Ze the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I both thank and commend you for pub- lishing in -yesterday’s Sunday Magazine Lincoln’s letter to Hon. James C. Conkling. The following quotation ought to be placed in the editorial sanctum of every metro- politan newspaper and magazine in’ the country: “And there will be some black men who can femember that, with silent tongue and clenched teeth and steady © eye, and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation; whiie I fear there will be some white men unable to forget « that with malignant heart and deceit- ful. speech they have striven to hin- |. der it.’’ But such information has heretofore been withheld from:the public to keep the past, present and coming genrations Irom knowing that brave black meén to the numbér of 225,000 contributed materially toward preserving untarnished “the jewel of liberty in*the crown of nations.” the present our patriotism, loyalty and de- votion to the flag have been rewarded with . stripes and blows: ferent this deal. . “What Army Training Is Doing for the Drafted Negroes,’ which appeared in the Sunday Magazine Feb. 3, tends to cast ridi- cule,and contempt upon the negro, but it was, also a stinging arraignment of the peliey of the South, in withholding educa- tiene], advantages froin this nation’s most loyad, defenders. } If the great metropolitan dailies would | adopt-the policy of discussing matters con- cerning the Negro (spelling it with a capi- tal) with due respect, justice and consid- eration, it would deliver the juggernaut of caste such a powerful blow that it would goon tumble from its pedestal.

The demands of the men were not without some jus- | .tification. The enormous gains of war con- _tractors provided them with a suggestion. They | believed themselves as much entitled to special and unusual rewards as such employers as those of the Hog Island yard. ‘“‘We are ready to work for the-Government, but not for profiteering em- ployers,” they said. Besides, the wage they asked was already in force on the Pacific Coast. The serious phase of the strike is the thou- sands of hours’ work lost even under the speed- iest possible adjustment, at a time when every single hour’s work by every single man has im- portance. The Emergency Fleet Corporation had this pre- cise possibility in mind last fall when a labor board was instituted. and it was provided that all differences as to working conditions and wages must be settled without cessation of labor. All branches gf labor engaged in the shipyards agreed to this condition with one exception; the representatives of 14 unions signed it, but the signature of a fifteenth was lacking. The fif- teenth and the exception was the Carpenters’ Union, which has inexcusably stirred up the present tronble, furnishing an incontestible de- nial of their professions of patriotism. To insist that ship workers of whatever sort must individually and collectively observe in the future this indispensable condition of no cessa- tion of labor under any pretext of any kind, and without. exception or compromise, has become vital. ‘Then, with this thoroughly understood, if fur- ther frivolous strike delays come, the presumption of pro-German intrigue will become irresistible and those responsible can be dealt with accord- ingly. A strike of ship workers under present condi- tions is akin to mutiny in the army. = = ~~ = = A STORY-TELLER IN THE ARMY. A man who said he had stolen a sack of pota- toes and on that ground asked for deferred class- ification in’ the draft list, in accordance with a regulation that “moral unfitness” is a ground for exemption, was greatly surprised when the Dis- trict Appeals Board handed down its decision. Like Abou Ben Adhem, his name led all the rest and he was placed in Class 1-A, which is only a hop, skip and jump from the trenches. In making its decision the board probably did not take the material view that a man with so -unerring an instinct for potatoes would be a valuable addition to the army as a forager. Neither is it likely that the board regarded the stealing of a sack of potatoes from a commission merchant as an act of pardonable reprisal, or that his open confession purged him of the moral. taint. The solution of the problem was simpler than this. The board didn’t believe he stole the po- tatoes. As a thief he might have been unfit for military service, but as a liar he will make an ideal camp entertainer and dugout raconteur. > = _ SS Not only does President Wilson get down to brass tacks.

By the simple and accurate methods of testing the germinating quality of corn now generally used by intelligent planters, it has developed that much of the corn harvested last fall was touched by early frosts to such an extent that it is en- tirely without value for seed. Some tests as high as 80 per cent and very little as high as 90 per cent. This condition is described as nothing less than an appalling prospect for a season when bumper crops are a necessity. Unless 90 per cent seed corn is found there must be a great amount of re- planting, unless the planter is forewarned, and replanting is always dangerous. This condition prevails in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas, and perhaps other states. In these states the agricultural leaders are lites. Mekt Seal btadiaten: imaking an energetic campaign to prevent the ‘| planting of the poor seed. County agents are testing and discarding the home seed and mak- ‘ing arrangement to buy from the State agencies If only seed that tests low can be supplied, the planter can plant thicker than usual and in a measure protect his prospect. The Illinois Seed Corn Administration, 120 West Adams street, Chicago, is buying 90-100 per cent seed at $8.50 a bushel and selling it at $10, the pense, While $10 appears to be an extravagant ment. It is no disparagement of the legal attainments of the man Gov.

And to give validity to such principle may be of almost as much importance as the exercise of judgment in naming an incumbent. A question of residence as affecting eligibility has entered into the matter of the Governor's reported decision on the appointment. While a technical question, is it not more perilous to ignore it in the case of a judicial office than in the case of some other offices? Other things being equal, is a Judge whose sense of legal proprieties is satisfied through evasion of the point by subterfuge necessarily to be preferréd to a Judge holding more tenaciously to the intent of the law? whose preva- ‘the same conclusion in studying State and mu- Can such a “residence” as satisfies the Con- stitution be acquired in a less space of time than 60 days? a > oe Germany and Austria are in a dispute over the division of Poland.

RA se ‘oS ~ + ~~ ¥ A committee of eminent economists, appointed by the United States Treasury Department, has been studying the science of saving for the war. Their conclusion is that saving is ineffective un- less the saver does without some nonessential that he would have bought had there been no war. The illustration given. by the committee is that a person intending to by a motor car that is not an industrial necessity, does not save if he buys bonds with the-money first, then borrows the price.of the-motor car ‘and goes ahead and buys it, .The only way to do, say the men of learning, is to do without the car. It appears that some men in Texas and Kan- sas, who’ may not be so well known as the Wasb- ington committee in economic circles, had reached ‘nicipal finances before the Washington report, was made public. In Texas a committee of legis- | lators has recommended that State departments | now costing $1,000,000 a year be abolished and the | work divided among other departments as a bai | economy measure and to continue ever after. In| Kansas the League of Municipalities has recom- | mended that all public improvements be suspend- | ed except in cases where the work is necessary | to health.

When one of the standpat farmers wishes to express his entire contempt for the new school of farm scientists or “book farmers,’ as he dubs them, he points with scorn to the ‘awful cost of the experiment stations and other new-fangled work.” For years the newer farmers have rather treated the standpatter with scorn and when they did answer his point as to cost, the sum seemed rather large, because the method of states is to appropriate for experimental work in two-year budgets. But Director E. R. Lloyd of Mississippi has spiked this argument, for in his annual report he has shown the ratio of expenditure to the num- ber of farms in the State, and he proves that dur- ing 1917 the cost of experiments was exactly 9 This brings it down to the average taxpayer and he can decide for himself whether the work pays or not. From an entirely different, but offi- cial, source some figures on the crops are avail- able. Mississippi formerly had but one crop— | cotton. The staple was sold and everything used | was bought. Last year the corn crop in the State | was worth $33,000,000, against $3,000,000 the year | before. Hogs jumped from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000, | cattle from $6,000,000 to $7,500,000, milk ship- ments from $100,000 to $800,000 from 1916 to 1917. | These crops are practically the result of experi- | mentation work. They are, of course, only a part. The experiment stations have established the market for the hogs, the cattle and the milk, as part of its many advancements. So the work is certainly worth 9 cents a farm. = = —_— = The man who helps to build a ship will be a | big factor in helping to win the war. 4 THE ONE OBSTACLE TO ——— | JUST A MINUTE THE DEMONS OF THE SNOW.

We were beating up the great plateau of Central America toward San Jose. I was standing out on the platform looking at the coffee growing beside the way. Suddenly we emerged from behind a height of land on the right, and there, beautiful as a dream— its great blue stack silhouetted against a red sky—a light gray film of smoke streaming straight across the horizon—a picture like nothing else I had ever. seen —was Irazu! ‘Great Caesar!’’ I exclaimed to the brakeman who was standing beside me. ‘‘Is that a volcano?’’ ‘*The volcano Irazu,’’ he said. ‘‘In a little while we shall see Cartago, which Irazu has twice knocked down.’’ ‘*‘Do you mean it just goes Bang like the gashouse, and knocks everything down on this plateau?’’ I asked, ‘* Not just that way,’’ the brakeman answered. (Don’t fool yourself about the brakeman. He was a Jamaican black, and all the Jamaican blacks speak better English than is dictated and written on Wash- ington avenue.) ‘‘What generally happens is this: The volcano gets a big head of steam on, and causes an earthquake. In a few minutes you will see Mr. Carnegie’s peace palace at Cartago, which Irazu knocked down last May just as the workmen were finishing it up.’’ ‘*‘Then Irazu has internal hemorrhages, so to speak?’’ I suggested. ‘*That’s it,’’ the brakeman agreed. ‘‘It has been a long time since it blew up, but it has rocked all this country pretty hard a good many times. It constant- ly smokes.’’ A moment later we went through Cartago—still picking itself up. It stands within plain sight of Irazu, which has swatted it twice. Like the great gun that it is, Irazu commands all Costa Rica. Living under it is a good deal like living under the guns of Prussia. (I think I have told you why the Swiss have holes in their cheese. It is because they feel it best, even while eating, to keep their eyes on the Germans.) Well, the Costa Ricans, constructively speaking, have holes in their hats.

HE boys behave pretty well over here. ‘Some fall down with a splash on pay day, but you couldn’t get together thousands ofisoldiers of: any nationality on earth without having trouble with a certain nurfwtr. So we sée a few dat occasionally, in spite of.the rigid precau- tions taken: to prevent this and the fact that the punishment is very severe. That ‘| is unavoidable. We don’t permit a drop of booze in the messes or camps that are un- der our control; but the French retain’ con- trol of their towns, and if they want to sell wine in their cafes it is none of our busi- ness. regulations in regard to patronage of these places by our own troops. What I want to emphasize is the low percentage of crimes. A few men may get lit up and go around telling what they'll do to the Kaiser and Ol’ Man Hindenburg, but serious offenses are mighty rare. We had to hang one fellow; but boiling in off would have been too good for him, and there wasn't a man in his regiment who didn’t think so. It was a fine object les- }son of American justice to the French. They flocked from miles round to see the execution; and now that the whole coun- try knows that any offense against the civilian population by our soldiers will be punished with an iron hand. Of all that has happened over here so far, and be- yond every tribute paid ns for our work in training and in. the trenches, I am proudest of a little incident that occurred the other night. I was at division headquarters, which is in a town of about 11,000 population. It was fairly late, and dark as the michief. The alerte had sounded for an air raid, and consequently even the few lights which are wsually permitted in the streets were doused. All the windows were carefully curtained; none of the people moved about, and our own men had long since gone to bed in their barracks and billets.* Well, I started from the chief of staff's office to my billet along a deserted, stone-paved, echoing street. It was dark as a tomb; I had to feel my way for fear of tripping. From somewhere in the sky came an angry hum, and looking up I perceived a tiny light winking amid the black clouds: one of the French airmen, who had gone up to tackle the invader, was signaling to the others. Suddenly somebody emerged from a side street and bumped into me, and I made out two dim, shawled figures. . One was a woman, the other a young girl. They screamed and ran. “Don’t be frightened!" I shouted. Instantly they stopped. One of them gave a nervous laugh of relief. “Tt’s all right, child,” she said in French, “He’s American.” East and West. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. J UST what gave rise to the idea no one seems to know, but there exists in the minds of a number of thinking people an indefinable feeling that somewhere on the Pacific coast of the United States there is to be a city in which the East and West will finally be harmoniously welded. Orient- al and Occidental peoples have quite dif- ferent philosophies. Their reasonings con- cerning governments and social customs are formed upon different bases. The Bast is mystic, the West realistic. At least they are so in the structure of their civili- zations. But Volney, in his “Ruins of Bm- pires,” quite clearly shows that the reli- ,gious philosophies of the West had their origin east of the Euphrates, and all phi- |losophy, when pursued behind scientific |'demonstration into the realm of metaphys- \ics, is found to spring from, or at least | to accord with the ancient mysteries of |Egypt. Our own Christian religion came through Moses and the prophets, whose education and instruction were rooted in Egyptian astrology and metaphysical spec- ulation. The trend of civilization from the Northern countries has been around the earth toward the American countries. The trend of emigration of the Southern coun- tries comes the other way, through China and Japan. It is not impossible that these will meet and bank up somewhere, seeking for an answer to life’s problems. And it may be that this wonderful Puget Sound country is to be the university in which the great truths of the Orient and the Occident are to be joined for the higher understand- ing of humanity.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1918. : ost ‘BATTLE LINE HELD BY THE AMERICANS Continued From Page One. Verdun and Belfort among French . It was also quite obvious that this front might in time be ex- fended southward until the Ameri- _ hold all the line from the Swiss frontier to the Moselle. This would be something over 100 miles long, as contrasted with about 50 for the former. Such a front would be entirely dis- tinct both from the _ British and French. . A reorganjzation and re- construction of some railroad lines would enable the Americans to sup- ply and munition their troops from the French ports south of Le Havre, without interfering with French or Wilkinson’ S- | Seven-O0-Seven Olive | SHIRT SALE Positively Our Last Cut-Price SHIRT EVENT for This Season!

Final Week of tetee evel}: wopes I End-vf. the. Svasan Sa. iz This important event is drawing to its eonclusion. pation before it is to We suggest your partici- o late. British lines of communication. And this is the first essential. The sep- aration of grades in railroad con- structions is not more important than the separation of railroad lines in maintaining armies. The first problem of the Americans was to re- build and reorganize the French rail- roads in such fashion as to give them direct and adequate communication, subpject to no interference growing out of any emergency o nthe French or British fronts. Only then could they begin to take over a portion of the front. Now we may assume that this task has been pushed forward to such a point as to enable a beginning to be made and we may conclude that it will be carried on further until the American troops are supplied with adequate communications to main- tain from 500,000 to 1,000,000 men on the front between the Moselle and the Swiss frontier. When this work is completed the alHed front will actually resemble one army’s front, the right wing held by the Ameri- cans, the center by the French and the eft wing by the British, each having its own independent organi- zation and communications and each capable of conducting either de- fensive or offensive operations on its own front without relation to the needs or emergencies of its neighbor. Some Sentimental Reasons. It was in part at least because of the problem of communications, I believe, that our troops were sent to Lorraine. To put them elsewhere would have meant to reorganize the 'French and British front, in Cham- pagne, Artois or Flanders, while that |front was active and thus disarrange | all allied operations last year, for the | Ww ork had@ to be begun just as soon as an American contingent was or- dered to France. But the Lorraine front was inactive, had been inactive for nearly three years and, until the Russian collapse was complete, Ger- many had no reserves to use in an offensive there. So much for the reasons why Pershing’s army is in Lorraine; if you add that the French naturally appreciated the moral value of plac- ing our troops opposite their lost provinces, both because these troops would see and inform their fellow- countrymen of the basis of French desire to reconquer their own and be- cause they believed that if Alsace- Lorraine were reconquered by Amer- | ican troops it would be retained for France in any peace negotiations with American approval, I think you have summed up the whole case, but the sentimental considerations seem to me far less important than the material. We were put in the one place where we could be put with the least difficulty and greatest ad- vantage, in a place where no imme- diate attack, dangerous for newly trained troops, was to be expected. Now, as to this country itself, what is the region like, the region in which so many thousands and even hundreds cf thousands of American troops are to represent us in our ‘irst European campaign? Actually the Americans hold some little stretch of front between the Vosges and the Heights of the Meuse, in the great gap between these two natural obstacles, through which so many invasions have come in the past cen- turies, the gap through which the yermans sought to penetrate in 1914 as they did in 1870. In this gap were fought in August and September some of the bloodiest engagements of the whole war and on either side | of the present battle line stretches a district of destroyed villages and towns, of which Vitrimont and Ger- beviller are but the most famous ex- amples. A Strange Iand. This region is in reality a great plateau, a shoulder of the Vosges, ex- tending to the Ardennes, cut deeply by many swift-flowing and clear streams, which gather to make the Metrthe and the Moselle consider- able rivers even before they unite below Nancy. In this rolling coun- try there are high hills from which you have broad outlooks and two of these hills or groups of hills, the Grand Couronne east, and the Saf- fais-Belchamps plateau west of the Meurthe were the bulwarks of the French resistance, when they made their last desperate stand after their heavy defeat at Morhange in August, 1914. I know of no American country- side quite like this. The little vii- lages are mainly without shade trees, they suggest vaguely some of the that care which is characteristically French. I do not think the portion of our American troops who come from New England, from northern New En- gland, will feel any great strangeness in the landscape in which they are now living. They will find much to remind them of home, far more than they would find in Flanders or even in Artois. They will, too, feel at home, I am sure, beside the rapid little rivers, so clear and so beautiful. Save only in the winter months, it should be a pleasant sector, so far as climate is concerned. At the south- ern end lie the Vosges, the valleys filed with towns famous as summer resorts, but I shall not now discuss this Vosges sector, because I do not believe we'shall take it over for many months. Now as to the front between the Meuse near St. Mihiel and the Mo- selle at Pont-a-Mousson, in which the recont German official statements place the American troops at the present time. Of this regian, I shall say but little just now for obvious reasons. It is a stretch of some 20 miles on the south side of the famous _. » Continued on Next Page. 6 Nis Eight-piece Adam_ design, ine brown mahogany mahogany sgn ogany suite, very eet regular sale price Eleven piece, William and | MMMM MMMM ture, extra quality; Eleven piece, Louis XVI dinin best Grand price Nine-piece Heppelwhite nut; regular price sale price Nine-piece William and price $525.00; Nine-piece Heppelwhite make; regular apids sale price $406.00; Dining- Room Suites regular price, $198.00; sale peice, Nine-piece HeppelWhite, genuine ining-room_ suite; regular price $228.00; sale price, $189.00 jece Adam design, yonene price yes 00; walnut dining suite, exquisite inlaid walnut, soft brown color; $390.00 dining suite, genuine mahogany, Grand $325.00 SINICA Hitt ast Week of— L_ammerts 1OTY G& WASHINGTON Semi-Annual Clearing Sale This Week Is Your Last Opportunity to Purchase Lammert Celebrated Fine Quality Furniture at Below Regular Prices E savings are all the more important when you con- sider that Lammert prices are alWays consistently low, far lower than those of any other store in St. Louis, due to our enormous volume of business and the fact that we do not permit extended payments. this is the fourth week of this sale, those who attend this sale this week will find it just as interesting as the first Thousands of Beautiful Articles of Lammert Quality Furniture In spite of the fact that day, because we have replenished our stocks with fresh shipments, and have placed many new pieces on our floors fresh from our warehouses.

These villages stand on gently rolling hills, many of them with hardly more than a single street. @ They suggest prox- imity to an open frontier by a cer- tain impermanence, as if the inhab- itants, foreseefhng long the charac- ter of the invasion that was to come, hesitated to waste effort in adorn- ing them. Looking eastward from the Grand Couronne or from the Saffais Pla- teau one sees a succession of rolling ridges, on a clear day a very wide countryside is visible. From the old frontier a number of small rippling streams, little more than brooks, come down rapidly to the Meurthe which flows in a valley suggestive of the Upper Hudson or the Merrimac, or, better sti, the Connecticut. In places the sky is darkened by the smoke of furnaces, for all this region is full of iron and much of French war material is made here. Yet the general nature of the country does not suggest an industrial land, like Pittsburg or the “Black Country” of England. Famous Fighting Ground. Toward the frontier, which for a long distance follows the little river Seille, a stream which falis into the Moselle at Metz, there are many for- ests, forests famous forever for the desperate fighting of the early days of the war. From the Grand Mont at the southern end of the Grand Couronne, it is possible to get an illu- sion of looking down into a real Adir- ondack forest, with little lakes scat- tered through the woodland. Look ing toward Germany, too, the im- pression of wilderness increases, al- though it is hardly an accurate tn- pression, for the fields and even the hilisides are mainly cultivated with =, 66-inch Buffet $83.00 8 ft. by 54 in.

It has never been seriously threatened by the Germans in the present war. If the German |. statements are correct, it is the town nearest to.the present American trenches.

Nancy, the most considerable, is one of the half dozen towns of France that are best worth knowing. It was once the capital of a King, oddly enough a King of Poland, and he spent a fortune and a lifetime im beautifying it. It is a city of mag- nificent squares and broad parks, with beautiful monuments and ar- cades, a city that has the real flavor of a capital, not merely the rather dull life of a provincial city. Living on the edge of an open frontier has served to give a peculiar vitality to the population, which today lives and works within hearing of the Ger- man guns and is subject to frequent afr raids. Once the Germans had guns in positions to bombard it and a few buildings were destroyed, but this danger is passed for the mo- ment, at least. Nancy will be, doubtless, in the near future a familiar place for 4 | . S ° .

There never was anything so safely quick, so certainly affective. No difference how badly your stomach is upset you usually get happy relief in five min- utes, but what pleases you most is that it helps to regulate your stomach sour, so you can eat your favorite foods’ without fear.

Radcliffe of Kirk- wood, an aerial observer, has depart- ed for service in France. Recently he completed a course in aerial observation at Fort Sill, Ok. As a former member of A Battery, Radcliffe was in service on the Mexican border in 1916. He arene) ed the first officers’ training camp at Fort Riley, receiving a commis- | sion as Second Lieutenant. He was assigned to the 34l1st Field Artillery at Camp Funston and later sent to Fort Sill. He is 23 years old and resided with his mother, Mrs. Min- nie Radcliffe. a widow. WOMAN WHO SPENT GREATER PART OF TWO YEARS IN BED FINDS NEW LEASE OF LIFE Helpless and Tortured With Rheumatism of Joints, Now Healthy and Happy—Adds Crutches to Boston Collection Var-ne-sis’ ‘*Tt means a new lease of life to me to go about as I do now,”’’ said Alice V. Turenne of 121 Second street, Leeminster, Mass. ‘‘The greater part of two years [ spent in bed; not only was I help- a MRS. TURENNE ON CRUTCHES less but I suffered agony every hour. |My knees were frightful to look upon, swollen to almost twice their nat- ural size 1nd as stiff as two sticks of wood. The only way I could ease | ADVERTISEMENT. the terrible pain was to place two pillows against the knees to keep them from rubbing together. ‘‘I was propped up in bed with pillows on both sides of my back be. cause of the extreme tenderness of my spine. I could not stand even the pressure of the bed clothes on my back. ‘*My feet were quite useless, swol- len terribly, and every time I at- tempted to move the pain would make me sick. I also had sciatic rheuina- tism. The pain would start at my hips and run down my legs to my toes. It was as though a red-hot iron was searing the flesh. It is impossible to describe what I have gone through, and only one who suffers from chronic rheumatism can understand. ‘*Treatment of various kinds failed to relieve me, and J was completely discouraged, when I heard of Var-ne- sis. Friends persuaded me to try the medicine, as it was helping so many others. After taking Var-ne-sis I was able to go about on crutches and grad. ually recovered so that I disearded my eane. During my illness I fell away to ninety pounds. Var-ne-sis not only cured my rheumatism, but helped my stomach from the first and gradually I regained my former weight. I am well and strong today, thanks to Var-ne- e.”” Rev. Paul M. Cayer of 56 Willow street, New Bedford, Mass., verifies the condition Mrs. Turenne was in, and watched her progress from help- lessness to recovery with marked in- terest. Var-ne-sis is the one preparation for chronic rheumatism of the joints; it tends to help the stomach and does not harm the heart. Send to W. A. Varney, Lynn, Mass., for the Story of Var-ne-sis.

According to the late Wil- liam Winter, Mantell, “by right of ability, efficiency and professional achievement, is now the legitimate leader of the American stage.” At least since the retirement of E. H. Sothern and the death of Sir Herbert Tree, he remains without a rival as a Shakespearean actor. His most recent appearance here was as Jaques in the open-air per- formance of ‘As You Like It,” in Vegetable Bouquets in Austria.

He Guarantees a Simple Home Treatment Given Without the Knowledge of the Drinker. Cleveland, O.—No wife has a right to let her husband drink: for alcoholism is a disease, and a drunkard is a sick man, says Druggist Brown of Cleve- land. A woman can cure this disease —stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would spend on liquor in the same time. The habit can be broken and the disease cured. Thousands of cases prove it, and every community has its reformed drunkard. Druggist Brown says the right time to stop the drink habit is at its begin- ning. Left to run its course it will deaden the fine sensibilities of the man vou love. Begin with the first whiff of liquor on his breath, but do not despair if he has already gone from bad to worse until he has become a rum-soaked Brown knows the curse of strong drink, for he himself has been a victim. A loving sister. withour his knowledge or consent, rescued him from the brink of a drunkard’ S grave, and for BO Druggzist other Who Lets a Man Drink Says Druggist Brown 10 years kept her secret. She saved him from drink-—-rescued him from his own depraved, besotted self by giving him a secret remedy, the formula of an old German chemist.

He has the temerity of his ideals. The engagement will open tonight with Bulwer-Lytton’s ‘‘Richelieu,” in which the role of the Cardinal-states- man, bearing up with majesty and genius against powerful enemies, provides a favorite vehicle for char- acter actors. Although by no means a poet, Bulwer-Lytton succeeded in what was beyond the powers of greater men, such as Shelley, Brown- ing and Tennyson, in that he was able to create poetic dramas with vi- tality enough to live on the stage. The other performances will be as follows: Tomorrow night, “The Merchant of Venice;’” Tuesday night, ‘“‘Hamilet;” Wednesday matinee, “Romeo and —Juliet;” Wednesday night, “Louis XI;” Thursday night, “King Lear;” Friday night, ‘Mac- beth;” Saturday afternoon, ‘The Merchant of Venice,” and Saturday night, “Richard ITI.’’ “Lowis XI” is a historical drama in three acts by Jean Francois Casi- | mir Delavigne, a French poet of note | of the nineteenth | It was adapted for the En-| in the first half century. glish stage by W. R. Markwell, and held a favorite place in the repertory of Sir Henry Irving throughout his career.

Mantell’s leading woman is his wife, Miss Genevieve Hamper. For the week beginning ncxt Sun- day night, the Jefferson Theater will present a Gus Hill minstrel show headed by George Wilson and Eddie | Mazier.

JURY OUT FOR SIX HOURS | Defendants Arrested in Yard of Explosives and Gasoline. After one juror had stood ogt for acquittal for six hours and it was apparent there was no chance for agreement, Judge Miller, at noon yesterday, discharged the jury in the attempted arson case against Max Greenburg. Edward Milner and Michael (Split) Connors, charged with being ‘“‘torches” in a plot to burn the Christen Bellows Co. plant. | | Louis Cadeiux of 3401 Eads ave-| nue, foreman, in the presence of 10 | other jurors, after their discharge, | made it known that the juror who held out for acquittal was Harvey | Fox, a woodworker, of 2435 South | Second street. The first ballot, 11 | to 1 for conviction, was taken five | minutes after the jury went out at! '5 p. m. Friday. When they had not! /agreed at 9 p. m. they were per-. mitted to go home, resuming delib- | erations at 10 a. m. yesterday. In explaining his vote to the other | jurors, Fox said he was convinced | | by testimony and the argument of | ‘Simon S. Bass, attorney for the de- | 'fense, that there was no attempt at | arson because the arrest was the re- | ‘sult of a plot between the police and | the Christen company, and that it |'was never intended the plant should | | be burned. | Special Prosecutor Harvey argued | | that the finding of gasoline and ex- plosives in the possession of the. _three defendants when they went to, | the factory showed that they intend- | | ed to burn the plant. | The arrest of Greenburg, Milner | 'and Connors was made in the ship- ping yard of the Christen plant on the afternoon of Sept. 11, 1915, after they had driven there in a wagon|§ containing explosives, several barrels | of gasoline and a roll of fuse. | Joseph C. Christen, president of ithe company, had seemingly acqui-| 'esced in a plot to increase‘ the in- | {surance on the plant and then have | money. At the trial he testified that he made this arrangement with Ju- | lius R. Bersch, an insurance agent | whose trial on an attempted arson | charge is still pending, and with '| Herbert 0. Baker, an insurance ad- | juster, who has appeared as a wit- | ness for the State in other arson | trials. Christen, on the witness stand, said | he agreed with Bersch and Baker to. increase the insurance by $35,000 and. permit them to burn the pliant, it be- | ing understood that $5000 should go to the “torches” who were to do the. actual work of destruction and the: remaining $30,000 was to be divided | between them and the two insurance | men. Without the knowledge of | Bersch and Baker, Christen in-| formed the police. A detective anda. stenographer, hidden in a wardrobe | in his office, overheard conversations | between Christen, Bersch and Baker. | This was made easier by the fact. that Christen is somewhat hard of) hearing and it was necessary for the insurance men to talk unusually loud. At the trial of the alleged ‘“‘torch- | es” Christen testified that he admit- | ted them to the factory yard when. they arrived there on the appointed Saturday afternoon and that, as pre- | viously arranged, they used the pass- | word “‘Bersch” ir making themselves ‘known to him. Chief Allender and detectives were in hiding in the yard and arrested | the men when they drove in. Morris) Greenburg, who also was with the | wagon, later “jumped” his $200 com-. mon law bond. He has never been rearrested. } i } | i Diamond "Rings. Pay $1 a week. Loftis Bros. & Co., 2d fi., 808 N. 6th st.—ADYV. MAN TARRED AND FEATHERED BEING TREATED IN ST.

The eleventh annual St. Louis Au- tomobile Show will open at the Ex- hib?t Building, which was formerly the Southern Hotel, Monday, at 7 p. m. This eleventh effort of the St. Louls Automobile Manufacturers’ and Dealers’ Association promises to be the most attractive of the series. The old Southern has been remod- eled, cleaned, polished, decorated and brought back again to the at- tractiveness that made it famous for s0 many years, when it was a world- famous hostelry, which entertamed as its guests the leading men of the world, whenever they came to this city: The Automobile Show in St. Louis has developed with the same prog- res& that the automobile industry has. The first show was held 11 years ago at the Jai Ali Building. The next was at the Coliseum, the third was at the Coliseum, the fourth at the First Regiment Ar- mory, the fifth, sixth seventh, eighth and ninth at Forest Park Highlands. The tenth was in the Overland Building, and the eleventh is housed in the building that has been the stopping place of Princes ang statesmen. | There are 45 exhibitors of motor cars, who will show 60 makes of cars, or about 225 models. All of theBe are passenger cars, as it was not: found possible to show the trunks in the limited space of the Exhibit Bufiding. ; Big Accessory Exhibit. The necessary displays are the mogt complete and varied that have ever been accommodated at the St. Lotis show. The two lines of hotel rooms running south on Broadway and: Fourth street have been utilized for; accessory showings, and about 65 firms will show their ltmes of car necessities and luxuries. Twenty ex- hibltors have taken entire rooms for their displays and, in no instance, are:‘there more than two exhibitors tn & room. There are two large dis- plays of fancy commercial car bod- jes. . The scheme of decoration through- out: the building is striking. A pro- fuston of flags of the allied nations will. be used in various groupings; interspersed with the flags and dra- peries, which will cover all of the bars space in the great building, will be @ profusion of vines, dogwood and peath blossoms, palms, ferns, bay treés and Southern smilax. The dec- orators, Grimm & Gorly, have brolight from California a novel dec- oration known as the woodwardia SPrRy, which is to be used in pro- fusién. There will also be a large Am@rican eagle plaque and American shields. The large marble colmns in the center of the hotel rotunda will be left! bare, as they are the most won- derful columns in the United States. The: art glass windows, which were a striking feature of the hotel, will be -left open and lighted from he- hinf.- A’ novel feature of the show will be the matinee price, which will ap- ply:in the afternoon to 6 o'clock. Thé:night admission will be 50 cents, and:the matinee price 25 cents, with wat. tax of 5 cents at night and 3 cents for the afternoon. :: Soldiers Free Two Days. A large space has been set aside by the Show Committee for the Fuel Adfministration, which will make an exhibit through the St. Louis Fuel Committee. The Show Committea hag decided that its patriotism will not: be confined to bunting and flags, and:on Tuesday and Thursday free adiitission will be given to all Ameri- can soldiers in uniform, and to mem- bers of the St. Louis Home Guard in uniform. The war tax will also be waived. The men in the automo- bilé trade who are members of the Home Guard, and who are in attend- ande at exhibits, will appear in uni- form those days. Invitations were mailed to every known dealer in automobiles in ter- ritory surrounding St. Louis. This inclades the dealers in Missouri, Southern Illinois, Kentucky, Ten- neskee, Mississippi, Arkansas, with a tickets of admission were mailed to! each of these. There will be but one entrance to the show, which will be in the grand porte cochere on the Walnut street front of the building.

These lungheons will be open to all men in the automobile or acces- sory business. a Washing Car Radiator. When it is necessary to clear the radiator spaces of accumulated mud you should flush the radiator from the rear, not from the front. In that way you avoid getting water into the magneto, which is often short-circuit- ' WHY THE MOTOR CAR IS BUSINESS NECESSITY “The curtailment of passenger traffic to a degree of 20 per cent in some parts of the country will not work such a hardship as supposed,”’ is a statement from R. C. Rues- chaw, vice president of the Mitchell Motors Co. Inc., of Racine, Wis. “Just as the motor truck relieved the freight problem in the short hauls and some long ones also, so can the automobile relieve the pas- senger traffic at this time. “The automobile is a necessity in these days,‘ where’ transportation means the saving of time and money; educated to flying along the high- ways and moving goods at from 15 to 30 miles an hour, will not go back to walking and slow moving and ex- pensive horse hauling. “Season and weather are not to be considered as in past years when they are looked upon as a handicap to business. And yet it is not so long ago that with the first frost the motor car was locked up in the garage. But not today; the motor car has shown us the short cuts and the time to be saved so it is used the year around, and in very cold weather, as the St. Louis car strike has proven. “The modern business man today must be alert, confident and pros- perous to carry on his work. The greater effort. He must have an ally to meet unusual needs for the |man who finds more time to do big- ‘ger things through the use of his |'motor car.” OVERLANDS LEADERS IN FAVORED BODY DESIGNS A careful inspection of the ex- hibits in the St. Louis Automobile Show will lead the seeker after in- formation concerning the trend of automobile body designs to but one conclusion and that is that ‘“con- 'servatism” is the popular feature. Back in the beginning of 1917 Willys-Overland Ine., of Toledo, caused more or less of a stir in trade circles when it announced a com- plete new line of cars with spectac- ular and sensational body treatment Practically eliminated. The change in design had to do largely with im- provements in interior body con- struction such as additional leg room, greater comfort-giving advan- tages, neat but not gaudy furnish- ings, durability in upholstery and simplification of driving ce ntrol The Willys-Overland instance is cited for the reason that an an- nouncement a year ago of such an important line with so few radical | changes in exterior appearance was comparatively a new departure in the introduction of new models. However, the general exhibition this year will indicate that Willys- Overland designers accurately fore- saw the general trend of body con- struction. | he Sa ae ge acs I. G. McNiece, president of the Cadillac Auto Co. of St. Louis, says the removal of carbon deposits has * j been made easy in the Cadiliaé Bight. by the use of detachable cylinder heads. Each cylinder head is secured tq the block by 20 studs. The surfaces ~ of the block and head are ground — 5 and between them is a copper-cov- ered asbestos gaskets, which pre= vents the leakage of gas or water, Also the smoothly machined sur- face of the combustion made possible by the detach head construction, is claimed to re~ duce the tendency of carbon to ad- here in the first place. ed when moisture enters it. and the public, having once been} automobile can be his incentive to : : = ———— meee Sas eee — = =— +n ne — a Se Se — —— = = = —__ . = i — Ss ts — r — — 7 ao anewenmne — —— a = ) ——H Custom-Made f Duesenberg = pS (Re NN re ’ * : ——— Bod Ul OTTl O l ES M : — — otor “ Es oe tb — BIDDLE medium-sized car with individuality of lines. combine pre-eminence in balance and perfect mechanism.

REO BUILT GOOD CARS long years before most of those now in the business had started. REO AUTOMOBILES HAVE al- ways been good automobiles— rugged, dependable and famed from the first for Low Upkeep. SO SOUND HAS BEEN REO en- gineering you have seen less Reo Models than of any other make— bar’ none. THAT FACT ALONE should indi- cate to the prudent buyer that he would be more certain of choosing right if he just closed his eyes and said “Reo” than if he shopped for weeks up and down the Row. WHEN YOU CONSIDER, for ex- ample, that the predecessor of this new Reo Light Four—that wonder- ful Reo the Fifth—was standard in practically the same form for eight seasons while its competitors changed yearly and oftener, the natural conclusion must be that it was a marvelous product. THIS NEW LIGHT FOUR is a re- . finement of that Reo. IN ALL MECHANICAL ESSEN- TIALS it is the same—but refine- ments have been made wherever cur UP TO THE MINUTE in design— every line and curve and every de- tail of finish is in the latest style. AT THE NEW YORK SHOW _ where dealers and the public got the first glimpse of this latest Reo the exclamation most often heard was “At last the Reo Four looks a - good as it is!” AND THAT SUMS IT UP—mechan- ically you know there has never been a better motor car. PERHAPS WE DID concentrate on the engineering features to the neg- lect of mere outward ‘appearance. Perhaps. AND YET—AND YET—never has there been a more popular automo- bile—never one the demand for which always so greatly exceeded the output. NOW YOU RECEIVE both in this new Reo Light Four—a chassis that is recognized wherever motor cars are known, as the most rugged, the most dependable; the most sim-’ ple and the most accessible. INCORPORATED ALSO in this latest model are those features of design and that quality of materi- als which have resulted in an up- keep cost lower than any other car ever made ;— AND PLUS APPEARANCE —a body that in design and finish is fully in keeping with the mechan- ical excellence of the car.

10B ST. LOWS POST-DISPATCH SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1918. rs FEW CHANGES IN NEW MARMION Body Lines Greatly Resemble Those of Last Year; Rear Seat Is Made Wider. Numerous refinements mark the Among the Popular-Priced Cars NEW OLYMPIAN S STYLISH CAR Speed, Power and Comfort Re- flected m the Lines of Car Shown Here. Speed, power and comfort are re- | flected in the lines of the new Olym- | down to two miles an hour on high speed. A high degree of efficiency and ecoriomy in fuel and oil con- sumption is attained through an im- proved method of introducing the gas into the cylinder through a hot- spot manifold, a variable supply lu- brication system and overhead valves. A special frame structure elimi- nates all of the dead weight of the ordinary frame; at the some time it gives additional strength. This ad- vantage is obtained by the use of thin steel stock of extra deep section. An extension of the frame in the rear gives support to the gasoline tank /and extra tires and at the same time ‘serves as a rear traffic bumper. St. Louisans will be interested in inspecting the first truck to be pro- duced by the Traffic Motor Truck Corporation. The corporation is a new one of a half-million dollars cap- italization and has recently been financed in St. Louis. They are get- ting into production of a 4000-pound capacity general utility truck which will sell in the neighborhood of $1000.

In looks, the new model resembles closely the preceding, but in the touring car the rear seat is wider, more commodious, and the outline of the rear seat has been changed somewhat, resulting in a re- duction of the inclination of the rearmost part of the top line. The division between the front seat has been eliminated, a plain double seat being substituted. The wind shield now slopes backward at a 10-degree angle. The mounting of the latter is unusual. Instead of supports ter- minating at the cowl, they extend down to the main frame channels. Other small changes include a plain bearing fan instead of the ball-bear- ing type, magnetic tank gauge, one key for switch, gear lever and tool- box locks, tonneau light and glass window in top. Change in the engine design has permitted of dispensing with the sheet metal side plates on both sides. These plates formerly covered open- ings in the cylinder jacket and in valve rod chamber. The cylinder block is now cast without them. Mar- mon now is manufacturing the radi- ator fan itself. Mechanical Refinements. Instead of Bosch starting and lighting system heretofore used, the Rijur system will be regular equip- | ment in 1918. The starting motor is held in place by a strap fastening and is geared directly to the engine fiywheel by the new Bijur screw-shift drive. The Bosch magneto is re- tained for ignition and is driven through the Bijur generator. A fea- ture not absolutely new but intro- duced during the latter part of last season is vacuum control of the oil feed. As is well known, Marmon in force-feed lubri- eation in this country shiédens ty has adhered to it. A change has been made in the de- and oe | we be used the coming year is now provided with a felt washer soaked with oil so that it always wilil be supplied with lubricant. The change gear lever, which is of the ball-ended type, is now provided with « lock to permit locking it in the neutral position. The key for this lock also is used for locking the tool compartment in the left front door, and, in fact, only a single key now is required with the car. The tools are held in pockets on the door of the compartment, which swings down- ward and is held in a horizontal posi- tion by two chains. A new lighting switch is fitted to the instrument board. In what may be referred to as the neutral position of the switch all lamps are off, but if the key is turned down, the magneto is on and the engine can be run. As in the previous series, the gaso- line tank is carried in the cowl, but to prevent gasoline fumes getting into the driver’s compartment, a magnetic type of gasoline gauge has been adopted, which permits of complete- ly sealing the tank, except for the vent, and this is carried down under the hood to a point below the body. The speedometer trip setting is un- derneath instead of adjacent to the instrument. The top has a French piate glass window in the rear which is hung by belts.

INTER-CITY ROUTE FOR MAXWELL TRUCK. LINE Discovering that shipping by motor ! truck is not only cheaper but con- | siderably quicker than freight the produce merchants, Racklind & Farber of Chicago and Indianapolis, have inaugurated a regular motor freight line between the two cities. Racklind & Farber have big storerooms in Chicago and Indiana- polis. Their freight shipments in the past have been large ones. Speed in shipping produce is a necessity. |Slow moving freight trains have oft- en caused the commission merchants ‘a heavy financial loss. Several weeks ago the firm was unable to secure a through car for a load of goods a Chicago hotel was requiring. A truck owned by firm was loaded with 2300 pounds of perishable freight in Indianapo- lis. The run to Chicago, 186 miles, was made in 13 hours. The truck arrived at the hotel, without the double loading and un- loading required when shipment is by rail. The roads were covered vith snow and ice for the _ entire length of the trip. The truck, which was a Maxwell, made the journey well and is so extremely economical that we are going to make the inter- | via railway , each ‘of the cars and simplify its opera- | tion. the | 'Dort | bility. ‘seem to have been the goal of its en- gineers and they have succeeded ad- city freight deliveries three times a week,’ stated Racklind after a re- cent arrival in on EXHIBITS LATEST DORT.

The division between the front seat has been eliminated, a plain double seat being substituted. The wind shield now slopes backward at a 10-degree angle. The mounting of the latter is unusual. Instead of supports ter- minating at the cowl, they extend down to the main frame channels. Other small changes include a plain bearing fan instead of the ball-bear- ing type, magnetic tank gauge, one key for switch, gear lever and tool- box locks, tonneau light and glass window in top. Change in the engine design has permitted of dispensing with the sheet metal side plates on both sides. These plates formerly covered open- ings in the cylinder jacket and in valve rod chamber.

Mar- mon now is manufacturing the radi- ator fan itself. Mechanical Refinements. Instead of Bosch starting and lighting system heretofore used, the Rijur system will be regular equip- | ment in 1918. The starting motor is held in place by a strap fastening and is geared directly to the engine fiywheel by the new Bijur screw-shift drive. The Bosch magneto is re- tained for ignition and is driven through the Bijur generator. A fea- ture not absolutely new but intro- duced during the latter part of last geason is vacuum control of the oil As is well known, Marmon A change has been made in the de- of the clutch throw-out, which Among the Popular-Priced Cars’ CHEVROLET is now provided with a felt washer soaked with oil so that it always wlil be supplied with lubricant. The change gear lever, which is of the ball-ended type, is now provided with ‘« lock to permit locking it in the neutral position. The key for this lock also is used for locking the tool compartment in the left front door, and, in fact, only a single key now is required with the car. The tools are held in pockets on the door of the compartment, which swings down- ward and is held in a horizontal posi- tion by two chains. A new lighting switch is fitted to the instrument board. In what may be referred to as the neutral position of the switch all lamps are off, but if the key is turned down, the magneto is on and the engine can be run. As in the previous series, the gaso- line tank is carried in the cowl, but to prevent gasoline fumes getting into the driver’s compartment, a magnetic type of gasoline gauge has been adopted, which permits of complete- ly sealing the tank, except for the vent, and this is carried down under the hood to a point below the body. The speedometer trip setting is un- derneath instead of adjacent to the instrument. The top has a French piate glass window in the rear which ix hung by belts. Hayes wire wheels will be used the coming ‘year _in- stead of Houk wheels, the standard tires sizes being 32 by 4% on open models and 33 by 5 on closed models. INTER-CITY ROUTE FOR MAXWELL TRUCK LINE Discovering that shipping by motor . j truck is not only cheaper but con- | siderably quicker than via railway , freight the produce merchants, Racklind & Farber of Chicago and Indianapolis, have inaugurated a regular motor freight line between the two cities. Racklind & Farber have big storerooms in Chicago and Indiana- polis. Their freight shipments in the past have been large ones. Speed in shipping produce is a necessity. Slow moving freight trains have oft- en caused the conimission merchants a heavy financial loss. several weeks ago the firm was unable to secure a through car for a load of goods a Chicago hotel was requiring.

Most cars are good. Some are better than others. A few mammal possess such extraordinary superiorities as to com- mand the recognition that is due to inherent leadership. We have advertised the engineering units of the Westcott chassis as being “the best of the best’’. We have referred to the total elimination of grease cups from the lubricating system of the Westcott chassis. We have called attention to the ‘“‘self-acting’’ top that is standard equipment with all open Westcott bodies. We have featured the thermostatic control of Westcott en- gine temperature. We have been enthusiastic in our reference to the beauty, the comfort, the refinement and the endurance of West- cott cars. In support of our contentions we submit an interesting ex- hibit of Westcott Sixes at the Show. We invite you to check our claims against the cars themselves, and to pass your own verdict.

This remarkably servicea- ble chassis, together with the overhead-valve engine which delivers 44 horse- power at 2600 r. p. m., is shown at the Automobile Show with its working parts revealed. For the man who expects from his motor car a high degree of utility the Oakland Sensible Six means an immediate sav- ing, since only a car of much greater price can equal its capacity, for service. This immediate saving is paralleled by subsequent Savings in its operation, as its fuel, tire and mainte- nance costs are exceedingly low. Owners of the Oakland Sensible Six through- out the country enjoy uniformly high mileages from fuel and tire.

The Biddle is made in only one stock body—for roadster and for All other bodies are in touring car. built to the design of the owner, who is given the advantage of the Bia- dles’ art and engineering staff to per- |fect the appearance of the car he ‘wishes to own. | With the comparative perfection ‘of the motor, automobile manufac- | turers began to turn their attention toward highest perfection of the body. Not so many years ago the car was a matter of secondary con- sideration. The motor was the thing. That was in the days of the develop- ment from the four to the six, then to the eight, and in the last three years to the twelve. But perfection of type having been reached in motor, the manufacturers have turned their genius upon the super- structure of the car. Two years ago the custom-built body began “coming into its own,” and last year it arrived. This year it has been given greater impetus through the efforts of the Biddle factory, whose engineers predict tha: 1918 is to be the greatest year of all for the custom-built body. The three Biddles that will be shown at the auto show will repre- sent the personal application of the mind of a master builder who knows that he was called upon to build three cars that must mirror in a way the personality and social status of men for whom they were obviously intended. The cars have been con- structed much as a painter would complete a portrait. Every person has the same number of eyes, ears and a nose, mouth and _ forehead, but no two sitters’ features are alike. So the comparison between the stock car and the custom-built car. The Biddle has in all models a 121- inch wheel base, a Duesenberg en- gine, Gray & Davis starting and lighting systems, and its ignition is by an Eisemann magneto. - APPERSON ANNIVERSARY EIGHT IS EXHIBITED The J. W. Leigh Motors Co. will have on exhibit one of the most dis- tinctive of American-buif cars. They term it the Apperson Anniversary Model, inasmucsh as it typifies the consummation of their 25 years of automobile building. | The features of this automobile are myriad, its lines are virtually perfection and the most captious critic will find it ‘difficult to locate a single point in which finer quality, either in material or treatment, can be found in any other car, regard- less of price. The most distinguishing feature of the Apperson, and the one by which it will come to be known by the man on the street, is its radiator, a speciak patented design, spherical in shape and of the honeycomb type. This radiator, while merging gracefully into the lines of the car, possesses real utility, in that it pre- sents a greater cooling surface than could be obtained with the regulation flat type. From the radiator back its lines are straight, giving the car an extremely low center of gravity, which insures easy holding of the road at extreme speed. Space does not permit an enu- meration of all the means by which the Apperson has been made an artistic as well as a utilitarian tri- umph, combining on a chassis of un- usual merit, all the worth-while features of those makes of cars réc- ognized as the standards of America and Europe. The Apperson has an instrument “board” of polished aluminum, with instruments of most expensive qual- ity; a special French top with nick- eled irons and plate-glass windows; jointless windshields, a new-and pat- entéd type of upholstery, levers which can be reached without bend- ing forward in the seat, special ac- celerator, cast aluminum toe boards, cowl ventilator with plate-glass cover, patented bullet head and tail lamps, special steering wheel, nickeled tools, which are carried in the left front door, and robe rails so designed that the screws do not show. silent FOREIGN COUNTRIES USE MANY HUDSON CARS Since European motor car manu- facturers have been unable to turn out automobiles during the war, the, demand in the rich and fashionable | centers of South America, Australia, India and parts of Europe has been filed by a few American and reputation earned abroad, has taken its place as a leader in these sections, where before such cars as the Rolls-Royce and the Sunbeam of England, the Pengeot of France, and the Fiat of Italy, were favorites. Hudson, to meet that trade, had to furnish designs in keeping with those of Buropean production. It explains the origin of many of the practically exclusive Hudson models, that have attracted such attention at the au- tomobile show this week. Hudson is now represented in prac- tically every country where motor cars are sold, and it is a favorite re- mark of the Hudson Export Depart- ment that “The Sun Never Sets on a Hudson.” TE a EE TS ae OP the | | | | | | quantity. ~ ———— + makers. | Hudson, because of its long standing | POPULARITY OF CLOSED CARS DUE, TO UTILITY The ultimate triumph of practical sense over habit and custom is as certain in the automobile fleld as anywhere else, especially if common sense be encouraged by good adver- tising. This is the explanation of the | astonishing increase in the sales of convertible inclosed cars this win- ter. “Our sales of inclosed cars in- creased threefold this season,’ says J. D. Perry Lewis of the Lewis Auto- mobile Co., St. Louis distributers of the Chandler six. | “There is one primary reason for the increased popularity of Chandler inclosed cars, their complete utility. The convertible car is the logical and the practical car to buy if the owner wants maximum service with com- fort. “Of course, the refinement of the convertible body has had a great deal to do with it. How great that refinement has been in the last two or three years is immediately appar- ent when you look at the latest Chandler convertible cars. They are as handsome and as substantial as any closed car. “The Chandler enjoys a great ad- vantage in its five-year standard chassis. It enables the body build- ers to fit fine bodies to the chassis with every assurance that they would remain fine bodies. I mean by that that the Chandler chassis is a known No weaknesses can devel- op in it. The solid aluminum motor base eliminates distortion and helps to strengthen the frame and at the same time reduces engine vibration, one of the principal sources of body trouble. “A good inclosed car must start out with a good chassis. After that it needs not only substantial body building but something of an artistic conscience in the body builder so that there will be grace and beauty in the car as well as convenience and protection against weather. In Chan- dler closed cars we have all three and people have appreciated the fact.’’ mens Hup Motors Furnish Power. Coal right now is more precious than gasoline, is the belief of the American Gear Co. of Jackson, Mich., +one of the plants of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation. Therefore for the past month the gear company has been using coal almost entirely for heating unly. Power to run the plant has been produced by Hupmobile mo- tors. ‘—with airplane-type motor National cars are built to last several seasons, and to serve at full efficiency without waste. As a consequence they are more economical both in operation and maintenance than a cheaper car possibly could be.

FRANKLIN HAS SPLENDID RECORD FOR ECONOMY If anyone were to place his finger upon that element in motor car buy- ing which has developed most no- ticeably within the year, it would be the demand for facts and records of performance on which prospective owners may base their judgment. Without question, the “eye ap- peal” will continue to be an influ- ence as long as automobiles are sold, but the desire to know miore about one’s motoring, the necessity in these times to get the utmost efficiency from automobiles, t inducing the most careful compilation of gasoline, tire and oil consumption data, and items like repair expense and depre- ciation. While this tendency is a product of war “conditions, yet in the earlier days of the industry, efficiency and economy tests, under the sanction of the A. A. A. and A. C. A., were very popular. A look back over these events reveals the Franklin as a con- sistent winner, as in the Two-Gallon Efficiency Test of 1906, the Long Island Economy Contest of 1908, the One-Gallon Efficiency Test of 1909, and the Buffalo Economy Test of 1909. In 1913 the Franklin car test- ed by the Automobile Club of Amer- ica established the world’s record for gasoline mileage. Since the discontinuance of com- petitive efficiency tests, Franklin data from vp to year has been estab- lished nation-wide demonstra- tions. This year the Franklin effi- ciency standard was set by 179 stock cars registering, under standard effi- ciency test\rules, 40.3 miles to a single gallon of. gasoline. -———_—o a Keeps Out Prafts. Around the door openings of new Cadillac inclosed cars runs ‘a roll of live rubber, covered with upholstery, which fits snugly against the door when it is closed. The bottom edge of each door is fitted with a rubber strip, which contacts with a special! bead on the aluminum sill plate. Thus another favorite entrance of drafts is effectively closed. OAKLAND SOLVES THE “The passenger car is destined to play as important a part in the so- lution of present acute transportation problems as the motor truck,” said E. A. Hatfield, distributor of Oak- land “Sensible Sixes’’ in St. Louis. “For it represents the only prac- tical means of travel for thousands of persons, living in sections where passenger traffic on the railroads has been curtailed. _ “Such reductions as railroads have made in the number of passenger trains formerly operated on both their main and branch lines necessi- tate the substitution of other means of travel and the automobile has come to the rescue of men affected by this wholesale curtailment. In fact, as long as the exigencies of war demand the conservation of railroad passenger traffit~the long-distance commuters either will have to suf- fer annoyance and wasted hours or rely on the automobile for efficient transport. “This curtailment of traffic on the railroad means a boom for automobile sales this year and presages a tremendous demand for the four different convertible sum- mer-winter models in the Oakland line for 1918—the unit body sedan, unit body coupe, roadster coupe and touring sedan—as their all-year- round utility and dependability are unchallenged and the operating cost is exceptionally low because of light- weight construction.” passenger Peerless Double Range. The Peerless eight-cylinder will be continued for another season without great change. This company is still a believer in thin-spring leaves and plenty of them and has found noth- ing superior to the platform type suspension in the rear. Of special advantage in the high- speed engine used in the model 56 is the double-range carburetor, utiliz- ing the small throat and nozzle for the moderate driving and a large throat for fast driving. This gives ‘and power on the other. 2" > Tt : md *% ia | 2. Se 4 is. SECST +: Ett ee as yee ft — Gade ay pet e > o . e.. wie 3 ce ee: 5 TY .

And it has succeeded, year after year, in this aim. The Chandler leads all Sixes—indeed all medium-priced high-grade cars—because it offers so much more for so much less. Choose the Chandler because of its wonderful motor, now in its fifth year — constantly refined, never radically changed, and now approximating perfection in ‘power, flexibility and endurance. : Choose the Chandler, too, because of the extraordinary excellence which dis- tinguishes the whole Chandler chassis. Choose it for the beauty and comfort of its bodies; for the economy of its operation. And meanwhile, remember that the Chandler positively offers you value not found in other cars priced at hundreds of dollars more.

It marked the beginning of the fourth consecutive year of pro- duction of almost identically the same chassis, with the possible ex- ception of minor refinements, when it became certain that those refine- ments were practicable. In 1915, at the Grand Central Pal- ace Show, the present Cole eight chassis was exhibited for the first time. Today, three years later, the same chassis, from a basic stand- point, is attracting as great atten- tion as it received when first an- nounced. After three years having heen devoted exclusively to its con- struction by the Cole Motor Car Co., it easily represefits at the beginning of 1918 one of the most thoroughly developed V-typé multiple cylinder units in the wofld market today. Throughou its production, the Cole eight chassis has been distinc- been designed especially for the re- quirements of a V-type eight-cyl- inder motor. The chassis is bridge-like in de- sign, with reinforced trunions that are so placed as to cause the weight or stress applied to any portion of the chassis to be absorbed by the en- tire area of the frame. In addition to this most important advantage, a special sheet-steel rear cross member. has now been added which not only reinforces-the sup- porting surface of the frame, but gives a strong and durable section to which is fastened the improved new tire carrier and gasoline tank. KISSEL DEALERS BANQUET The various dealers in this terri- tory handling Kissel Kars and trucks have been invited to a Washington's Birthday banquet to be given by the arry Newman Corporation at the American Annex Hotel on Friday, Feb. 22. M. R. Williams, recently appointed sales manager of the Kis- sel Motor Car Co. of Hartford, Wis., |will be the guest of honor, and will els being shown this week at the Chicago automobile show. Enough }useless material was trimmed from the car to reduce the weight 15 per cent, according to the builders, The largest item of saving in this re- spect was in the frame. Instead of solid steel construction, the designer substituted a frame of thin steel from three to 12 inches deep, mak- ing it lighter and materially stronger. > The frame: follows the shape of the body, so that the body can be bolted directly to the frame without the use of intervening sills. - A Test fer Carbaretion.

It was first forypally introgfuced to the motoring public at the New York and Chicago shows. For a model.so young, however. the National sedan has had a most interesting career to date. Two hun- dred of these convertible closed _fars, usvally associated with gowns by Worth and arias by Caruso and rarely with khaki uniforms and the thunder of big guns, already have been sent to France where they are in active service with the American expeditionary forces, transporting the subordinates of Gen. Pershinz from staff headquarters and military depots to the battle line. Nor has the military accomplish- ments of the National sedan been confined to the rough _— shell-torn highways of France. Several ship- ments have been made to the army cantonments of this country, where the cars are used by officers charged with the responsibility of training our national army. The splendid record cars have made in army § service stamps the National sedan as one of the most practical and utilitarian of automobiles, possessing cardinal points of merit that make it an all- season, all-task model, as efficient that these body, the rear glass is removed and | stored behind the tonneau seat and pockets under the rear seat. Divided front seats provide a pas- compartments, the doors are stag- gard and the car is upholstered in | whipecord. The tonneau equipment includes a vanity case, match carrier, | cigar holder and ash receptacle.

A loafing range for ordinary driv -| ing and a sporting range for brute! power and speed—these are the two. elements that have made the Peer- less motor so much talked about, ac- cording to Sam Ss! Primm of the Park | / Auto Co., local Peerless agents. They express pointedly the unusual flexi- bility, great stamina and excessive power of the car. Incidentally, the wide range of activities of this mo- tor are conducive to economy, it is shown. Great Practical Advantages. ‘The engineering practice utilized ir the Peerless two-power-range de- sign is fascinating to one who stops tc ane the technical principles in- volved,” said Mr. Primm recently. Yantages of the high-speed multiple cvlinder motor are realized on the road only when the entire car mech- even motor pull is available at all | speeds. The Model 56 chassis and _ the Model 56 eight-cylinder Peerless mo- ‘tor are designed and balanced to bring about this much desired condi- tion. With this as a starting point, propef fuel supply is furnished to ithe motor by a two-stage carburetor, | having one set of jets for car speeds up to approximately 45 miles an hour, and another set that is opened, 4 ' ee . - - a F ihe a 2 ee ¥ © . » Ms » » 4 . ‘ - : ‘ * me pm * wk +e . . 6 Sige Ate Aina Ape el eA A AIO ip es mage hes i aan RR «neg tc . ‘ e ° > - we 0 ae, Sy elite teenie ceeeattiliinatiied atienen tiene eee ee eae “ - ‘ - ; { Ee EOE RET cir “ . - ae " . i . ’ e iz _« * ‘ ~~ ~ : i Sw ae : 7 oa - “ » - y * - , b _ 7 ‘ * re " ~ . 1 * 4 Me howe = ae : ‘ ; ’ * lk i 4 OP SO ME Roel ee a _ - r J 4 . q @ . 5 - 4 uy Rita)” ol me Ao ae ak « . oe ‘ i : ~ 4 “ : + ; n - “pattie ES ye | aa eo y, ma, ‘ ‘ - f 7 } 4 x : y ‘ ‘w i P A 7 Yi less i ie . ~ he Foal . “ . f ‘ F — - . ‘ja ‘ ‘ 7 p : Ry) “ > pe ‘ R i : Pet * ‘ qe e ; " > : * * . - Hm sinh, de WX “ « ‘ 4 whe " F we ws ier itin rade i - ”" - 4 - a r = ’ - . ‘ . 4 , i 2 % uit c » Bad > ‘ + “a ad wh #5 : oly y o sis bs 4 R / ; f ee +S .

Nota bolt or screw had been touched. The car ran like oil. I hurried back to America and imme- diately requested the Willys-Overland engi- neers to build five Knight motored cars. They were told to take as much time as required to perfect manufacturing methods and to de- termine at what cost this motor could be built in large quantities. And this very refinement has made appar- ent the unusual fitness of the Knight motor for enclosed cars, with the result that the Willys- Knight line includes a remarkable selection of open and enclosed cars distinctive in appear- ance and merit.

The reports of the Old Trails route were so interesting that clubs used .them freely in newspapers and in | club organs, believing that in so do- | ing they aided all tourists.. Scout | Master Marsh made his reports in- teresting and fully descriptive of the | roads and of the scenery encountered | and of the interesting features of a. 'road passed over. So it came about | that his road reports, embodying | dangers to cars, enabling tourists to | avoid like pitfalls, became classics. | So thoroughly did the Scout Master | do his work that other road asso- , oiations filed requests with C. S. Rie- | man, vice president and general man- ager of the Elgin Motor Car Corpora- tion, to allow the scout car to travel | their routes. This was found impos- sible during 1917, but may be pos- sible for 1918, although the Scout | Master will be another man as Marsh ‘is an officer of the ordmance corps and is training at- the camp in Ev- ‘anston, Ill. He tried for other | branches of the service but was ‘turned back on account of eyesight, 'although his eyes were good enough for quick camera work, through | ‘which he illustrated the remarkable trip of the Elgin Six. ‘REPUBLIC SALES. GROW: | Orders for more than 75 trucks | were booked by the Republic Motor | Truck Co. of Missouri during Janu- ary, it was stated yesterday by Wil- liam J. Geisler, sales manager for the company. This exceeded by 50 per cent for the period the company’s quota, which is 600 trucks for the entire year. “This volume of business during an excessively cold spell is highly re- | 'assuring,’’ Geisler said. “We believe | it to have been due primarily to the | economical maintenance and low cost § of operation of the internal gear | drive of the Republic truck, and to. the Missouri company’s policy of ren- | dering service aid whenever and | wherever necesary, every user of our | truck being treated with the utmost consideration and courtesy. “During the. past three years, or since the company began its business career here, our sales have been 466 units, a. record which, we believe, can be matched by no other com- pany. “President F. C. Meyer attended the automobile show at Chicago, and | | while there looked into the possibil- ities of having trucks drive overland | | to St. Louis, owing to inability of the | ‘railways to get trucks here sufficient | ‘to fill our needs. This overland sys- | |tcm will enable us to make prompt | deliveries, which is a vital consider- , ation with users of trucks.” MARMON CLOSED CARS H. H. Rice, sales manager of the | Nordyke & Marmon Co. of Indian-| apolis, calls attention to a new trend ir the closed-car field; the increasing | tendency of Marmon 34 owners to. buy closed car bodies for mounting | on their 34 chassis. ‘‘This tendency,” | says Mr. Rice, “while a part of the! increasing popularity of the closed car for general purpose motoring, is ,especially marked among Mar- mon 34 owners, because of the staba-_ lized 34 design which for three sea- sons has had no radical change. “For the last two years we have | devoted a great deal of attention to closed cars. We furnish as a part, of our regular line four standard | closed cars—limousine, sedan, lan daulet and town car, In the limou-) sine there is room for.five passen- | 'gers in the enclosed compartment. | The auxiliary seats fold forward and out of the way when not in use.

On display this week at the St. Louis Automobile Show, old Southern Hotel. The other Dorris Models — Seven-Passenger Touring Car, Four-Passenger Tourist, Seven- Passenger Limousine — exhibit the acme of mechanical perfection and the super-elegance of De: Luxe body building. First Exhibit--Left Hand Side Main Entrance Dorris Motor Car Co. Laclede and Sarah_ :: :: §t. Louis “Built up lo a Standard, Manufacturers ¢ j nr « ~ Ada Hl line Not down to a Price” Pt “ACLISED HODELS § Touring Limousine Has Several Features Not Before Seen in Any Car. Hudson’s new models are always waited with more or less expectancy at the automobile shows. For sev- eral years the Hudson has had the reputation of setting the mode. Some- thing new could always be looked | for from the home of the super-six. This year the reputation has ap- parently been maintained; and while no radical changes have been made, there are several new attractive body types totally different from any pre- viously built by this maker of auto- mobiles. There are changes, too, and added refinements in every model. There are now 10 models in the Hudson line—two open, the balance of the inclosed type. Of the latter the runabout landau, the touring lim- ousine and the full folding landau are additions to the line. Of these three the touring lim- ousine perhaps stands out as the unique body type of the show. It is both a limousine and a sedan, pos- sessing all the advantages and con- veniences of either type. It has & seating capacity for four. When the glass partition between the front and rear compartments is lowered, it pos- 'sesses all the intimacy of a family car. When this is raised, however, . it becomes a chauffeur-driven coach, a motor dictograph furnishing*means ef communication with the driver. There are touches here and there that Suggest the craftsmanship of the more expensive foreign-built coaches. The lines are almost se- vere in their squareness, but none | the less attractive. The runabout landau is a two- | passenger car that can be instantly | transformed from a snug cabriolet ‘into an open roadster. The full-fold- ing landau is strictly a town car type, a suggestion of Fifth avenue on the famous super-six chassis. The new Hudson limousine, the town car and the landaulets also have a squareness to the coach lines that addes greatly to their appear- ance. The rear fenders are longer. The interiors are furnished in quiet colors, with richness and dignity em- phasized. This year the open bodies—the seven-passenger and the four-pas- senger phaetons—nhave been changed slightly. The body limes have been lowered, and there are a number of other marked refinements in these Hudson models. Ce ee ee eo ee eto s + 6 EU ue eH ew) r .

HT il a H Mitt hi ch fi The Supreme National Need is More— More—_ More Transportation for Man and Merchandise — War conditions have strained the railroads of the country to the cracking point—have forced them into the hands of Federalized and centralized control. For the time ‘at least, there are no longer large numbers of separate railroad corporations and lines, operated competitively, but one co-ordinated National railroad system working toward one end ao the highest transportation efficiency through co-opera- tive effort. The Automobile, with Magnificent Efficiency, has — Solved Part of the Nation’s Collossal Transporta- _ tion Problem—the Short Haul By its readiness and efficiency, the automobile has established itself as second only to the railroad for long hauls, and as first for short hauls. Man and ‘iniadilsinillis may now move over short distances speedily and promptly without adding to the burden of the railroads. This national crisis in transportation has linked the automobile— both passenger and commercial—inseparably with the railroad, i in national importance. Automobile Tires, in Meeting the Crisis, have Proved as Dependable as Railroad Tracks That is one reason why the automobile has been enabled to meet the transportation crisis so completely. Once there was a tire problem—now there is not—any more than there is a railroad track problem. For some steel mills make better steel rails than others—and they are the mills that get the business. And, likewise—some tire companies make better tires than ‘others—and they also get the business. o United States Tires have Proved their Supreme Dependability in the Crisis—and their Sales have Bounded Forward in Gigantic Strides United States Tires—for both passenger and commercial auto- mobiles—have Proved their supremacy, —supremacy in long mileage and low mileage cost, —supremacy in day-in-and-day-out readiness for hard or unusual service. So clear is the supremacy of United States Tires that their sales have become gigantic, and their sales increases still more gigantic. United States Tires show a Greater Increase in* Sales than the Increase in the Use of Antomobiied in 1917 over 1916 In other words tire users—for bss passenger and commercial cars— have shown clear preference for United States Tires. (No one buys and continues to buy the same make of any sort of goods unless those goods prove absolutely satisfactory.) United States Tires have helped the automobile make good in this national transportation crisis—have demonstrated their suprem- acy in service and low mileage cost. ) Put United States Tires on your Automobile— | Commercial or Passenger—Make Com There are five types of United States Tires for passenger cars— ‘Royal Cord’, ‘Nobby’, ‘Chain’, ‘Usco’, and ‘Plain’; —a tire for every need of price and use. There are two types of United States Tires for commercial cars— ‘Solid’ Truck (both demountable or pressed-on) and the ‘Nobby’ Cord Pneumatic. Also tires for motorcycles, bicycles, aeroplanes.

Not only has a more powerfui motor been substituted for the one which already had won high praise, but the body lines have been made still more graceful and attractive. The new series Owen-Magnetic, with its valve-in-head motor, its 142-inch wheel base and its new bodies of beautiful and artistic de- sign, is certain to make a strong ap- peal to the man seeking a high- grade car. This is the fifth season for the Owen-Magnetic. Each year the mi&kers have placed on view a car that has commanded the atten- tion of the most critical buyers, and its growth in popularity is evidenced by the increasing numbers to be seen on the. streets. The newest models are masterpieces of engineer- ing skill and the coach builder’s art combined. | The magnetic transmission is now so well understood that prospective buyers rarely ask to have it ex- plained. It is accepted as a standard product of reliability and as thor- oughly dependable in operation. "96 0 . *. ae BITTALAAASGR ELLIE our own seven years’ tests besides.

In past seasons the crowds at the Lours Auto Shew have centered tive coach creations, racy upholster- ing and all the luxuries of the auto-'! This year it is the conservative mobile designer. car of. economy and ability that occuples the pre-eminent position. Falling in step with the great war on waste and luxury, the Chalmers Motor Car Co. is already enjoying unlimited success through the eco- nomical features of the much-dis- cussed Hot-spot. It is this feature of adaptability to all phases of cold-weather motor- ing that is the outstanding attrac- tion at the Chalmers 1918 booth. Although the Hot-spot has been do- ing commendable work in all parts of the country for the past three months, it is still somewhat of a mystery to a great proportion of the public. It will be an education to these to visit the Chalmers booth. 2 : Some people expect a bulky ar- rangement that might be hooked on to any motor car on the market, others less mechanically inclined, think the Hot-spot a queer evolution of the time-honored fairy wand. notions of a distorted radical change in the engine or the ear. Unlike many innovations intro- duced at show time, this great Chal- mers feature of. gasoline saving and cold weather starting bears the mark of success already accomplished in all sections of the country. In addition to thousands of private owners, it has also figured conspic- uously in several events of national importance. The first pubNc appear- ance was at Sheepshead Bay when Joe Dawson shattered all publie rec- ords for the 24-hour motor non-stop endurance run. The Chalmers com- pany having suspended all. speed events for the duration of the war, the latest public achievement of the hot-spot was in a remarkable test held at Chicago last month, A stock Chalmers car was left standing for 15 hours throughout the night in front of the Harry Newman- Stratton Co., at the height of one of the werst storms experienced in many years. The average tempera- ture for the 15 hours, checked every hour, was 18 degrees above zero. and on the fqllowing morning in the presence a newspaper men, the first explosion was registered in four sec- onds, and a perfect start in 17 Sec- onds. The Hot-spot not only assures ‘ ‘ ! a quick start but by means of crack- ing up the particles:of gas and dis- tributing it with perfect _evenness past the easy-air-bends, the Chal- mers of today obtains mere power on low-grade gasoline than was for- merly the case when better fuel was, sold. Outside of the Hot-spot, there is very little difference in the Chalmers. The engine and the car throughout are to all appearances without change. The same stylish and last- ioag finish characterizes the more popular models while the limousine, town car. and town car landaulet are | pronounced the finest specimens of high-grade closed vehicles on the American market. ‘The two landau- let chauffeur-driven cars are the only addition to the Chalmers line now making a distinguished series of 10 models of widely varying taste and useage. ° TO SHOW MAXWELL TRUCKS ON BROADWAY For the benefit of the business men of St. Louis and the visitors from out of the city attending the Automobile Show, who are interest- ed in commercial: cars, Implement and Auto Co., St. Louis distributers for the Maxwell, has ar- ranged for a display of the one-ton Maxwell truck near the Auto Show at 16% South Broadway. A more complete display will be shown at the sales room at Nineteenth and Locust. ' The Weber company recently made , the Weber |! a thorough canvass of their truck owners to. learn just the work the trucks were doing and how they per- formed. This information has now been arranged in detail form, giving future owners a concrete idea of just what the truck will do. onientitiagstieibiinmnitaiaiiins NINE VELIE BODY STYLES Theyprevailing idea seems to be that the automobile builder has about reached the limit of his gen- ius, and as @ consequence new cars represent but little more than a change in body lines here and there, with little or no actual increase’ in merit. Such is far from the truth, how- ever.* One may uncover in the an- nouncement of new models many details which show in themselves results of much thought along lines of economy in operation, comfort, convenience and safety. The Velie company recently an- nounced nine body styles, all mount- ed on. the well-known Velie “Bilt- well’ Six chassis, each. perfectly ap- peinted and finished as might be ex- pected. The Velie booth at the show will be the mecca for motor car connois seurs. The mechanical design not only making a strong appeal, bi® the body developments were .a startling revelation. Among the models. ex- hibited will be the new Velie sport model, the talk of the shows, which carries with it a distinct European atmosphere. aati ee a ee gD ca ang gn gag gs Cees OO gy _ The Harroun — Is on the _ Some Very Desirable Territory Is Still - PHILLIPS MOTOR 00.

Boylan, a | Globe-Demecrat reporter, in visit- | ing saloons together when Boylan | was a member of the jury which | awarded Scherer and _ associates $248,500 damages for the building | of a switch across a corner of the. tract, is alleged in a motion for a | new trial filed yesterday in the Belle- | ville Circuit Court. The allegation of the association | ef Scherer and Boylan is supported by affidaviis of Pinkerton detectives | who shadowed them the night before the verdict was returned. Other af- | fidavits are that Boylan, while in- | texicated, flourished a $100 bill after | leaving Scherer. Verdict Calléd Excessive. The verdict, which is declared in the motion to be excessive, was given in a condemnation suit brought by the Valley Terminal Railroad Co, J. Ste- )ger, MH. J. Eggman, Charles P. Wise’ ' and Scherer, owners of the tract, the Iilinois State Trust Co., trustee for \the owners, and Prosper J. Soucy, ¥ ho holds a mortgage against Scher- er's interest. In order to effect a connection between -the ‘Terminal Railway and the Cotton Belt Rail- way it was necessary to use three- | tenths of an acre of the Ofthwein | tract of 488 acres. The Terminal | company offered $1000 for the acre. The owners demanded damages of $1000 an acre for the entire tract. At the first trial of the case 11 of the jurors wanted to give damages ranging from $8000 to $12,000. The twelfth held out for $100,000. While | they wrangled one of the jurors be- | came sick and a mistrial resulted. At the second trial the jury, after | being out less than two hours. gave | a verdict for $500 an acre Gamages, | or $243,500. Affidavits of John O. Camden and | C. F. Bacon, Pinkerton detectives, | set forth that on the evening of Feb. | 7, the day before-the verdict was re- | turned, they shadowed Scherer to a. saloog on Locust street, St. Louis, where he was joined by Boylan. They drank together there and at another saloon, the affidavits state and then walked together to Third street a Washington avenue, con- versing in undertones, and after again drinking together in a saloon there they separated and Boylan went to his office in the Arcade | Building, East St. Louis. Affidavit of Reporter. The affidavit of Roy: Albertson, a reporter, of 1117 Pennsylvania a enue, East St. Louis, is as follows: | “On Thursday night of Feb. 7,4 1918, at about the hour of 9:45) o’clock, I was in the Arcade building | ‘in the eity of East St. Louis and |! noticed the said Boylan talking to | two ladies——telegraph operators— | who have an office on the ground floor of the building. He was intoxi- cated and seemed to be talking fool- ishly, and I suggested to Albert Offer and James B. Clendenin who were there, that they get him away from the young ladies, and I heard one of the girls make a like request of Mr. Clendenin. We induced Boylan to! leave that place and go over to the city hall, teliing him that there was &@ meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners. “We went over to the city hall and while in the corridor, on the first: floor, Willian: Traubel, Chief Deputy Sheriff, came along, and R.

Traubel madé reply that | he did not have money enough to go around, whereupon Boylan said: “We did not expect you to pay for it’ and pulled from his vest pocket & crisp $100 bill and reaching over, shoved the same into Traubel's vest. ‘Traubel handed the bill back to Boy- lan.

The total loss during this period was placed at more than $1,000,000,000. A table prepared by W. P. Manse, indsutrial agent of the Balti- more & Ohio Railway, was also given, which valued the fuel saved under the order in 18 of the larger cities of the country at $137,377,589. The loss in wages and manufactured products in these cities was put at $4,344,070,000. The figures in part follow: It is pointed out that these figures, prepared by Manse for Director- General McAdoo, are considerably higher than thése prepared by the Black Diamond experts, and the publication gives them because they are considered official, while criticizing their accuracy. , ‘The average mine price on coal today is $2.45 per ton. If it is considered that the coal was bought at that price at the mines, Mr. Manse’s figures would have meant 56,072,485 tons saving, or something like 17 times the amount we estimate. | ‘‘As a matter of fact, the consumption of steam coal for eight days, if the plants had been running full and if they consumed 720,000 tons a day, would have been only 5,760,000 tons. of saving is about 10 times the normal consumption of coal in the eight- CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—(By A.

The patrol was seeking a subma- rine which it is believed sent a wire- less appeal for help from Zeebruegge whenwit was attacked.! According to O@m@geport, the patrol had in the last.few weeks destroyed four sub- marines and had virtually closed this vital waterway to U-boats. It was in an effort to break this barrage that the destroyers came out. They suc- ceeded in sinking a few small patrol . boats and got away before thé Brit- ish warships could overtake them. In the bombardment of Dover by a submarine this morning, one child was killed and three men, one wom- an and three children were injured. Thirty shells were dropped on the town, but. the casualties. were all caused by one shot. The shore batteries drove the en- emy craft off after some property damage had been done. Cases have not been infrequent of German submarines bobbing up off the British coast and shelling shore points. Yarmouth was bombarded Jan. 14.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH” MOONEY ASSAILS STONE FOR RAISING POLITICAL ISSUE St. Louis County Democratic Chairman Replies to Sena- tor’s Recent Speech. EXCUSES ARE. RIDICULED Situation Declared to Have Called for Straight Support of the President. John E. Meoney, chairman of the St. Louis County Democratic Com- mittee, yesterday replied to Senator Stone’s letser of Feb. 6, in which the Senator defended his action in mak- ing a speech in the Senate in Jan- uary charging Republican leaders in and out of Congress with plotting to make a political fight upon Presi- dent Wilson and Democrats in Con- gress, with the conduct of the war as an issue. The controversy, thus extended, be- gan when the St. Louis County Democratic Committee, called _ in special session by Mooney on Jan. 26, adopted resolutions condemning Senator Stone’s speech as a political effort and approving the attitude of the Republican press and leaders who have cast politics aside as far as the war is concerned. In his letter to Mooney, Senator Stone referred to “what in your sim- plicity you may have been beguiled into believing,’’ and suggested that the county chairman was Samaritan.’’ Mooney, paragraphs of his letter, disposes of these poinis, and with caustic com- | ment cites some of the Senator's own record with reference to ad-. ministration war measures. Text o& Mooncy’s Reply. . “It Is a significant fact,” Mooney writes, “that your unfortunate speech, which in my simplicity I deem it to be, was the first political speech de- livered in the United States Senate | since the beginning of the war be- tween this country and Germany.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (By P.).—Amendment of the draft law so as to exempt citizens or subjects | /of neutral countries who have de- to becom? | their intention American citizens is proposed in a Lili prepared by the War Department in conjunction with the State De- partment and introduced today by Chairman Dent of the House Mili- vised Dent that the State “being | worked by some hovering political ; in the a | } and witheut reference to the crim- | inations and recriminations of inde- | fatigable demageuyrves, there had not | yet been witnesee«di in the halls of | ' Congress the mortifying spectacle of | learned statesmen en- \gaged in political brawls and parti- | san bickerines when their whole at- | tention and the complete measure of | their talents energies and thoughts | should be devoted to the solution of the great patriotic problems incident to the prosecution of the war. “In my simplicity, I had gained the impression that Republican Sen- ators had evidenced their sentiments steadfastly to the purpose and poli- cies of the administration, and in my simplicity, I had the impression that the gifted stateman »who dischargec | the chief exccutive functions of this | Government and whose name shall | be hereafter immortal could rely with greater faith upon certain Republi- cans for support that upon certain Democrats; and perhaps, my dear when your .own activities in the United States Senate have been re- lated to him he has been compelled in the agony of his wounded spirit to exclaim: “Et tu Brute.” Sarcastic Reference to Senator. “My reference to che patriotism of certain Repubucar Senators, and my reference iv the fic that up to the time of your 11) aavised utterances, as I. in my simplicity, so ceusidJer them, there had been no speethes of a po- litical nature in Congress since our country entered the war, is for the mere purpose of iliustrating the fac: that your sudden and violent espou- ral of the Pgesident’s cause must have had some peculiar significance. “In my simplicity I believed, ana yet belleve, that no occasion exisiea justifying the introduction of this controversy; no resolution was pend- ing before Congress condemning the management of the war; no!measure was to be voted upon tending to re- flect diserudit upon the administra- tion.

If Democrats in this and the condemnation of President's traducers be not par- n nor for political purposes, why p Demonrate and me ‘if the President were would really prefer to have you talk tary Committee. Secretary Lansing, in a letter, ad- and War Departments are strongly of opinion that, from the standpoint of international relations, it is highty undesirable that he existing law should stand unmodified, as ‘‘evidence of a disregard of treaty obligations, or even a supposed rule of interna- tiorial conduct hertofore observed by other Governments.’”’ Lansing estimated that ‘‘counting out citizens or subjects of treaty countries, who it is. assumed should be exempted, the proposed amend- ment wouid exclude about 30,009 men, of whom not more than 50 per. cent and probably not less than 30 per cent would be found eligible for military service."’ Of the 30,000, he estimated that one-half are citizens of Mexico and about 40 per cent are subjects of scandinavian countries. Protests by Neutral Nations. Secretary Lansing’s letter revealed that many neutral countries already have made insistent protests against conscription of their nationals, caus- ing embarrassment to the Govern- | of intention does ican citizenship upon the declarant, ment: that the President has found it expedient foninternational reasons | to dischcarge from the army neutral nationals under certain circum-_| stances, and that the present law has been used abroad as a medium of ir- ritation by enemy propagandists. Secretary Lansing said the loss of man power seemed to him ‘“inconse- quential in view of the other consid- | erations at stake in our foreign re- | lations.”’ “All aliens (except enemy aliens) | who had declared their intention to | become American citizens were, by | the selective service act, made liable | to military service in the same man-_| ner as citizens of the United States,” said the Secretary's Ietter. “The Sweden, A. | act contained no provision covering the treaty stipulations by which this Government had become obligated |to exempt.the nationals of Argen- tina, Costa Rica, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Paraguay, Serbie, Spain and Switzerland from military service in the United States. It made the dec- laration of intention the determining factor of such Hability, although this Government is a party to several treaties which specifically stipulate ithat the declaration of intention shall the | not of itself affect the nationality of the declarant. And it is the rule of law in the United States, support- ed by Supreme Court of the United States decisions, that a declaration not confer Amer- or reléase him from his prior alle- giance. Apparently there never has been any intention of the Govern- ment to regard such persons gen- erally otherwise than aliens.

Fischer, said to be an important agent of the Government in country, in Germany. Fischer, Sshutte and valve manufacturers here, interned in the tederal prison camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, as a dangerous enemy alien. Secret service agents made. this known today when they referred to mail sent by represetatives of Fischer abroad. The mail was first addressed to a representative of the Swiss Government in Philadelphia and German head of the firm of Koerting Company, now is ‘under the seal of the Swiss Govern- ment. Other mail sent from here to Ger- 'man agents was mailed under the | seal of the Colombian Government. 'Teuton propagandists here believed ‘United States opened them all, learned the contents and permitted the letters to proceed on their way.

A postcard signed by Mrs. Fischer was taken before it could be mailed, addressed to Miss Hedwig Schaad, Zurich, Switzerland, saying ‘‘Bertram interned.” Other letters were found signed ‘‘Hedwig”’ and coming from Switzerland. Many other letters in 'German are being translated under ithe direction of Frank Garbarino, ‘agent of the Department of Justice, !and it is thought possible that these |may connect Fischer with Boy-Ed ‘and Von Bernstorff. A secret service operative, who knew Fischer so well that he ate ‘with him—although [Tischer did not ‘know he was a United States agent '—said tgday that Germany's sup- posed wonderful espionage plans were futile, so far as Fischer was ' concerned. | ‘While Fischer was interned at 'Gloucester,” this Government agent ‘his wife was permitted to see ‘him.

HE Thirty-fifth Division of the é 3 United States Army is an fm- mense, complex war machine which is now beginning to find it- self. It has been a number of things in its brief career. First ft was the; various units which made up the Missouri and Kansas National Guards. These were combined under Federal direction, and further com- bmations were made within the di- vision to make regiments of the size our war plans demand. Regiments were broken up and assigned = to other arms of the service than the one they knew, because these new branches were needed, and the Na- tional Guard organizations had noth- ing like them. a When the organizatfon was com- plete, it was an army division only in that it was composed of the re- quisite number of officers and men. About the first of last November was begun the big job of making a hard- ened, trained fighting unft of the ma- terial at hand. More than this, it had to be unified and solidified into one single machine, just as the thou- sand parts, when properly assembled make a locomotive which answers perfectly to the hand of one man.

The National guardsmen had had varying amounts of training. Some of the older noncommissioned of- ficers were excellent. Some of the recruits were absolutely raw.

He concurred in the opinions of the taken as an axiom among military men that the salute is the keynote of discipline. An outfit which is care- less and slouchy in saluting, is lax in discipline, and bad discipline is disasteg Disctpline is where mili- tary training begins. It is the foun- dation of the temple. Men who have spent a lifetime in camp and among soldiers say that saluting in the Thirty-fifth is the best they have seen. This is an omen of most favorable portent. The man always had fine spirit, and if it has developed into the magnificent dis- cipline indicated, and [ am sure that it has, the keynote of a great divi- sion is there sounded. Men Drill Excellently. Their drill is excellent, and it goes witha swing now which shows that the feeling for it has developed. It shows that they are moving with their hearts as well as their legs. It is not the letter-perfect drill of vet- erans whose life has been given over to the manual of arms, but it ts cracking good. It is the drill of g0od civilians made over into good soldiers by intensive training. It is beginning to satisfy a lot of fastidi- ous drillmasters who have been tofl- ing with the men for months, and they are hard to please. Physically the men are magnifi- cent. Gen. Wright is as far removed as it is possible to conceive from the kind of man who grows enthusiastic without cause, or who grows effu- sive for effect. His judgments are coldly drawn and his decisions weighed. After he had inspected the 140th (formerly the Third and Sixth Missouri), he told me that they were as fine a body of men as he had ever seen in his life. He will see just as good men when he in- spects the 138th, which was made from the two St. Louis regiments. Another good sign is that the old National Guard allegiances and riv- alries, once so keen, have died away. The esprit de corps now is for their new regiments, brigades and division, and it is stronger and_ finer than ever. sister, ‘The death sentence of Ora Lewin who killed Motorcycle Policeff John McKenna April 7, 1916, eonfirmed by the Missouri aaa Court yesterday, and the date of e cution was set for April & next,” att ie The court also affirmed the, Sie sentence of Lewis’ brother, Roy, 8 victed of the same crime and.ne peda serving his time in the Jeffergen City penitentiary. otsoete Ora Lewis was convicted and-we@rts | tenced before the Legislature, ati ita: © last session, abolished capital ‘pmmrih — ishment in Missouri.

Every six months’ service in the advanced zone entitled officers and men to a gold service chevron, worn on the lower half of the left sleeve of the coat. A gold chevron identical in the soldier has received a wound, our been “gassed,’’ necessitating treat- ment by a medical officer. Several wounds on the same day mean only one chevron. Many men are already eligible for this chevron. Only offi- cers and enlisted men are eligible for chevrons. Copyright, 1018, by the Chicago Daily Nea This court would have the same jurisdiction over questions affecting international relations and inter- national law that the Supreme Court of the United States has over all cases in law and equity arising under the Constitution of the United States and treaties made under its authority. The enforcement, necessary, of the findings of this court should be a mater of joint international action in accordance with a definiie plan to be determined upon when the court is established. The principle upon which this action will rest has been stated with characteristic precision by Mr. As- quith when he said that the rule of the authority of an _ international court must be supported in case of need by the strength of all; that is, in the last,resort, by armed force.’’ “For the cuccess of this Court, it is imperative that secret internation- al understandings be deprived of any validity whatever in international law. it would be well to provide as a condition of the validity in international law of any treaty between two contracting powers, a copy of it must be deposited, imme- diately upon its ratification, in the archives of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. There would then be at public depository for every existing valid treaty. So far as the Covern- ment of the United States is con- cerned, secret treaties are not prac- ticable, since every treaty must be ratified by the Senate. It has been quite customary in Europe, how- ever, even in the cause of some demo- cratically governed countries, to | keep from the knowledge of Parlia- ments and of the people internation- al understandings and agreements that are entered into from time to time. “It should be clearly understood that any such plan of international co-operation as is proposed involves giving up the absolute right of any Government to deal finally, and without appeal except to war, with questions arising out of treeéées or relations between itself a me other Government. No serious prog- ress can be made in getting rid of war unless the people of the United WHY PILES? A Free Trial of Pyramid Pile Treatment will Answer the Ques- _ tion mph tically. ‘Giello!

The war has taught its own iessons of internation- al co-operation and _ internation- al interdependence. It has brought) abcut a new economic international- ism. The necessities of the conflict have broken down, one after anoth- er, many of the accustomed national barriers. Transportation 2n land and by sea, the manufacture and distribution of munitions and of the auxiliaries of war, as well as finan- | 'ample of France shows what bene-| cial resources, have al] been removed from the field of ordinary compet?- tion and reorganized on a basis, first of intranational and then of interna- tional co-operation. Not all of these emergency undertakings are desir- able to continue in ttmes of peace; but the lessons of economy, of avoid- ance of waste, and of prompt effect- iveness that they teach will not be lost. Probably the attempt to en- force competition by law, and simi- larly to punish co-operation, will now be everywhere abandoned in the light of the latest and most convine- mg lessons of experience. “Unless the result of the war is not only to defeat Germany and her are defeated, there will world for some time to come two great international combinations, the members of which will manifest their sympathies Mm military, politi- cal and economic co-operation.

The number of guns is only one, although it is the best-known factor in the role ofthe artillery. The other unknown factor, conditioning the whole strength of the artillery arm, is the power of industrial civ- ilization behind the guns to turn out munitionment and bring it up to the front. It is not only the industrial power to produce shells with which we are here concerned, but the com- parative industrial power of the two societies to produce every other ; weapon of tactful offense; the armed }and protected mobile gun platform which the British call tanks, and whatever new device either side may produce. Allies Have the Edge. Here the balance of opinion is that the Central Empires are at a disadvantage. This is only a tenta- | tive opinion, though based upon | many lines of calculation and upon ! observation of the enemy's maximum effort during the last fighting sea- son as compared with ours. So far as mere numbers of infantry is con- | cerned he has sufficient reserve to | undertake at least two great of- fenses upon certain points and if he prefers to diminish the intensity of his attack he can choose more than two points for his offensive, but the power of munition must still con- trol the. issue. It is a most significant fact that he has distributed hig reserves of in- fantry behind the line of contact pretty evenly all the way ffom Flan- ders to Alsace. That seems to argue a determination on his part to choose more than one point of attack, but itis only a very vague indication and I give it for what it is worth. During the campaign of 1918 also a new importance will attach to the fourth arm of the service—the air service. .The year will see a vigor- ous and probably decisive § fina) struggle between the two parties for supremacy in the air, each Knowing that superiority there will more than anything else decide the issue of the campaign. : Situation in the Air.

There is no such thing as ‘‘com- mand of the air.’”” You cannot drive your enemy from the air by superi- ority, as you can from the surface of the sea, because the work done is in three dimensions. But your superi- ority can half blind him in battle and immensely supplement the power of your artillery by bombing behind his lines and by attacks on his air- dromes,’ while the superiority once established should increase through your power of attack upon airdromes |and transport aircraft. or that supericrity the Allies largely depend on the coming in of America.

But I am of the opinion that our bieachcr capacity should be about one-tenth of what it is at present. “New York has only 500 bleacher geats, Pittsburg 70. Here we have a capacity of about 10,000 in bleachers. that we are far out of proportion “I do not!

Following action the sun-gods seats to 30 cents, the Car- dinal president's plan will therefore almost completely wipe out that fea- ture of old time baseball which was | of both | leagues in raising the price of the | | | supposed to be the mainstay of the | game—25-cent admissions. Does This Mean Hornsby? Another evidence that baseball is no longer conducted on improv ident lines developed when Rickey asserted that he was preparing to fill the places of those players on his club who have refused to sign at the terms submitted to them. Rickey refused to mention any names or to reveal where he intended getting the sub- stitutes. “I do not expect several of the 1917 Cardinals to be with the club during the coming season,” said Rickey. “As a result, I'am trying to find players to fill their places. I do not expect to get talent just as good as the ~ players I refer to, but I will do the best I can and I am positive the pub- lig will agree with me ine such a course. “Casting aside all personal refer- ences, it is plainly apparent that some of the players do not appreciate the extraordinary conditions existing in baseball. This docs not apply alone to the Cardinals. “At least two of my players have Gang, one of the features of James C. Jones’ origi- nal “Cardinal idea, will have to be disbanded because of the war tax has not been definitely decided by the management of the club. Last season about 37,000 boys saw major league games free. Under the interpretation of the Government’s tax officials these 37,000 would be subject to a tax of 10 cents each, making the club's obligation $3700, if the project were continued. In addition, the Cardinals must pay visiting, clubs 12% cents a head for* each Knot- Holer, after deducting a num- ber equal to the difference be- . tween the Cardinals’ free list and that of the visiting club. The aggregate cost to the Cardinals, this year,, of main- taining this Cardinal Yeature is estimated at $6000. President Rickey said the subject is still under consideration. =_ refused to sign contracts at the terms submitted to them. I have tried to be fair with all parties. I have offered the best I felt justified in paying and I can do nothing further in the mat- | ter. If they do not feel disposed to come ‘in at a reasonable price under war conditions, the next best thing to do is to find substitutes for them.” The two most important holdouts on the Cardin&i] club at present are Hornsby and Jack Smith. Rickey does not believe that the po- sition of the club owners is fully ap- | He main- | preciated by the public. tains there is no denying the fact that the national pastime is facing a cri- sis and the sooner this is realized by all concerned, and the players in par- ticular, the better it will be. Horrors! Economy May Force Players to Carry Their Own Baggage on Trips HIS situation has been brought T to a focus by the increased cost of baseball, which rise has becn coincident with the advance in practically all commodities since the beginning of the war. It is for this reason that the magnates have de- cided to increase the admission prices for 1918 and Rickey is of the opin- ion that even this increase will not be. sufficient to meet the added ex- pense. _ “tt is to be expected that the pub- lic may look unfavorably on the raise in prices at the beginning,’ said Rickey. “But when they under- stand what we are facing I am sure they will see that it was absolutely necessary. “There are two rreat drawbacks to the penny-change system. The first of these and the most important is the inconvenience to the public. We would have to install monev changing machines in all ticket oftices d even then it would not facilitate the sale of tickets, because the machines would constantly have to be reioaded. “Concerning the surplus that will avecrue representing the difference in He amount of the war tax and our new scale of prices I think it will be the policy of the clubs to retain this. I believe I am safe in saying thut it will not produce sufficient revenues to meet the high cost of | haseball, Players to Carry Uniforms. "We are secking out every possible means of saving money next season and will operate on the most economi- eal basis possible. In this corinection, it might be well to mention that the Players probably Will be forced to carry their own uniforms in 1918. Baggage accommodations are going to suffer in line with other things. Baggage men are operating as con- servatively as they can. We will have to do the same. I am not saying we will ask the players to do this. ie they might as well prepare for t.” ®There will be no change in the system involving rain checks, ac- cording to Rickey. The rain checks will be in the nature of a receipt for payment of the war tax during the ensuing season. Under the present system, rain checks are only valid for any of the next three games after the one postponed. The National League will not vary from this rule. As the Magnate Sees It. Rickey apparently has substantial reasons for the attitude he. assumes. The three great factors contributing to the high cost of baseball are: Salaries. Traveling expenses, bills. a ‘Maintenance and equipment. The first named are gradually seek- ing their normal level after having been greatly swelled by the Federal League. As yet, however, they are not back to the pre-war basis. Hotel bills and traveling expenses will be a great deal higher than last year. because of the high cost of food and conservation of railroad facilities. Maintenance and equipment also are ‘higher. The cost of baseballs alone l'has been raised 25 cents over prices prevailing last season by the manu- facturers. Uniforms, in line. with wearing apparel, also have advanced in cost. Branch evidently has taken the bit in his mouth. And he has given warning that he’s going to pull heavily.on the retns. including hotel a School Basket Results Division A.

Hoppe expressed the opinion that Peterson could expound his (Hoppe’s) angle game better than he himself, because, as he says, Peterson has had more opportunities to study his strength and weaknesses on certain shots. But there were a fow remarks from the champion about~threa-cush- ions during a conversation yesterday that are well worth recording, so here gocs: “Kisses, in my estimation, are the bane of three- -cushion players,” said Hoppe. “I \experienced considerable tro@ble with them myself at the outset and still do.

Now lesten to Peterson, who spake thus of Hoppe’s three-cushion artis- try: “T have seen good players shoot poorly and have «he breaks go the wrong way. But Hoppe is always the same.

Not the least humorous of these is the “go-get-a-reputation” attitude of Willard toward aspirants to his crown. Willard, for example, told Fulton’s followers, after the Miske bout at St. Paul, that the giant plas- terer would have to go out and do something to show his class. Wil- lard was quoted as recognizing Dempsey as the next best heavy- weight to himself. ‘ Since that time ‘ Dempsey. has sought a battle with Willard, who sent him away with the injunction to make a name for himself first. The laugh comes in when you con- sider what Willard himself has done ty earn recognition—nothing except beat a fat darkey, too old to train. Prior to that bout he lost té Gun- boat Smith and Bearcat McMahon. * * _ The langh grows when you remember that Fulton has stopped Sam Langford in six rounds, knocked out Gunboat Smith in seven rounds, McMa- hon in four rounds, Jim Figna in two, beat Carl Morris badly in six, Charicy Weinert in two, “ and did many other things to” prove that he can fight and can knock out his foes.

However, the Pikers have de- termined.to even the score with at least the Kansas University team this week. The Jayhawkers call Francis Gymnasium Friday and Saturday nights, these being the last at-home Conference games that the local: team plays this season. Coach Hamilton's men surprised the entire Valley by taking two games easily from Wash- ington when the quints met at Law- rence. There will be no line-up shifts when the two teams meet this week. However, the rough spots in the lo- cals play will ba smoothed by daily practice. Kansag plays on a smaller floor than they will find here, and also are accustomed to glass back standards, which are not used at Francis Gymnasium.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Send for the Brooks Rupture Appliance 1. It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and in it are embodied the principles that inventors have sought after for years. ‘ ” of position. 3. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out Being an air cushion of soft rubber it clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or cayses irritation. 4, not cumbersome or ungainly. : Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used in othe ‘trusses, it is 5. It is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness. 7. There is nothing about it to get foul, and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 8. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy, making it a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending the free coupon today.

Who Have Enlargement Speci- fications Already Prepared. | A .recital hall equipped « with a/| large, modern pipe organ, and hayv- | ing a seating capacity of fully 1500 | | persons, is to become a.feature. of | ‘the Exhibit Building, into which the! Southern Hotel has been converted. 1 the outset that idea was pop- | ei ya the directors of the Ex- hibit Corporation, but business pru- dence dictated deliberation and the approval of persons who constitute a definite factor in musical enter- prise was obtained. Site Is Old Ordinary. ) Selection of the location for this | adjunct was made with care. The | site is the former hotel ordinary, on | the second floor and immediately adjoining on the north the main din- /ing hall, which has been set’ apars ‘for big conventions. The advantage (of this arrangement is that, in the fevent of a recital event of large | drawing capacity the convention i hall, if not Dtherwise occupied, may | gun with good prospects, | be thrown open to the audience. In | addition, the broad aisles to the) i the Same purpose. | The finishing. of the interior of the | structure is peculiarly in harmony with the music featuré of the per- manent exposition. Massive mirrors,. of a glass pattern not now available, line the. walls throughout the recital hall, giving an air of sumptuousness and inspiring a spirit of enjoyment that cannot fail to make the feature doubly enjoyable. | The organ will be placed on the | east side of the hall. . The instru- iment, according to tentative plans, is to be of a size and pattern caicu- lated to be in keeping with the gen- | |eral character of the institution for | | years to come, which implies a sub- ' stantial outlay. Addition Already Planned. Another detail of the enterprise | which the directors have also taken | {up thus early is that of addition to | the building. This is contemplated | through increasing its height and re- | building those sections on the south- ern or Elm street front of the block, which are of smaller proportions than the main building. This, of | course, is a matter for the future, but the success of the enterprise as | definitely foreshadowed at this time |is such as to demand attention and inquiry. The building can take with- out strain any enlargements and the ‘addition of several stories would not impair the stability of the structure. On the first two floors of the build- ing there are 245 exhibit. spaces, ready for permanent occupancy at the close of the auto show. These are _almost absorbed by exhibitors, local and outside, so that it is anticipated the opening of the permanent exhi-’ | bition, about March 1, will be with ‘a full display of industrial commodi- ties. The upper floors, which will be made ready with the utmost ra- | pidity, will contain greater space | than the lower ones, because reserva- | tions on the latter for conventions, recitals, concessions, displays re- ‘quire no small amount of space. Conversion of the third and remain- ing upper floor can proceed without dissturbance of arrangements on, those below. ‘DAVIS COMMENDS PATRIOTISM: Co-operation With Alien Property) Custodian Appreciated by Director.

The old saying, “No loss without some gain,’ applies to the poultry feed situation. High prices of feeds have made poultry keepers consider values of feeds as never before, and they are rapidly learning how to buy more economically. While farmers have, as a rule, fed their poultry the grain that was cheapest on the farm, many poultry specialists and most small poultry keepers have been accustomed use their favorite poultry feeds with- out considering either the quality of the supply or the possibility of using (By the cheaper substitutes. This attitude of the buyers of poultry feeds has made it easy for feed dealers to sell low-grade and damaged grain at much § higher prices than could have ‘been ob- tained if poultry keepers’ every- where were studying and practicing economy in buying feeds. When buyers of poultry feeds buy with ref- erence to quality and ‘price as com- pared with the cheapest grain on the market, the price of that grain will control the prices of all other grains for poultry feed. Corn Usually Cheaper Feed. Under normal conditions, corn is in nearly all parts of the United States the cheapest poultry feed. At present oats’ are nearly everywhere cheaper .than corn, and in some parts of the country barley is cheap- er than oats. -When corn goes down to $1.50 a hushel, oats should be 75 cents and barley $1.20 a bushel to Open Front Henhouse The House of Profit A Popular Back Yard Henhouse MILLER - WIESE Construction Co.

The relative commercial feeding values of the grains are most read- ily computed by using the prices per hundred pounds, taking corn as the rough comparison. of its feeding value with that of corn. It is not practicable to make ac- curate calculations for this purpose, but a calculation which assumes that, except for indigestible matter and deterioration, the common grains are, pound for pound, of the same feeding value, and rates them accordingly will meet the require- ments of the case. Judging Quality of Feed. The common characters and con- ditions of grain which roughly de- termine their values as poultry feeds are easily. estimated by the eye or by weight or bulk in measures or containers of known capacity. Good cracked corn is hard, bright, clean, and:free from soft and chaffy particles. Corn that is crushed (not cracked), .and, shows much soft, chaffy, and scaly matter, sheuld be rated proportionately below g0o0d cracked corn in feeding vatue. tion appears should be rejected as unfit for poultry. Oats and barley with the hulls on are at once seen to contain more in- digestible matter than corn and wheat. Again, the indigestible hulls ed for that. An average sample of oats' should be valued about 12 to 15 per cent less than a good sample of cracked corn; an average sample of barley from 3 to 5 per cent less than good cracked corn.

Un FEATURE TRADE IN Tht RAIN MARK ‘Futures Score New High Rec: ords on Week’s Dealings; Corn Also Firm. Broadening of buying demand faster than reecipts could be aug-/| mented brought about an uneven, ad-_| vance last week in grain local values. Compared with a week ago, corn yes- terday wasewp %c to 4%c,’and oats up 2%c to 3c. It wags not surprising that demand was good for corn, as the long delay of the crop movement had Kept the entire country on’ a hand-to-mouth | basis: A decided enlargement of re- ceipts vegun on Monday, but the bearish effect was more than coun- ter-balanced by sudden notice that orders which prevented Eastern ship- ments from Chicago had. been with- drawn. Throughout the rest of the week, until Friday, prices continued to strengthen.

Brisk demand from shippers did a _good deal to hoist oats to the high- est prices yet this season. .The mar- ket closed at the top level. St, Louig Cash Grain.

The title of the book ia “La Presse clandestine dans la Belgique” (Fhe Secret Press of Occupied Belgium), and the author is no less a man than Prof. Jean Massart of the Royal Belgian Academy. It is even declared that the most famous of these subterranean journals, “La Libre Belgique,” had the triumph of hounding to his grave’ that infamous Baron won Bissing, Governor of Belgium, who capped the climaz of even his career by advising the Kaiser from his death-bed to have the King of Belgium assassinated. NE morning in June, 1915, says Prof. Massart, Baron von Bissing, turning over some documents on his desk in the Kommandantur, in Brussels, which was his headquarters, came upon a surprise which caused him to turn livid with fury. It was a copy of La Libre Bel- gique. Part of the exasperating mystery of this journal was that whenever a number appeared a copy found its way to the Governor’s desk or bobbed up in his mail. But this particular copy was adorned with a frontis- piece, which was a snapshot of the Baron himself, in the very act of perusing La Libre Belgique. No won- der that the Governor rang his bell in a frenzy; that secretaries, aides, chief of the Espionage Bureau, came running in terror! Soldiers went scurrying over Brus- sels, looking for the perpetrators of this “outrage,” but in vain. Von Bissing had already offered a reward of $1000 to anyone who would denounce the eCitors and printers of La Libre Belgique. He now raised the amount to $5000, and soon afterwards to $15,000. Not only did these offered bribes fail, but in February, 1916, the newspaper had-its revenge in a classic jest at the ex- pense of the Germans. >The Kommandantur was thrown into excitement one day by a message stating that the editor of La Libre Belgique was ‘a certain Andre Vesale, who could be found at the Place de Barricades in Brussels.” De- tachments of troops were rushed feverishly to the spot, and the journal in its next issue showed a photograph of them, surrounding and gaping in chagrin at the statue of Andreas Vesalius, the distinguished anatomist, who died in 1564! Another frontispiece, for the fiftieth issue of the paper, was entitled “The Kaiser im: Hell,” and was in imitation of Wiertz’s well-known painting, “Napoleon en Enfer.”’ Still another was a photograph of King Albert. Standing in text. under the title on the first page were always three quotations from patriotic ad- dresses by King Albert, Cardinal Mercier and M. Max, the courageous Mayor of Brussels. The paper’s tele- graphic address was ironically given as “ Kom- mandatur, Brussels’’—a telling shot at the ernor. ‘ And in the issue of October, 1915, the editors printed a long open letter to His Excellency Baron von Bissing, pointing out how futile it was for his spies te try to _ @iscover the whereabouts of their printing office. | “You forget,’ they told him, “that in Belgium a promise is a sacred engagement, binding the one ~who makes it as firmly as an oath and better than a diplo- matic treaty. We are not Germans; do not, therefere, measure other people’s corn by your own bushel. “As to killing La Libre Belgique, do not count on that. This paper is a will-o’-the-wisp, which issues from the tombs of those whom your cornpatriots massacred at Louvain, Tamines and Dinant, and which pursues you. But it is also the ignis fatnus issuing from the graves of the German soldiers who fell at Liege, at Waelhem ard on the Yser. These now see for what an execrable plan of domination they were sacrificed to the Moloch of- war, under the pretext of defending their native land. % “Finally, this journal is also the voice of all the mothers, the voice of all the widows and orphans who. weep for those who are lost. It is a voice which is Gaily increasing in intensity. It resounds over all our provinces and passes beyond our frontiers. It wil] not cease to be heard until the last of your soldiers and agents has ceased to tread the soil of our country, which you invaded with a total disregard of all law.” And in still another issue there is a notice wittily -i(pevelatory of clumsy Teuton methods, so worded that & might sting even a German to the ‘quick: “Should any of our readers receive the visit of an i 4 } a ; ‘ | fh honorable ecclesiastic who desires to speak to them about La Libre Belgique, the good this journal is doing, etc., they are begged to take this cassocked boche by the arm and forthwith show him the door. At the same time, those who think it their duty to accompany this dismissal with a kick, are free to do so.” It was this journal which resurrected the fact that Baron von Bissing had been guilty of looting during the Franco-Prussian War. The source of this enlight- ening information was irreproachable; it was the nar- rative of an eyewitness, an American journalist, Dr. Scoffern. La Libre Belgique reprinted the story, with only this comment: “Belgium governed by the looter of St. Cloud!’ The thievery occurred on the occasion of the burning of the palace of St. Cloud, when Von Bissing was a Lieutenant on the staff of the Third Army. : In addition, not a calumny, not a Hun trick to dis- hearten the Belgian population and make them believe they were betrayed by their King and the allies, not a lie from the notorious Wolff agency, not a menda- cious poster or pamphlet circulated in Germany, was suffered to escape detection by the alert editors. They had sources of information which enabled them to tell the truth. Their especial delight was to “show up” the fa'sifications of the German official bulletins. Side by side with this serious part of its work, La Libre Belgique’ gave a certain part of its space to the lighter side of political journalism. There was a uni- versal roar of laughter among the Belgians over one of its exploits of this kind. L’Ami de l’Ordre was a jour- nal permitted to appear at Namur under supervision. One day it printed a poem, under the title ““Le Guerre,” in the space alloted generally to proclamations of Gov. von Bissing. The censor had passed the verse without suspicion. A burst of Rabelaisian hilarity went up when La Libre Belgique gravely pointed out that some wicked farceur had taken advantage of the simplicity of the censor. For the verse, on inspection, proved to be an acrostic applying a most insulting epithet to the Ger- mans. To give the incident a still richer relish, the stu- pid Governor of Namur, Baron von Hirschberg, fulmi- nated dire threats against the culprit, whom he never _ caught, by means of posters pasted up on all the walls of the city. it once happened that a copy of La Libre Belgique was pinned on the back of a German soldier, who went men.” Again an.applicant appeared before the: boches and declared his readiness to work for them, in order to get potatoes, and even to work for them exclusively. “So you are ready to sign the declaration?’ he was asked. “Yes, certainly,” said the Belgian. “And what is your trade?” “I am a grave digger,” was the reply. A’ peasant with a donkey cart, according to La Libre Belgique, was ordered by an old Landsturmer at the town gate to give the name of the donkey. “He hasn’t got one,” said the peasant. “Then call him Albert.’’ “That would be a reflection on my King.” “Cali him William, then.”’ “That would be a reflection on my donkey.” This newspaper published 100 issues between Feb. 1, 1915, and Dec. 31, 1916. There are said to have been 10,000 copies of each issue printed, and as it was passed from hand to. hand, its reading public was probably many times: that number. The work of distribution was so cannily carried on that only in a few instances did Von Bissing’s agents ever succeed in catching a person with a copy in his possession. Tnis is despite.the fact that at one period every ring at the doorbell suggested to the inhabitants of Brus- sels that the police had called to search the house for the paper. Persons carrying portfolios and bundles on the street were stopped and made to turn out every scrap of paper they had. Von Bissing once arrested seven of the leading printers in Ghent and threatened to keep them in jail until the editors of the paper re- vealed themselves. He held the prisoners a month and then grumblingly turned them loose, having learned nothing. The paper played with the Gérfman agents by giving them false clews. It stated once that its place of pub- lication was “an automobile cellar,’ and the Teutons went on a wild-goose chase through all the garages in Brussels. Then, in a frontispiece for February, 1916, Von Bissing was pictured seated at hi§f desk, surround- ed by search warrants, while the journal’s plant, mount- ed on a train of three automobiles, rolled serenely past. The title under the caricature -was “Chagrin d’amour,” and beneath, in French, was the distich: “For a year I have sought thee, by night and by day, And still, little horror, you escape me alway.” Thus was the truth spread and love of liberty kept alive among a heroic people whom the Germans be- lieved they could enslave and blind by force.

Then the skip- per shoved her round. “There was no confusion aboard, not even when the seventh shell struck the skipper, passed through his side, through the port deck, and out through the side of the ship. The second hand at once took charge of the tiller, and the firing continued. All the time water was pouring into the ship and she was sinking. “One man, the gunlayer, went to the skipper to see if he could render first aid, but it was obvious that he was mortally wounded. ‘It’s all right, boy, do your - best,’ said the skipper, and then, to the second hand: ‘Send a message off.’ This was the message: — Neison being attacked by submarine.

The second hand went to the skipper lying there on the deck and heard him say ‘Abandon ship.

About a quarter of an hour afterwards the Nel- son went down by the head. “It was just drawing into dusk then, and the crew of the boat pulled all that night. Towards morning the wind freshened and blew them out of their course. They pulled all that day, and had a pair of trousers and a large piece of oilskin fastened to two oars to attract attention. Once a vessel was sighted, and once a group of minesweepers, but they passed out of sight. At nikht the weather became finer, and they pulled until daybreak. At 10:30 a. m. they found a buoy and made fast to it. By afternoon they were sighted and rescued.” PAGE TWO “SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- -FEBRUARY 17, 1918.

ITERARY history has more than once proved that a man may write flamingly about romance and still miss romance in his own life.. This paradox is once more presented today in the case of Harold Bell Wright, the former Missouri preach- er, who has become the nation’s champion fabricator of best-sellers. He coutd tell for the delight of hundreds of thousands of readers, in “The Winning of Barbara Worth,” how another man made conquest of a woman’s heart; and proclaim to other multitudes in “Their Yesterdays” his heartfelt eloquence on the subject of love. Yet he could not win the love of his own wife, and his own romance has perished into the yesterdays. The shipwreck of his matrimonial bark was an- nounced to the world a few weeks ago, when he filed suit for divorce at Los Angeles. Since then the time has passed in which, under the law, Mrs. Wright was at liberty to file an answer. As she failed to do so, the presumption was that she would not oppose the suit. In fact, it was stated that she had accepted a large property settlement, arranged out of court. A court decree, it was anticipated, would soon write “Finis” at the end of the popular writer’s marital book. ‘‘Mental cruelty” is the charge which Wright brought against his wife and the mother of their three sons. Friends explain that behind this phrase lies the story of a clash of unsympathetic temperaments, such as has often occurred in the marriages of artists and literary men. His wish, they say, is often to immerse himself for days in a dream of his characters and plots, in which state he becomes totally oblivious to all out- side matters. With these moods his wife had little pa- tience, and did not scruple to break in upon them with _ practical interruptions. Such invasions were fatal to the novelist’s inspira- tion, in his own view, because of his peculiar habits of composition. He told the writer of a recent article in a literary magazine that he cannot compose until his characters “begin to talk to him.” In order to win them into conversational willingness, he throws him- self into a spell of concentration bordering on self- hypnosis, which often lasts for days before he gets results. If the spell is shattered by any external in- terruption, he has to repeat the process all over again, and loses many days. In fact, it is stated that Wright blames upon the distractions introduced by his wife the strictures of certain critics, regarding his latest novel, to the effect that it shows a falling off of in- spiration and literary style in comparison with his earlier works. The author finally recognized, the story goes, that he had to choose between his career and his wife. Those in his confidence assert that at last he took up the subject with her directly, and found that she was as willing as himself for a separation, whereupon the divorce suit followed. : In his petition the novelist complains that his need for wifely care, due to the sapping of his vitality through literary labor, has been denied. Once when he lay ill in a tent in the Arizona desert, he related, Mrs. Wright visited him only once and showed no interest in his condition. Because of this alleged neg- lect, he said, his physician ordered him removed to a hospital in Tucson. At another time, the petition goes on, he was being treated in an Arizona hospital for injuries suffered in an accident, and his wife, then in Los Angeles, refused his repeated requests that she visit him. The plaintiff was greatly humiliated, he asserts, on an occasion when he and his wife were entertain- ing guests at a beach resort. It is alleged that she took the whim to go home, and did so without making «excuses, much less apologies, to her guests. He pur- chased a tract of land at Del Mar and had plans drawn Domestic troubles of Harold Bell Wright, America’s champion best-seller au- thor, result in divorce suit against mate, which she does not contest— Clash of artistic and practical tem- peraments, say friends — How for- _mer preacher in Missouri Ozarks at $400 a year won fortune of half-. million with pen, and sold 7,000,- 000 copies of his novels £3 $3 for erecting an expensive residence upon it, but she refused to look at the plans or to take any interest .in the matter whatever, he avers. He then told her he would build a home at any place she might select, but she treated the offer with disdain, according to the plaintiff. But failure though he may be as a husband, Harold Bell Wright’s career as a writer has been one of the most amazing in this country. About 20 years ago he was the pastor of a little church in the Ozarks, at Pierce City, Mo., at an annual salary of $400. A few years later he published his first novel, ‘“‘That Printer of Udell.” Today he can boast of the sale of 7,000,000 copies of his books, and it is estimated that he is worth half a million dollars, all earned with his pen. His royalties on “The Winning of Barbara Worth’”’ reached the astounding total of $80,000 in a single month. The sale of “The Eyes of the World” was more than 1,200,000 copies within two years—a record in the American book trade. Reviewers have often scoffed at what they called the conventionality of his views, the crudeness of his style. But they cannot deny that his vogue is literally enormous, and that he commands the approval of millions of readers. He was born in 1872, 46 years ago, at Rome, N. Y., the son of a carpenter. Having accepted the tenets of the Christian sect, he entered its training school, Hiram College, at Grafton, Ill, at the age of 20, with the pur- pose of studying for the ministry. It was while a stu- dent at Grafton that he met and wooed his future wife, Miss Frances E. Long. Being poor, he supported him- self by doing odd jobs about the town. After two years his health broke down from exposure and over- work and he contracted a case of pneumonia so severe Harold Bell Wright. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 17, 1918. PAGE THREE that his eyes were badly impaired and his constitution suffered a shock which has kept him ever since in dell- cate health, despite years of outdoor life. Physicians advised him that it would mean his death if he attempted to re-enter school. So, with a canoe and a sketchbook, he drifted 500 miles down the Ma- honing River, and finally wandered into the Missouri Ozarks, where he supported himself by farm work. Here he preached his first sermon. He was a reg- ular attendant at services in the little log school- house, and one Sunday morning when the pastor failed to appear, he was asked to talk. This experience con- vinced him that, despite his interrupted schooling, he might still be of use in the ministry, and soon after- ward he accepted a regular pastorate at Pierce City. In 1898 he took over the pastorate of a larger church at Pittsburg, Kan., and a year later was married to Miss Long. Pittsburg was a tough mining town, and the ardent young preacher, with that passion for re- form which fills many of his novels, looked about him for a means of arousing the people to the evil of their ways. He hit upon the idea of writing a story, with Pittsburg as its setting, which would tell how the up- lift of the town could be accomplished. His purpose was to read the story, in installments, to his congrega- tion on special evenings of successive weeks. The re-- sult was “That Printer of Udell’s.” . Later he left Pittsburg for Kansas City, Mo., where he hoped to place his ministry on a large city scale, but his health was unequal to the task, and he retired again to the Ozarks, becoming pastor of a church at Lebanon, Mo. It was there that he wrote “The Shep- herd of the Hills,’’ said to be his own favorite among all of his books. It was published in 1907. His health continuing poor, Wright accepted an-of- fer of the pastorate of the Christian Church at Red- lands, Cal., and there he wrote “The Calling of Dan Matthews,” published in 1909. And three vears later he finished “The Winning of Barbara Worth,” per- haps his best-known novel. This book marked the end of his ministry of. the pulpit and the beginning of his complete consecration to the ministry of the pen. When he finished the novel, he was a very sick man. He had often toiled the night through, overtaxing nerves and strength, For several months he had vir- tually dwelt within the four rooms of his study, and ai one time his friends feared he would never live to complete the book. He wrote the last chapters while confined to his bed. Then it was ghat, on medical advice, he took up the outdoor life which he continues to the present day. He set up a camp 12 miles from Tucson, Ariz., on a headland on the base of the Catalina Mountains, and there lived summer and winter in a tent. This fact, and his reputed income of $100,000 a year, caused him to be called “America’s wealthiest tent dweller.” But he contrived to live this primitive life in an elaborate and luxurious manner. Thirteen khaki<ol- ored tents composed the home of the novelist and his family. The boys—Gilbert, now 17; Paul, 15, and Nor- man, 7—always insisted to visitors that the school tent was the one bearing the ill-omened number of 153. Each member of the family had a sleeping tent, be- sides which there were a kitchen and dining room tent, a big living room tent and Wright's own study tent, the walls ef which can be rolled up like awnings, as the novelist loves sunlight while he is writing. Mrs. Wright sometimes lived at the camp and sometimes in Los Angeles. The author, so far from letting his domestic catas- trophe interfere with his work, hopes to do all the more and better writing on that account, his friends understand. His next story is to have the Ozarks as its setting, like “The Shepherd of the Hills.” and he was expected to visit the region again to refresh, his sense of local color 4 Lah tern eihepn liens rite web Sorte ssc. nh os . . sites a Ne PR eS Oe ee - “ wien, Pes u lead r ann c

Once completely dried, the blocks are planed and cut into pieces—trapezoidal prisms, which already outline roughly the form of a high heel, showing the proper height and length and the tapering width, ulthough all their faces are still plane. They are then cut to give the taper from top to bottom, and gouged out behind in the desired curve. The goug- ing machine consists of a spindle provided with blades of proper shape fixed along its axis, before which there oscillates, along a slide-bar, a small horizontal carriage holding the block of wood. The tapered block thus reared goes next to one of several turning machines, according to the par- formed. These lathes have a vertical shaft which rotates very rapidly. Along this is ranged a bat- tery of steel knives,disposed so as to give the de- sired shape to the block, which is gripped in a jaw that holds it fast on a moving carriage. By proper guidance of this the work is given a com- bined turning and rocking movement about the cut- ting instrument; and under this treatment: the lameness, which increases until the shortest walk is quite impossible. As a very brief examination will show, this is due to the bad position imposed upon the foot by the unnatural shape come Drs. Quenue and Kuss, pointing out that the artificial elevation of the heel deranges what they have very happily desig- nated the peda! equilibrium. The muscular action, the orientation and the mutual relationships among the elaborately articulated members of the human foot are thrown out of gear; in particular the arrangement of those joints of the foot which support the weight of the body is profoundly changed. The tibia is forced backward; there is a tendency to bend the knee; and in order to maintain the center of gravity within the area of support it is necessary to throw the upper part of the trunk backward, exaggerating the curve of the spine and causing the abdomen to protrude unduly. ‘Such are the arrangements of the organs and mem- bers which the high heel necessitates in merely stand- ing still; when it comes to actually walkjng the case is even more serious. Let us compare the films, prepared by Dr. Quenue, representing a young woman walking first barefoot, then shod. In the first film we see the various parts of the sole of the foot in harmonious action. The heel first touches the ground, then the sole is down in its entirety; then the heel is lifted, the foot swings forward and is ap- plied again to the ground, to leave it again in the same way. We have, in a word, a natural stride, in which the foot rocks on the ground from heel to toe, ankle and foot flexing properly to make this possible. In the second film, however, the subject passes before us in short, jerky steps, moving her foot through the air and - putting it on and off the ground quite rigidly, without change of relative position of heel and toe, without any flexure whatever—giving the effect of a stiff and awkward glide rather than a step. It is the jerky progress of an automatic puppet which we have here, not the supple gait worthy of a brisk human being. And what is even more fatal, the same parts of the foot support, at all times and whowy without aid, the weight of the body. The resultant excessive fatigue has been demonstrated radiographically by Dr. Menard. His prints show the respective positions of the bones of the foot, both when the latter is in its normal po- sition and when it is confined by high-heeled shoes. When at rest all the bones are aligned side by side, but the shape of the high- heeled shoe throws them into an oblique position, high behind and low in front. In this position the bones of the foot proper press upon those of the toes, which, striking in turn against the bottom of their prison, in time become deformed. On the other hand, the bones of the heel take an altogether vicious position, and the whole effect is precisely that of club- foot. Long before this stage is reached the foot has registered failure in its normal functions of balance and support, and these duties have been thrown upon the leg muscles, especia!ly that of the calf, which must be in a constant state of ten- sion in order that an upright posture may be attained.. So pronounced {s this mus- PAGE’ FOUR This ts what the high heels do the feet. cular stress that it actually shows in the motion pic- tures, The appearance of high-heeled shoes dates only from the fifteenth century. Up to that time all footwear, from the earliest times, had had a simple flat sole. Since then, with few reactions, the trend has been to- ward high and ever higher heels, until the present ex- tremes of three and even three and one-half inches have been reached. These extremes have practically given Kadiograph of bare foot, stepping . naturally. birth to a new and picturesque industry. It has been necessary to adapt modern machine tools and modern methods to this work; and that development has to a very large extent taken place in specialized establish- ments, quite outside the shoe factory proper. The wood comes to these establishments in logs, bark and all. It is first cut up into boards, then into blocks, and these are piled up in the yards and left to season for two years. After this the proces of dry- ble of the three-inch heel. to the bones of blank soon begins to look really like a heel. Nor is this guiding left entirely to the worker's eye. The shaft of his lathe carries a metal form for the finished heel, and the block of wood which is being worked is fixed rigidly to this, A carriage moving both laterally and longitudinally supports a roller which rests in contact with the metal form, and follows around the whole contour of the lat- ter. The roller communicates its movements to the battery of knives and bits, which cut the wood accordingly. There remains nothing further except to hollow out the upper surface where the heels will join the shoe and to polish the turned surfaces so as to make them absolutely smooth and clean. Then the camou- flage is in order; this consists in covering the wood with silk, satin, yelvet, linen or other cloth, or perhaps with black or white celluloid or kid. After this final step in their toilette, the heels are packed in dozens of pairs, according to style and size; and the next incident in their careers is shipment to the shoe factory. : Trinitrotoluol Poisoning; How It Can Be Prevented HIS is one of the greatest dangers to which munition workers are subject, and much in- terest therefore attaches at the present time to the conditions under which such poisoning occurs and the precautions that should be taken against it. A comprehensive paper on the subject, by Dr. J. W. Schereschewsky, published in Public Health Reports, deserves general distribution in the industry concerned. In loading shells with this substance there is con- stant opportunity for nearly everyone connected with such work to become the subject of chronic poisoning through either the fumes or the dust of the substance. The explosive is generally introduced into the empty shells in one of two ways: the powdered substance is pressed into the shells by power presses or molten trinitrotoluol is poured into them. The latter method is the more common and the more dangerous to the health of the workers. 3 The poison is readily absorbed through the skin, or it may enter the system by way of the respiratory tract. Young peo- ple are especially susceptible to its effects; no worker under 21 years of age should be employed in processes bringing him into contact with it. A complete suit of overalls, fitting close- ly at the neck, wrists and ankles, gloves and a cap covering the hair, should be worn by all workers. Men should keep their hair short and be clean. shaven. Overalls should be laundered weekly. The eating of lunches and keeping of food in workrooms should be strictly prohibited. Lastly, there shouid be rigid supervision of all workers by a competent physician, familiar with the symptoms of poisoning and prompt with precautions for pre- venting it. S NDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

Same jelly, same ownership of two stores close together, but a saving of 6 cents. Why? In the first store you would have gone to the shelves, pic'ed out what you wanted and earried it home, after paying the cashier. In the other store a clerk would have waited upon you, wrapped up the parcel, and it would have been charged and delivered. - That isthe difference, apparently, between a “help- yourself” grocery store and the kind most of us are acquainted with. The help-yourself grocery is a comparatively new institution and so far is to be found in only a few places in the United States. Mr. Brennan’s store is said to be the only one between Lockport, N. Y., and Kansas City. The principle is that of the cafeteria— reduction in price by cutting down overhead expense. ‘Mr. Brennan calls his store a. “groceteria.”” The sav- ing in this instance is effected by getting along with at least two fewer clerks than would be required if the store were conducted in the usual way. All de- liveries are made by the wagons of his charge-and- deliver store, which charges customer 5 cents for each delivery, and the help-yourself store has no wagon. If it were not for the vehicles of the other store, the help-yourself place would either have to operate two wagons or make no deliveries.: Mr. Erennan is of the opinion that, SSL gee o Sectional view of interior of ‘‘Help-Yourself” grocery, showing customer at counter which runs through nidde of store, and twe others at cashier's desk. its return. The two clerks in the store give as- Sistance when they can,to persons not familiar with the place, or to cust@mers making considerable purchases. For the most part, however, the clerks occupy themselves with keeping the shelves replen- ished with .goods and with putting up orders to be de- livered. Especially in the rush hours cf morning and taking into consideration the help which the driver could give in the store, one delivery wagon would maintain itself on the basis of the charge now made for deliveries, but whether two would. be self-sup- porting is more open to question. The interior arrangement of the help-yourself store is much like that of other modern groceries. There is the usual neat window display, back of which stretch shelves of canned goods along the sidewalls. Two counters running through the mid- le of the store’s length hold other goods, much of it of the kind usu- ally kept in bulk and put up in small’ quantities by clerks as pur- chased by consumers. The weight is marked on each package and all goods bear plain price marks. Near the entrance hangs this list of the store’s rules: We propose to sell for cash only. Customers will serve themselves and will be required to make a round of the store. On entering take the south side, or left-hand side of south counter, and come out on the north side of north counter. Baskets will be sold to purchasers if not supplied.

My Sweetest Mother: - Your letters have been following me about, to Kos- eritz and to Frau Berg’s, where, of course, you didn’t know I wouldn't be. I went to Frau Berg’s today and found your last two. I love you, my precious mother, and thank you for all your dearness and sweet un- selfish understanding about Bernd and me. You have aiways been my closest, dearest friend, as well as my own darling mother. I seem now to be living in a sort of bath of love. Can anything more ever be added to it? I feel as if I had reached the very innermost heart of happiness. Wonderful how one carries about such_.a precious consciousness. It’s like something magic and hidden that takes care of one, keeping one untouched and unharmed; while outside, day and night, there’s this terrible noise of a people gone mad. You wrote to me, last sitting under a cherry tree, you said, in the orchard at the back of your hotel at Glion, and you talked of the color of the lake far down below through the leaves of walnut trees, and of the utter peace. Here, day and night, day and night, since Wednesday, soldiers in new gray uniforms pass through Brandenburger Thor dawn the broad road to Charlottenburg. Their tramp never stops. I can see them from my window tramping, tramping away ' down the great straight road; and crowds that don’t seem to change or dwindle watch them and shout. Where do the soldiers all come from? I never dreamed there could be so many in the world, let alone in Berlin; and Germany isn’t even at war! But it’s no use asking questions, or trying to talk about it. I’ve found the word “why” in this house is not only useless but improper. Nobody will talk about anything; I suppose they don’t need to, for they all seem per- fectly to know. They’re in the inner circle in this house. They’re not the public. The public is that shouting, perspiring mob out there watching the sol- diers, and Frau Berg and her boarders are the public, and so are the soldiers themselves. The public here are all the people who obey, and pay, and don’t know; an immense multitude of slaves—abject, greedy, piti- ful. I don’t think I ever could have imagined a thing so pitiful to see as these respectable, middle-aged Berlin citizens, fathers of families, careful livers on small incomes, clerks, pastors, teachers, professors, drunk and mad out there publicly on the pavement, dancing with joy because they think the great moment they've been taught to wait for has come, and they’re going to get suddenly rich, scoop in wealth from Russia and France, get up to the top of the world and be able to kick it. That’s what I saw over and over again today as I somehow got through to Frau Berg's to fetch your letters. An ordinary person from an ordinary country wants to cover these heated el-- derly gentlemen up and hide them out of sight, so shocking are they to one’s sense of respect and rev- erence for human beings. Imagine decent citizens, paunchy and soft with beer and sitting in offices, wear- ing cheap straw hats and carefully mended and brushed black coats, dancing with excitement on the pave- ments, and nobody thinking it anything but fine and creditable, at the prospect of their children’s blood going to be shed, and everybody's children’s blood, ex- cept the blood of those safe children, the children of the Hohbenzollerns! The weather is fiercely hot. There’s a brassy sky without a cloud, and all the leaves of the trees in the Thiergarten are shiny and motionless as if they were cut out of metal. A little haze of dust hangs perpetually along the Lindens and the road to Charlot- tenburg—not much of ft, because the roads are too well kept, but enough to show that the troops never leave off tramping. And all down where they pass, on each side, are the perspiring crowds of people, red and apoplectic with excitement and heat, women and children and babies mixed up in one heaving, frantic mass. The windows of the houses on each side of the Brandenburger Thor are packed with people all day long, and the noise of-patriotism doesn't leave off for an instant. It’s a very ugly noise. The only place where I can get away from it—and I do hate noise, it really hurts my ears—is the bathroom here, which is a dark cup- board, with no window, in the very middle of the house. I thought it a dreadful bathroom when I first saw it, but. now I’m grateful that it can’t be aired. The house, was built years,and years before Germans began to wash, and it wasn't till the Koseritzes came that a bath was wanted. Then it had to be put in any hole, and this hole is the one place “where there is silence. Everywhere else, in every room in the house, it is as if one were living next door to a dozen public houses in the worst slums of London and it were al- ways Saturday night. I do think the patriotism of an unattacked, aggressive country is a hideous thing. Bernd got me somehow through the crowd to the calmer streets on the way to Frau Berg. He didn’t want me to go out at all, but I want to see what I can. The Kaiser rushed through the Brandenburger Thor in his car as we went out. You never ‘saw such a scene as then. It was frightening, like a mob of lunatics let loose. Every time he is seen tearing along the streets there’s this wild scene, Bernd says. He has suddenly leaped to the topmost top of popularity, for he’s the dispenser now of the great lottery in which all the draws are going to be prizes. You know there isn’t a German, not the cleverest, not the most seber, who doesn’t regularly and solemnly buy lottery tickets. Aren’t they, apart from all other things they are, the funniest people. So immature in wisdom, so top-heavy with dangerous knowledge that their youngness in wisdom makes them use wrongly. If they hadn’t got the latest things in guns and equip- ment they would be quiet, and wouldn’t think of ‘fighting. Bernd made me promise to wait at Frau Berg’s till he could fetch me, and as he didn’t get back till 2 o’clock, and Frau Berg very amiably said I must be her guest at the well-known midday meal, I found myself once more in the bosom of the boarders. Only this time I sat proudly on Frau Berg’s right, in the place of honor next to Dr. Krummlaut, instead of in the obscurity of my old seat at the dark end near the door. It was so queer, and so different. There was the same Wanda, resting her dishes on my left shoulder, which she always used to do, not only so as to attract my attention but as a convenience to herself, because they were hot and heavy. There were the same board- ers, except the red-mouthed bank clerk and another young man. Hilda Seeberg was there, and the Swede, and Dr. Krummlaut; and, of course, Frau Berg, mas- sive in her tight black dress buttoned up the front without a collar to it, the big brooch she fastens it with at the neck half hidden by her impassive double chins, which flow down as majestically as a patri- arch’s beard. We had the same food, the same heat, and I’m sure the same fTies. But the nervous tension there used to be, the tendency to quarrel, the pugna- cious political arguing with me, the gibes at England, were gone. I don’t know whether it was because I’m engaged to a Prussian officer that they were so very polite—I was tremendously congratulated—but they were certainly different about England. It may, of ° course, have been their general happiness—happiness makes one so kind all round!—for here, too, was the content, the satisfaction of those who, after painful waiting, get what they want. It was expressed very noisily, not with the restraint of the Koseritzes, but it was the same thing really. The Berg atmosphere was more like the one in the streets. Where the Grafin in her pleasure became only more calm, the boarders were abandoned—excited like savages danc- ing round the fire their victims are to roast at. Frau Berg rumbled and shook with her relief, like some great earthquake, and didn’t mind a bit apparently about the tremendous rise there has been in prices this week. What will she get, | wonder, by war, ex- cept struggle and difficulty and departing boarders? Being a guest, I. had to be polite and let them say what they liked without protest—really, the disabili- ties of guests! I couldn't argue, as I would have if I’d still been a boarder, which was a pity, for mean- while I’ve learned a lot of German and could have said a great many things and been as natural as | liked here away from the Grafin’s gentle smile re- minding me that I’m not behaving. But I had to sit and listen smilingly, and, of course, show none of my horror at their attitude, for more muzzling even than being a guest is being the betrothed of a Prussian officer. They don’t know what sort of a Prussian officer he is, how different; how truly educated, how full of dislike for the base things they worship and want; and he, caught by birth in the Prussian chains, shall not be betrayed by me who love him. Here he is, caught anyhow for the present, and he must do his duty; but some day we’re going away—he and I, and you, litthe mother darling, when there’s no war any- where in sight and therefore no duty to stay for, and ve’ll go and live in America, and he’ll take off all those buttons and spurs and things, and we'll give our- selves up to freedom, and harmlessness, and art, and beauty, and we’ll have friends who neither intrigue, which is what the class at the top here lives by, nor who waste their lives being afraid, which is what all the other classes here spend their lives being. “At last we are going to wipe off old scores against France,’ Dr. Krummlaut spluttered through his soup today at Frau Berg’s, with shining eyes—I should have thought it was France who had the old scores that need wiping—‘‘and Russia, the barbarian Colossus, will topple over and choke in its own blood.” Then Frau Berg capped that with sentiments even more bloodsthirsty ; Then the Swede, who never used to speak, actually raised her voice in terms of blood, too, and expressed a wish to see a Cossack strung up by his heels to every electric light standard along-the Lindens. Then Hilda Seeberg said if her papa—that papa she told me once she hadn’t at all liked—were only alive, it would be the proudest moment of his life when, at the head of his regiment, he would go forth to slay President Poincaire. ‘And if,’ she said, her eyes flashing, ‘owing to his high years his regiment was no longer able to accept his heroic leadership,’ he would, I know, proceed secretly to France as an as- sassin and bomb the infamous Poincaire—bomb him in the name of our Kaiser, of our fatherland and of - our God.” “Amen,” said Frau Berg, very loud. I flew to Bernd when he came. It was as if a door had been flung open and the freshness and sanity of early morning came into the room when he did. I hung on his arm, and looked up into his dear shrewd eyes, so Clear and kind, so full of wisdom. The board- ere were with one accord servile to him; even Dr. Krummilaut, a clever man with far better brains prob- ably than Bernd. Bernd, from habit, stiffened and became unapproachable the instant the middle class public in the shape of the congratulatory boarders ap- peared. He doesn’t even know be'’s like that, his train- ing has made it second nature. You should have seen his lofty, complete indifference. It was dreadfully rude really, and, oh, how they loved him for it! They simply adored him, and were ready to lick his boots. It was so funny to see them sidling about him, all of them wagging their tails. He was the master, come among the slaves. But to think that even Dr. Krumm- laut should sidle! There’s a most terrific extra noise going on outside. I can hardly hear myself write. I don’t know whether to run and find out what it is, or retreat to the bath- room. My ears won't stand much more—! shall get deaf, and not be able to play. Later. What has happened is that special editions of the papers have appeared announcing that the Kaiser has decreed a state of war for the whole of Germany. Well’ They’ve done it now. For I did extract from a very cheerful looking caller I met coming upstairs to the drawing room that a state of war is followed as inev- itably by the real thing as a German betrothal is followed by marriage. One is as committal as the other, he said. It is the rarest thing, and produces an immense scandal], for an engagement to be broken off; and, explained the caller looking extremely pleased—he was a man caller, and therefore more will- ing to stop and talk—to proceed backwards from a state of war to the status quo ante might produce the unthinkable resvit of costing the Kaiser his throne. “You can imagine, my most gracious Miss,” said the caller, “that his majesty would never permit a ca- lamity so colossal to overtake his people, whose wel- fare he has continually and exclusively in his all- highest thoughts. Therefore you may take it from me as completely certain that war is now assured.” . “But nobody has done anything to you,” | said. He gazed at me a moment, and then smiled. “High politics, and little heads,” he said. “High politics and little women’s heads”—and went on up the stairs smil- ing and shaking his own. I do wish they wouldn’t keep on talking as though my head were so dreadfully small. Never in my life have people taken so utterly and complacently for granted that I’m stupid. (Continued on Page 12.)

Once in a long while, moreover, the annals of this most covet- ed decoration contain the bare anneunce- ment that it has been awarded to a cer- tain soldier or sailor, and the world is left in the dark as to the specific reason. In these ' Pare, cases one bows with awe before the honored name, for behind the silence of the record he knows that there is a feat of heroism so extraordinary, so important, that it has been deemed wiser to withhold it from the record until the war is over and the hero shall no longer be a marked man and a special target for the enemy. Twice since-the beginning of this war the reasons for which the Victoria Cross was given have been officially withheld. The two men thus distinguished are Commander Gordon Campbell of the Royal Navy and Lieutenant-Commagder W. E. Sanders of the Roy- al Naval Reserve. A British naval officer of high rank who was in New York on his country’s business a few weeks ago told the story of the extraordinary feat that won the V. C. for one of these two men. He would not say which of them it was, and we shall probably have to wait until the war ends and the Official Gazette sets at rest all doubts by publishing the record. It is fair to remark, however, that trawlers are com- manded by Lieutenants of the Naval Reserve. The story told by the British naval officer in New York is of a feat so unusual and so picturesque that its re- cital loses little by the uncertainty as to whether its hero should be called Campbell or Sanders. Here it is: Rolting slowly on the cold gray swells of the En- glish Channel, westward over a certain number of miles ot waves, then back eastward over the same miles, steaming steadily to and fro like a policeman over a lonely beat, a trawler was patrolling monotonously, the Lieutenant who commanded her scanning the tossing surface about him as a detective scans the faces of a crowd. Nothing relieved the monotony of the rhythmic rise and fall of the boat and the westward and eastward patrol, except an occasional British or French cruiser and the regular exchange of signals with other patrol- ling trawlers as either end of the beat was reached. The young Lieutenant had plenty of time to growl inwardly at his luck—why was he not on some great battleship where there was at least room to stretch his legs, where one could keep dry and where there was some slight chance of battle, instead of on this bobbing tub, where there was not room to whip a cat, where every wave drenched all on board with spray and where-there was never a chance for any sort of fight? What opportunity was there here to do anything that might win promotion, higher pay, a medal, a few days’ leave? He had entered the navy because he wanted to have a part in the fighting—and here he was doing the work of a marine policeman! A white streak—different to his practiced eye from the white streaks of breaking waves—tore through the water, coming straight towards him. A shock, and it seemed as if an earthquake had struck the trawler. An explosion smashed her to bits in an instant, and the young Lieutenant found himself swimming with bits of wreckage and dying men about him. Slipping out of the hampering folds of his great coat, he swam. He saw some of his men seize bits of wreckage and drift away. He saw the mangled bodies of others bob up for an instant in the trough of a wave. There seemed no piece of wreckage big enough to support him. But he was a strong swimmer and he kept afloat. He did not know in what direction he was swimming. He just swam. Suddenly his feet struck something solid. He pushed back on it and gave himself a forward spurt, but as he extended his feet backwards again they touched that solid submerged something a second time. He rested his feet against it and it seemed like a great smooth rock. But it was moving! under, him! “The submarine that sank us!" This thought flashed into the swimmer’s mind. Turning quickly in the SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- -FEBRUARY 1741948. * Submear Still holding his pistol pointed towards the single obit he squatted upon the shoulders of the dead commander. water, he saw already above the surface a pair of peri- scopes and the top of a’conning tower, with the sea water streaming down them as they rose. He ceased swimming instantly and braced his feet upon the slippery solid, which he knew now was the deck of the U-boat that had just sent his vessel and crew to the bottom. As it came up he came up with. it. A few seconds more and the conning tower was out of the water and the decks awash. The eye of the Lieutenant was fixed upon a little narrow trapdoor, expecting every instant to see it open and the head of the German commander emerge. He drew his Colt’s automatic .pistol from its case and pointed it at the door. (THe modern naval pistols are waterproof.) Scarcely were the waves pouring off the glistening steel of the deck that was now above the surface than the door swung open and the face of a German officer appeared. The automatic pistol barked once, and the German lurched forward. Springing upon him like a cat, the young Briton seized the body of the enemy, that it might not be drawn back down the ladder and so make it possible to close the door and submerge again. He had aimed to kill and had made a bull’s-eye.. The body blocked the closing of the door. Stilt held- ing his pistol pointed towards the single exit, he squat- ted upon the shoulders of the dead commander, whose legs dangled down the ladder and might be pulled in by the crew below. He waited for the gecond head to emerge were five shots still left in the magazine of bh and he planned that five more Germans should dic. They must come up in ‘single file. The doorway was so narrow that there was not room for more than oné at a time. ! He squatted and waited, holding his pistol pointed through the open doorway that could not be closed be- cause it was blocked by the body on which he sat. There It was coming upe, Minutes passed. Still the second head did not ap- pear. Would they rush him? Would they wait until he was too stiff with cold and wet to shoot straight? He thought of what the Germans below must be dis- ule pistol, . a cussing. There .were enough of them to overpower him if they could get at him. They could not know how many cartridges he had in reserve. They must know that the first five at least who came up would be killed. Were there five of them brave ehough te commit suicide? For coming up the ladder would be sure death. And still he waited. He expected they would rush him, and de was ready. But they didn’t. Nothing happened. All was silent, except for the splash of cheppy. waves on the metal deck of the man- made s@a monster. Minute after minute passed. The tension was great and he lost all track of time. Mo- tionless.and wet, he began to feel numb. But his right hand holding the pistol never shook, and he never took his eye off that doorway. After an. interminable wait he became aware of a stream af smoke over the waves. Turning his eyes away from the doorway for an instant, be saw a British destroyer darting swiftly through the water and coming in his direction. He stood up and waved his hand. A toot from the whistle informed him that he had been seen. -In a few minutes the déstroyer was alongside. The . Lieutenant, amid the cheers of the destroyer’s crew, turned over to its commander the prize he had cap- tured single-handed, intact, with all her crew save the one dead officer as prisoners. + Elastic Dressing for Wounds Put on Hot T a recent meeting of the French Academy of Medicine in Paris Dr. Bouet-Henry com- mended the use of a very hot dressing on cer- tain kinds of wounds. To make the patient able to bear the great heat without pain and to pre- vent the dressing from cooling too rapidly, gutta percha “is blended with paraffin or liquid petrolatum. The best results are obtained by mixing 1000 parts of the paraffin or petrolatum with 50 parts of the gutta percha and applying it at a temperature of between 158 and 194 degrees Fahrenheit: This takes ‘10 times as long to cool as water at thé’ same temperattire, and | the dressing rémains soft and élastic. ae PAGE SEVEN

ES Mak, aes Mia A a RRR a MyM SAL ae aE ER TEBE Se BAR A Bia TN * crossed BY ¥ LONG LIVE THE KING! MARY ROBERTS RINEHART CHAPTER III. DISGRACED. T 8 oclock that evening the Crown Prinee Ferdinand William Otto approached the pa}- ace through the pubtic square. He approached it slowly, for two reasons. First, he did not want to go back. Second, he was rather fright- ened. He had an idea that they would be disagree- able. There seemed to be a great deal goifig on at the ‘palace. Carriages were rolling in under the stone archway and, having discharged their contents, mostly gentlemen in uniform, were moving off with a thun- dering of hoofs that re-echoed from the vaulted roof of the entrance. All the lights were on in the wing where his grandfather, the King, lived alone. As his grandfather hated lights, and went to bed early, Prince Ferdinand William Otto was slightly puzzled. He stood in the square and waited for a chance to slip in unocbserved. He was very dirty. His august face was streaked with soot, and his august hands likewise. His small derby hat was carefully placed on the very back of his head at the-angle of the American boy's cap. As his collar had scratched his neck, he had, at Bobby’s suggestion, taken it off and rolled it wp. He decided, as he waited in the square, to put it on again. Miss Braithwaite was very peculiar about collars. Came a lull in the line of carriages. Prince Ferdi- nand William Otto took a long breath and started forward. As he advanced he stuck his hands in his pockets and swaggered a trifle. It was, as nearly as possible, an exact imitation of Bobby Thorpe’s walk. And to keep up his courage, he quoted that young. gentleman's farewell speech to himself: “What 4d’ you care? They won't eat you, will they?” At the entrance to the archway stood two sen- tries. They stood as if they were carved out of wood. Only their eyes moved. And within, in the court around which the palace was built, were the King’s bodyguards. Mostly they sat on a long bench and exchanged conversation, whil@é one of them paced back and forth, his gun over his sheulder, in front of them. Prince Ferdinand William Otto knew them all. More than once he had secured cigarettes from Lieut. Larisch and dropped them from one of his windows, which were_just overhead. They would look straight ahead and not see them until the officer’s back was turned. Then one would be lighted and passed along the line. Each man would take one puff and pass it on behind his back. It was great fun. Prince Ferdinand William Otto stood in the shad- ows and glanced across. The sentries stood like wooden men, but something was wrong in the court- yard inside. The guards were all standing. and there geemed tc be a great many of them. And just as he had mace up his mind to take the plunge,.so to speak, a part of his own regiment of cavalry came out from the courtyard with a thundering of hoofs. wheeled at the street, and clattered off. Very unusual, all of it. The Crown Prince Ferdinand* William Otto felt in his poc’ et for his handkerchief, and, moistening. 4 cor- mer with his tongue, wiped his face. Then he wiped his shoes. Then, with his hands in his trousers pock- @ts, he sauntered into the light. ‘Now sentries are trained to be impassive. The mode! of a sentry is a wooden soldier. A really good sentry does not sneeze or cough om duty. Did any- one ever see a sentry, for instance, wipe his nose? Or twirl his thumbs? Or buy a newspaper? Certainly pot. Therefore the two semtries made no sign when they Baw Ferdinand William Otto approaching. But «one of them forgot’ to bring his musket to salute. He himself instead. And something strained ar@und the other sentry’s lower jaw suddenly relaxed into a smile as his roya) highness drew a hand from its refuge and saluted. He glanced first at one, then at the other, rather sheepishly, hesitated between them, clapped his hat. on more securely, and riarched in. e “The young rascal!’’ said the second sentry to him- & ‘ And by turning his head slightly—for a sentry leai us to see all around If°e a horse, without twisting his nec~—he watched the runaway into the palace. Prince Ferdinand William Otto went up the stone stdircase. Here and there he passed gudrds who staied and salute@: Had he not been obsessed with PAGE, TEN. .the corridor came the low tones of the Council. the vision of Miss. Braithwaitu, he would have known that relief followed in his wake. Messengers clattered down the staircase to the courtyard. Other messen- gers, breathless and eager. flew to that lighted wing where the Council sat, and Where the old King, propped up im bed, waited and fought terror. The Archduchess Annunciata was with her father. Across the corridor the Council debated im low tones. “Tell me again,” said the King. “How im God's name could it have happened? Im daylight, and with all of you there!” “ft have told you all I know,” said the Arch- duchess impatiently. “One moment he was there. Hedwig and he were making gestures, and I reproved him. The next he was gone. Hed- wig saw him get up and go out. She thought”—— “Send for Hedwig.” “She has retired. She was devoted to him, and”—— “Send for her,’ the King shortly. The Archduchess An- nunciata went out. The old King lay back, and his eyes, weary with many years of ruling, of disappointments-and bit- terness, roved the room. They came to rest at last on the phottograph of a young man, which stood on his bedside tale. He was a very young man, in a uniform. He was boyish and smiling. There was a dog beside him, and its head was on his knee. Wherever one stood in the room, the eyes of the photograph gazed at one. The King knew this, and because he was quite old, and because there were few people to whom a King dares to speak his inmost thoughts, he frequently spoke to the photograph. The older he grew, the more he felt, sometimes, as though it knew what he said. He had begun to think that death, after all, is not the end, but only the be- ginning of things. This rather worried him, too, at times. What he wanted was to lay things down, not to take them up. “If they’ve got him,’ he said to the picture, “it is out of my hands, and into yours, my boy.” Much of his life had been spent in waiting, in wait- ing for a son, in waiting for that son to grow to be a man, in waiting while that son in his turn loved and married and begot a man-child, in waiting, when that son had died a violent death, for the time when his tired hands could relinquish the scepter to his grand- child. He folded his old hands and waited. From across A si- lent group of his ape: stood in the vestibule out- side the door. The King lay om his bed and waited. Quite suddenly the door opened. The old man turned his head. Just inside stood a very dirty small boy. tig The Crown Prince Ferdinand William Otto was most terribly frightened. Everything was at sixes and sevens. Miss Braithwaite had been erying her head off, and on seeing him had fallen in a faint. Not that he thought it was a real faint. He had unmis- takably seen her eyelids quiver. And- when she came to she had ordered him no supper, and four pages of German translation, and to go to bed at 7 o'clock in- stead of 7:30 for a week. All the time crying, too. And then she had sent him to his grandfather. and taken aromatic ammonia, His grandfather said nothing, but looked at him. ‘“‘Here—here I am, sir,” said the Crown Prince from the door. The King drew a long breath. But the silence per- sisted. Prince Ferdinand William Otto furtively said BeeDANie ae The King raised himself on his elbow. ‘‘ What was that?’’ he demanded. rubbed a dusty shoe against the back of a trousers leg. “I’m afraid I’m not very neat, sir,”’ said Prince Fer- dinand William Otto, and took a step forward. Until his grandfather commanded him, he could not ad- vance into the room. “Come here,” said the King. He went to the side of the bed. “Where have you been?” “I’m afraid—I ran away, sir.” “Why?” : Prince Ferdinand William Otto considered.’ It was rather an awful moment. “I don’t exactly know. I! just thought I would.” . You see, it was really extremely difficult. To say that he was tired of things as they were would sound. ungrateful. Would, indeed, be most impolite. And then, exactly why had-he run away? “Suppose,” said the King, “you draw up a chair and tell me about it. We'd better talk it over, I oo. °*. a His royal highness drew up a chair, and sat on it. His feet not reaching the floor, he hooked them around the chair rung. This was permissible be- eause, first, the King coftild not see them from his bed. Second, it kept his knees from shaking. “Probably you are aware,’ said the King, “that you have alarmed.a great many people.” ; “I’m sorry,.sir. I didn’t think.” “A Prince’s duty is to think,” “Although,” observed his royal highness, “1 don't really believe Miss Braithwaite fainted. She may have thought she fainted, but her eyelids moved.” “Where did you go?” “To the park, sir. I—I thought I'd like to see the park by myself.” “Go on.; “It’s very hard to enjoy things with Miss Braith- waite, sir. She does not really enjoy the things I like. Nikky and I’’"—— “By ‘Nikky’ you meah Lieut. Larisch?” “Yes, sir.” “Go on.” SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- -FEBRUARY 17, 1918.

(Continued) | “We like the same things, sir—the Pike’s-Peak-or- Bust, and all that.”’ The King raised himself on his elbow. ‘‘What was that?” he demanded. Prince Ferdinand William Otto blushed, and ex- plained. It was Bobby’s name for the peak at the top of the scenic railway. He had been on the rail- way. He had been—his enthusiasm carried him away. His cheeks flushed. He sat forward on the edge of his chair, and gesticulated. He had never had such a good time in his life. “Il was awfully happy, sir,’ he ended. “It feels like flying, only safer. And the lights are pretty. It’s like fairyland. There were two or three times when it seemed as if we'd turn over, or leap the track. But we didn’t.” The King lay back and thought. More than any- thing in the world he loved this boy. But the occa- sion demanded a strong hand. “You were happy,” he said. “You were disobedient, you were causing grave anxiety and dis- tress—and you were happy! The first duty of a Prince is to his coun- try. His first lesson is to obey laws. He must always obey certain laws. A King is but the servant cf his peo- ple.” : “Yes, sir,” said Prince Ferdinand William Otto. The old King’s voice was stern. “Some day you will be the King. You are being trained for that high of- fice now. And yet you would set the example of insubordination, dis- obedience and reckless disregard of the feelings of others.” | “Yes, sir,” said Prince Ferdinand William Otto, feeling very small and ashamed. “Not only that. You slipped away. You did not go openly. You sneaked off, like a thief. Are you proud of it?” “No, sir.’ “I shall,’’ said the King, ‘require no promise from you. Promises are poor things to hold to. I leave this matter in your own hands, Otto. You will be punished by Miss Braith- waite, and for the next 10 days you will not visit me. You may go now.” Otto got off his chair. He was feeling exceedingly crushed. ‘‘Good- night, sir,’”’ he said. And waited for his grandfather to extend his hand. But the old King lay looking straight ahead, with his mouth set in grim lines, and his hands folded over his breast. At the door the Crown Prince turned and bowed. His grandfather's eyes were fixed on the two. gold eagles over the door, but the photo- graph on the table appeared to be smiling at him. CHAPTER IV. THE TERROR. NTIL late that hight Gen. Mettlich and the King talked together. The King had been lifted from his bed and sat propped in a great chair. Above his shabby dressing gown his face showed gaunt and old. In a straight chair facing him sat his old friend and Chancellor. “What it has shown is not entirely bad,”’ said the i ' =! pee 4 “a ” ty sree Tire. - - = = eecereggrieese “oe Peeeereo ti) | Ban. ; . - *« ~ . ~. ~ “‘ nT ‘King, after a pause. ‘“‘The boy has initiative. And he made no attempt at evasion. He is essentially truthful.” “What it has also shown, sire, is that no protec- tion is enough. When I, who love the lad, and would —when I could sleep, and let him get away, as |! did’’—— “The truth is,” said-the King, “we are both of us getting old.”” He tapped with his gnarled fingers on the blanket that lay over his knees. ‘“‘The truth is also,” he observed 42 moment later, “that the boy has very few pleasures. He is alone a great deal.” Gen. Mettlich raised his shaggy head. Many years of wearing a soldier’s cap had not injured his heavy gray hair. He had bristling eyebrows, white now, and a short, fighting mustache. When he was irritated, or disagreed with anyone, his eyebrows came down and the mustache went up. Many years of association with his King had given him the right to talk to him as man to man. They even quarreled now and then. It was a brave man who would quarrel with old Ferdinand I!. So now his eyebrows came down and his mustache went up. “How—alone, sire?’ “You do not regard that bigoted English woman as a companion, do you?’ “He is attached to her.” “I’m damned if I know why,” observed the old King. “She doesn’t appedr to have a single human quality.” Human quality! Gen. Mettlich eyed his King with coneern. Since when had the reigniny family de- manded human qualities in their governesses? ‘She is a thoughtful and conscientious woman, sire,” he said stiffly. It happened that he had selected her. “She does her duty. And as to the boy being lonely, he has no time to be lonely. His tutors’”’—— “How old is he?’ “Ten next month.”’ The King said nothing for a time. Then: “It is hard,” he said at last, “for 74 to see with the eyes of 10.

Gen. Mettlich did it. He was rather a poor subject. “The Germans have not our problem, sire,’ he said, and stuck up his mustache. “I'm not going to raise the boy a prisoner,” in- sisted the King stubbornly. Kings have to be very stubborn about things. So many people disapprove of the things they want to do. Suddenly Gen. Mettlich bent forward and placed a hand on the old man’s knee. ‘We shall do well, sire,’ he said gravely, ‘to raise the boy at all.’’ There was a short silence, which the King broke. “What is new?” “We have broken up the university meetings, but I fancy they go on in small groups. I was gratified, however, to observe that a group of students cheered his royal highness yesterday as he rode past the university buildings.” “Socialism at 20,” said the King, “is only a symp- tom of the unrest of early adolescence. Even Hu- bert’’—he glanced at the picture—‘‘was touched with it. He accused me, I recall, of being merely an ac- cident, a sort of stumbling-block in the way of ad- vanced thought!” He smiled faintly. Then he sighed. “And the others?” he asked. “The outlying districts are quiet. So, too, is the city. Too quiet, sire.” “They are waiting, of course, for my death,” said the King quietly. “If only you were 20 years younger than I am, it would be better.” He fixed the General with shrewd eyes. “What do those asses of doctors say about me?”’’ “With care, sire”’—— “Come, now. This is no time for evasion.” “Even at the best, sire’-——- He looked very fero- cious and cleared his throat. He was terribly ashamed that his voice was breaking. ‘Even at the best, but, of course, they can only give an opinion’’—— “Six months?” “A year, sire.” “And at the worst!” said the King, with a grim smile. Then, following his own line of thought: ‘But the people love the boy, I think.”’ “They do. It is for that reason, sire, that I advise particular caution.” He hesitated. Then: “Sire,” he said, earnestly, “there is something of which I must speak. The Committee of Ten has organized again.” Involuntarily the King glanced at the photograph on the table. “Forgive me, sire, if 1 waken bitter memories. But 1 fear’—— “You fear!’’ said the King. ‘Since when have you taken to fearing?” “Nevertheless,” maintained Gen. Mittlich doggedly, “I fear. This quiet of the last few months alarms me. Dangerous dogs do not bark. I trust no one. The very air is full of sedition.”’ ‘ The king twisted his blueveined old hands together, but his voice wag quiet. “But why?” he demanded, al- most fretfully. “If the people are fond of the boy, and I think they are, to—to carry him off, or injure him, would hurt the cause. Even the Ter- rorists, in the name of a republic, can do nothing without the people.”’ “The mob is a curious thing, sire. You have ruled with a strong hand. Our people know nothing but to obey the dominant voice. The boy out of the way, the prospect of the Princess Hedwig on the throne, a few dema- gogues in the public squares — it would be the end.”’ : The King leaned back and close. his eyes. His thin, arched nose looked pinched. His face was gray. “All this,” he said, “means what? To make the boy a prisoner, to cut off his few pleasures, and even then, at any time’—— “Yes, sire,” said Mettlich doggedly. “At any time.” Outside in the anteroom Lieut. Nikky Larish roused himself, yawned and looked at his watch. It was after 12 and he had had a hard day. He put uw velvet cushion behind his head and resolutely composed himself to slumber, a slumber in which were various rosy dreams, all centered about the Princess Hedwig. Dreams are beyond our control. Therefore, a young Lieutenant running into debt on his pay may without presumption dream of a Princess. All through the palace people were sleeping. Prince Ferdinand William Otto was asleep and riding again the little car in the Land of Delight. So that, turn- ing a corner sharply, he almost fell out of bed. On the other side of the city the little American » boy was asleep also. At that exact time he was be- ing tucked up by an entirely efficient and placid-eyed American mother, who felt under his head to see that his ear was not turned forward. She liked close-fitting ears. Nobody, naturally, was tucking up Prince Ferdinand William Otto. Or attending to his ears. But, of course, there were sentries outside his door, and a valet de chambre to be rung for, and a number of em- broidered eaglés scattered about on the curtains and things, and a country surrounding him which would one day be his, unless—— “At any time,” said Gen. Mettlich, and was grimly silent. It was really no time for such a speech. But there is never a good time for bad news. “Well?” inquired the King, after a time. “You have something to suggest, | take it.’’ ’ The old soldier cleared his throat.. “Sire,” he be- gan, “it is said that a Chancellor should have but one passion: his King. |! have two: my King and my country.” The King nodded gravely. He knew both pas- sions, relied on both. And®found them both a bit troublesome at times! “Once, some years ago, sire, | came to you with a plan. The Princess Hedwig was a child then, and his late royal highness was—still with us. For that,’ and for other-reasons, your majesty refused to )bis- (Continued on Page 15.) SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

He*won’t go away from me that way, I know.

YOUR TIRED CHRIS. Before Breakiast. Berlin, Sat., Aug. Ist, 1914. My Blessed Little Mother: I’ve seen a thing I don’t suppose I'll forget. It was yesterday, after the news came that Germany had sent Russia an ultimatum about instantly demobiliz- ing, demanding an answer by 11 this morning. The sensation when this was known was tremendous. The Grafin was shaken out of her calm into exclamations of joy and fear—joy that the step had been taken, fear lest Russia should obey, and there be no war after all. We had to shut the windows to be able to hear our- selves talk. Some women friends of the Grafin’s who were here—we had no men with us—instantly left to drive by back streets to the Schlossplatz to see the sight fit must be there, and the Grafin, saying\ that we, too, must witness the greatest history of the world’s greatest nation in the making, sent for a taxi—her chauffeur has gone—and prepared to follow. We had to wait ages for the taxi, but it was lucky we had to, else we might have gone and come back and missed *®eeing the Kaiser come out and speak to the crowd. We went a long way round, but even so all Germany seemed to be streaming towards the Lindens and the part at the end where the palace is. I don’t ex- pect we ever would have got there if it hadn’t been that a cousin of the Grafin’s, a very smart young officer in the guards, saw us in the taxi as it was vainly try- ing to cross the Friedrichstrasse, and flicking the obstructing policemen to one side with a sort of little kick of his spur, came up all amazement and salutes to inquire of his most gracious cousin what in the world she was doing in a taxi. He said it was hope less to try to get to the Schlossplatz in it, but if we would allow him to escort us on foot he would be proud—the gracious cousin would permit him to offer her his arm, and the young ladies would keep very close behind him. So we set out, and it was surprising the way he got us through. If the crowd didn’t fall apart instantly of itself at his approach, an #@bsequious policeman— one of those same Berlin policemen who are so rude to - one if one is alone and really in need of help—sprang up from nowhere and made it. It’s as far from the Friedrichstrasse to the Schlossplatz as it is from here tc the Friedrichstrasse, but we did it very much quick- er than we did the first half inthe taxi, and when we reached it there they all were, the drunken crowds —that’s the word that most exactly describes them— yelling, swaying, cursing the ones in their way or who trod on their feet, shouting hurrahs and bits of patri- otic songs, every one of them decently dressed, obvi- ously respectable people in ordinary times. That’s what is so constantly strange to me—these solid burghers and their families behaving like drunken hooligans. Somehow a spectacled professor with a golden chain across his black-waistcoated and impres- sive front, just roaring incoherently, just opening his mouth and hurling any sort of noise out of it till the veins on his neck and forehead look as though they would burst, is the strangest sight in the world to me. T can imagine nothing stranger, nothing that makes one more uncomfortablé and ashamed. It is what will always jump up before my eyes in the future at the words German patriotism. And to see a stout elderly lady, who ought to be presiding with slow dignity in some ordered home, hoarse with shouting, tear the feathered hat she otherwise only uses tenderly on Sundays off her respectable gray head and wave it frantically, screaming hochs every time a Prince is seen or a General or one of the Ministers, makes one want to cry with shame at the indignity put upon poor human beings, at the exploiting of their passions, in the interests of one family. The Grafin’s smart cousin got us on to some steps and stood with us, so that we should not be pushed off them instantly again, as we would have been if he had left us. I think they were the steps of a statue, or fountain, or something like that, but the whole, whatever it was, was so covered with people, encrusted with them just like one of those sticky fly-sticks is Liack with flies, that I don’t know what it was really. I only know that it wasn’t a house, and that we were quite close to the palace, and able to look down at the sea beneath us, the heaving, roaring sea of dis- torted red faces, all with t®eir mouths wide open, all blistering and streaming in the sun. | The Grafin, who had recovered her calm in the pres- ence of her inferiors of the middle classes, put up her eveglasses and examined them with interest and in- dulgence. Helena stared.

Of course I said “‘Colossal” to the cousin, when he expressed his satisfaction more particularly to me. “Dreckiges Volk, die Russen,’’ he remarked, twist- ing his little moustache’s ends up. ‘Werden lernen was es heisst, frech sein gegen uns. Wollen sie blau und schwartz dreschen.” You know German, so I needn’t take its peculiar flavor out by transplanting the young man’s remarks. “Oh pardon—aber meine Gnadigste—tausendmal pardon,” he protested the next minute in a voice of tremendous solicitude, having been pushed rather hard and suddenly against me by a little boy who had scram- bled down off whatever it was he was hanging on to; and he turned on the little boy, who, I believe, had tumbled off rather than scrambled, with his hand flashing to his sword, ready to slash at whoever it was had dared to push against him, an officer; and seeing it was a child and therefore not satisfactionsfahig, as they say, he merely called him an infame.and ver- flichte Bengel and smacked his face so hard that he would have been knocked down if there had been room to fall in. : : As it was, he was. only hurled violently against the side of a man in a black coat and straw hat who looked like an elderly confidential clerk, so respectable and complete with his short gray beard and spectacles, who was evidently the father, for he instantly on his own account smacked the boy on hig other ear, and sweeping off his hat éntreated the. Herr Lieutenant to forgive the boy on account of his extreme youth. The cousin, whom by now I didn’t like, was begin- ning very severely to adVise the parent jolly well to see to it, or German words to that effect, that his idiotic boy didn’t repeat such insolence, or by hell, etc., etc., when there was such a blast of extra noise and hur- rahing that the rest of his remarks were knocked out of his mouth. It was the Kaiser come out on the balcony of the palace. The cousin became rigid and stood at the salute. The air seemed full of hats and handkerchiefs and de- lirious shrieking. The Kaiser put up his hand. “Majestat is going to speak,” exclaimed the Grafin, her calm fluftered into fragments. There was an immense instantaneous hush, uncanny after all the noise. Only the little boy with the boxed ears continued to call out, but not patriotically. His father, efficient and Prussian, ut a stop to that by seizing his head, buttoning it up inside his black coat and holding his arm tightly over it, so that no strug- gles of suffocation could get it free. There was no more noise, but the little boy’s legs, desperately twitch- ing, kicked their dusty little boots against the cousin’s shins, and he, standing at the salute, with his body rigidly turned towards Majestat, was unable to take the steps his outraged honor, let alone the pain in his shins, called for. I was so much interested in this situation, really absorbed by it, for the little boy unconsciously was getting quite a lot of his own back, his little boots being sturdy and studded with nails, and the father, all eyes and ears for Majestat, not aware of what was happening, that positively I missed the first part of the speech. But what I did hear was immensely im- pressive. I had seen the Kaiser before, you remem- ber; that time he was in London with the Kaiserin, in 1912 or 1913 I think it was, and we were staying with Aunt Angela in Wilton Crescent and we saw him driving one afternoon in a barouche down Birdcage Walk. Do you remember how cross he looked, hardly retirning the salutations he got? We said he and she must have been quarreling, he looked so sulky. And do you remember how ordinary he looked in his top hat and black coat, just like any cross and bored middle-class husband? There was nothing royal about him that day except the liveries on the servants, and they were England’s. Yesterday things were very dif- ferent. He really did look like the royal Prince of a picture book, a real war lord—impressive and glit- tering with orders flashing in the sun. We were near enough to see him perfectly. There wasn’t much crossness or boredom about him this time. He was, I am certain, thoroughly enjoying himself—uncon- sciously, of course, but with that immense thrilled en- joyment all leading figures at leading moments must have: Sir Galahad, humbly glorying in his perfect achievement of negations; Parsifal, engulfed in an ecstasy of’ humble gloating over his own worthiness as he holds up ‘the Grail high above bowed, adoring heads; Beerbohm Tree—I can’t get away from the- ical analogies—coming before the curtain on his most successful first night, meek with happiness. Hasn’t it run through the ages, this great humility at the moment of supreme success, this moved self- depreciation of the man who has pulled it off, the “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us” attitude—quite genuine at the moment, and because quite genuine so extraordinarily moving and impressive? Really, one couldn’t wonder at the people. The Empress was there, and a lot of officers and Princes and people, but it was the Emperor alone that we looked at.. He came and stood by himself in front of the others. He was very grave, with a real look of solemn exaltation. Here was royalty in all its most impressive trappings, a Prince of the fairy tales, splendidly dressed, dilated of nostril, flashing of eyé, the defender of homes, the belief and prayers since each of its members was a baby, become visible and audible ‘to thousands who had never seen him before, who had worshiped him by faith only.” It was as though the people were sud- denly allowed to look upon God. There was a profound awe in the hush. I believe if they hadn't been so tightly packed together they would all have Knelt down. Well, it is easy to stir a mob. One knows how eas- ily one is moved one’s self by the cheapest emotfons, by something that catches one on the sentimental side, on that side of one that through all the years has still stayed clinging to one’s mother’s knee. We've often talked of this, you and I, little mother. You know the sort of thing, and have got that side yourself— even you, you.dear objective one. The three things up to now that have me most on that side, got me on the very raw of it—I’ll tell you now, now that I can’t - see your amused eyes looking at me with that little quizzical questioning in them—the three things that have broken my heart each time I’ve come across them and made me omy want to sob and sob, are when Kurwenal, mortally wounded, crawls blindly to Tris- tan’s side and says, “Schilt mich nicht dass der Treue auch mitkommt,” and Siegfried’s dying “Brunnhild, heilige Braut” and Tannhauser’s dying ‘“Heilige Elisa- beth, bitte fur mich.” All three German things, you see. All morbid things. Most of the sentimentality seems to have come from Germany, an. essentially brutal place. But, of-course, sentimentality is really diluted morbidness, and therefore first cousin to cru- elty. And I have a real and healthy dislike for that Tannhauser opera. 4 a But seeing how the best of us—which is you—have these little hidden swamps of emotionalness, you can imagine the effect of the Kaiser yesterday at such a moment in their lives on a people whose swamps are carefully: Cultivated by their politicians. Even I, re- bellious and hostile to the whole attitude, sure that the real motives beneath all this are base, and constitu- tionally unable to. care about Kaisers, was thrilled. Thrilled by him, I mean. Oh, there was enough to thrill one legitimately and tragically about the poor people, so eager to offer themselves, their souls and bodies, to be an unreasonable sacrifice and satisfaction for the Hohenzollerns. His speech was . wonderfully suited to the occasion. Of course, it would be. If he were not able to prepare it himself, his officials would have seen to it that some properly eloquent persoa did it for him; but Kloster says he speaks really well on cheap, popular lines. All the great reverberating words were in it, the old big words ambitious and greedy rulers have conjured with since time began— God, Duty, Country, Hearth and Home, Wives, Little Ones, God again—lots of God. Perhaps you'll see the speech in the papers. What you won't see is that enormous crowd, struck quiet, struck into religious awe, crying quietly, men and women like little children gathered to the feet of, posi- tively, a Heavenly Father. “Go to your homes,” he said, dismissing them at the end with uplifted hand, “go to your homes, and pray.” And we went. In dead silence. That immense crowd Quietly, like people going out of church; moved, like people coming away from communion. I walked beside Helena, who was crying, with my head very high and my chin in the air, trying not to cry, too, for then they would have been more than ever persuaded that I am a promising little German, but I did desperately want to. I could hardly not cry. These cheated people! Exploited and cheated, led carefully step by step from babyhood to a certain habit of mind necessary to their exploiters, with cer- tain passions carefully developed and encouraged, cer- tain ancient ideas, anachronisms every one of them, kept continually before their eyes—why, if they did win in their murderous attack on nations who have done nothing to them, what are they going to get in- dividually? Just wind; the empty wind of. big words. They’ll be told, and they'll read it in the newspapers, that now they’re great, the mightiest people in the werld, the one best able to crush and grind other na- tions. But not a single happiness really will be added to the private life of a single citizen belonging to the vast class that pays the bill. For the rest of their lives this generation will be poorer and sadder, that’s all. Nobody will give them back the money they have sacrificed, or the ruined businesses, and nobody can give them back their dead sons. There'll be troops of old, miserable women everywhere, who were young (Continued on Page 15.) SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.‘ LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 17, 1918.

The ruins of the Hotel Modelo. Six persons were killed here. HE first complete ac- count of the _ earth- quake which destroyed Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala, ‘the Central American republic adjoining Mex- ico on the south, on Christmas night, last year, has been received by the Post-Dispatch from Earle T. Jones of Carlisle, Ill., a livestock expert con- nected with the industry at the Na- é tional Stock Yards, East St. Louis, and in St. Louis. Mr. Jones, whose business interests frequently take him to Central America, will be remembered by read- ers of the Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine as the author of the story which appeared several weeks ago describ- ing a weird funeral ceremony in that part of the world. The Guatemala City earthquake laid waste a city of 100,000 inhabitants and caused the death of 1100 per- sons, according to the report of a Government physi- cian. Many thousands of persons were injured and the property loss was enormous. In his letter, which was sent from Retalhuleu, Gua- temala, under date of Dec. 31, Mr. Jones declares that on Christmas night the people of Guatemala City, de- spite the fact that they were poorer than usual be- cause of a bad coffee year, were making merry and spending freely of what they had. It was at the clinjax of the merrymaking that the earth began to tremble, and he says: ; . “A party of Americans was seated at a dinner table, and after wishing one another a Merry Christmas had gone to the living room of the hotel. At 10:20 o’clock we felt a smal] tremor and remarked after it had passed that some time one of them would be sufficiently strong to do real damage. But as we had felt many of them during the last few months, little attention was paid to it. “But at 10:25 (when most of the clocks in the city stopped) we realized that a real quake was upon us. We rushed out into the patio, hugging one another in fear. The earth trembled and shook for a period which seemed eternal. The end came, only to be followed by another quake of about the same force. Then we took to the streets, and proceeded with.caution to the first large open area, where we felt free from danger of falling walls. “The shakes continued, seeming to come in. waves. We could hear them approaching for several seconds before they bumped under our feet. “Finally we reached a high point of ground and wit- nessed the destruction of the city. From the moment of the first tremor until late the next day, the unseen force never rested. The earth vibrated in one direc- tion, then the other, then up and down, then with all movements combined into a twisting motion. One felt as though he stood on a bridge over a boiling, seething mass, with huge lumps bumping and pounding up at the bridge In an effort to get free from the tur- moil. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY $7, 1948. Earle T. Jones, live stock’ expert, was in Guatemala City, Guate- mala, on Christmas night last year, when the general merry- making was interrupted by shocks, which continued at intervals until late the next day — Men, women and children huddled in terror in the open places, the cemetery gave up its dead, and virtually every building in the city was ruined — Eleven hun- dred persons killed and many thousands injured “Our helplessness, the barking of dogs (which seemed to foretell, seconds in advance, the arrival of the quakes), the crying of children, the wailing of men and women and the crashing of buildings, all added to the confusion and noise from the rumbling of the earth. The strain was terrible—the reaction worse. ‘‘We were without homes, so we traveled all night, visiting and consoling those we knew: When a quake would come we would rush into the most open place at hand, await the clearing away of the dust and then proceed. “People moved their beds into the streets, midway between the houses. All buildings in the city are set flush with the sidewalks. Injured were cared for. Everywhere were men, women and children wrapped in blankets, sheets or anything they could lay their hands on. They presented a weird sight. “The night was beautiful and clear, with such a full moon as only can be seen in the tropics. This enabled us to see where we were going, and to avoid leaning walls, With the first shake the lights and telephones went out of commission. The water lines were broken in many places and fountains of water spurted in the moonlight. “Almost in front of where we lived a child came into the world in the midst of these catastrophal surround- ings. “With the exception of more modern ones of rein- forced concrete, every building in the town is ruined. The quakes, of which there were many hundred, cracked anc twisted virtually all of the structures in the city. “The losses in the city are estimated at around $100,- 000,000 and it is safe to assume that it never will be rebuilt, because the only money available would be the coffee return, which is only about $1,200,000 a year, and this is needed to operate the Government. : “The principal buildings in ruins are churches, one of which is Del Carmen, one of the oldest in Central America, and built by the Spaniards. The cathedral on the Plaza del Armes, the Postoffice, the peniten- tiary, the American consulate, the Plaza del Toro (bull ring), railroad station and the Imperial Hotel all were wrecked, “Everyone able to leave is going to safer country sites. The cemetery gave up its dead, which must be cared for again. The streets are full of debris of every nature. The sewerage system is destroyed, water is scarce and food is scarcer. “Nearly everyone here seems to agree that until a volcanic eruption takes place the quakes will continue—and then will Pecaya bury the city or will a kindly wind blow the ashes in another di- rection? One thing is certain, Gua- temala is.no longer a home place of the wealthy coffee growers. They now will return to their estates and dwell there. Even if they did not happen to be in debt for the present Bie ick crop, they could not obtain mate- rial to rebuild, for it must all come from the States. “Recent arrivals at Retalhuleu tell us that the shores of Amatitlan (150-year-old crater) are opening up along the railroad right of way, and that not many trains will be able to pass. This is serious for those still unable to get away from the city. “The United Fruit Co., as well as its railroad offi- cials, deserve much credit for the kindness rendered to the sufferers. The Secretary of the American lega- tion, too, deserves mention, as does the President of the country, for aid given to Americans.”’ Guatemala has been the scene of many disasters from earthquakes. Since the settlement of the coun- try in 1522 there have been more than 50 volcanic eruptions and in excess of 3.v earthquakes. The orig- inal Guatemala City was destroyed in 1541 and 8090 inhabitants killed by a deluge of water from a nearby volcano, which was rent by an earthquake. The sec- “ond capital was destroyed by an earthquake in 1773. The houses of the capital destroyed last month were built low to minimize death and injury from falling walls in case of earthquakes. Guatemala is about the same size as the State of Illinois. In this territory are 25 volcanoes, well known to the students of geography. To the south of the capital, within 11 miles, air line, is the noted Pecaya, o which is attributed this latest catastrophe. The people of the country are poor. with the excep- tion of the usual chosen few. The principal returns in the way of tariff and tax are from coffee, which is grown in large quantities on the Pacific high!ands, and which at this time is shipped to the United States. Owing to the European war, there is an overproduction in cof- fee, and the returns are low—perhaps in 90 per cent of the cases below the cost of production. As a result, the people have been living practically from hand to mouth. Christmas called for an expenditure they could not afford, and yet they spent freely. For days preceding the great day the streets were lincd with women selling their wares—hand made and colored with native dyes—simple but beautiful. The returns from their labors wete dispensed for their Christmas celebration. Despite the fact that the people lost their all, and that their homes and employment are gone, they are happy, Mr. Jones declares. When things became as ncrmal as possible under the circumstances, they sang, lafighed and chattered as if nothing had happened. PAGB-THIRTEEN é

6 PIE TIES " _ THE ARMY IN FRANCE YOU NEVER HEARD OF | HERE are two British armies in France. One of them is armed with rifles, bombs and other implements of war, and is engaged in the task of meeting the Ger- mans in combat and at- tempting to drive them back across the Rhine. The other, armed with pickaxes, spades, crowbars and other implements of peace, is employed in quite different fash- ion, far in the rear of the first army. But it is in many respects just as essen- tial in carrying the war to a successful conclusion. Reference is made to what has become known in England as the Army Labor Corps. Virtually nothing has been writ- ten about it, and yet it is there, a vast organization, loyally performing its pro- saic tasks. The men at its head and its members cannot hope to win the Military Crogs; the Distinguished Service Order or/any other award of merit, as can the Kficers and men of the other army up \the front, and on parade they hardly could evoke a cheer, but it has an esprit de corps that has aroused admiration, and when called upon to meet unusual exer- tions and hardships, does it with the same cheerfulness of the Tonimy in the front line. It is a cosmopolitan army, too, com- posed of men from nearly every corner of the globe. There are black men, brown men, yellow men and white men, British laborers, negroes from Africa, Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Fijians, German pris- oners and conscientious objectors. All have been welded into a body of disci- plined, unskilled laborers. “This army is so large,’ recently wrote a British correspondent, ‘that the totals, if they could be given here, would aston- ish most people at home, who have no idea of the vast numbers of this auxil- iary host. Nor, I think, have they any adequate conception of its complexity, nor of the skill, judgment and administrative capacity which have been brought to bear on its organization and control.” At the outset of the war, England was handicapped because of a lack of a re- serve force of second-line enrolled men. Behind the French and Italian fines were elderly warriors of the territorial serv- ices, who fetched and carried and hewed and delved, and made themselves gen- erally useful. But England was forced to call upon the Royal Engineers,.when arti- sans were wanted, and to impress the’ private soldiers for such fatigue work as digging graves or laying a track for a new railroad. This detracted from’ efficiency, for many a stout private who should have been in the first line trench grappling with the foe was to be found many miles in the rear, unloading trucks or stacking lumber. This led to the formation of ‘La- “Webster Groves Has themselves. A payment of 5 cents for de- livery reduces this saving but slightly if several dollars’ worth of goods are bought at a time. Mr. Brennan says his figures are based .upon careful comparisons at various times between prices at his help- yourself store and those charged for like articles at many other stores. A compari- son made by the Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine in a table accompanying this article bears out his claim. Feb. 1, when all prices here quoted were obtained, a 24-pound sack of standard- grade fiour cost $1.50 at Mr. Brennan’s charge-and-deliver store. At the ‘“help- yourself’ grocery it was $1.45. Of course, a payment of 5 cents for delivery would have left no saving. But a bushel of po- tatoes was to be had for $1.90, which cost $2.20 at the credit store, a saving of 25 cents, even after paying for delivery, and it would have been possible to have flour and potatoes and any other purchase de- livered for the same nickel. The help- yourself grocery makes a uniform charge of § cents for each order delivered, wheth- er the amount of the purchase is 5 cents or $50. The delivery of any order, what- PAGE FOURTEEN. bor Battalions,”’ composed of men unfit for general service. It was not, 10Wever, until the close of last year that the whole unskilled labor force was gatnered up and pooled under a single directorate. Among the classes of Englishmen tuo be found in the Army Labor Corps are those above military age or who are, from one cause and another, considered -iunfit for combatant service, and naturalized En- glishmen of alien birth, who are not as a rule welcomed in the fighting ranks. The conscientious objectors form a sec- tion of the army, but they do not, as com- monly supposed in England, . constitute a large part of it. Men physically unfit for the trenches have been drafted into the army of labor, but it occurs frequent- ly that good feeding and hard work out of doors cause them to pick up to such an extent that they are transferred to the fighting ranks. “It is strange,’ the correspondent con- tinues, “to drive for an hour or two along the winding roads, past the quiet vil- lages—quieter thap ever now, for nearly all the men are away—and the red-roofed farmsteads, and to come suddenly upon a scene that carries you half the world away from the clouded northern skies and the channel mists. Perhaps it may be a group of Punjab coolies sitting on their heels around the thin smoke of a wood fire on which the “chupatties” are bak- ing; perhaps a squad of Chinamen in blue or terra cotta blouses and flat hats, haul- ing logs or loading trucks, always with that inscrutable smile of the Far East upon their smooth, yellow faces; perhaps a party of sturdy negroes or Kaffirs, sing- ing and chattering as they march back from their work for the midday rest and meal; perhaps some squat and swarthy Nagas, with their long black hair bunched fantastically above their bullet heads, gazing in childlike wonderment at a train of great army lorries grinding by, or shrinking to the roadside as a Red Cross motor car whirls swiftly past, driven by an English girl in khaki.” With such a polyglot population in the villages and on the farms of Northern France, the question of discipline natural- ly arises. With respect to the black men, they are kept under strict control. They are not allowed to range freely among the Flemish villages and liquor shops, and the pass system is rigidly enforced. The men as a rule are too tired after a hard day’s work to wander abroad, and pass the evenings in their billets, cooking their rations, mending their clothes and sing- ing their songs. .The Chinese, too, are kept under ward when they are not work- ing. If rightly managed they give little trouble, and although they gamble a great deal, are not prone to drink or commit crimes of violence. , Every member of the Labor Corps, be he an Englishman from the slums, a black man from Africa or a native of an Indian jungle, must conform to the standards of the British army with respect to sanita- tion and cleanliness. The huts tenanted by them are as tidy as those of an in- fantry battalion, and their kit and cloth- ing as neatly stowed and rolled. The Chinese and other colored units of the Labor Corps and the German pris- oners are never sent into the danger zone, but the British labor companies occasion- ally work actually under fire and poten- tially under gas. An enormous amount of labor has to be done in preparing for a great battle on the western front, the dumping of incredible masses of shells at the artillery stations and the piling up of material for repairing roads and building light railways, so that the guns can be pushed on as rapidly as possible after the infantry. In this service the labor com- panies are: said to have become indis- pensable auxiliaries to the Army Service Corps and the mobile transport columns. Occasionally one may see labor platoons, equipped with helmets and gas masks, re- making roads and filling in craters on a strip of country which a few days earlier was in German hands. Much of the work of repairing reserve and communication trenches and keeping dugouts and ma- chine-gun positions in order also is done by the Army Labor Corps. As far as circumstances permit, every man in the corps is given one day’s rest in seven. But the exigencies of war oc- casionally demand that he lose his day of rest and work late in the evening or far into the night. It is declared that when this contingency arises it is met with universal cheerfulness, especially when it is being done to help the fight- ing units. One of the greatest difficulties which England encountered in organizing the Army of Labor was in obtaining a suffi- cient number of officers qualified to com- mand the units. They had to be men who would turn out with the working gangs in the early morning, be with them, rain or shine, all day, keep a keen eye on slackers and shirkers, and be responsible for the health and well-being of those under them. But they were obtained, and have quietly succeeded in building up a wonderfully successful organization. Some of them are former officers of the fight- ing units, incapacitated for further active service by wounds or disease, but the ma- jority were drawn from civilian life. There are engineers, lawyers, land agents, In- dian civil servants, South African plant- ers and land owners, Chinese merchants, educators and politicians. is a member of Parliament, another has held office in the British Ministry, and |. a third is a former Governor of an In- dian presidency.

Potatoes were $2.40, cash and carry, and $2.65 delivered. Differences in favor of Webster Groves were found as to some of the other foods whose prices are being regulated in St. Louis, indicating, apparently, that the prices fixed by~ the St. Louis Committee of the United States Food Administra- tion have been liberal. On many other items St. Louis prices compare f&#vorably with those at the Brennan charge-and- deliver store. However, the St. Louis stores make no reduction to the customer who pays cash and carries away the goods he buys, except on those articles whose prices are regulated and for which two prices have been set by the Food Com- mittee. Brennan, in his cash-and-carry, or help-yourself, store, sells everything at a lower price than in his charge-and-de- liver place, except sugar, on which the Government has fixed a very narrow mar- gin of profit. Four cents a pound on Mocha and Java toffee is saved at the help-yourself store. | A considerable discrepancy between Webster Groves and St. Louis was found in the prices for bacon and smoked ham, the only kind of meats handled at the help-yourself store. Bacon selling there at 42 cents a pound and the Brennan charge- and-deliver store at 50 cents, was quoted in St. Louis at 55 cents, either cash-and- carry or charge-and-deliver. On ham the relation of prices was 32 cents, 35 eents and 45 cents. Tobacco AB in S&S days, ‘mprove “avoid stomach troubile, your nervousness, foul breath, heart disease.

The members of the Army Labor Corps are earning the gratitude of France by engaging in rehabilitation work. They are remaking broken roads, rebuilding fences and boundary walls, unearthing almost obliterated villages and clearing masses of debris from the scarred fields and wrecked towns. So that, when the French embark after the war on the re- construction of the devastated country they will find much of the pioneer work already done for them. A considerable proportion of the Ger- man prisoners captured by the British have been impressed into the Army La- bor Corps. This saves the expense >f con- veying them to Great Britain and of pro- viding for them there. They are housed in commodious wooden huts, warmed and lighted, and their rations are sufficient in quantity and of the best quality. In dealing with the German prisoners, the British commanders of tae companies issue their orders through the German under officers, and the discipline is said to be maintained with Prussian rigor. They are paid a small wage, which goes to provide them with extra comforts at the canteen. “Cure Your Rupture Like | Cured Mine” Old Sea Captain Cured His Own Rupture After Doctors Said ‘‘Operate or Death.’’ His Remedy and Book Sent ‘Free.

4 you’d think he’d be pouring out streams of all the things that most need saying’—— And she shrugged her shoulders and merely re- peated: “One is not as usual.” : So I came away, greatly puzzled. I had expected bread, and here I was going off with nothing but an unaccountable stone. Kloster and Bernd are the two solitary sane and wise people I know here in this place of fever, the two I trust, to whom I say what I really think and feel, and I went to Kloster yesterday athirst for wisdom, for that detached, critical picking out one by one of the feathers of the imperial bird, the Prussian eagle, that I find so wholesome, so bal- ance-restoring, so comforting, in what is now a very great isolation of spirit. And he was dumb. I tan't get over it. I’ve not seen Bernd since, as he is frightfully busy and wasn’t able to come yesterday at all, but he’s com- ing to lunch today, and perhaps he’ll be able to explain Kloster. I’ve been practicing all the morning—it will seem to you an odd thing to have done while Rome is burning, but I did it savagely, with a feeling of fling- ing defiance at this topsy-turvy world, of slitting its ugliness in spite of itself with bright spears of music, insisting on intruding loveliness on its preoccupation, the loveliness created by its own brains in the days before Prussia got the upper hand. All the morning I practiced the Beethoven violin concerto, and the naked, slender radiance of it without the orchestra to muffle it up in a background, enchanted me into forgetting. The crowds down there are soberer since Friday, and ] didn’t have to-go into the bathroom to play. Now that war is upon them the women seem to have started thinking a little what it may really mean, and the men aren’t quite so ready incoherently to roar. They keep on going to church—the churches have been having services at unaccustomed moments throughout yes- terday, of-course by order, and are going on like that today, too, for the churches are very valuable to Authority in nursing the necessary emotions in the people at a time like this. The people were told by the Kaiser to pray, and so they do pray. It is useful to have them praying, it quiets them and gets them out of the streets and helps the authorities. Berlin is really the most godless place. Religion is the last thing anybody thinks of. Nobody dreams of going to . (Continued from Page 12.), church unless there is going to be special music there or a Prince, and as for the country, my two Sundays there might have been weekdays except for the extra — food. It is.true on*each of them I saw a pastor, but each time he came to the family I was with, they didn't go to him, to his church. Now there's suddenly this immense recollection of God, turned on by Authority just as one turns on an eleetric light switch and says, “Let there be light,” and there is light. So I picture the Kaiser, running his finger down his list of avail- able assets and coming to God. Then he rings for an official, and says, “‘Let there be God,” and there is God. I’m not really being profane. It isn’t really God _at all I’m talking about. It’s what German Authority finds convenient to turn on and off, according as it suits what it wishes to obtain. It isn’t God. It’s just a tap. (Copyright. 1917, by the Macmillan Co.) (To Be Concluded in Next Sunday's Post-Dispatch Magazine.) How Do the Germans Get Their ‘‘Smokes’’? NNOUNCEMENT that Holland had raised its A export prohibition on tobacco caused some hopes in German tobacco circles that the present scarcity would soon come to an end. These hopes hav¢ now been destroyed, however, for the free importation of tobacco is not yet in sight. All.imports of this product have to take place through the Taba handels- gesellschaft at Bremen, or by virtue of licenses issued by this concern; and the distribution of imported to- bacco is effected under its supervision. Only the most necessary amounts are imported in order to avoid, as far as possible, an unfavorable influence on the Ger-. man rate of exchange. Thus the imported amounts have little relation to those which were received be- for the war commenced. Most of the factories are permitted to have about two-thirds of their pre-war consumption. From the output of these plants, which is considerably reduced, 75 per cent is taken for army use, leaving a very small amount for distribution to the civil population. There is little present prospect of remedying the situation, which is admittedly rather serious, according to a recent article in Beilage zur Germania. — a ee ee ——_— ne rn me ene oan ~ ——— - ocnmenre en 1,0: I ene--Lrve ten. But things have changed. Between us and rev- olution there stand only the frail life*of a boy and an army none too large, and already, perhaps, affected. There is much discontent, and the offspring of dis- content is anarchy.” | . The King snaried. But Mettlich had taken his courage in his hands, and went on. Their neighbor ahd hereditary foe was Karnia. Oould they any longer afford the enmity of Karnia’ One cause of discontent was the expense of the army, and of the fortifications along the Karnian border. If Karnia were allied with them, there would be no need of s0 great an army. They had the mineral wealth, ‘and Karnia the seaports. The old dream of the empire, of a railway to the sea, would be realized. He pleaded well. The idea was not new. To place the littl King Otto IX on the throne and keep him there in the face of opposition would require support from outside. Karnia would furnish this support. For a price. The price was the Princess Hedwig. Outside, Nikky Larisch rose, stretched, and fell to pacing the floor. It was 1 o’clock, and the palace slept. He lighted a cigarette, and, stepping out into a small balcony which overlooked the square, faced the quiet night. “That is my plea, sire,” Mettlich finished. ‘Karl of Karnia is anxious to marry, and looks this way. To allay discontent and growing insurrection, to in- sure the boy’s safety and his throne, to beat our swords into plowshares’’—here he caught the King’s scowl and udded—‘“‘to a certain extent, and to make us a com- mercial as well as a military nation, surely, sire, it gains much for us, and loses us nothing.” “But our independence!” said the King sourly. However, he did not dismiss the idea. The fright of the afternoon had weakened him, and if Mettlich were right—he had what the King considered a per- fectly damnable habit of being right—the Royalist party would need outside help to maintain the throne. “Karnia!"’ he said. “The lion and the lamb, with “the lamb inside the lion!..And in the meantime the boy” —— “He should be watched always.” “The old she-dragon, the governess—I suppose she is trustworthy?” “Perfectly. But she is a woman.” “He has Lussin.”’ Count Lussin was the Crown Prince’s aid-de-camp. SUNDAY MAGAZINE -ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- -FEBRUARY 17, 191.3. PAGE FIFTEEN a - atid oe King! “He needs a man, sire,” observed the Chancellor rather tartly. The King cleared his throat. “This youngster he is so fond of, young Larisch, would he please you better?” he asked with ironic deference. “A geod boy, sire. You may recall that his mother’—— He stopped. | Perhaps the old King’s memory was good. Per- haps there was a change in Mettlich’s voice. “A good boy?” “None better, sire. He is devoted to his royal high- ness. He is still much of a lad himself. I have listened to them talking. It is a question which is the older! He is outside now.” ‘ “Bring him in. I'll have a look at him.” Nikky, summoned by a chamberlain, stopped in- side the doorway and bowed deeply. “Come here,” said the King. He advanced. “How old are you?” ‘Twenty-three, sire.” “In the Grenadiers, I believe.” Nikky bowed. ‘“‘Like horses?’ said the King suddenly. “Very much, sire.”’ “And boys?” ‘“I—some boys, sire.” (Continued from | Page f 1.) mies -nor their subjects. I want,” he said, his tone losing its bitterness, “a real friend for the little Crown Prince. One who is both brave and loyal.” Afterward, in his small room, Nikky composed a neat, well-rounded speech, in which he expressed his loyalty, gratitude and undying devotion to the Crown Prince. It was an elegant little speech. Unluckily, the occasion for it had gone by two hours. “I—I am grateful, sire,” was what he said. “I’’—— And there he stopped and choked up. It was rather ‘dreadful. “J depend on you, Capt. Larisch,” said the King, gravely, and nodded his head in a gesture of dismis- sal. Nikky backed toward the door, struck a hassock, all bat went down, bowed again at the door, and fled, “A Tine tad,” said Gen.
