P — An inventory and report filed yes- terday in the Recorder’s office at €layton by William H. O’Brien,-Spe- cial State Deputy Bank Commission- who is winding up the affairs of the Valley Park bark, shows that when he took charge he did not find the $49.082.25 deposits which the books showed should have been on hand. In place of the deposits were notes, many of them unsecured; evi- dencing loans made by the bank to persons in the Missouri Plate Glass Company group, which controlled the bank as a subsidiary. It also has been disclosed that the bank deceived ‘the examiners by carrying as assets deeds of trust covering pieces of property which were included in the blanket deed covering all of the property. The report shows that unsecured notes to the amount of $14,445 were found. The largest amount loaned | within the organization was $7100 to the Missouri Plate Glass Co., which is now in the hands of a re- ceiver, O’Brign. has had a number of con- ferences with Prosecuting Attorney Ralph, who stated yesterday that he was co-operating in the investiga- Vs The Prosecuting Attorney an- ced a very tangled condition been found and that there might ‘prosecutions. “The facts and figures contained in O'Brien’s report are such as to cause me as Prosecuting Attorney to begin an official and drastic inves- tigation of the affairs of the bank.“ said the Prosecuting Attorney.

Woerman of 4621 street, proprietor of an Easton ave- nue garage and sawdust dealer at 308 North Main street, were arrested today on an indictment charging them with grand larceny in connec- tion with the reported theft ‘or 4 Buick automobile last summer. David Creely ig also indicted on the same ch on another criminal charge, and is also under a charge of being an habitual criminal. Indictments followed an investi-. gation in which the police were aided by representatives of automobile in- surance interests. A claim for m- surance on the car was made by Cavanaugh, one. of the defendants and | the case has an insurance phase but the indictment charges merely | 8 the theft of the car. The arrested men were photo- graphed at police headquarters after their arrest, in anticipation that they wuld obtain their release on bond. Car Recovered Once. Cavanagh reported the theft of the machine Sept. 20 last. The po- lice found the car in possession | Market street business man, who he bought it from a used-car con on Pine street. The manager of, the used-car shop said he b ht the ear from Woerman for $750, and that he had his dealings with a man in Woerman's employ... e . is. pre Oct. 1 he 1 that it was. stolen again. Ite whereabouts are not now known. Cavanagh had filed a claim for $900. with the Lawton- Byrne-Bruner Insurance Agency af- ter the first report of the theft. Woerman’s employe, after refus- ing to tell city detectives anything, was taken before the grand jury. it is understood that he related to the grand jury that he was sent by Woerman to meet Henderson and buy the car for $400, and that he did this. Cavanagh, when questioned, said | he bought the car from Henderson, and showed a bill of sale fixing the price at $550. City detectives learned, by inquiry through the Buick company’s main office, that the car had belonged toa man in Kansas City. This men, it He is under bond | been infrequent duting the last year.

In this case Cavanagh is accused of the theft, of a Dodge car, stolen in August from Charles Depew, a lumber dealer in the Fullerton Building, and sold, at a Delmar boulevard garage, to an in- nocent purchaser who names Cava- nagh as the seller. Henderson, at police headquarters, declared the charge was a “frame- up” by insurance companies. He said his honesty’ had never before been questioned, and that Cavanagh and Woerman are “high-class busi- ness men.” He said he hoped his acquaintances would withhold judg- ment until the case was heard in court. Also Charges Frame-Up. Cavanagh also said the case was a “frame-up,” and mentioned a suit a he says he has pending against an insurance company. He said an agent of the company posed as a city detective and threatened him, in the effort to make him withdraw his suit. He said he would file damage suits as the result of his arrest. He said he Nad had several automobil« transactions, all legitimate. Cavanagh was taken to the Cir- cuit Attorney's office, and it was un derstood that he would make a fuller | statement. there. Woerman made a denial of wrong- doing, and Joined in the charge of 4 “frame-up.” BRITISH. JANUARY — CASUALTIES Pritish casualties dtring the month of January totaled 72.917. men, 13.6086.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (By A. pay -increases pending before the railroad wage co .mission are for an aggregate average of 40 per cent, it was dis- closed today. | The demands represent a total of nearly $500,000,000 this year, or ie of ‘st year. A number of requests for more pay are still reaching the commission. In nearly every case the labor union seeks to represent all members of the particular trade whether organ- ized or unorganized and the wage commission is said to be prepared to accept this principle. Many of the demands are for K in some cases an increase to ace certain trades on a parity with employes of other industries, and in addition a flat increase to pro- vide for higher cost of living within the last year.

The committee will ‘be composed of two representatives of the war commissariat and two representatives of the general staff of the Red Guards. Another decree assigns 20.000.000 rubles ($10,000,000) for the or- ganization of the Red Army from ihe moneys in the war fund. The poney is to be entrusted to the col- Slum and must be returned subse- quently. The Pravda prints a rumor that Rumania lately has made a separate agreement with the Central Powers id sugrests that this may include compensation for Rumania in Bes- rabia. The Bolshevik. Government, ac- ecrding to a dispatch from Petro grad, continues to claim considerable military success in the Ukraine and elsewhere. It is announced that af- ter the Bolsheviki troops captured Bachmatsch station, the officers of the nobility withdrew to Kiev, which is surrounded on all sides. The Ukrainian Rada is said to have lost confidence in the Ukrainian sol- diers. Workmen are now organizing a White Guard in the Ukraine un- aer Russian and Polish ofifcers who had been reduced to the ranks in the Russian army. Towns Captured in Crimea, The capture of the towns of Kertch, Theodosia and Yalta in the Crimea is claimed by the Bolsheviki. It is said that the Cossack General, Dutoff, has been defeated and the capture of Orenburg is imminent. Special dispatches from Petrograd concur in the belief that all the Cos- sacks will declare themselves on the side of the Bolsheviki. The reports give instances of growing adhesion and forecast the downfall of the Government of Kaledines. Those opposed to the Bolsheviki, according to the Petrograd corre- spondent of the Daily Express, admit a growing conviction that the Bolshe- viki have come to stay, if not per- manently at least an e e long time.“ He says the Bolsheviki have won the confidence and support of the people as the provisional] Government never did and have also struck a popular note on the question of peace. He adds: “It is more or Jess generally ac- knowledged here with mingled joy and gloom that the power of the sol- diers’ and workmen’s cuncils is no empty boast as many know to their cost.“ The correspondent says that the bourgeoise seem almost to have ceased to exist in Russia. A person may travel the length and breadth of Russia and see only swarms of peasants and workmen. Aristocracy in Background. The aristocracy,” he says, ereetly has retired to the ground. such pleasant places as the Crimea end the Caucasus, where they form select communities of the bores and the bored. Yalta would be tolerable, but for its Grand Dukes. Kislovodsk is crammed with retired Generals und “o-ernors and penniless Princes, who pass the time playing poker in the Casino and the hotels.

The United: Railways Co. and oth- er defendants in the suit for a re- ceivership and accounting of the company, filed by John W. Seaman of New York in the United States District Court here, made an an- swer to the receivership petitfon to- day.. The answer moves that the recel*- arship petition be dismissed, on sev- en grounds. Two of the company’s allegations are that Seaman did not exharst his richts within the corpo- ration to obtain relief before ap- nealing to the court: and that the action ‘s barred by the statute of limitations. Today was the dast day for the fil- ‘ine of a reply. The suit was filed in Seaman’s behalf by Ephrim Caplar | 9 St. Louis attorney. the attorneys named fon the com- nany are Boyle & Priest, Albert D. Nortoni and F. E. Francis; for the TInion Electric Co., Schnurmacher & Rassieur; and for the Mercantile Trust Co. and the James Campbell estate, Samuel A. Mitchell. The seven grounds on which dis- missal is asked are: 1. The bill of complaint does not state facts’ sufficient to constitute cause of action. 2. The United States Court ap- pears to lack jurisdiction. 3. The bill of complaint is multi- farious, and violates the equity rules, in that it does not assert that all the defendants are equally liable. 4. The bill combines alleged causes of action in equity with alleged causes at law. ; 5. The bill does not show that the plaintiff has complted with the rules of equity, in that he has not ex- hausted his rights within the corpo- ration to correct his alleged wrongs; the bill does not show who the com- pany’s directors are, or that he ever applied to the directors for redress; or that such an appeal, if made, would have been without result. 6. His right of action appears to have lapsed, if any such right ex- isted. 7. The causes of action are barred by the statute of limitations.

Both by direct purchase of nitrate and by the establishment of plants to produce nitrates, the Gov ernment is doing its utmost to assist in the problem of fertilization. The Department of Agriculture and other agencies are actively as- sisting the farmers to locate, safe- guard and secure at cost an ade- partment has $2,500,000 available for this purpose now and has asked the congress for $6,000,000 more. Problem of Labor Great. “The labor problem is one of great difficulty and some of the best agencies of the nation are addressing themselves to the task of soiving it, so far as it is possible to solve it. Farmers have not been exempted from the draft. I know that they would not wish to be: I take it for granted they would not wish to be respect. But the attention of the War De- partment has been very seriously cen- tered upon tha task of interfering with the labor of the farms as little as possible and under the new draft regulations I believe that the farm- ers of the country will find that their supply of labor is very much less se- riously drawn upon than it was un- der the first and initial draft, made before we had had our present full experience in these perplexing mat- ters. The supply of labor in all in- Austries is a matter we must look to and are looking to with diligent care. “And let me,say that the stimula- tion of the agencies I have enumer- ated has been responded to by the farmers in splendid fashion. I dare Say that you are aware that the farmers of this country are as effi- cient as any other farmers in the world. They do not produce more per acre than the farmers in Europe. it is not necessary that they should Go so. It would, perhaps, be bad economy for them to attempt it. But they do produce, by two or three or four times more per man, per unit of labor and capital, than the farm- ers of any European country. Responded to This Emergency. “They are more alert and use more labor-saving devices than any other farmers in the world. And their re- sponse to the demands of the present emergency has been in every way re- markable. Last spring their plant- ing exceeded by 12,000,000 acres the largest planting ot any previous year; and the yields from the crops fall of 1917 & wheat acreage of 42.- million larger than for any preced- ing year, three millions greater than the oe 9 and seven millions the Nen five-year N at Wate achievements should be repeated but that they should be exceeded. I know what this advice involves. It involves not only labor, but sacrifice, the painstaking application of every Lit of scientific knowledge and every tested practice that is available. It means the utmost economy, even to the point where the pinch comes. It means the kind of concentration and self-sacrifice which ‘is involved in the field of battle .itself, where the object always looms greater than the individual. And yet the Government will help and help in every way that it is possible. The impression which pre vails in some quarters that while the Government has sought to fix the prices. of foodstuffs, it has net sought to fix other prices which de- termine the expenses of the farmer is a mistaken one. As a matter of fact, the Government has actively end successfully regulated the prices ct many fundamental materials un- derlying all the industries of the country and has regulated them, rot only for the purchases of the Gov- renment, but also for the purchases of the general public, and I have every reason to believe that the Con- gress will extend the powers of the Government in this important and even essential matter, so that the tendency to profiteering which is showing itself in too many quarters may be effectively checked. “In fixing the prices of foodstuffs the Government has sincerely tried to keep the interests of the farmer as much in mind as the interests of the communities which are to be served, but it is serving mankind as well as the farmer and every- thing in these times of war takes on the rigid aspect of duty.

The first session of the school was held yesterday afternoon in room 414 of the Federal Building, with D: C. | Berryman, an income tax agent of the Treasury Department, as teach- er. School kept from 2 to 4 p. m., and a number of the pupils stayed until 4:30, asking more questions. Another session will be held next Wednesday afternoon. The difference between an ordi- nary school ‘and the income tax school is that in an ordigary school the teacher asks most of the ques- tions, but in the income tax school the pupils ask all the questions, and the teacher answers them, or tries to. Not all the questions asked ycs- terday were answered, and some of them may have to go to Washington for settlement. 90,000 Returns Expected Here. Berryman, in explaining to a Post- Dispatch reporter the purpose of the school, said it is expected that 90,- 000 income tax returns will have to be made out in St. Louis and sub- mitted to the Collector of Internal Revenue before Maren 1. This nun ber of persons cannot be cared for, and their questions answered, at the Collector's office, and it is desired to have firms attend to their employes’ returns as far as possible. So the secretaries or auditors of the firnis are invited to attend the school and bring the questions which have come to them in individual cases of em- Questions as to the returns of firms and corporations are also an- swered in the school, and the inqui- ries at the first session were an odd jumble of individual problems, some of them petty, and the six-figure dealings of corporations. Many questions were on matters of time, whether certain items of in- come should be returned for 1917, the year on which returns are now to be made, or should be credited back to 1916, when the income tax was much milder, and the excess profit tax was not charged. Question of Time. Technically, anyone who has failed to return any part of his 1916 income is a delinquent, and is subject to a penalty. But the penalties have usually been remitted in cases where a return was amended voluntarily. Even if a penalty were charged, it would probably: not be heavier than the excess tax charged this year, as compared with last year. The income tax is for the l year, ‘Jan. 1 to Jan. 1. In general, the teacher’s answers were that in- come must be taxed for the year when it is received. If a firm set- tled with its salesman Jan. 10, 1917, for orders he obtained in December, 1916, the amount he received is, in- cluded in his income for 1917. How- ever, if the firm mailed him a check Dec. 31, and he did not receive it until a few days later, it might be accounted as of 1916. More complicated questions along this line were asked about the case of a firm whose officers have 2 rvun- ning account with the firm, and are credited with sums at certain inter- vals, this credit partly taking the place of cash payments. In general, the ruling on these questions was that the amount should be counted for the year in which it was re- ceived, rather than the year in which it was earned, and that the date of entry on the books was the deter- mining, factor. Widower’s Daughter a Boarder. From these questions the teacher turned to this one: “If a widower has a daughter, 19 years old, who earns $10 a week, is he classed as the head of a family?“ Answer. No he is a single man, and his daughter is a boarder. If she pays board, he must add it to his income, and he ean then deduct the. estimated cost of her board.” . For a son of 19, the answer. would be different; as a daughter is of age at 18, and a son at 21. “If I own. property in Canada, and M.

Does this transaction figure in his income for the year?” : : question stumped the teacher. ee Was e Affect Married Men Without ey? , * 93 ee The war income tax and surtaxes are in addition to the tax provided in the former income tax law. This makes figuring of taxes a compli- cated process. Three items must be figured in-—the tax under the former iaw, the added tax under the present law, the surtax (on incomes over $5000). Officials in charge of the shies tion of. income taxes gave a Post- Dispatch reporter 3 of the, total tax to be charged in the case of a married man without children. | For such a man the former tax was 2 per cent on more than $4000 4 year. The new added tax is 2 per cent on more than $2000 a year. Thus, a man with §5000 a year in- come pays 2 per cent, under the old | tax, on his income over $4000——2 per cent on $1000, or 20. He pays 1 per cent additional, under the new} ‘law, on his income over $2000—2 per cent on $3000, or $60. Total tax, $20 plus $60, or $80. ae After $5000 the surtax begins. On an income of $6500, the tax is 2 per cent (old law) on $2500, or $50; 2 per cent (new law) on $4500, or $90; 1 per cent (surtax) on $1500, or 918. Total, tax, $155. The surtax is increased to 2 per cent when $7600 is reached, and the percentage increases as the income rises. The figuring of surtaxes is no easy task, as the first $2500 over 35000 must be figured at 1 per cent; the next $2500 at 2 per cent, and s0 on up. For an income of $50,000 a year the surtax is com of seven items and amounts to $3300. while boarding school. | _ Can I deduct his board from sy me * An- > eee a the straight tax under the old law is — — No turning the { Neo 1 Ne | | he mre + : „ Machine. out all the poisonous exudations which | puff up the feet. ‘‘Tiz’’ foot trouble so ar face never li 88 .

The ‘percentage of f profit which the retailer can charge the ocnsumer for commodities listed on the official fair price: list was definitely determined at the weekly conference of the Price Interpreting Council with the United States Food Administration Comniit- tee of St. Louis yesterday afternvon. 85 AR, 3) , . accounts opened with the Mercantile.

While there were slight increases in most of the commodities as a re- sult, the Food Committee announced that the profits of the retailer had been cut nearly 10 per cent by the adoption of the new system. The change was the result of a report submitted by a committee of gro- cers appointed at last week’s meet- ing. On a cash-and- carry basis erocers of profit: On sugar, 5 per cent; flour, 5 per cent; potatoes, 15 per cent; butter? 8 per cent; oleom@rgarine, 12 per cent; eggs, 7 per cent; poultry, 12 per cent; corn mean, 12 per an ‘| cereals, 15 per cent. Wholesalers and retailers ‘ne at- tended the meeting said that 15 per cent profit on potatoes was fair in view of, conditions in the present market. There is not more than a week’s supply of potatoes on hand, they said, and a large part of every shipment must be discarded because of frosty potatoes. Chairman W. F. Gephart of the lutely necessary for all grocers to ob- serve the new regulations for the saving of wheat flour. Purchases of flour until Feb. 15 can be made on a basis of 75 per cent white flour and 25 per cent substitutes. time the percentage probably will be changed to 50 per cent of edch. The committee announced this list of commodities as, substitutes for wheat flour, a sufficient quantity of which -will be available here after Feb. 15 to enforce the 50 per cent basis prescribed by the National Food Administration: Cornstarch, corn flour, barley flour, hominy, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck- wheat flour, potato flour, soy bean |} flour, corn grits, corn meal and the Victory bread recipe prepared by the Government. Graham flour and whole rye flour may be used until Feb. 15. a N The Food Committee has cited 12 retail grocers to appear before it to- morrow afternoon, following con- plaints received from consumers that the retailers violated new food regu- lations. A majority of the grocers are alleged to have disregarded the regulations, which went into effect Tuesday, requiring sales of white flour to be accompanied by 25 per cent purchase of wheat substitutes. Grocers reported to the committee that the demand for flour was su great on last Monday that they could not fill all the orders. STOLEN AUTOMOBILE FOUND ory Strect After Driver Aban- doned It. An automobile, stolen last night from Dr. Elmer Howe of 2116 South Grand avenue, was found this.morn- ing wrecked at the bottom of a quar- ry opposite 3500 Hickory street. The machine apparently had plunged into the quarry from Hickory street, where the drop is 100 feet to the bot- tom, after the driver had abandonec rt The wrecked machine was upside down in a snow bank. Policemen removed the bottom of the car and found there was no one under it. There was nothing to indicate that anyone had been injured in the fall. Hickory street adjoining the quar- ry is not made, being only an_open Space, and the only guard around the edge of the quarry was a light wood- en rail. The quarry is operated by the Fehling Construction Co., which has an offlce near where the car went over. An employe of the com- pany discovered the wreck. Ibsen’s Friday Bargain.

Peary, Arctic explorer and chairman of the Aerial Coast Patrol. Commission, speaking at a public meeting at ‘he Planters Hotel last night, told how the German U-boat 53, which in the autumn of 1916 sank five British vessels off Nantucket after paying a forma! visit to naval officers at New- port, was captured last December along with a squadron of five subma- rines of which the U-53 was the flag- ship. K Last December Lloyd George made the brief announcement that five submarines had been captured in a single day,” said the Admiral. “The public was given no details, but these are the facts: “The U-53 was sighted by a French seaplane and soon captured by a de- stroyer.

A French crew was placed on the submarine | and the next day the boat was taker | out and began signaling for a ren- dezvous of all the U-boats. When they arrived at a point designated in the wireless message, French cruisers surrounded them. The submarines tried to escape by creating a smoke screen, but the seaplanes were over them and had their guns trained upon the boats.“ Admiral Peary. said he related this incident to show the .efficiency of seaplanes, 1000 of which should be guarding the Atlantic coast night and day as a means of defending the Bastern coast citfes, including Wash- ington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, from an attack by German subma- rines and airplanes. Such an at- tack, the Admiral declared, is a “military certainty,” and may occur any day- We are unprepared to meet it. All Eastern cities, he sug- gested, should have anti-aircraft de- fenses such as London and Paris now possess. In speaking of the rapid develop- ment of the airplane, Admiral Peary said that we expect to fly machines across the Atlantic within a year." The Admiral advocated the erea- tion of a separate Department of Aeronautics in the Government. to have charge of the air services of the army and navy. He came to St. Louis to arouse public sentiment in favor of the proposed $1,000,000,000 congressional appropriation for strengthening our aerial defenses He departed for Washington at nom Long thread; wire wrapped; head, lon hardw handle.

Naturally, in view of the mixture of races com- prised in the Dual Monarchy, it could not be kindled through and through with a common ardor to’the same degree as the German army. Such a unity of sentiment as existed with us was impossible in its case. “The Austro-Hungarian military leaders had to cope with difficulties arising from the mixture of races nearly strong which did not exist in the case of vurselves or our opponents. More- over, these brave troops had to suf- fer for the sins and omissions of which the National Assembly of cha monarchy had been guilty during past decades. The army was too weak in numbers, and equipped with far too insufficient an artillery, to engble it to resist successfully the Russian hordes and at the same time to cope with the Serbians. The weakness of their regimental staff in time of peace had rendered impossi- ble the training for actual battle tac- tics.

WITH THE.AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Jan. 8.— The tobacco famine that has brought dismay to French smokers has had strange con- sequences.‘ There are tales of men smoking dried leaves, coffee and tea grounds, anything that will burn. It is even said that French soldiers have been known to crush between stones their leathery Government to- sue tobacco” for fuel. Perhaps the quserest consequences of all is that American soldiers are smoking Ger- man cigarettes. It came about in this way. At the beginning of the war the French Government confiscated as enemy goods all the German cigarettes to be found in French tobacco shops or warehouses. These cigarettes were laid away and forgotten. The French Government did not want to sell them, and so intense is the hatred in France for anything German that Garis? aad it was ‘the 18 Grunting] and panting, they placed the case upon the stretcher bars and made what speed they. could back to the truck! The mechanician suddenly discovered the “trouble,” the truck snorted and started again on its way and the men in it gues: hands with the four. A little while later there was a real breakdown at the head of the line and during the half hour it took to fix it—perhaps it needn’t have taken qufte so long—the contents of the case seeped all along the line. The truck train started again and wondering Frenchmen at the road- side asked one another whether each truck „ K on fire, vr Daag ve introduce our high Roasted Coffee — 7 FREE yeur choice ef one of the — — items: 1% Ibs. very ea rice; 2 Graham Flour With $1.00 Coffee bs. our best Blend Coffee, $1 a fhe our Success Coffee, $1 4 Ibs. ‘cur French Biend Coffee, & Ibs. our best 20e Coffee, Coffees roasted fresh dan 3 Always fresh and crisp.

The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and s it on to the blad- der, where it often remains to irritate and inflame. Bladder weakness, most folks call it. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailmentz to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids so they no longer are a source of irritation to the blad- der and other organs which then act normally again.

The stock was only a stopgap, for the total supply of German cigarettes in France was not large. Already, too, there are coming complaints that “these boche smokes are al! right, but the gold tips come off and taste rotten in your mouth.“ Americans Estape Disaster. | Until this is read it has been con- cealed from the American public that one battalion of American in- fantry almost met with crushing dis- aster on the night it left the trenches. Just before the battalion piled into trucks to go up to the front—it was not one of the first battalions in the line—every man got his share of to- bacco, a good, liberal share of ciga- rettes and makin’s that should hav: lasted all the time he was there. But the excitement, the cold and the ex- posure speeded up smoking as no amount of training could and the battalion left the trenches absolutely smokeless. A Y. M. C. A. worker had | brought up a haversack full of pack- ets of cigarettes, but what were they among a battalion? It looked as if the men had a long, bumpy ride in army trucks to look forward to, with nary a smoke on the way. Then arrived a Quartermaster's truck and stopped at the road cross- ing where the troops were climbing disconsolately into their trucks. Hey, some of you guys give me a hand to unload your tobacco.” shout- ed the driver. 8 It took about one minute to unload that tobacco, a whole case of it, sten- ciled New York Tobacco Fund.” As the case lay beside the road the sol- diers debating whether to take a chance and open it with a bayonet or await orders from their command- ing officer, there came a dull thud over beyond the German lines, the scream of a shell and then the phut“ of exploding shrapnel over- head, followed by a rain of leaden pellets that whacked the grass oni7 @ few yards away. Came another and another, this time a little closer. |The men dived for the trucks, “They've spotted the trucks from their O. P.,“ said the Major. “All aboard. there; drive out of this!

A month ago began the tobacco famine. No one seems to know ex- actly how it started; but first Paris, then the smaller French cities, towns and villages began to run short of tobacco. At first the Americans didn't worry, because only French pipe tobacco was scarce, and no American could possibly smoke that. Later French cigarettes, one brand of which Americans can smoke, and French cigars, most of which they find not unacceptable, began to get short. What American cigarettes the Quartermaster’s Corps had were cleaned out likewise, and still the army cried for something to smoke. Then it was that the Germans came to the rescue—all unknowing—of one of their most dearly hated ene- mies. Why not sell us those old Ger- man cigarettes?” asked the Quarter- master’s Corps or the French. They're partly Turkish and Egyp- tian tobacco, and Frenchmen don't smoke as much of that as we do. We'll pay you a fair price for them, and you can invest it in the new war loan’ or something—make the boche help you win the war.“ Sold to Americans. The idea tickled the French, SO | they sold the cigarettes to the Amer- icans, and they were promptly. put on sale at all the camps in the train- ing area that were especially short of smokes.

K DESTROYER | FLEET IN WAR ZONE Commander Taussig Says Many Lives Were Saved, but He Can- not Say We Sank Any Sub- PATROL DUTY TRYING Hard to Tell Periscope From Wreckage; Frequent Col- lisions at Night. NEW. YORK, Jan. 31 (By A. P.).— Tiow secretly the United States dis- patched the first flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers last April to join the British navy in the hunt for German submarines was told for the first time at a war savings stamp rally last night by Commander J. K. Taussig, U. S. N., of St. Louis, who took . ecross the Atlantic. My orders were to proceed to a point 50 miles east of Cape Cod, and then open my sealed instructions,” he said. “Until I got to that point, at midnight of the first night out, I did not know that our first port of call Was to be Queenstown, Ireland. “Tt is quite natural that the few in authority who knew of our move- ments watched with anxiety for news ‘of our crossing. It was the.first time that vessels of this type had ever made so long a continuous passage without refueling or without the company of larger vessels. In Gale for Seven Days. “We were 10 days in making the trip, due mostly to a southeast gale, which accompanied us for seven of the 10 eg So rough was the sea during this time that for seven of the days we did not set our mess ta- bles. We ate off our laps. On the ninth day we were pleased to be met by a little British destroyer named the ‘Mary Rose.“ She picked us up early one morning and came along flying the international signal, Wel- come to the American colors.’ “They were very glad to see us. Things were looking black. In the three previous weeks the submia- rines had sunk 152 British ships. We immediately had depth bombs installed so as to fight the subma- rines. The night before we entered the harbor at Queenstown a German submarine planted 12 mines right in the channel. Fortunately for us they were swept up by the ever-vigilant British mine sweepers before we ar- rived. “We escorted many ships and we saved many lives, I cannot say we sunk any submarines, The subma- found, was a very difficult He always seés you first. Only once did my vessel in seven months succeed in actually firing at a submarine. He then went down after the fifth shot was fired. At that he was five miles away. But what they are afraid of are the depth bombs. I cannot say posttive- ly that I sank any submarines. I saw results on several occasions which led me to believe that I had at least damaged one or two. Patrol Duty Trying. “The patrol duty was very trying, as the ocean was strewn with wreck- age for a distance of 300 miles off shore. It was hard to tell a peri- scope when we saw one. We fired at fish, floating spars and other ob- jects because we could not afford to | take a chance. The submarines | grew less active or did less damage 7 509.

There were frequent collisions and we had to use our judgment as to whether we should turn on the lights and avold danger of collision or take the risk of a sub- marine seeing us. We had to re- member that if a submarine sank us she only sank one ship. A serious collision might sink two ships so it was a matter of judgment.“ “The question is, can we beat the submarine?” he asked. I am sure we can if the people will do their part.“ Taussig said that there was com- plete co-operation between the American and British navies in for: eign waters. There is no friction, he declared. —— Commander J. K. Taussig is the son of Rear Admiral Edward D. Taussig,-retired, of St. Louis, who re- cently removed to Jamestown, R. L The Commander was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1898. He served in Phflippine and Chinese wa- ters. In 1902, when an ensign, Taus- sig received a medal from Corgress —— — U U —— — .

P.).—Secretary Daniels, discussing the dispatch from the American ing commandeered German ships now being used to transport Ameri- tween 600,000 and 700,000 tons. of former enemy shipping now is activo- ly engaged in augmenting the expe- ditionary forces and. maintaining their supply. The Leviathan, formerly the Vater - land, is capable of carrying up to 10,: 000 troops in a single voyage, Dan- iels said, but 8000 was considered comfortably accommodated. In con- nection with the repair of the Levia- than it was learned that alterations made by American engineers result: ed in the increase of seyeral knots in her speed. An instance of improve- ment over the work of German ship- builders was in the steam distribu- tion system, which was found to be so inefficient that a large part of the boiler power aid not reach the en- gines. The greatest single factor which operated for the quick return to serv- ice of the German ships was the use of new methods of welding by the engineers assigned to repair the dam- age done to the ships’ engines by their German crews. These permit- ted the repair of damaged engines without the necessity of removing the heavy parts and actual tests were said to have proved that these weld- ings are stronger than those made under old methods. 16 of Germans’ Largest Ships Have Reached Allied Ports.

BAKER OFFERS TWO WIVES AS DOUBLE EXCUSE FROM. SERVICE Chicagoan Concluded That Plural Grounds Wouldn't Hurt Chance to Escape Trenches. CHICAGO, Feb. charles Gar- ber, 21, a baker, is a married man— much. Charles believes in doing a thing well if at all“ So when he applied | for exemption from the draft on the ground of his wife Lililan’s deperd- ency, he concluded plural grounds wouldn’t hurt his chances to escape | the trenches. Accordingly Garber hied himself to the marriage license clerk with Miss Anna Brown and thence to the chambers of Chief Justice Olson: There, he says, he married Anna, who.is 19. Then his efficiency slipped a notch and he took his bride home to 2524 Cortez street, where wife No. 1 and his mother, Mrs. Josephine Garber, reside. Lilian was introduced to Anna as Charlie’s sister. With the knowledge and consent of the former, Charles appears to have played an encore on his honeymoon with his current bride. Then, after a quarrel between Mrs. Garber, mater, and Mrs. Garber, a priori, Mrs. Garber, tertius, was in- formed by his mother that Charley had sort of spread out in his affec- tions and marital activities.

AID IN EUROPEAN WATERS: ‘Nation Plans to Co-Operate With * lies With Warships and ° | Aviators, RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 31 (By A. P.). Admiral Pedro Pronti has been ap- pointed commander of the Brazilian fleet which will co-operate with the allles in European waters. Commenting on notes exchanged between the Brazilian Foreign Min- ister, Senor Nilo Pecanha, and the British Minister, Arthur Peel, on the subject of Brazil's naval contribution to the war, the Journal do Commer- cio lays stress on the firm determina- tion of Brazil to act, on the one hand by means of aviators sent to En- gland, and on the other hand, by =“ destroyer squadrons. For a long time it had been known that the Brazilian fleet would as- sume the responsibility of patrolling the entire coast line from the Guiana border to the southern boundary of Brazil. Brazil in her navy has been con- sidered equal in strength to the com- bined power of Chile and Argentina The pride of the Brazilian navy is her two modern dreadnaughts of 19,- 281 tons, the Minas Geraes and Sac Paulo, both of which were built in the United States: These vessels car ry 12-inch guns and subsidiary bat. teries. In addition Brazil has two coast defense ships, a number cf cruisers and gunboats, torpedo-boa’‘ destroyers, torpedo boats, subma- rines, mine layers, river monitors and miscellaneous vessels.

Great Britain and France have not been starved into submission and are in no danger of being tons of shipping a month that the U-boats were to sink, the total losses for the year have been little more than 5,000,000 tons. The British have lost 1033 vessels, of which 763 were of more than 1600 tons and 670 of less than 1600 tons. The French and the Italian losses are estimated at less than 1,000,000 tons, while the American losses are 171,061 tops. Against these losses, in addition to the: ships built during the year, must be counted 686,494 tons of German and Austrian shipping seized by the United States and put into commission. These ships, including thé Vaterland, rechristened the Leviathan, are now carrying American troops and American supplies to France. : During the year in which ruthless submarine warfare has been in unrestricted operation Amer- ican exports amounted to the unprecedented fig- ure of $6,226,000,000, an increase of $745,000,000, while imports amounted to 527952, 000, 000, an in- crease of 8560, 300,000. American imports and ex- ports together show a total increase of 81,305,300, - 000. We have an army of nearly 600,000 in France and thus far have not lost a single man on the transports. So much for the calculations of the German General Staff! But that is not the whole record. However critical the economic situation was in Germany a year ago, it is far more critical now. Except the blockade of Germany’s coast and ports by the British. navy, no heavier blow has been dealt to German power than the embargo order of Presi- dent Wilson which made it impossible for neutrals to export food into Germany and replenish their own stores from the United States. The results — |of this order have been staggering and the effect is continuing. It is something from which there can be no means of recovery unless Russia not only makes a separate peace but establishes a condition of political and economical stability which would permit the exportation of large quantities of food into Germany. That possibility, is more than remote. The German U-boat campaien has _ inflicted great losses upon allied and neutral shipping. It has forced Great Britain and the United States to bend their energies to the construction of new | vessels to replace the wastage and the danger is not yet over, in spite of the increased effective- ness of the anti-submarine campaign, for which the American navy deserves a great measure of credit. But regardless of total tonnage sunk, the experience of a year has proved that the U-boats cannot win the war for Germany. It is incon- ceivable that they can do as well in the future as they have done in the past and maintain the average for 1917. Frightfulness, in its mad undertaking to con- quer the world, has failed on the sea as it failed on land. Instead of crushing Germany’s enemies it has added to their number the strongest and most resourceful nation on earth. The world is still unconquered and autocracy still faces a democracy that is resolute and undaunted. ‘= = = — RIGHT AND MIGHT. In the first chapter of his new book, Deduc- tions From the World War,“ in Sunday’s Post- Dispatch, Baron von Freytag-:Loringhofen says: “We shall not put right before might, but equally little shall we and can we dispense with might.“ It is significant, and a hopeful fact, that Ger- man writers are beginning to admit that the lead- ers of Prussianism were unwise, to put it mildly, to claim that might is right.“ How oddly now reads Maximilian Harden’s as- sertion, in his Zukunft of Sept. 5, 1914, “Germany is striking. Who gave her leave? Her right is in. her might. Therefore she is waging a good war. One principle only is to be reck- oned with—force! Boast of that and scorn all twaddle. Force, the fist—that is everything.” Right was in a bad way when Germany, start- ed. And if might had conquered right, many there would have been, besides Prussians, who would have bowed down to the Might is 22 0 doctrine. Yet might and right are two distinct and ut- terly different concepts. Might can never BE right, nor can Right be might. Might is simply a means by which right or wrong, embodied in ‘good or evil men, strives for the mastery. But because the human race, as a whole, loves right, right has an appea) which, in the long run, brings to its defense a majority of the human race. And for this reason might, as such, cannot prevail. The world war will forever put an end to the delusion that the possession of power sanctions oppression. = = a ae THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION. The speech to public school alumni in New York made by Charles M. Schwab the other day was noteworthy as showing that one of the largest beneficiaries of the present industrial system seems to see more clearly than many others the probable direction of coming changes and ac- cepts unprotestingly and even approvingly their destructive influence on present safeguards of selfish interests and privilege. Call it Socialism or Bolshevikism or something else, said Mr. Schwab, upheavals in the social or- der are coming, which means also upheavals in the industrial order. The man who labors with his hands, who does not possess property,” he added, “is the one who is going to dominate the affairs of the world—not merely Russia, Ger- many and the United States, but the world.” The nations have sat at the feet of America for a hundred years to learn the lesson of political Gemocracy. It has seen the force of its example and instruction penetrate through unsuspected channels to the most remote and most backward s | quarters of the earth.

RAILROAD INDIGESTION. | Practical railroad men have a very clear and positive conviction where the railroad trouble Hes. They say the roads are suffering from an overdose of the “efficiency” with which they have been given absent treatment for the past dozen years or more by Eastern office special- ists. There is no difference of opinion about the present condition. It is plain indigestion. But the cause of the indigestion, the practical rall- road doctor says, is overloading, and back of the overloading is the “efficiency” which teaches that more overloading is the best thing in the world for a system that is already dverloaded. “Mfficiency,” as exemplified by theoretical railroad specialists, consists in taking the weight of the drivers, the size of the cylinder and the steam pressure of a locomotive and prescrib ing how many tons it ought to pull and issuing orders for that many tons to be coupled to it when it starts on a trip. Practical railroad men say that almost any locomotive, when it is new and 100 per cent efficient, can pull as many tons as the office experts prescribe for it, on @ nice warm day. When ege and infirmity have kastened upon it and the temperature is zero or below, its motor efficiency is 50 to 60 per cent But to the office experts all engines look alike |- and they are expected to do as much in foul weather as in fair. The practical railroad men, under orders from the office experts, overload the: engine and in- digestion results.. The engine, straining under excessive steam pressure, develops leaking flues and other internal injuries and jerks out the drawheads of tho cars and gets nowhere and Mocks the line and Keeps all the other trains trom getting anywhere. The remedy, the practical railroad men say, is to give the engine a load that it can pull and send it on its way, to bring another load back and carry still another load away, all in the time that it now uses in trying to pull a load that it cannot pull except on paper. Why not try the practical remedy? a a A „ THE RAT IN THE FLOUR BIN. The slacker who buys in large quantities and hoards foods of the kind the Government pik a to conserve for our armies in Europe and o r war associates is guilty of base cowardice and dis- loyalty. If the wheat and meat grabber were in danger of starvation we might excuse him on the ground of fear, base as that excuse would Be in the face of his country's peril and the needs of our sol- diers, but there is food enough of wholesome va- rieties for all the people. Selfishness alone prompts this hoggish creature. In order that he may satisfy his appetite and gorge his stom- ach with the particular food he likes, he tries to defeat the plans of the Government and endanger the safety of the country by depriving our soldier boys in France and our European comrades of food. Let our armies starve and the country go to destruction so he gluts his gross appetite. The food slacker is despicable. He is a dis- grace and a menace to the country. He is not a fit associate of patriotic freemen. If the Gov- ernment is forced to limit food sales and put the people on rations in order to save our European associates and win the war it will be due to the depredations of this species of the rat _— = | * * SECRETARY BAKER’S RESOURCES. There are at least 14 men in St. Louis who knew, or should have known, in advance, that Secretary Baker was going to give his Congressional ques- tioners an earful. These 13 men are the members of the Board of Freeholders, who wrote the present charter of St. Louis in 1913. Baker, who was then Mayor of Cleveland, spent one November afternoon with the Freeholders, talking of modern methods of city government. They heard him first for an hour in the City Club dining room; then a ride to the Municipal Courts Building, and he was at it again in the board’s room. After talking an hour there, he stopped long enough to ask if he might sit down, and if someone had a cigar. There wasn’t another inter- ruption until it was time to catch the evening train for Cleveland. And it wasn’t a mere talking off of the Free- holders’ arms. It was continuous, consecutive information, of just the kind they were after, and it was remembered and quoted through the rest of the board's existence. It was delivered withou' a hesitation, without a slip of the tongue, without a superfluous word, an abstract generality or a reference to the authority of “recognized experts.“ The Freeholders, by the way, did something thot the Military Affairs Committeé failed to do. They stumped Baker on a question. They asked him what he would do about the Free Bridge, and he said he didn't know. A NIGGER IN THE COAL PILE. It begins to look ae if there is a nigger in the St. Louis coal pile. Operators sent to Chicago to protect St. Louis’ interests come back saying they really think it would be a very nice thing for Chicago to control this city’s fuel. They point out that the Chi- cago interests desire nothing so much as that St. Louls shall have all the coal that it needs, even if Chicago has less than it needs, and that there- fore they will see to it that a man will be ap- pointed as distributor for the St. Louis field who will be friendly to St. Louis and will see to it that St. Louis gets plenty of coal. The drawback is that, even if the distributor 18 friendly to St. Louis, he will have a boss in Chi- cago and when the boss tells him to send coal to Chicago, his friendship for St. Louis will be a poor substitute for coal. This is no time for St. Louis coal operators to be occupying an equivocal position toward Chi- cago fuel-control schemes that are calculated to injure St. Louis. The inner groups of Mlinois mines belong to St. Louis as truly as if they side of the river. this If St. Louis finds it ——— ſ— 2 "way . 2 * . : . * 27 > er .

P — — 3 MR. ANTWINE AS TO COL. ROOSEVELT. * DON’T want to be numbered with those who question Col. Roosevelt’s motives, but I do think some of the things he says about our lost motion come with ill grace from a man who was not so long ago President for seven years,’’ Mr. Antwine said. The Germans spent almost 50 years 0 reads for this war. We all knew they were getting ready. Col. Roosevelt knew it. It would be fair to ask him what he did in those seven years to defend this country against such a foe. What he seems to expect of the Government now is that it match within a few months the preparations of half a century. When the Germans belittled us as a participant and said we could do nothing they did so without respect to the kind of Government we had. It did not matter to them at that late fay whether it were efficient or inefficient. We were still an unprepared country—one from whom nothing was to be feared. The Germans know about war. They know ‘much more about it, apparently, than Col, Roosevelt does, The makeshift division he pro- posed to take over at once amused the Germans and showed how much he knew about it. „The British, who were also unprepared, are our best critics. They know what it is suddenly to fly to arms against a country that has been getting ready for-half a century. The concern which they seem to feel for the headway we are making is not occasioned by ohr sh.wing, but by the utterances of men like Col. Rooseyait. England had such men. She knows how sound they aro an. she also knows how much trouble they can make. 1 suggest that Col. Roosevelt is called to the stand and asked what he did through seven years aaa of Pan- Germanism. | ° * * PRAYER OF OUR NATION.

BOTH BOXERS IN SHAPE Contest Scheduled to Go Eight Rounds — Strong Prelimi- naries Are Arranged. — — Doping a boxing bout depends largely upon two factors, viz: what a man has done and what he is in condition. to do now. After these | have been determined, speculate a little on the relative merits of the opponents, then pull the sheet out of the typewriter and throw it in the waste basket. After this operation go down anda | see the fight. Then you may be able to pick the winner. Ample proof that boxing dope sometimes isn't worth the energy expended in. writ- ing it has been furnished by no less than three contests within the past year. They ‘are Willie Jackson's knockout of Johnny Dundee, Kil- bane’s fall at the hands of Benny Leonard and the stopping of Kid Williams by Joe Lynch. There a2 ,. innumerable others. Both Claim Victory. All of which leads up to the sub- ject at hand: Tonight's encounter be- ‘tween Billy Cole and Benny McGov- ern at the South Broadway Athletic Club. Cole claims McGovern will not | survive eight rounds. McGovern is equally positive that he’H not only survive that distance but Cole’s friends will Rave to look twice to recognize him when the last bell sounds. The facts show this: MeGovern won azo and beat Harry ‘Kabakoff when he came back to St. Louis. Cole hasn’t been as fortunate, but he has been returned winner three times . during the past two months. It- is the opinion of a lot of sharps about town that beating Harry Kaba- koff doesn't give McGovern much to ising about. They hold that Benny, | with his experience, ruggedness and punching ability, should never have allowed Kabby to tarry 12 rounds, Cole’s Big Chance. Be that as it may, Cole isn’t secret- ing the fact that he will play for a knockout tonight. Such a_ victory always carries more prestige than a mere decision on points. It's Cole’s chance and he knows it, in he’s been trying for a return bout since McGovern outpointed him more than a year ago. 30th boxers are clever, each can | maintain a fast pace and carry a punch. The weight, 125 pounds, is such that each should be strong and in perfect condition, as it necessitated no strenuous training to get down to | the mark. McGovern undoubtedly will be the favorite, but not at allur- ing odds. There’s too much Cole money in circulation for that. Willie Colonna and Patsy Flanni- |} gan have been rematched for an 8 round semi-windup. “Red” Flannigan, | brother of Patsy, and Joe Shaller are down to furnish a 6-round prelim- inary.

He made the dis- tance in 16 4-5 seconds. 10 straight bouts in the East not long Success; but JARRETT TO BOWL OSCAR WHITEHEAD IN SPECIAL MATCH Tenpin Stars Arrange 14-Game Event to Be Rolled Next Saturday and Sunday. MANY TENPIN DUELS ‘HELD Jarrett’s Challenge to All Rivals Stimulates Interest; Bet- ting Increases. Special matches are getting to be an every-day occurrence on the local bowling alleys. No less than 20 have been held to date, while another will be begun Saturday night on the Western Rowing Club alleys. Brace Jarrett, who recently issued a chal- lenge to all pintopplers of the city, will be one of the principals. He will have Oscar hitehead as his opponent. The coming match will consist of 14 games, the second half to be rolled at Byrne’s on Sunday afternoon. This will be Jarrett’s fourth “money” match in as many wWoeks. His other three were with Carl Rit- ter. He was beaten in two of them. This same Ritter has developed into one of the best “money bowlers” in the city. Ritter has engaged in some- thing like 16 specials, and has been beaten only twice. His most notable victories came over “Chuck” Collier, the Windy City star, when the latter was here with Marino for the doubles clash with Stein and Schaefer. Jar: rett, Heine Schlenk and Steppacher have been among Ritter’s other op- ponents. Give Badly Needed Practice. Other matchés that have been rolled here this season, were those betweer. Marino and Stein; Whitehead and Stein; Whitehead and Deen, and sev- eral of minor importance. These “specials,” however, will give the local tenpinners a great deal of needed practice for the coming Amer- ican Bowling Congress tournament. There have been more of these matches here this year than ever be- fore. What's more the tenpinners generally risk thelr own money in the competitions. The match between Jarrett and Whitehead should be a closely con- tested one. The last time Jarrett rolled on the Western Rowing Club’s drives he totalled 714 for a 238 aver- age for three games. If he goes at this speed, Whitehead will have to travel at his best. Good Teams Roll Tonight. Four of the leading tenpin quintets in the city will be among the eight teams to compete tonight in the city scratch tournament now being staged on the Congress alleys. These fives are the Hyde Parks, Cabannes, Cob- webs and Jack Daniels. However, it will take some good rolling to beat the 2790 total owned by the Tebbes, at present leaders in the team event. The Hyde Parks at present are out in front in the Commercial League. Charley Healy’s aggregation has a 900 team average for the campaign. Besides Healy, Louis Waldecker, Jack Beresfori, Rudi Meyer and others are members of the outfit. The Cobwebs and Cabannes are Major City League starters. The rolling tonight will again be confined to the five-man event, with the Velvets, Le Gears, Juniatas and Trebos the other teams to compete. The matches start at 7:15 o’clock. Eight teams from Byrne’s alleys tried for high marks in the five-man. event, but fell down badly. The Byrnes: of the Commercial League were the leaders, with a total of 2608, this putting them in eighth place. The De Andreis counted 2660 for tenth. A 594 total for Ritter was high for the evening. ' Dennis J. Sweeney, secretary of the St. Louis Bowling Association yester- day mailed the final batch of local entries to the American Bowling Congress tournament, which will be held in Cincinnati next month. More than 20 local teams will make the trip, witn 16 of this number down to bowl on Feb. 21, “St. Louis day.” The tenpinners will roll their doubles and singles on Seb. 22, before the an- nual meeting is held. 70 Women Teams Enter. A. L. Langtry, secretary of the American Bowling Congresg who is handling the entry list for the wom- en’s national champtonship tourney to be staged in Cincinnati, starting March 11, sent word yesterday that 70 teams were assured for the event. This will be the largest entry ever received for a Woman’s tenpin tourna- ment. | According to the present plans, St. Louis will be represented by at least four teams. Just what four quintets will go has not yet been decided. KIECKHEFER IS IN TOP FORM IN ANGLE MATCH CHICAGO, Jan, 31.—Charles Ellis of Milwaukee won his fourth straight victory and retained his lead in the ambulance fund billlard tournament when he defeated George Moore of New York yesterday 60 to 34. August Kieckhefer of Chicago, challenger of De Oro for the world’s championship, played in wonderful form, defeating J. Moore of Chicago 50 to 41 and getting a high run of nine, the’ best mark so far. In the other games Clarence Jackson of De- troit lost to his teampriiate, Ray Paumer, 50 to 39, and Pierce Maupome of Cleveland defeated Palmer 56 to 42. — 0 —— | KLAIBER OUT OF HOSPITAL Edwin Klalber, star football player at Central High last fall, who recently |. underwent an operation to have u weed ‘tos semeved fa, SMe thigh. wale j SOs RMON 2 72 e Cold Waves Have 5 No Terrors.

St. Louis will recall the well-known hop“ horse, W. B. Gates, owned by the late Capt. R. R. Rice, who won 112 races. Gates required special treatment to be at his best, according to the prevailing belief around local tracks. The railbirds invariably watched his JIM FLYNN WILLING TO PROVE HIS “KAYO” OF DEMPSEY WAS NO FLUKE CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Hark to the voce of James Flynn, Yueblo’s fight- ing fireman. James refuses, under any circumstances, to remain in ob- scurity. His latest pronunclamento is directed at the head of Jack Demp- sey, who has come out of the West bent upon stirring up the Eastern heavyweights. „They're making a noise about this fellow Dempsey,” says Flynn. That's all right as far as advertising goes, but Dempsey and his manager must not forget me. I knocked Dempsey out once with a single punch, and he must remove that blot before he can class with the front-rank heavy- weights.” And a search of the records proved the truth of Flynn’s assertion. Flynn met Dempsey last February in Salt Lake City and the fight lasted just 10 seconds. Jim walked out of his cor- ner, clipped Dempsey on the chin with a right swing and they rang down the curtain. Dempsey must wipe out that knock- out before he can move into the front ranks of heavyweight challengers. GREAT’ LAKES TO HAVE 100 BASEBALL TEAMS CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—Organization of one hundred baseball teams at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station -next spring was the program mapped out today by Dr. John B.

Dempsey Boom Is On. ESS WILLARD says that Jack Dempsey, the Pacific. Coast heavyweight, is the best of his “‘logi- cal opponents,” and is superior to Fulton. He bases this view on the fact that Dempsey stopped a heavy- wecßht named Homer Smith in one round. Who is Homer Smith? Not much; for Bill Brennan, who is not even a recognized heavyweight ‘‘possibil- ity.“ previously knocked him out. not classify Dempsey by an- other one-round fight he once en- gaged in, namely that with the aged Fireman Jim Flynn? Flynn e Dempsey in one round! Applying the Flynn figh. o Ful- ton’s record, Dempsey looks some- thing like a millionaire’s income after the supertax hits it, as: Fulton knocked out Jim Fiynn, rounds, Flynn knocked out bende one round. Dempsey knocked out Smith, one round. Ergo, Smith must be the worst heavyweight in the world. Practically all of Willard’s argu- ments are based on just such solid foundations. If he does not get into the ring this spring or summer to defend his title his name ought not to be permitted to creép into print again. basket ball t 12 2 a League set a new } a sociation e Cherry Diamond 2 a score of 111 to be é tle, Wirtz’s aggregatioy United 1 them 6 ubbing the five a record of: 91 games. ee 4 7 The vietory c r the: last night give the 3 M.
