HOTORMAN KILLED NA CAR WRECK RAN PAST SIDING Smoke Hid Local From View of Driver of Limited, East St. Louis Inquest Reveals. ‘BLAME “UNDETERMINED Man im Charge of ae Testi- fies and Hearing Closes Until Testimony taken today at Hast St. Louis into the death of James D. Johnson, motorman of the Lebanon limited of the East St. Louis & Sub- urban Electric Railway, from injuries received Saturday forenoon in a col- hurt, disclosed. that it was due to Johnson running past the Pontiac switch and to a smoke screen which hid the local from him on the straight track until he was close to Whether his running past the switch was due to forgetfulness of orders or a dispatcher’s mistake is not yet known. The dispatcher, Charles B. Bousher, was not on hand 'to testify and the inquest. was ad- journed to next Monday for his tes- timony and that of Arthur U. Greg- ory, conductor of the limited, who was seriously injured and is still in a) dazen condition at his home. Saw Limited Approaching. Isaac Hershey, motorman of the testified that he obtained a tion, to meet the limited at Prairie Mine switch at Pontiac. As he ap- proached Pontiac, he said, smoke and steam from ‘a switch engine on the siding blew fitfully across the track and cut off his view. Through a rift in the smoke, as he approached the switch, he saw the limited coming about half a mile away. As he slowed to do into the siding the smoke settled again. He had no doubt, he said, that Johnson had seen him and anyway would stop under his meet orders until the track was clear. A short distance west of the switch, he said, the smoke lifted again, and he saw the limited,’ comni- ing at full speed, had passed the switch. Sparks thrown by the wheels showed that Johnson was trying to stop the limited. his car almost to a stop and stepped off before the crash. The cars tele- scoped and ran westward 300 to 400 feet before they stopped. Hershey helped extricate Johnsen, who was conscious, and reported the accident to ‘the dispatcher. He safd it was his opinion that he saw the limited before Johnson could see the local because the local was a lower car, Hershey brought’ HARDEN INDORSES " WILSON’S AIMS AND’ Continued From Pace One; to President Wilson. The statement, it is said, was greeted with loud cheers by its hearers, but was re: ceived with an outb of rage and contumely by pan- ermans, whose fury it brought to a climax. - The idea of any exchange of opinions be- tween Austria and America {x criti- cised bitterly and, according to Count Reventlow, can only be re- garded as ; ORES ee Germany's life interests." Allusions papers that Count von Roedern, Sec- retary of the Treasury, is one of the four men responsible for Germany's position is said to concern a financial memorandum he is said to have sub- mitted to the Emperor. One report of the incident declares that he warned the Emperor that the finan- cial situation of Germany wag such that a further development of -offen- sive operations was inadvisable. ;It was reported from Holland thai the pan-German Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin had been suspended for pub- lishing a violent article under thé heading “Austria Must doned.”” The Cologne Gazette's Vienna cor- xespondent says that Count Czernin informed the Austrian delegations Saturday that the text of his speech on the war aims already was for- warded to President Wilson before its delivery. : This paper says that the statement has caused an enormous sensation and confirms the belief that Count Czernin’s references to the United States were to actual steps taken to bring about an exchange of views be- tween the Western Powers and Rus- sia and Germany. Addressing the Foreign Affairs i'Committee of the Reichsrath Satur- day Count Czernin, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Centra! News, referred frankly to the differ- ences in the Austrian and German war aims. He explained that Ger- many wanted to get her colonies back and obviously could not con- sent to abandon occupied territories before securing guarantees for the restitution of her possessions. Aus- tria, however, was differently situ- ated. She stood everywhere on en- emy territory: except in Eastern Ga- licia. News From Germany Indicates An- other Political Hornet’s Nest. LONDON, Jan. 28 (By A.. P.).— What news has been permitted to pass the German censor indicates that a political hornet’s nest again has been stirred up in Germany. A dispatch from Zurich to the Ex- change Telegraph Co. quotes the Berlin correspondent of the Frank- furter Zeitung as saying that the Pan-Germans are “kicking up a tre- mendous row’ and declaring that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gen. von Ludendorff, dissatisfied with -Chancellor von Hertling’s speech before the Main Committee of the Reichstag, again are talking of retiring.

Vorwaerts joins in the controversy that has arisen in the -German press as to whether Count Czernin’s peace invi- tation to President Wilson, is indica- tive of a break in the Austro-Ger- man alliance. Pan-German papers think that it is, but Vorwaerts points to thé “wejghty”. phrase in Von Kuehlmann’s speech—"We are in agreement with Count Czernin,” as proving, contrary to the pan-German assumption, that fraternal’ kiss for President Wilson received the German Government’s blessing in advance.” ' Again complaining of German Chancellor von Hertling’s ambiguity, Vorwaerts qutlines ita. own program, baged on “the honest right of self- determination for fhe Eastern peo- ples, including the right to rejoin Russia; the complete re-establish- ment of the independence of Belgium and the return of her French terri- tory on the sole condition that France | Main Committee of | .

Large orders for Lewis guns have been given. We are advised, however, by Gen. Persh- ing that he does not desire Lewis guns for use on land. Gen. Pershing and his staff desire them only for aircraft. “In the meantime,” said Baker, “the French Government is able to supply us with light French guns and heavy Hotchkiss guns for the troops that are abroad and that will be sent for the present. “We have ordered all the Lewis guns we could get and have encoir- aged the company t6 extend its plant for increased production. It has not yet begun to expand to the extent we would like. Our army abroad’ is provided with the guns it has elec- ‘ted as adapted to its use, and our supply is to supplement that.” Obviously, he said, there were not a8 many machine guns for camp training as was to be desired, but he read a table showing that on Nov. 1! each camp or cantonment had been shipped 30 Colt, 36.

Recently there has been a marked decrease in the number of allied mer- chant ships sunk by submarines. The explanation for this is found in the withdrawal of submarines in prep- faration for the coming thrust on land and sea.

A telegram from Dr. Hornsby regarding camp condi- tions Senator Chamberlain assailed, disclosed them as “greatly im- proved,” with mortality reduced and: “ample accommodations for all sick,” \| Secretary Baker read a letter from Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, the writer, who has a son in the service, commending hospital conditions she | er | *8id she was tmpressed by Senator pCnemberiain’s “tragic letters." “Number of Cases Small.” / “But I feel the mothers of the country should know,” wrote Mrs. Rinehart, “that the number of such cases is small.

The of women nurees is seri- ous, But of cruelty and indifference I have found nothing. Ninety-nine out of a hundred boys are receiving better eare than they could afford at home.” “And I wish to point out further,” ded Secretary to deliver to the Secretary of War the names of the persons who wrote the dramatic letters telling of brutal | = treatment to dead and dying soldiers in army camps. These are the letters which the) Senator read during a speech last Thursday, replying to President Wi- son. “I will not give the names unless the writers of the letters consent.’ said the Senator. “The intention of the Secretary of War may be of the utmost sincerity, in- his desire to fasten responsibility upon those who are to blame, Those who are really guilty would trace thé cases and at- tempt to impeach the dead and their friends."’ The Secretary has said that two or three cases of the, kind mentioned have occurred before and that offi- cers have been courtmartialed and punished. He says ‘he is’ anxious to investigate the circumstances detailed in the letters. He does not know if these are the same cases that have alrgady been REACION. BAKER PREDICTS UBOAT DRIVE ON U.

(Secret telegram of Parisian Am- bassador, Feb. 26) March 11, 1917 (No. 168. My answer to telegram No. 167.) “The Government of the French republic wishing to confirm the im- portante and meaning of treaties en- tered into with the Russian Govern- ment in 1915, as to object of regulat- ing at the end of the present war the status of Constantinople and _ the Straits, in accordance with Russian wishes, is ready to preserve for its allies. all guarantees with ‘regard to military safety of the empire, »which recognizes the complete freedom of Russia to determine her western boundaries. ISVOLSKY.”’ Plans as to Dardanelles. In the three appended documents is contained the dispositions of the allies for the settlement of the ques- tion of Constantinople and the Dar- danelles. These are, perhaps, the least secret of the documents made public by Trotzky, in the sense that their context had been @ matter of fairly common knowledge from the beginning. Agreement as to and the Straits. “(Second political division.) formation.) “On the 19th of February (March 4, 1915) the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs handed a memorandum to the French and British Ambassadors in which was defined the position as to annexation to Russia of the follow- ing territories, as the result of the present war: The city of Constan- tinople; the western shores of the Bosphorus, Marmor Sea and the Dar- danelles; Southern Frigia, to the line of Enos-Media; the shores of Asia Minor, batween Bosphorus, the River Samarra and a point of Ismid Gulf to be subsequently defined; the islands of Marmor Sea and the islands of Imbros and Tenedos. The special rights of England and France within the limits of aforesaid terri- tories to remain undisturbed. “The French as well as the En- glish Governments expressed their assent to the fulfillment of our de- sires in the event of a successful ter- mination of the war and the -satis- faction of a series of demands of France and England within the lim: its of the Ottoman empire as well as in other places. These demands in so far as they refer to Turkey are sub- stantially as follows: “The recognition of Constantinople as a free port for the transit of mer- chandise not coming from or going to Russia, and the freedom of pass- age through the Straits of merchant ships. “The recognition of English and French rights in Asiatic Turkey sub- ject to specific definition in a special agreement between France, England and Russia. “The preservation of sacred Mo- hammedan places and of Arabia, un- der the independent Mohammedan rule. “The inclusion within the English sphere of influence of the Persian neutral zone created by the treaty of 1907 between England and Russia.” Reservations by Russia. In recognizing these claims as in general subject to satisfaction the K.ussian Government nevertheless made certain reservations: “With respect to formulation’ of our wishes in connection with sacred Mohammedan places it is necessary to define now whether these places will remain under the administra- tion of Turkey with the retention by the Sultan of the titles of Caliph, or is it the intention to create new and independent governments? In our opinion it would be desirable to sep- arate the Caliphate from Turkey. At all events, the freedom of pilgrimage is to be insured. “In agreeing to the inclusion of neutral zone of Persia within the English sphere of influence the Rus- sian Government considers it only just to state that the region of the cities Iphsagan and Jezda shall be confirmed to Russia, as well as a strip of the neutral zone which cuts in the shape‘of a wedge between Russian and Afghan boundaries and reaching the boundary itself to Zul- phogar, shall be included within the Russian sphere of influence. “The Russian Government also considers desirable at the same time to reach the solution of the question as to the territory of Northern Af- ghanistan continguous to Russia. in line with its wishes expressed in the negotiations of 1914. “After the entrance of Italy into the war our wishes were commun!- cated to the Italian Government. which expressed its assent oh its own behalf on condition that, in the event of successful termination of the war, the Italian claims in gen- eral, and specifically in the East. be satisfied, and on recognition by Italy within the limits of territories ceded by us of identical rights as possessed by England and France.” Confident of French Constantinople (In- aren elas Ot ED eR ane re Se eA gcd OAEL pest _ 6 Supe 29 ee uh aT nt opr Ree oe revolution was in full swing at Pet- | Foreign Affairs in Paris.

For me personally, the as- surance of Delcasse, in which I have the deepest confidence, is quite suf- ficient, but for the Imperial Gov- ernment more specific declarations are desirable as to the agreement of France to the complete fulfillment of our desires, similar to that made by the Government of Great Britain. “SAZONOFF.” (Secret telegram of Minister of Continued on Next Page. , = -— _.

Bell Telephone Company ‘|German military atrocities GERMANY STARVING Stories of Bad Economic Copdi- tions Come From All Parts, ». Says Wholesaler in St. Louis, R. O. Krogenoes, representative oi the Harald Anderson Shoe Co. of Christiania. Norway, the largest wholesale shoe company in that country, who is in the United States to arrange for a shipment of shoes to Norway. is in St. Louis to inspect local shoe factories. He said to a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Jeffer- son Hotel today that the people of his country are suffering through a scarcity of footwear and that shoe prices have advanced in Norway since the war from $6 to $18 a pair. He is accompanied by an interpre- ter. “Tt is premature to talk of peace’ your goai is too near,” he declared “Germany is starving. We have th‘s information from authentic sources —from neutrals who daily leave Ger- many They relate awful stories of against their own people, who are clamoring for food, and it is common news that the poor people of Germany are shot down in the streets in food demon- strations., i “You must crush the German mili- tary power or be crushed. Do not temporize. They are merciless. Nor- way shall never forget the murder of its citizens on the sea, and we are heart and soul in sympathy with any plan that will end Germany’s mili- tary power forever. Starvation in All Parts. “Were we to view the situation from a military standpoint,” he add- ed, “it would appear that Germany has won the war. But the contrary is true. ‘We meet people from all parts of Germany, coming into our country by different routes, and they all tell the same stories—frightful economic conditions and starvation. “Norway has been compelled, much against its will, to let Germany have 15 per cent of its fish catch each year. We must do this under an old treaty or enter the war. To take up arms against Germany would mean our destruction, for we are weak militarily. Most of Fish Goes to. England. “In return for the fish Germany sends us medicines and some needful articles which we cannot obtain from England and the United States. An- other part of our fish catch goes to Denmark, for which we (ges, cheese and butter. England takes about 60 per cent of the catch. We catch an enormous amount of fish and 10 per cent of the catch is sufficient for our own. needs. Vre do not get a sufficient amount of wheat flour, and we are conserv- ing in everything. We have no coal this year, as England has cut off the supply, but + e have enough wood to operate our factories and heat our homes. “The war is playing havoc with our business, as we are denied raw materials, but we are not complain- ing; indeed, we welcome any sacrifice that means a blow at Germany. “They sank our ships without warning, without reason. They fired on our sailors and men, women and children, in open bagats. Norway has taken this barbarism to heart. Nor- way will not *>rget. Peace Talk Is “German peace talk is not 2} prompted by the military sithation or by humanitarian motives. Ger- man peace talk is forced by internal conditions. The people have found the Kaiser’s promises of early victory empty, and from promises the Ger- man military has turned to savage measures against the German people. “We Norwegians who have lived close to Germany through this war know from direct information that Germany’s end is near. The German people are human and cannot endure the struggle much longer. “You must win, or we shall all be ponquered. We know that Germany lso has designs on us. Finish them while you are at it. We know that it is necessary.” Krogenoes will remain in 8t. Louis until Thursday. He will then depart for Washington to confer with Dr. Nansen, Norway’s economic repre- sentative in the United States. BILBO URGES REFORESTATION Mississippi Governor Sends Timber Conservation Message to Legisla- ture, JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 24.—Forest resources: of Mississippi should be conserved, according to a message sent to the Legislature by Gov. Bilbo. The Governor said: “Statisticians and experts estimate that at the present rate of consump- tion of lumber and wooden building materials, the entire world supply will be exhausted in about 30 years. I submit that a great ‘responsibility rests upon this Legislature, because in you lies all the power, and upon this generation the duty to take steps to not only conserve our timber and protect it from ruthless waste, but to encourage the planting of trees and the reforestation of the millions of acres of land in Mississippi that are not adapted to cultivation.” Pastor Accused of Sedition.

Waltz melodies, sufficiently tuneful to resist the onslaughts of tired and mediocre voices, some unusuaily good comedy and excellent dancing fea- ture “You're in Love,” which opened at the Shubert-Garrick last night. The show obviously was built for the tired business man and the fa- tigued commercial gentleman in the audieace appeared to enjoy the per- formance hugely. Bspecially was | this true when Edna Pendleton, who! can be looked at with ease and who is dainty as to structure, was swung 4 couple of feet over the heads of those in the first rows on the edge of a ship’s boom dangling her pink slip- pers into the faces of the t. b. m. Miss Pendleton swings back and forth singing “I Am Only Dreaming,” interspersed with giggles caused by the fatigued commercial gentlemen in the first rows tickling the bottom of her stockinged feet after taking off the slippers. The lady on the boom is supposed to be asleep during this divertissement. The show is replete with food songs and probably was the “knock- out” in New York as advertised in the program when there were some voices in the cast. « About all that is left of the original cast is Ray- mond Crane, who graced the boards at the Park Theater here some sea- sons ago. As Mr. Wix, the leading comedy part, he was very good, de- spite the fact that his stunt was the aged one of a missionary who ‘‘cuts loose” in secret. He also has an amusing dance and sings’ no worse than the rest of the cast. An eccentric sailor dance by Max- on and Brown received more ap- plause than the rest of the show put together. They really have some- thing new in the dancing line, which is “going some” in these days when the public is sated with Terpsichore and all her arts and wriggles. Miss Pendleton, the woman star, is petite and acts well. Her voice may grow better after she gets over the Sunday night fatigue induced by | a night of travel on the United States Railroad. Ralph Whitehead, in the leading juvenile role, has an effective stage presence, and Alice Johnson did her comedy work well. The chorus grows prettier as you move toward the rear of the house. There is a plot to the plece. It’s all about a young man who wants to marry and who is finally allowed to by the vixen aunt of the maiden on condition that he sign a contract not to kiss his bride for'a year. He agrees and the complications arising therefrom form the story. “Love O’ Mike,” the Marbury- Shubert musical comedy which was to have begun at the Shubert-Garrick next Sunday, has been transferred to the Jefferson and will open there at that time. MYSTERIOUS WOMAN WAVES WHITE FLAG AT ‘POP’ CONCERT Occupies Front Row Seat and Ap- pears to Be Unconscious of At- tention She Attracts. — A mysteriotis woman in white caused a diversion at yesterday’s Symphony Orchestra popular concert at the Odeon when she arose from her front row seat near the middle aisle and waved a flag attached to a stick. Bhe was a woman of middle age who seemed totally unconscious of the polite interest she was caus- ing. Her waving of the flag was slow, decorous and dignified. It fol. lowed the playing of the first num- ber on the program, the overture to Mignon. While the next number was being played attaches of the house kept a close watch on the woman, An usher took a seat beside her and asked her not to wave the flag again. She re- mained through the concert but made no further demonstration. The program, which did no “J clude a soloist, was one of the Best “popular” offerings of the season, in- cluding the Ballet Suite from “Syl- via,” Techaikowsky’s “1812” over. ture, Handel’s Largo with a violin obligato by Concertmaster Gusikoff, and Sousa’s “El Capitan” march. The orchestra departs tomorrow for Camp Funston, where it will give four concerts, returning Saturday. Theré will be no Friday and Satur- day concerts this week. — Pn To Cure A Cold im One Take LAXATIVE BROMO 40 QUININE (Tablets). It stops the Cough and Headache and works off the cold. 3B. W.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (By A. P.). -Control of prices and division of livestock purchases throughout the United States so as to eliminate com: petition were charged to the five big meat packing firms today by Francis J. Heney on the basis of confidential letters and telegrams taken from the ‘packers’ files and read into the Fed- eral Trade Commission’s hearing on the packing industry. 7 Preceding the introduction of doc- umentary evidence today, Senator Thompson of Kansas appeared at his own request to tell the commission that references to him found in the files were unfounded. The Senator denied specifically that he ever handled any business} for the packers or that W. H. Gates contributed $1000 to his campaign expenses. He declared he was strongly in favor of both the resolu- tions for Congressional investigation of the packing industry. He read a telegram from Gates denying that Gates ever had made such a state- ment as was credited to him in the packers’ files. Heney introduced records to show that the total purchases of livestock by the five packing firms from 1918 to 1917 were apportioned by percent- ages. While the extent of individual purchasés varied in separate mar- , kets, according to facilities of plants at that point, Heney said the total purchases always were made to con- form to an agreed percentage. These percentages, he charged, were base on percentages of ownership hid by Armour, Swift and Morris in th Na- tional Packing Co., dissolved by the Federal courts in 1912, but which Heney says has been continued and extended so as to include Wilson and Cudahy. _ Armour’s Letter Read. A letter from Philip D. Armour to J. Ogden’ Armour, dated Denver, Oc- tober, 1915, was read, saying: ‘Of course, as you know, everything is done here on a fifty-fifty basis and with the facilities we have it is al- anont impossible to keep up this ra- March 24, 1917, Arthur Meeker of Armour & Co. wrote Thomas E.

Wilson of Wilson & Co received a letter April 13, 1916, from C. H. Hill, in Oklahoma City, saying: “I could hardly believe that one of our men would interfere in any way when another buyer was trying to buy cattle, as I have always instruct- ed our buyers positively not to do this, as we were ,Only putting the cattle up on each other.” “Wilson nd Get Markets “in Line.” egraphed Hi : 1016: Pp li Aug. 7, ou no doubt have seen the mar- gin figures for week ending Aug. 5.

MARS.—United States gives every | desirable immigrant the opportunity ‘and privilege of becoming a citizen |of the U. S. by taking out first pa- || pers and within a given time to ap- ‘ply for second papers. If a man ‘| takes out his first papers and fails to take out his second, it is no fault | of the U. 8S. A., and as ‘the time al- lowed is considerable there is no ex- | euse for the neglect; and further, if 'the man’s heart is really with the 'country he will find enough time to _make the second application. But if his pocketbook alone is with the country he does not care much | about his final papers so long as he _has his first to produce in case he “may be criticised for not naturaliz- ‘ing. Thousands of British subjects have got out first papers since the war began, in the hope that Britain will not be able to call them, but , when Uncle Sani got into the war he ‘| told the authorities here that he was a British subject to evade service, but now that they fear the new reg- ulation permitting Britain to re- | eruit her subjects here. they are en- deavoring by every means in their power to get Uncle Sam to claim ‘them. The Stars and Stripes was 'mever intended to be a coward’s shield. It is too late now to offer excuses. It is time for action, and every man must dq his “bit” and ‘every available man will be: called |}at once. Any man who wants the | protection of the U. S. should have ' thought of that before now.

We will accept no peace but a democratic peace, but this resolution does not preclude testing the sincerity of Count Czernin’s plain hint that Austria-Hungary would be willing to talk over peace terms on the general principles suggested in President Wilson’s message. bs ii) If a wedge between Germany and Austria was started by the President’s statement, no opportu- nity to drive it deeper should be lost. If Aus- tria’s war aims really differ from Prussian war aims and the Austrians are unwilling to fight for the realization of pan-German objects, what bet- ter work for the victory we seek could be done than by divorcing the dual monarchy from Ger- many? Separating-@nemy allies and thus weak- ening the battle lines and national morale is wise policy. President Wilson’s message was directed to Austria-Hungary and the German people. If it is working towards the end we seek, we should encourage every movement in harmony with its purpose. : If Count Czernin was not sincere, the sooner his insincerity is exposed the better. It will be an- other moral victory for us and our associates. In view of our democratic purposes, the biggest campaign we are waging is the moral campaign. The more. thoroughly we expose the brugal aims of imperial militarism, the more clearly ‘the line of demarcation between the aims of autocraty and the aims of democracy, the greater and more pow- erful are the forces on our side. We should not miss a chance to add to these forces. - = = — a ae. THE COLONEL IN WASHINGTON. Just at the time when bitter criticism might have caused some change in the harmonious unity heretofore prevailing at Washington, it was Mr. Poorly Paid Railroad Clerks. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Just prior to the last presidential elec- tion, when a general strike of railroad trainmen threatened to tie up practically all the business of the country, the al- ready highly paid trainmen were given very substantial increases, although the Government was not instrumental in do- ing anything for unorganized labor, and gpince then any increases voluntarily. given unorganized labor by the railroads have been small. In the railroad offices are many well educated, intelligent, competent clerks whose salaries, after many years of faithful service, are considerably smaller than the pay receivdd by trainmen of only a few years’ service. With the cost of living steadily increasing, many railroad clerks find their salaries inadequate to - gupply their families with any more than the barest necessities of life. I hope this letter may come to the _motice of some one eapable of devising and “putting into effect some practical plan -of directing the attention of the Railroad, Wage Board to the plight’ of the thou- sands of poorly paid clerks and other un- organized railroad employes, who, while not lacking in loyalty or patriotism, are on the verge of being driven out of rail- road service into other lines of work of- fering sufficient compensation to enable them to support their families during the present distressing period of high cost of food, fuel and clothing, from which high cost of living, unorganized labor, genér- ally speaking, is suffering to a much greater extent than the more highly paid organized labor of railroads. We are now at war with Germany be- cause we are opposed to the exercise of “Might” zvather than “Right,”’ and while unorganized labor is not in a. position to make or enforce demands, we feel justi- fied in hoping that if the attention of the Railroad Wage Board were properly di- rected to the unplead cause of unorgan- ized railroad employes, no greater con- sideration would be given to organized la- bor because of its might, than to the unsupported - by - force - of - organization pléa for justice from the poorly pajd, loyal and: patriotic ‘unorganized railroad em- ployes. A RAILROAD CLERK. A Coal-Saving Suggestion. “To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . A great deal of coal might be saved and places made much more comfortable if people wotild only put double sashes on their witid6ws. This can be done on any window.” It is only necessary to screw an- other sash onto the inside of the lower sash, and onto the outside of the upper gash of the window. In appearance no- body would ever notice the difference. One screw on each side is sufficient. In summer, the extra sashes can be taken off and éet aside. I have tried this my- self with perfect success. In my I doubled only the lower sash, but the « fect was wonderful.

Any one may satisfy themselves by trying it on one or two rooms. > Food Conservation Explained. ‘To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to a letter to the people in Monday's Post-Dispatch, the Women’s Central Committee would like to make _ this idea clear. No class distinction was made when the Food Administration asked the public to observe meatless, wheatless and porkless days. The same kind of service to our country is accorded -Administration is | Urging, not so much conservation as sub- _ stitution of fish, poultry, game, for beef, pork, mutton and other products on meat- leas.

OR a 2 Wilson’s good fortune that Theodore Roosevelt, was impelled to visit the capital, breathing out de- nunciations and domineering statements about what he would have done and what must be done. The Colonel stayed so short a time that we must suspect that he left under the compulsion of sound advice from some friend to go home and keep still. 7 : But he stayed long enough to solidify the forces that are backing the President. ONE OF OUR UNWRITTEN LAWS. That no amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion can be ratified by a Legislature elected prior to the submission of the amendment is a provi- sion Legislator George A. Slater would have in- corporated in the Constitution of the State of New York. Such a provision is already in force in Florida and Tennessee, but it is a safeguard that should not need the support of basic/law. An elementary principle of popular government ought to restrain a presumptuous Legislature from ratifying a Federal amendment which it has no mandate from the people to ratify. That principle is a part of the unwritten law of democracies, because it is unwritten and because obedience to it issa matter of good faith. But in at least three instances we have seen Legislatures coolly assuming authority to ratify when they were elected months before the issue Was presented to the country and when they lacked popular sanction for their act. It may be desirable to give the principle the force and va- lidity of law, especially in view of the radical ferment which many believe to be inevitable after the close of the war. sf CAR STOPS AND RAPID TRANSIT. “A Daily Reader’ urges that, if the United Railways should adopt the rule of cutting out certain stops, passengers should, protest by re- maining on. cars, as some have done when the “turn-in” rule resulted in failure to take them to their destination. He says: “If you want to get off at Forty-third street, why should you be carried to Forty-fourth?’’ If the Public Service Commission authorizes the cutting out of certain stops, the traveling public will be compelled to walk a block or two to get. on or off cars, unless the remaining stops happen to be at points where they have been ac- customed to get on or off. But the rule would mean quicker transit. If we had a subway, pas- sengers would not expect to find stations or stop- ping places at every street corner. They would willingly walk a block or two in order to be as- sured of rapid transit between the stations. We can never have rapid transit if cars must stop at any and every street crossing for pas- sengers to get on or off. = A SURPRISING REVOLUTION. That the actual Russian revolution came as a sirprise to the intellectuals and terrorists of Russia, and that it would not have been possible but for the war, is the conclusion gathered from a remarkable Russian novel just published by Alfred A. Knopf. _ “What Never Happened, A Novel of the. Revo- lution,”’ by Boris Savinkov, who was War Min- ister in Kerensky’s Cabinet, was evidently writ- ten: before the war. It is a realistic story of ter- rorism—the underground war between the secret police of the Czar and the-men and women whé led the Socialist party and organized squads of desperate bomb throwers, assassins and “expro- priators,” as those who committed robberies to: get funds rs the cause were called. And it all ends in failure. One by one the de. voted terrorists are slain, the secrets of the party | are discovered through spies and provocateurs, and the apparent apathy and ignorance of the Masses make the revolution seem impossible. Savinkov writes as one who knew all this from individual experience. How surprised he and other revolutionary leaders must have been when, without terrorism, the democratic spirit arose in the Duma and the seemingly inert masses, in the army and the cities, awoke to power and, In a week, brought about the downfall of all that mighty, ubiquitous imperial system that had been hanging, dhooting and exiling the revo- lutionists year after year. = = - Politically, conditions are much the same now | in Germany as they were in Russia whén Savin- jmore, they certainly should do no less, ‘with them, a million or two millions strong. All with all the greater claim to inviolable observance. mental experts. The new bill is described as an admirable meas-| kov wrote his book expressing his and his party's hopelessness of the situation. fv = | FOOD TEST OF PATRIOTISM. In a land where food has always been abundant | and always been wasted, it is no easy matter to bring home to all the people a sudden realization of the necessity for saving or devise effective measures of economy. High prices have had their inevitable effect upon the tables of the poor. It is not in this direc- tion that the President is looking when in his proclamation he calls upon his fellow-countrymen to deny themselves in the interest of our asso- Giates in the war.” He addresses the well-fed and the overfed, who are very numerous. If these elements can be made to understand the situation the problem will not be difficult of solution. Most people even now do not grasp the fact that there is only one way to provide Western Europe with food, and that is by restricted consumption in this country. It is not a question of money or of price. It is a question of supply. There is not enough food in the world, and until the new erops appear the best that can be done is to piece out existing stocks. We are not asked even to deny ourselves food in plenty—the restriction is placed only upon the kind of food to be shipped to our European asso- ciates—beef, mutton, pork, wheat and sugar. Aside from the regulation of bakers and yublic houses, what the President and Mr. Hoover ask is a great voluntary limitation of diet, the srejec- tion of unnecessary articles, the stringent hus- banding of wheat flour, meats and sugary and, in particular, the prevention of all waste. If these suggestions were enforceable by law no one would suffer anything more than trifling inconvenience. Depending as they do upon the generosity and patriotism of the people, and subject in most cases to personal regulation, they entail no hardship and, we believe, will be cheerfully obeyed. Million8 of people can do nothing more than this to win the war. They cannot fight, and they may have the spirit of service as well developed as those who bear arms, They cannot hope to stand shoulder to shoulder with the allied democ- racies, but they can share their food with them and so as truly support them. If they can do no | This emergency is not to be met by any pres- ent act of Congress or by an appropriation. It must be faced by the family council and the in- dividual conscience. Food saved is food earned for the gallant armies of Great Britain, France and Italy. They are holding the battle lines for freedom and civilization until we are able to join forces that is required of noncombatant Americans is that they hold their appetites. In the words of Mr. Hoover, those who have most should save most. Failure in this respect will shame us forever at home and abroad. = = a a THE HOUSE WATER POWER BILL. The Senate’s response to the President’s late | | request for the enactment of a water-power meas- ure as a part of the long-delayed program of leg- islation conserving natural resources was to pass a bill along the lines of the objectionable Shields bill. The attempt to rush this bill through under the pressure of war necessity is not, however, likely to be successful. The real fight will take place in the House, which has named a special com- mittee to consider this important problem and which has had the assistance in formulating a bill of the heads of the War, the Interior and the Agricultural Departments, ure, drawn with a full knowledge of conditions and embodying the results of the best experience. It applies to water power in the national -forests, on public and on Indian lands and in navigable streams elsewhere. Its safeguards for insuring those vital essentials of unhampered public control at all times, prompt and complete development, short-term grants and rigid regulation of rates, to enable the people to share the benefits of their own assets, are said to be wisely and effectively devised. The one pledge in the platforms of 1912 that still awaits legislative fulfillment is the pledge relating to conservation of natural wealth. A just bill governing the leasing of mineral lands should supplement the water-power bill. The hesitation and delay that have already marked the treat- ment of the problems in Congress are a reproach. The water power now unutilized in the country is estimated at 50,000,000 horsepower. Enterprises that will harness some part of this great aggre- gate of power dnd place it at ‘the disposal of urgent war needs should not be delayed a single day by a failure on the part of Congress to do its full duty. = * » i 4 RH with their depart- WHEN SPRING COMES. Regarded superficially, things do not appear to be moving well in America this winter. What with fuel shortages, industrial embargos, railway con- gestions, awkwardness in handling war prepara- tions as revealed by congressional inquiries, wheatless and meatless days\and other unpleas- ant concomitants it would appear that there was some reason for a restive feeling on the part of the people. War has always been and almost always will be an unpleasant thing. No matter how well campaigns are conducted and how excellent do- mestic conditions are, there is bound to be dis- tigss. and suffering. Bearing this in mind will make it much easier to put up with the incon- veniences of this winter. Along in May the sun-will begin shining stead- ily and the American people will wake up to a country thoroughly organized for war, with hun- dreds of thousands of well-trained troops, scores of new freighters crossing the Atlantic and all War preparations moving along rapidly and smoothly. Foundations are being built this win- ter and sturdy superstructures reared. As in the case of a skyscraper in course of construction, everything seems’ to be hopeless litter while the work is going on. Suddenly, one day, you find the tall, graceful building complete, a dazzling monument the skyline.

O wife went to town and left all the barnyard folk by themselves. But no sooner did their master get out of sight than some- one said it would be a good time to have a picnic on the other side of the pond. “It will take all day to walk around it,” said old Madame Black Hen, “and I, for one, am not going to stay here alone; so you can’t go.” Old Black Hen had lived at the farm so long that even Mr. Rooster listened to what she had to say on barnyard subjects: so he shook his head and told the hens and chickens he guessed they could not go. The turkeys said they did not mind the walk, and, of course, the ducks did not mind, for all they had to do was swim across. Such a peeping and cackling of displeasure was never before heard as the hens and chickens set up when they found they were to be left behind. At last Jakey Duck said: “I don't see why we can’t all go across the pond. There is the master’s boat: all you have to do is to steer it.” “A very good idea,” said Mr. Rooster; and so it was settled that everybody was to go across in the boat and that Jakey Duck was to steer, — . Into the boat they scrambled, the turkeys and the hens and chickens and Mr. Rooster, and even some of the ducks, who thought it would be great sport to sail in a boat. “Oh! we _ forgot’ the lunch!” screamed old Madame Black Hen, just as everybody was in and ready to start off. ‘‘Whoever heard of a picnic without lunch?” So back they all went to the barn to get some corn, and once again they were ready to start. Everything went along smoothly until they came to the middle of the pond, and then the wind blew and rocked the boat. “O H! dear, I feel so queer,” said old Madame Black Hen, and down in the bottom of the boat she fell. “Oh! dear, I feel.so queer,” said Mrs. White Hen, and down she fell beside Madame Black Hen. “I feel very queer, very queer in- deed,”’ said Mrs. Turkey. “I think I will just lie down a minute.” “Oh!”” moaned Mrs, Speckled Hen, and down in the bottom of the boat she went with the others. One by one the hens and turkéys lay down in the boat until when Jakey Duck reached the shore on the other side of the pond only the ducks were sitting up. Out hopped the ducks and after a while Jakey and the others helped out the sick passengers. The ducks flew around and spread the lunch and when it was ready they called to the turkeys and hens, but they only groaned, so the ducks ate’ all the lunch.

When the trench mortars opened up, a maddening ter- din, anywhere to safety. So quietly sneaking around the traverse, he came to the entrance of a communication trench, and ran madly and blindly down it, running into traverses, stumbling into muddy holes and falling full length over trench grids, Groping blindly, with his arms stretched out in front of him, he at last came out of the trench into the villag@>or what used to be a village, before the German artillery razed it. Mixed with his fear, he had a pe- culfar sort of cunning, which whis- pered, to him to avoid all sentries, because if they saw him he would be sent back to that awful destruction in the front line, and’ perhaps be killed or maimed. The thought made him shudder, the cold sweat coming out in beads on his face. On his left, in the darkness, he could make out the shadowy forms of trees; crawling on his hands and knees, stopping and crouching with fear at each shell-burst, he finally reached an old orchard, and cow- ered at the base of a shot-scarred ap- ple tree. . He remained there all night, lis- tening to the sound of the guns and ever praying, praying that his use- less life would be spared. As dawn began to break, he could discern little dark objects protruding from the ground all about him. Cu- riosity mastered his fear and he crawled to one of the objects, and The good-hearted sentry knew he was lying about the pardon. He knew nothing short of a miracle could save the poor lad. 3 Lloyd listened eagerly to his sen- try’s words, and belleved them. A look of hope came into his eyes, and he ravenously ate the meal beside him. In about an hour’s time the chap- lain came to see him, but Lioyd would have none of him. He wanted no parson; he was to be pardoned. The artillery behind the lines sud- denly opened up with everything they had. An intense bombardment of the énemy’s lines had commenced. The roar of the guns was deafening. Lloyd’s fears came back with a rush, and he cowered on the earthen floor with his hands over his face. The Cheery Sentry.

In the collection of the National Museum at Washington are many specimens of ancient timekeeping de. vices, including sun-dials, both fixed and portable; hour glasses, time lamps and candles, clocks and hun- dreds of watches, from which the development of that industry may be , traced. In remote ages the Japanese and Chinese used a knotted wick, two feet in length, for telling the time. The wick burned slowly and each of Spain is said to have used an oil lamp for the same purpose. The oil was contained in a giass receptacle, on which was a scale marking the hours from 4 in the afternoon to 8 the next morning, and the height of the liquid upon the scale would sho the time. A twelve-inch candle, of which three inches would burn away in an hour, is supposed te have been used by King Alfred. Sundials, which date back to early times, were not all like the kind set up as ornaments in modern gar- dens. Specimens of pocket dials of brass and ivory are in the collection, besides a ring with a hole in the top. Held in position to admit a ray of the sun through the hole, the hour is marked on a scale inside the ring. There is also a model of a pole used by the Montagnais Indians of Cana- da. It was set up and parties of hun- \ters passing by would mark the shad- ‘ow of the sun on the snow for the ‘information of those who were to follow.

Better ones, known as Clepsydras, were produced in the seventeenth century, and a specimen with an alarm attachment was secured for the museum by Dr. Sam- uel P. Langley. Clocks operated by weights appeared during the thirteenth or fourteenth century, the invention of the escapement being credited to John Megestein of Co- logne. Field Marshal Haig Thirty-Three Years in Army. IELD MARSHAL GENERAL F SIR DOUGLAS HAIG, Com- mander in Chief of the Britisk forces in France, is in his fifty-sev- enth year. He headed the first army corps of the British expeditionary force and won his promotion by “distinguished sexyvice in the field.” Before the outbreak of the war Gen. Haig was for some years Chief of Staff of the army in India. He graduated from Oxford before he en- tered the army, 33 years ago, with the Seventh Hussars. He served in the Sudan, taking part in the action at Khartoum, and won British and Egyptian medals. During the South African War he was for a time asso- ciated with Lord French, his prede- cessor as Comander in Chief, and later in independent operations as leader of a group of columns he greatly distinguished himself and was awarded the King’s and Queen’s medals. - After the end of the Boer War he was dispatched to India as Inspector General of Cavalry, and it was while holding that post, in 19056, that he married a daughter of Lord Vivian. He reached the rank of Major-Gen- eral in 1904, and in 1909 was knight- ed and appointed Chief of Staff in India. It is in the cavalry branch of the military service that Gen. Haig made his reputation as a leader. He has been called the handsomest of- ficer in the British army. Nursing a public job seems to be a disease.—Los Angeles Times. 4 French dugout, half caved in, and partially filled with slimy and filthy water. Like a fox being chased by the hounds, he ducked into this hole, and threw himself on a pile of o}d empty sandbags, wet and mildewed. Then—unconsciousness On the next day he came to; far distant voices sounded in his ears. Opening his eyes, in the entrance of the dugout he saw a Corporal and two men with fixed bayonets. Deserter Captured. The Corporal was addressing him: “Get up, you white-livered blight- er! Curse you and the day you ever joined D Company, spoiling their fine record! It'll be you up against the wall, and a good job, too. Get a hold of him, men, and if he makes a break, give him the bayonet, and send it home, the cowardly sneak. Come’ on, you, move, we've been looking for you long enough.” Lloyd, trembling and weakened by his long fast, tottered out, assisted by a soldier on each side of him. They took him before the Captain, but could get nothing out of him but: “For God's sake, sir, don’t have me shot, don’t have me shot!’ The Captain, utterly disgusted with him, sent him under escort to Divi- sion Headquarters for trial by court- martial, charged with desertion un- der fire. They shoot deserters in France. During his trial, Lioyd sat as one dazed, and could put nothing forward in his defense, only an occasional “Dont have me shot!”’ His sentence was passed: “To be shot at 3:38 o'clock on the morning of May 18, 1916.” This meant that he had only one more day to live. He did not realize the awfulnéss of his sentence, his brain seemed para- lyzed. He knew nothing of his trip, under guard, in a motor lorry to the sand-bagged guardroom in the vil- lage, where he was dumped on the floor and left, while a sentry with a fixed bayonet paced up and down in front of the entrance. Bully beef, water and biscuits were left beside him for his supper. The sentry, seeing that he ate nothing, came inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying in a kind voice: “Cheero, laddie, better eat some- thing. You'll feel better. Don't give up hope. You'll be pardoned before morning. I know the way they run these things. They're only trying to scare you, that's all, Come, now, that’s a good lad, eat something, It'll “D” Company man took his place. Looking into the guardhouse, the sentry noticed the cowering attitude of Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him: “Instead of whimpering in that corner, you ought to be saying your prayers. It’s bally consacrips like you what's spoilin’ our record. We've been out here night onto 18 months, and you're the first man to desert his post. The whole battalion is laugh- in’ and pokin’ fun at ‘D’ Company, bad luck to you! but you won't get another chance to disgrace us. They'll put your lights out in the mornin’.”’ After listening to this tirkde, Lloyd in a faltering voice, asked: ‘They are not going to shoot me, are they? Why, the other sentry said the’d par- don me. For God's take—don’'t tell me I’m to be shot!" and his voice died away in a sob: “Of course, they're going to shoot you. The other sentry was jest a-kid- ding you. Jest like old Smith. Al-| ways a-tryin’-to cheer someone. You ain’t got no more chance o’ bein’ par- doned than I have of gettin’ to he Colonel of my ‘Batt.’” When the fact that all hope was gone finally entered Lloyd's brain, a calm seemed to settle over him, and rising to his knees, with his arms stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and all of his soul entered into the prayer: “Oh, good and merciful God, gives me strength to die like a man! De- liver me from this coward’s death. Give me a chance to die like my mates in the fighting line, to dle fighting for my country. I ask this of Thee.” m A Shell Frees Him. A peace, hitherto unknown, came ” to him, and he crouched and cow- ered no more, but calmly waited the cawn, ready to go to his death. The shells were bursting all around the guardroom, but he hardly noticed them. While waiting there, the voice of the sentry, singing. in a low tone, came to him. He was singing the chorus of the pupular trench ditty: “IT want to go home, I want to go home, I don't want to go to the trenches no more, Where the ‘whizbangs’ and ‘sausages’ roar galore. Take me over the sea. where the Allemand can't get at me Oh my, I don’t want to diet I want to go home.” Lioyd listened to the words with make the world look different to strange interest, and you,” a Weer tion being outside the beta de rectly.
