Its owner. a grasp- ing usurer, years ago took unfair advantage of a faithful tenant and drove him forth in poverty. Indig- nant at the wrongs of their neigh- bor, the surrounding farmers deter- mined that the place should not be | rented to anyone else. Their threats keep the place va-. The old owner les, | cant for years. and his sons inherit the property, but the neighbors do not relax their boy - (cott. When the hard-working Bap 'tiste moves in and begins to restore the rundown plantation, only his strong arms protect him against im- mediate violence. Persecution is jn- cessant, and is relaxed only when one of Baptiste’s children dies from illness caused by abuse from othe- children. Even this compassion js short-lived, and the unhappy. Bap. tiste is hounded to his ruin. A very interesting introduction re- ‘views the Spanish literary field. Spanish literature, like Other forms of Spanish life, is viewed as intense- ly provincial and local. each part of Spain having its own distinct literzry expression. (Knopf.) | -_- UNIONISM TED.

BIBLE LOVE STORIES IN SLANG. HE same reasoning that justi- T fies Billy Sunday and’ his evan- gelical metiiode mav be in- voked to justify the amazing lib- erties he has taken with Biblical ro- mances to produce the volume pub- lished under the title, ‘“‘Love Stories .of the Bible.” The defenders of Sunday say he does a great, work be- cause he talks in the language of a certain class of persons who would not otherwise be reached and appeals to them in words and expressions they understand. To thosé persons, his ‘“‘Love Stories of the Bible” prob- ably will have a very stirring mes- sage. They are, indeed, typical Billy Sunday sermons. But to the familiar reader of the Bible, to the man or woman who does not require that the solemn, ennobling lessons of the Scriptures be purveyed in the slang of the chorus and the prize ring, “Love Stories of the Bible” is grat- ing and irritating Hebrew poets they are incomparable in the loftiness of their expression and sound the depths of human un- derstanding and sympathy conception and construction.

Abra- had and Sarah, Ruth and Naomi, Inaac and Rebecca, Joseph and Poti- phar’s wife, Samson and Delilah and David and Abigail all are made to speak in the slang of today.

In~ returning his contract, Koob wrote that he had heard nothing more’ concerning his application for enlistment and consequently was wil- ling to pitch for the Browns until he was called. Just how long the little southpaw can remain with the club remains to be seen.

But I am inclined to think he has done as well as could be expected, and that the average of his performances compares very well with that of former heavyweights who in their time were numbered among the champions. Record Compares Favorably. Fulton’s . fighting averages very well with that of former topnotch heavyweights as the following exam- ples will show:, John L. Sullivan, daddy of them all, was knocked flat on his back by lit- tle Charlie Mitchell. Mitchell was_no more than a middleweighs, and a title middleweight at that. He fought a 39-round draw (London Prize Ring rules)” with this same Mitchell in France, and took 75 rounds to beat Kilrain. Sullivan knocked\out scores of men in a round or two, but he had his bad fights. Corbett was ekiliful, quite as game as any fighter needs to be, and had intelligence. But he fought a few poor fights both before and after win- ning the championship. Sharkey, when a raw sailor, calee so near put- ting Corbett out in a rough four- round bout in San Francisco that the last round was cut short about half a minute to save the champion. Sharkey couldn’t box at all. But he mauled the boxer all over the ring and never gave Corbett a chance to do anything. / Corbett’s second fight with Sharkey was another flivver. In the ninth round Corbett was so near- ly: done for that Connie McVey, his second, jumped into the ring to let him lose on a foul. J effries Returned to Coast After Criticism of First’ Eastern Fight would have been good iw Australia. Jess Willarg furnishes the greatest example of an in-and-out boxer of real ability. His record is far ‘tess impressive ‘than Fulton’s. Before he became ‘champion, Wilard was as un- certain a proposition as could be faund among the big men of the ring. He quit in a bout with Joe Cox— never much of a heavyweight. Wil- lard says he quit under compulsion, being chucked into jail in the small country town where the fight was held, ang told he would be kept there for months on a charge of “prise- poo unless he agreed to “lie wh.” In New York he knocked out Sailor White in a round, Soldier Kearns in eight rounds, and boxed ten rounds each with Pelky and McCarty. In these early fights he showed a lot of ability. But out West he fought a four-round draw with Charlie Mil- ler, a motorman, who made the mis- take of thinking he was a boxer, and was beaten by little Gunboat Smith in twenty rounds. This last affair. Wilard’s huge bulk, was a joke. e boxed the poorest ten rounds ever seen in a New York each of the giants was desperately afraid of each other. round decision over Willard in Ohio. eT was another joke. Afterward Willard knocked out Dan Daly, a giant like himself, in nine rounds. and little George Rodel in six.

Willie also won two games of three- cushions from “Pete” but his show- ing yesterday was far below that of the previous day when he averaged better than two.

Records Put Krewinghaus and Rood on Even Terms in Bowling Tourney: Figures on the Greater St. Louis individual tournament, béing staged on Peterson's alleys, and which will be decided next week as far as the champion is concerned, bring to light some interesting facts on Lou Krewinghaus and Harry Rood, the contenders for the title. Krewing- haus at present has 75 points against 71 for Rood, who won the honors last season. The “dope” shows that Krewing- haus fattened up his record at the expense of Herman Grosse and J. Kopp, the two tenpinners, who de- feated Rood. Against Grosse Krew- finghaus landed 12 points and in his battle with Kopp 11. Rood was able to tack only five points to his record tn his clashes with these two bowlers. However to show just how closely these two tenpinners have been roll- ing this season the following is sub- mitted: Krewinghaus ras won 41 games out of 66; has added 21 points for winning matches and 13 for total pins; Rood has won 87 games; 18 points for matches and 16.for total pins, he having outclassed his rivals in this respect every match. Krew- inghaus has been beaten for total pins once and tied on another occa- sion. Krewinghaus Beaten Once. Just one bowler has been able to trim Krewinghaus to date. He was Emil Hilker, the second week of the tournament. Hilker counted 1361 a@tinst his rivals’ 1337 and chalked up 10 points. R landed 10 points — Hilker, getting 1386 against ven. in the matter of total pins is the pair of championship contend- ers just about as close as any pair — be.

For, incred- ible though it may seem, whose very nickname of job. Evers is a “free agent” and fair ‘game for any machine needing a spark plug. Although 34 years of age, it was only four seasons ago that he proved himself worth all of the $20,000 that Boston had to pay to land his services. When, hitting on “high,’’ the Braves rode over all rivals into World’s Pennantville, Johnny -Evers was. given quits as much credit as Manager George Stallings. But today, although every club buf the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees appears to want 4a/| second baseman, nobody wants Evers —not even the Browns. - * * Is Evers an Outcast? OOKING for a reason, the situa- tion appears to present. this question: Is Evers, or merely his welcome, worn out? For three years injuries kept John- ny off the inner defenses for more than half the season. Although he is 84 years old, he would still seem to be a capable ball player. But they amputated the heart out of “Brains” when they took away his freedom of speech. Too many eav- age attacks involving league heads resulted in trimming his comment. And stopping Johnny’s tongue on the ball field’ seems equivalent to stop- ping his motor, An Evers Idea. HE real Evers is reflected in a recent suggestion made by him : advocating that Old Fashioned base tournament against Fred Utley, walle Krewinghaus had 1892 for high this coming against Grosse. The low to- tal for the present leader was 1322, while Rood had only 12°9 in his bat- tle with Grosse. In order to win the champlonship when they hook up next week, Rood will have to add nine points to his credit. .This would make the final standings Rood 80 points; Krewing- haus 78. If Roog gains only seven, the count would be Krewinghaus 80; Rood 78: So no matter what happens, the battle between this aw a should be worth while. City Tournament Opens. The city scratch © championship tournament, with 90 teams entered, opens tonight on the Congress alleys, with eight teams from the Missouri Pacific League as the contenders. Only one squad of quintets will roll, start- ing at 7 o’clock. The teams and cap- tains are as follows: , Operating Department, C. M. Hop- lon; Car Accountants No. 3, J. Breen; Freight Claims, W..L.

There’s too nruch of a parior atmosphere about the sport, today.” That’s about the answer te why Johnny Evers wants a job, we take it. . + * In the Good Old Days. \ OME ofd fashioned features to}: which we might refer as typical of the balmy days of the game might be the following: Fining the umpire 85 for ex- pectorating in a bail player's face. . Slipping your wife a new dress to. stay away from the ball park so that she won't be shocked. Trying to find a perk policeman when the home fans mob an of- fending umptre. Calling an ambulance after an “amp” has incautiously ven- tured within the pop bottle sone. Pleading with the grandstand waiter not to spill ALL of Chris von der Ahe’s beer in your lap. Having the voice treated fol- lowing a game in which a home player was spiked. Suspending Johnny Evers, Trying to get home from a game in time for a hot supper. These, were some of the pleasant aftermaths of the good old days when baseball was playei by baiting, bulldozing and Billingsgate. o * * A One-Sided Staff. T’S terrible to contemplate what may happen, next baseball sea- son, when the White Sox oppose the Browns—that is unless more left hand pitchers are acquired ° by the St. Louis club.

This Year’s Food Production. Te the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. It has occurred to me that there are a great many men in my profession—law- yer—and possibly in other professions throughout this country who could devote at least two days per week from May 1 ‘to Oct. 1 toward making the soil producé the maximum amount. of food products. This can be done either by each man rent- ing an acre 6r two of ground and planting ‘game in potatoes, tomatoes, Deans and othr er garden produce, or by assisting néigh- boring farmers at least two days per week, | and during harvest time at least two weeks, during the crop season. During the summer months the courts are in vacation and the avérage lawyer has but little to do, and therefore could devote this time to agriculture without a ’ great sacrifice of his business. By so doing he will improve his own health, relfeve the food shortage and render a patriotic serv- ice to his country. Lawyers who take up this work will be more benefited than by playing golf, ten- nis or by any other means of exercise that office men resort to, and at the same time be doing their “bit” toward winning the war. They can notify thefr clients that they will not be in their office on certain days—say Friday and Saturday—during crop season, and by so doing lose but lit- tle business. I will rent two acres of land in or con- venient to St. Louis for the next crop sea- son, if it can be had, and if I can get a team to break it up and plow it two or three times, and will, with my own labor, tend same in garden produce. If this can- not be done I will assist some farmer con- venient to the city as above outlined dur- ing the next crop season. The winning of this war depends in a great measure upon the amount of our farm products. The boys at the front must be fed. The civilian population of both America and Europe must be fed, and the more food we produce the cheaper food will be both in thts country and Eu- rope. What do you say, brother lawyers? Who will be the next to volunteer his services in making the soll produce the maximum amount of food and feed?. OTIS L. CLONTS, 614 Navarre Bldg. Packed Cars and Collisions. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. Another street car collision occurred to- day. Another miracle attended it that the ‘score or more hurt were not killed out- right. If we go to the theater and stand in the aisle we are told it is against the law, which is entirely right. A street car will admit people as long as there is a possible crack in it where a human being can squeeze. It has bars on both sides and patent doors on both ends, with a stove in the front. had should we be compelled to wait unt insisting that the manner in which these cars are crowded shall be at lenst regu- ’ lated to a point which will guarantee the ready passing through the aisies and ends? “CITIZEN.” A Subway Imperatively Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is doubtful that a settlement of the ’ street railways controversy will result in the desired relief from traffic congestion. A settlement may carry its advantages for the city and company alike, but the only object it will not accomplish—and, the most important, as we see it—is freedom. from the inconveniences and hardships so long suffered by a patient public. A street car aystem built for the year 1806 is almost worthless in 1918. Our street car system haw not kept pace with the growth of the city and the great in-| ‘crease in population. © The Olive street line perhaps is the only system in the city operating cars at rea- sonable intervals, and yet, one has but to observe that even it ls inadequate to handle _the mase of people meant to be served by that system. The «ame congestion exists on other lifes both north and south, al- though those lines ds not run cars on 80 Relief must come and the only practical we can see-—one that will take struction of a subway system, owned and ‘ated by the city.. We should have @ system and the sooner our people begin the work, the better. NO} surface congestion can be ard a will not again require m few years.

Le >. =—— = THE FIGHTING IRISHMAN. There may be some slackers fn Ireland but the “fightenest” of them all. Statistics of the national army recently compiled*® by Provost- Marshal Crowder prove it conclusively. Under the regulations of the first draft aliens residing in the United States could get exemption from service merely by asking for it. One in every three Irishmen called waived his claim to a Germans and Bulgarians were the least inclined Only one Of more than 90,000 Austro-Hungarians called only 13,000 accepted service and the greater por- tion of these were Bohemians, Czechs, Slovaks and kindred races that have been at odds with Vienna for generations. More than 1600 Turks out of 13,000 called entered the service a fairly good showing for a non-military people. One of the surprising things was the showing of the French and the English atiens in this coun- try. Only one in five of the allied nationals ac- cepted service. the number of Germans, 928. In justice to the Britons it should be stated that | after the draft when England established recruit | ing stations in America, they came in large num- bers to enlist and many crossed into Canada for the same purpose. = . i from the lips of von Hertling but the words are from Hindenburg, Ludendorff and the Junkers, = = rr A PESSIMISTIO VIEW. Americans should take a large amount of salt along with Col. Repington’s pessimistic statement of the military situation on the Western front. While the Colonel stands out as one of the fore- most of Britain’s military critics, his natural grievances against the present administration put him in somewhat the same class as a few of the better known fault-finders we have at home, He declares that the German armies along the Franco-Flanders line outnumber the Allies and deals in estimates of divisions. But there is every reason to believe that the average personnel of a German division is today much less than it was formerly, so there is nothing conclusive in such figures, However, even if it be conceded that the Teutonic Powers have a slight numerical su- periority—which by no means must be conceded— it does not follow that they have any such pre- ponderance as will insure them a victory. They vastly outnumbered and outweighed in guns the French and British in their colossal offensive of 1914 and had the additional adv antage of surprise, but they could not win.

Repington nor anybody else has any adequate data as to the comparative weights of men and material that the opposing sides will be able to bring to the battle of the next few months.

LAUOON: Ah, Socrates! We have been hop- (5 ing to see you. Socrates: That is indeed sweet of you. However it was not to pass compliments that you hoped to see me. Glaucon: No, Socrates. We wondered, after con- templating the spectacle of world topsy-turvy, what is, in your opinion to be the end of it all. Socrates: I guessed as much. There is one thing by this time pretty plain, I think. Glaucon: What is that? Socrates: It is pretty plain, don’t you think, that a new law for nations is about to prevail. Polemarchus: That is, the world has become more of a community than it ever has been. Socrates: Exactly. That same individualism which is so rapidly going by the board: for individuals is also going out for nations. Thus, while national in- dividualism could up to within a short while ago operate with entire freedom so long as it did not seek to prey upon itself, no such thing is possible today. Thrasymachus: Precisely. The age which produced the British empire and John D. Rockefeller, who are the same thing in no more than different forms, ended with the outbreak of the war. Socrates: Yes. It was passing before that. The wonder is that Germany did not see it. Glaucon: Perhaps she did see it, and thought to forestall it. Socrates: I believe that is in a way true. However, the great forces moving over the earth cannot be stemmed by armed might. .- Glaucon: She sees that now, I think. Socrates: Let us hope so. If she does, the end of the war may be in sight. Thrasymachus: Who knows? Somebody said the other day that there was a time when the Germans might have taken Russia, but they appeared on the ' geene too late. Socrates: Yes. It may become necessary for her to take part of Russia to find out what that means, but she will find it out. Polemarchus: It is probably just as well we got this country from the Indians before our responaibil- ity to the world became.too great. Socrates: I think so.

There let those billows try to soften doom, The leaden years, no charme can ever lUft, But sink and sink with Time inte the tombd, Crushed thence in anguish, echoes of my Love adrift On mimto emiles, falee joys in endless quest That only Death may bring at last to reset.

The victim’s relations and friends in Blighty will never know that he was executed; they will be under the impression that he died doing his bit for King and country. In the public casualty lists his name will appear under the caption “Accidentally Killed,” or ‘‘Died.”’ The day after the execution I re- ceived orders to report back to the line, and to keep a still tongue in my head. Executions are a part of the day’s work but the part we hated most of I think—certainly the saddest. Department is thought by mapy people to be com- posed of rigid regulations all wound But it has a heart, and one of the evidences of this is the considerate way in which an execution is concealed and report- ed to the relative of the unfortunate man. They never know the truth. He is listed in the bulletins as among tthe ‘accidentally killed.” In. the last 10 years I have several times read stories in magazines of cowards changing, in a charge, to he- roes. I used to laugh at it. It seemed easy for story-writers but I said, ‘Men aren’t made that way.”’ But over in France I learned once that the streak of yellow can turn all white. I picked up the story, bit by bit, from the Captain of the com- pany, the sentries who guarded the poor fellow, as well as from my own observations. At first I did not real- ize the whole of his story, but after a week of investigation it stood out as clear in my mind as thé moun- tains of my native West in the spring It impressed me so much that I wrote it all down in rest billets on odd scraps of paper. The inci- dents are, as I say, every bit true; the feelings of the man are true—lI know from all I underwent in the fighting in France. We will call him: Albert Lloyd. That wasn’t his name, but it will do: Albert Lloyd was what the world terms a coward. In London they called him a slack- er. His country had been at war near- ly 18 months, and still he was not in khaki. He had no good reason for not en- listing, being alone in the world, having been educated in an orphan asylum; and there being no one de- pendent upon him for support; and there being no g00d po- sition to lose, and there was no sweetheart to tell him with her lips to go, while her 2 pleaded for him to stay. sy CE ie oe | Every time he saw a recruiting Sergeant, he'd slink around the cor- ner out of sight, with a terrible fear | gnawing at his heart. When passing the big recruiting posters, and on his way to business and back he passed many, he would pull down his cap and look the other day, to get away from that awful finger pointing at him, under the caption, “Your King d.Country Need You;” or the bor- ing eyes of Kitchener, which burned into his’ very soul, causing him to shudder. _.

Arriving in France, he and the rest were huddled into cattle cars. On the side of each appeared in white letters, “‘Chevaux 8, Hommes 40.’’ After hours of bumping over the un- even French roadbeds they arrived at the training base of Rouen. At this place they were put through a week’s rigid training in trench warfare. On the morning of the eighth day they paraded at 10, o’clock and were inspected and passed by Gen. H then were marched to the Quartermaster’s to draw their gas helmets and trench equipment. At 4 in the afternoon they were again hustled into cattle cars. This time the journey lasted two days. They disembarked at the town of Frevent, and could hear a distant dull booming. With knees shaking, Lloyd asked the Sergeant what the noise was, and nearly dropped when the Sergeant replied in a somewhat bored tone: “Oh, them’s the guns up the line. We'll be up there in a couple o’ days or so. Don't worry, my laddie, you'll see more of ’em than you want before you get ’ome to Blighty again, that is, if you’re lucky enough to get back. Now lend a hand there unloadin’ them cars, and quit that everlastin’ shakin’: I believe yer scared.’ The last with a contempt- uous sneer. They marched 10 kilos, full pack, to a little dilapidated village, and the sound of the guns grew louder, constantly ‘louder. Flees Under Fire. The village was full of soldfers who turned out to inspect the new draft, the men who were shortly to be their mates in the trenches, for they were going “up the line” on the morrow, to ‘take over’ their certain sector of trenches. The draft was paraded in front of battalion headquarters, and the men were assigned to companies. Lloyd was the-only man assigned to D Company. in charge of the draft had something to do with it, for he called Lloyd aside, and said: “Lioyd, you are going to a new company. No one knows you. Your bed will be as you make it, so for God's sake, brace up and be a man. I think you have the stuff in you, my boy, so good-by, and the best of luck to you.” The next day the battalion took over their part of the trenches. It happened to be a very quiet day. The artillery behind the lines was still, except for an occasional shell sent over to let the Germans know the gunners were not asleep. In the darkness, in single file, the company slowly wended their way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lioyd’s white and drawn face.

This club, composed of the | best bridge players not only in New ‘York, but also in Other large cities, is the body which promulgates the rules of the game and the Card Com- mittee is the committee which in- itiates and formulates changes in ithe rules.

So the Weather Man is playing true to ancient form in sending weeks of ice and snow to tie up transportation and coal at a time when transportation and coal are most necessary to our country’s war activities. pany in the trenches, Lioyd, with two of the old company men, was put on guard in one of the traverses, Not a shot was fired from the Ger- man lines, and no one paid any at- tention to him crouched on the firing | step. ’ On the first time in, a new recruit is not’ required to stand with his head “over the top.” He only “sits it out,” while the older men keep watch. At about 10 o’clock, all of a sud- den, he thought hell had broken loose, and crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as he imagined, right in their trench, when in fact they were landing about a hundred yards in rear of them, in the second lines. One of the older men on guard, turning to his mate, said: “There goes Fritz with damned trench mortars again. about time our artillery ‘taped’ them, and sent over a few.

Just keep your eye peeled, Dick, ORK has written many books on whist and auction bridge, His latest book is ‘“‘Auction Declarations.” Although recognized the country he has never devoted his time exclusively to the game, but up until now has been a very busy prac- ticing attorney. Cards have been his diversion, and he has studied the various games ever since his college days in the early §0’s. On Nov. 1 he started on a tour cf the principal cities of the United States with the hope of raising a fund of $100,000 for the Red Cross in a year. He estimates that when he leaves St. Louis Sunday night the fund will have totaled $35,000. He is paying his expenses out of his own pocket and here, as in other cities, a local conimittee handles all the re- ceipts, which are turned over to the local Red Cross chapter.

The men here are good players but not exceptional. The good game played here is largely attribut- able to a former St. Louisan, Bry- ant McCampbell, who about two years ago moved to New York. He tanks among the foremost bridge players in the world—in fact I would not put anybody above him—and his playing here put the game of St. Louisans on a high level.’ Among the women at whose homes and who struction as given by Work are Mrs. Charles Parsons Pettus of 33 West- moreland place, Mrs. .

For the purpose of the tournaments he had bridge players from all oved the country send -him their best hands. In all he received 4°25. He boiled these down to what he considered the 24 best hands.

Work saves the score sheets and at the end of the tour he expects to tabulate them, determining the rel- ative standing of the players in va- rious cities, and publish the resuls in a book for the benefit of the Red Cross.

Try It.: HEN next you go to, the zoo, watch the monkeys use their hands, suggests the Popular Science Monthly for February. Notice how they seize things with their fists. They do not use their finger ends as we do. While the higher monkeys, such as gofillas and chimpanzees may be taught to use their fingers, they never learn to use them as easi- ly as do human beings. The monkey is primarily a tree dweller. It lives in forests and swings from tree to tree, using its hands as hooks with which it grasps the branches. The thumb is not brought into play. Some South American monkeys have lost. the thumb through disuse; all that is left of it is indicated by a little lump under the skin. In the higher monkeys the wrist is built like yours. It has the same number of bones. But the monkey has never used his wrist, and so it has lost the flexibility. The monkey can use ite feet to better advantage than its hands. Man, on the other hand, has used his feet so long simply for the pur- pose of walking that he would ez- perience considerable difficulty in using them as he uses his hands. Yet, it is amazing how quickly a man can learn to use his toes as he does his fingers. If you don't be- lieve this, just try to write with your toes. At first the letters will be very large and awkward. But with a little practice you will find that you can write with your foot more easily than with your left hand, if yow are naturally right-handed, It is an attractive exercise with which to while away an hour.
