GERMAN HANGARS UNDERGROUND Built as Protection Agains British Bombing Raids. AMSTERDAM, Feb. 20 (By A. P.). —The German army is constructing underground hangars for its air- planes as. protection against English bombing raids, says the Echo Belge. At one of the principal Belgian aero- dromes, hangars of this type capable of housing 12 machines have already been completed by the use of war prisoners labor. The hangars are of great depth and are protected overhead by a thick roof of concrete and earth. The machines are underground and emerge by a long runway = in full flight. In returning they alight on the inclined plane, down which the machines run easily to their shelters. CARROTS WHERE TULIPS GREW Datch Give Up Bulb - Growing for Vegetable Raising. LEYDON, Netherlands, I"eb.,20 (By A. P.).— No longer will the famous road to Haarlem present an uninter- rupted visit of flowering bulbs when spring comes. The bulb business, which has been seriously hit by the war, offers such poor prospects that many growers have partly aband- oned bulb planting and taken to vegetable raising instead. Extensive vegetable drying sheds have arisen alongside the canals where in pre- vious years banks of multi-colored tulips and hyacinths delighted the eye.

Feb. 20. —The actual value basis for tax as- sessments, recommended by _ the State Tax Commission and adopted by. the assessors in their returns covering 90 per cent of the real prop- erty in the State, does not meet with the approval of some members o! the State Board of Equalization, it has been learned, and is likely to be:repudiated by the Board When it meets here Feb 27. The Tax Commission, which was created by the last Legislature and has only, advisory functions,.recom- mended the actual value assessments and assisted in determining the values only after Gov. Gardner had promised to call a special session of the Legislature to reduce the State tax levy to such a degree that under the new system the total property tax would be'no higher than at pres- ent. In view of this arrangement it was conceded tha@the initial advan- tage that would result from the new | basis. would be uniformity through- out the State. The Tax Commission will recommend increased assess- ments in these counties which have not adopted this actual value basis. Board Has Sole Power. The State Constitution. gives the Board of Equalization sole power to raise or lower assessments as report- 4 Commission has been co-operating with local Assessors wherever the latter were willing, and in some cases has recommended inereéases over the assessments returned by the Asses- sors. This work will be effective only if approved by thé State Board of Equalization. The Board of Equalization is com- posed of Gov. Gardner, Attorney- General McAllister, Secretary of State Sullivan, Auditor Hackman and Treasurer Middlekamp. The at- titude of some of these members un- doubtedly will be fnfluenced by their, political status and ambitions. Gov. Gardner, of course, is the champion of the actual value plan, having recommended it and urged the creation of the Tax Commission to put it Into effect. Auditor Hack- man declares that he will support the new tax laws. McAllister Leads Opposition. Attorney-General McAllister is conceded to be the leader of opposi- tion to the.tax reform. He declined to say definitely, however, what po- sition he would take on the increases recommended by the Tax Commis- sion. “I cannot answer that question,”’ he said, “until I know what are the valuations by counties and classes of property. If the State Tax Commis- sion has confined its activities this tear to the discovery of intangible wealth which heretofore has escaped taxation, as was suggested to it by the State Board of Equalization last spring, then I will be prepared to ratify its work.” It is well known that the Tax Commission has not confined itsel? to the discovery of intangible wealth, as its principal work has been the determination of the ac- tual value of real estate. Great Diversity Pointed Out. * | McAllister questioned the work of | some Assessors, stating that there | appeared to be great diversity in the | assessments as returned by them to! the Tax Commission. “The Assessors seen to have used a pencil and paper in making these assessments,’ he said. McAllister is understood to be a candidate to succeed.Senator Stone. He also has been mentionedias a can- didate for Governor. He denied that his failure to support tax reform was an effort to take advantage of Gov. Gardner's championship of the new tax plan. His home is in Monroe County, which was listed: by Chair- man Roach of the Tax Commission in respect to returns for assessment. Although other ,counties increased their assessments by 200 to $00 per cent, Monroe County increased its only from $9,342,551 to $9,924,386 Middickamp Non-Committal. Treasurer Middlekamp always has voted -with McAllister on important questions before the Board of Equal- ization. He declined to say whether he would support the Tax Commis- sion’s recommendations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (By A. P.).—Secretary Baker authorized the statement today that no date had been selected for the beginning of the second draft. Various esti- mates have placed the time between March 1 and June 1. The Govern- ment’s disposition not to disturb the labor situation, particularly on farms at the planting season, is one of the factors entering into the sit- uation. The Provost Marshal-General’s of- fice, it is understood, is disinclined to go ahead with the second draft until Congress has perfected the law by pending amendments to chagne the basis of apportionment and _ to authorize the President to call into the military service men skilled in industry and agriculture regardless of previous classification.

They were accompanied to the sta- tion by a band and two companies of naval scouts. The recruiting office expects to continue to send recruits in groups of 150 daily for the next week. %\ al | NNIVERSARY OF ~ VERDUN FINDS FRANCE READY Armies of Republic Much Strong- | er Than on Feb. 21, 1916, Especially in Big Guns. / BATTLE MAY BE LONG ONE —— 'Germany’s Disappointing Attack on Meuse Proved First Success May Be Unimportant. By PAUL SCOTT MOWRER, A Spécial Correspondent of the Post- . Dispatch. ‘WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Feb. 20.—Tomorrow, Feb. 21, marks one of the great anniversaries of the war. On this date exactly two years ago the Germans began their great attack on Verdun and ‘during five anxious months the stubborn splen- dor of France’s heroic defense made the world marvel. Then in July be- gan the Franco-British attack on the Somme and the initiative passed out of the hands of the enemy. Verdun was the German’s iast great offensive effort on the western front. It cost the Kaiser hundreds of thousands: of men and, after arousing the wildest’ hopes in / the hearts of the German people, it re- mains for them the bitterest disap- pointment of the war. Now once more there is talk of a possible Ger- man offensive. After two difficult years the eyes of the German Gen- erals are again turned questioningly toward France in trying’ to see whether military success here is pos- sible. Personally I am certain that success on any large scale is impos- sible, as the allies are now far strong- er than they were two years ago. Battle May Last Long Time. At the same time, the battle, once begun, may last a long ‘while. A modern battle between adversaries intrenched in lines which do not per- mit flank movements is a battle of exhaustion. Its full consequences cannot immediately be perceived. The battle of the Somme lasted six months and would probably have been renewed after the winter lull but for the German retreat. The German attack on Verdun, be- gun Feb. 21, 1918, lasted séven months and stopped only b4écause the Germans were obliged to tfans- port most of their reserves and guns to the Somme to resist the allies. The battle of the Aisne, begun in April 1917, continued until Octeber. It ended with the taking by the French of the Malmaison Plateau, which obliged the Germans, about a month later, Dames and retreat across the Allette River. The German offensive at Verdun was followed by a French counter of- fensive, which began in August, 1916, and’ continued intermittently throughout the following year, espe- cially in the great victorious attacks of Oct. 24 and Dec. 15, 1916, and Aug. 20, 1917. It is thus apparent that it is difficult to foresee what turn a battle may take, even if che enemy wins initial successes. Given modern conditjons it is al- ways possible that the first position may fall into the hands of a deter- mined adversary, however strong the defense. But after the first success, the depth of which is more or less fmited by the range of the guns en- gaged, the assailant if he desires to continue must advance his artillery and reinforce or replace the worn infantry. There ensues a lull in the operations, during which the defend- ers can bring up reserves, reinforce his own guns and make counter at- tacks. The assailant, having reorgan- ize@ his lines, must begin all over again under less favorable and pe- culiarly difficult conditions. Each new defensive position requires a new battle with vast supplies of shells and large numbers of fresh reserves. Early Advance Unimportant. Thus the success of the first days may be without significance The Germans at Verdun within three days advanced six kilomecers (3.6 miles) on a 15-kilometer (nine-mile) front. Then they took four months and lost thousands of men in ad- vancing two kilometers (1.2 miles), and since then they have. been_los- ing ground. ‘The Italian army last fall had a hard time, but the Aus- tro-German invasion was stopped along the Piave. From “these ex- @mples the conditfons of the next great battle may be supposed with the difference, however, that France is much stronger now than in 1916, especially in heavy artillery. The English army has become equally formidable within the last two years. The French victories of the last year and al half have convinced the French soldiers of their superiority over the Germans. . These same vic- tories having given the high ground all along the front to the allies, leave the Germans in an unfavorable po- sition for beginning a new offenstve. It is therefore with absolute equa- nimity that France salutes the re- turn of the Verdun anniversary. (Copyright, 1918, by the Chicago Daily News.) $1220 Worth of Shoes Stolen.

FEDERAL PURCHASE OF MAL TUBES FAVORED Congressional Committee to Recommend That Systems Here and in Other Cities Be Bought. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (By A. P.).—Purchase by the Government, for dbout $4,000,000, of the leased pneumatic mail tubs systems in St. Louis, New York, Brooklyn, Phila- delphia, Boston.and Chicago, will be recommended by the joint congres- sional committee which has com- pleted an investigation and is pre- paring its report, it was announced today. The report of the committee ,de- clares the leasing and private opera- tion system defective. The Interstate Commerce Commission would fix a price not in excess of $4,432,000, de- clared to be the rplacment value. An amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill to provide for the purchase will be added by the Sen- ate Committee. Business Organizations Here. Favor Purchase of Tubes. At hearings held here recently on the question of pneumatic tube mai! service, business organizations have | favored the.purchase of the tubes now in use. Postmaster Selph has taken the position that the Govern- ment should not rent the tubes, but should buy them or supplant the tube service with automobile trucks. The present tubes extend from the Postoffice, Eigiteenth street and Clark avenue, to the Bridge Station, Third street and Washington ave- nue; to the Central Station, at Ninth and Olive streets, and from the lat- ter station to the bridge. The‘ total length is nearly two miles. The Government has paid the American Service Co. a rental of nearly $34,00% a year for the tubes. The purchase price fixed by engineers is $147,912 of which $12,213 represents intan- gible values. JUROR IDENTIFIES MAN HE SAW . IN COURT AS A HIGHWAYMAN A. B. Hoffman Accuses Released Suspect of Attempt.to Rob Him Last November. The arrest today of Edward Curry of 5622 St. Joseph street disclosed that Adolph B. Hoffman of 1502 St. Louis avenue, while serving as a ju- ror in Judge Falhenhainer’s court last Monday, saw Curry in the court- room and pointed him out as the man who wayla@id and attempted to rob him at Grand and St. Louis ave- nuem the night of Nov? 3. Hoffman was one of a jury panel being examined when Curry was taken into the courtroom to be ar- raigned on a charge of carryihg con- cealed weapons. He told the other jurrors he recognized Curry as the highwayman, but they advised him not to interrupt the court /proceed- ings. Curry, after pleading not guilty, was released on bond. Yesterday Hoffman, having fin- ished his jury service, went to police headquarters and identified a Ber- tillon gallery picture of Curry, whose arrest was then ordered. Hoffman said he had a‘ good view of the high- wayman, as the attempt to “strong- arm” him was made near.a street lamp and he fought with his assail- ant, who fired two shots at him. One ot the bullets clipped a piece off the bottom of Hoffman's vest. He was wearing this vest when he saw Curry in the courtroom. Curry on Nov. 4, 191%, was sent to the Missouri penitentiary for two years on a burglary charge. He also fas served time in the workhotse. He denies he was Hoffman's assail- ant.

Attorneys Thomas M. Pierce and Charles A. Houts, at the = special meoting of.the Board of Public Serv- ice yesterday,-reiterated the argu- ments in President McCulloch's statement. Pierce said that every addition of 5 cents an hour to the present wages of the company’s mo- tormen and.conductors meant an in- crease of $710,000 in the annual payroll, The demand for a general increase of 10 cents an hour, he said, would add $1,420,000 te the present operating expenses. As a partial offset to this heavy demand on its revenues, Pierce con- tended, the city should reduce the URIC ACID IY MEAT BRINGS RHEUMATISM Says a little Salts in water may save you from dread attack.

On the basis of the com- pany’s gross revenues in 1916, a tax of 3 per cent would yield $375,600 a year. The reduction of the tax to 2 per cent ‘would save the company about $125,000 a year. The tax on the company’s gross revenues contemplated in the bill is a substitute for the mill tax and franchise taxes now paid by the company. The aggregate of these is now about $460,000 a year. Time for Reorganization. Attorney Pierce also suggested to members of the Board of Public Service that the bill be amendéd to permit a longer period than nine months for the reorganization of the company on the basis of $60,000,009 capitalization and for its financial re- adjustment. It would be necessary for the company to float a large bond issue, Pierce contended, to per- fect the reorganization, and this could not be done during the war. It would be both unpatriotic and impracticable, Pierce said, to under- take to market a large bond issue ‘while the Government was secking to dispose of its securities. He cited the fact that Secretary of the Treas3- ury McAdoo had requested that no large bond issues in behalf of pri- vate enterprise bé floated during the war. a eo" | President Kinsey of the Board of Public Service told a Post-Dispatch reporter, after the executive meeting, that ‘‘the members had listened to Mr. Pierce, but-had not indicated What would be done, if anything.” The board wil consider the prob- lem of taxation along with the other _provisions of the bill, Kinsey said. The “compromise” bill is before the Board of Public Service for its report and recommendations, which will bé submitted to the Board of Aldermen when the study of its pro- visions is finished. The Board of Public Service. has no authority to change the . bill] .and the Board of Aldermen is not obliged to accept the recommendations made by it. Houts, who appeared yesterday as an attorney for the United Railways, was attorney for the Laclede Gas Light Co. in July, 1916, when the so- called “gentlemen's agreement” be- tween Mayor Kiel and the company permitted the latter to lower heating units in gas. He formerly was United States District Attorney here. MOLDER APPARENTLY KILLED IN THE STREET BY AN AUTO Found Dead Near Home on Manches- ter Arenue; Kindling He Carried Seattered in Strect. George W.

Machine guns and rifles went into action from another trench section and the enemy retired on the run. There were no casualti¢s among the Americans. | 3 ' The American artillery broke many shells over the heads of an oc- cupied German trench yesterday, scattering the soldiers.

DISPLEASED AT WAR ON RUSSIA Press Comment Indicates Lack of Public Sanction for New Hostilities. IN. AUSTRIA Some Papers Contend Nation Should Decline to Join in a New Offensive. gene “ONDON, Feb. 20 (By A. P.).— Germahy’s new war against Russia apparently is not popular with the German or Austrian people, accord- ing to comment in the press of the two countries. When the Brest-Litovsk negotis- tions -closed, all talk in Germany was of peace. The school children were given a holiday and joy bells were rung. The public apparently did not discriminate between peace with the Ukraine and with Great Russia, but acclaimed it as a general Peace with Russia. Georg Bernhard in the Vossisch2 Zeitung emphasizes this point and wants an explanation of who was responsible for this disappointment. Must Stick to Own Defense. The Socialist Vorwaerts takes the same line and says: “The more we meddle in Russian affairs the more we get away from peace. What must be done isto stick to the defense of our own soil and to make peac:; wherever possible without annexa- tion or forcible amputations.”’ A large section of opinion in Aus- tria-Hungary also is alarmed over the prospect of a renewal of war with Fiussia. Dispatches from Amsterdam and Zurich quote Austro-Hungarian n..sspapers to this effect and Vienna dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung reports a rising of feeling against Germany on account of her action against Russia. The Neue Freie Presse and the Reichspost argue that as Austria- Hungary no longer has any enemies on the Eastern frontiers, she is not called to interfere in Russian inter- | Four Out of First Ten at Minneapo- nal affairs. ‘The Arbeiter Zeitung, Vienna’s leading Socialist newspaper, insists emphatically that TEVTON PEOPLE | | Austria-| DEFERRED DRAFT FOR RAILWAY - MEN IS UNDER CONSIDERATION | Subject of Classification Taken Up | by Government, It Has Been Lea ‘ WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (By A. P.).—Deferred draft classification for road employes is under consider- ation between the War Department and the railroad administration, it became known today. | The War Department objects to giving special consideration to rail- way employes as a class, insisting that the case of each man should be ‘considered individually as to wheth- er he is indispensable. This policy does not satisfy the Railroad Administration, which con- tends that few railroad men are actually indispensable and that. un- less some uniform action is pre- scribed, local exemption boards may be inclined to refuse deferred. classi- fication to thousands of necessary employes who have no dependents. Nearly 500,000 railroad, men are within the draft age. Byt the actual number which would bé affected by such a ruling is estimated at less than 200,000. LOW POINT IN SHIPPING AVAILABLE T0 ALLIES PASSED Stea]- rlier Tonnage Expected to Incre fly From Now on; Change E Than Was Expected. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (By A. P.).—The low point of available al- lied shipping has been passed, two or three weeks earlier than officials ex- pected, and confidence was expressed today that the amount of shipping available for the future would in- crease steadily. Several factors were said to have contributed to advancing the amount of available tonnage. Included among them were the increased ef- ficiency of the offensive against sub- marines and the beginning of deliv- eries from American shipyards. Transfer of neutral shipping to trade outside the war zone, thereby reléas- ing allied tonnage for transatlantic service, also contributed to the: in- crease of available bottoms. Im- provement in harbor defenses and facilities in France likewise tended to speed up the release of ships, which are enabled to make trips a | more frequently than usual. If production continues unham- pered by labor troubles and if anti- submarine operations continue to give the results expected, the amount of tonnage is expected to show steady gains as the year progresses.

With It---"‘Heel and Toe” Battalions Doing Good Work. | By THOMAS MARVIN JOHNSON, _A Special Correspondent of the Post- _ Dispatch, (Copyright, 1918.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Jan. 20.-—Napoleon said that an army tfavels on its stomach, but that was a metaphor. Still the question may be argued: whether in this war an army travels on its feet. Certain it is that there is much less marching and much more standing afound than was dreamed of in the military philoso- phy of 10 years ago. Careful study of the care of sdl- diers’ feet is no new thing in the American army, but now the army must approach the questi6n from a different angle. Heretofore the question was how to keep the men’s feet in sufficiently good condition to stand a lot of hiking; now the prob- lem is how to do the same thing with feet that must do a lot of standing. Trench warfare was-beyond our ken and one does not hike in trenches; one stands in them. The army here is approaching the question with two aims in view. The first is to insure that when men go into the trenches their feet shall be in as good condition as posable. The second is to be certain that when they get there their feet shall re-. main in as good condition as pos- sible. “Heel and Toe Battalions.” The first aim has been attained by the organization of what are called “orthopedic battaliéns,” which have been already facetiously christened “heel and toe” battalions. There is one of these battalions to every di- vision, each in command of a Major, who has had some expérience with the physical training of men and who has the advice of a foot specialist. The battalions are composed of all the men in the division who may con- tract foot troubles of a@ nature not serious enough to disqualify them for further military Service. Men with flat feet, fallen archés, ingrowing toenails, bunions, bad corns or other minor ailments find there the proper care and treatment; but most important of all, their in- struction in the art of fighting Ger: mans .goes on unimpeded. Take, for instance, the sethobetie battalion in a certain National Guard civision. It is commanded by an of- ficer of the New, York National Guard who is an athlete not unknown to the sporting pages and who as a one-time cavalry officer knows many tricks of the gymnasium. When he organized his orthopedic battalion the first thing he did was td give a little talk to his men. “There is nothing really the mat- ter with your feet,” he‘said. “Proper |- care will fix them up all right, and then you can go ahead and fight with |. the best of ’em. Nobody is going to be invalided home or put on kitchen police. You're going to have your feet fixed up and be taught how to fight at the same time.” The first day was devoted to a thorough inspection of the men’s shoes, as a result of which a good many received new shoes of size and width better suited to their feet.. All received also plenty of new socks which were of the proper size. Then they were set to work. Practice Wriggling Their Toes. Bright and early every morning the orthopedic battalion went through almost an hour’s drill of a character surely remarkable for fighting men. They stood first on their toes, then on their heels; they bent over and touched the ground without bending their knees, they bent their knees without touching the ground; then they lay on their backs and wriggled their toes, all to the “One, two, three, four’ of the — —4 Ses 2ikk STREET Battery service FACTORY BRANCH FREE INSPECTION OF ALL MAKES OLIVE, 3186 . the first inspection of shoes and socks Major.

After atively rare occurrence. “ons as do > appear will be treated tn cial wards in the field } if necessary, evacuated to the | hospitals. for gdenneeg the orthopedic experts who r the Major inspected breeches and leggings and found ‘that some men wore them so tight as to impede cir- } culation. That, too, was rectified. The chiropodist was called in to operate on corns and ingrowing toenails. Many @ man who believed himself crippled has been cured. Se much for the work before the men go into the trenches, Once they get into the trenches the greatest care must be exercised to guard against trench foot. A good deal has been written and said about that malady, which got a specific name only in this war. It is exceedingly painful, and until they learned how to deal with it the Allies lost many a good soldier through it. It is sel- dom fatal, but frequently puts a man out of the war for good and all. The causes of trench foot are vari- ous. A general order recently issued on the subjéct gives some of them as follows: Insufficient nourishment, perticularly lack of hot food, lack. of sleep and general discomfort incident to service in the ¢renches, insufficlext changes of footwear, poor circulation caused by tight shoes or clothing, and especially, long standing or sit- ting in mud or water, without exer- cise, particularly when abner with exposure to cold. Trench Foot Preventives. To reduce to a minimum the oc- currence of trench foot, officers com- manding companies, battalions or regiments are made. responsible for the observance of every preventive measure. They are to see that the men have plenty of dry, clean, well- fitting socks, and at least one extra pair of shoes or boots dry and in good condition. Drying chambers must be provided in dugouts or else- where where wet garments may be dried and warmed the moment the men take them off, and rubber boots} or oversho¢és may not be worn longér than a few hours at a time. Officers are also directed to assign men to duty in mud and water as little as possible; no light task in the trenches. i As for the men, they must report all foot ailments immediately, fn or- structed the police to couthies i tering enemy aliens until further’ n tice.

The public and their own professions had the utmost confi- dence in the men, he said. Asquith added that the country~had noted that both retirements were preceded by a hostile press campaign.

There was a little altercation be- tween the two Premiers over the question of Gen. Robertson’s failure to approve the Versailles plan. Finally Asquith said he did not quarrel in the least with the decisions of the Versailles council in respect to its functions. He took the view that the question at issue was a domestic matter and supported ‘the view that the military representative at Ver- sailles should be a representative of the chief of the genéral staff. It was felt, however, Lioyd George said tn his speech, that the néw exec- utive body at Versailles must know not only about their own armies and their own fronts, but also about al) conditions on all fronts and in all armies and in all nations. Versailles had become the repository of irnfor- mation of all fronts, all armies, all r.tionalities, all staffs and all for- men offices and that information was being co-ordinated by very able staffs. It constituted information which no single war office possessed. Haig Ready to Accept Plan. The Premier declared he was anx- ious that the Versailles afrangements be worked on whole-heartedly by the military authorities here and in France. He had had a talk with Field Marshal Haig, who said he was prepared to work under them. The arrangements were that the British permanent military adviser at the Versailles Council should be- come a member of the army council, that he should be in constant com- munication with the chief of the Im- perial General Staff and that he should be absolutely free and unfet- tered in the advices he gives as a member ef a board of military rep- resentatives at Versailles. He was to have the powers necessary to én- eble him td’ fulfill the duties imposed upon him by recént -Vérsailles de- cisions. “The Americans were in favor of a proposal by which the central body should be a councii of the Chiefs of Staffs,”’ said Lloyd George. ‘‘The casé@ put forward for it was tha® it was esséntial that each of the repre- sentatives should be In most intimate touch with his own Wer Office; hé must know about ma” power, moral and médical equipments, shipping and Foreign Office matters.” Plan Was Rejected. It also was felt that there wére serious constitutional objections to an inter-allied body coming to a de- cision affecting the British army. The council fully examined and dis- cussed this proposal, and, he added, it must be remembered that all of the Various representatives, civil and military were there, with the excep- tion of the Italian Commander in Chief. On examination the proposal completely broke down as unwork- able. One.of the reasons for the contin- uous sessions at Versailles was not merely because they had to take de- cisions but because they should be constantly comparing notes and dis- cussing the situation from day to day. “A council of the Chiefs of Staff,’’ said the Premier, “‘involved the cre- ation of another body, conflicting with the Versailles council. The moment we began an examination it became clear that functions which the executive body were to éxercise could not properly be performed by th Chief of Staff in various capitals. If the Chiefs of Staff stayed in Paris their Governments would be deprived for long periods of the advice of their principal military advisers. For that reason the Supreme War Coin- cil rejected the proposal with com- plete unanimity. The Scheme Adopted. “T think I am right in saying that the proposal was withdrawn. ‘Then it was suggested by M. Clemenceau that it was desirable for us to sep- arate and for each: delegation § to think out a plan of its own. It is very remarkable that, meeting sep- arately and considering the matter— quite independently we should have returned thé following tiorning with exactly the same proposal. And that proposal is the proposal which now holds the field. “T hesitated for some time wheth- er I should not read to the House of Commons the very cogént document submitted by the American delega- tion, which put the case for the present proposal. It is one of the ablest documents ever submitted to a military conference. The only Trea- son why I do not read it to the House is that it is mixed up with the plan of operations. “If I should read the document submitted by the Americans . there would be no need to make a speech. aE _ ble power and logic. Not a Dissentient Vote. “What happened? »~roposal here and there. There was ‘a good deal of discission, which | took some hours, but there was not a | single digzgentient vote, so far as the plan was concerned. “Field Marshal Haig called atten- tion to two points which we realised were weak points, and we undertgok to. put them right. | stitutional, points, not points which | went to the root of the proposal it- self.’’ After again emphasizing the unan- 'imity of the Versailles council the ‘been present at the conference.

During the week after he returnod fr.m Versailles, the army couneoil considered the. arrangement and made certain criticisms frdm a con- stitutional point of view. He consid- ered these very carefull with the Earl of Derby, Secretary for War, who had throughout put the case of Gen. Robertson before/the Cabinet. | pag Opposed by Robertson. . Lioyd George confirmed that Gen. | Robertson had refused the position | at Vereailles and that when he re- | fused that post he was offered the position of chief of the general staff “with powers adapted to the position which had been set up at Versailles.” Gen. Robertson had suggested modification of the proposal by mak- ante avenue ing the Versailles representative dep- uty of the chief of staff, but this : ; PO a 1 = 4 + ee hai ‘ss : ’ Se in ES ee ay en Se Oe ee sites Meee ae ey SS PA ge OO rho On ee ee ies) Pe dk. fae Ss cae cae eos 8 BC es cit os hears ies ae ra a Po es! : ae Sedation ww est ean wit at es i oe the Government felt bound to reject, ‘ered perfectly workable. | In view of ‘ as it involved putting a subordinate | his past support of Gen. Robertson, : * ir a position of the first magnitude, whére he might have to take vital cecisions under instructions given to him before the full facts were known. The Premier added that the Gov- ernment felt it essential that the British representative at Versailles should be equal in authority to the representative of any other country. When Gen. Robertson came to the conclusion that under thé conditions laid down he could not accept either position, the Government, with the deepest regret, found itself bound to go on without him. “We had to choose between a: pol- icy deliberately and unanimously ar- rived at by the represefitatives oft the allied Powers,” explained the Premier, “and retiring the services of a distinguished and valued public servant. “Tf the policy is right, no person- alities should stand in the way of its execution, however valuable and distinguished. It is mot the policy of this Government, but of the great allied Govérnments in concert. There is absolutely no. difference between our policy and the policy of France, Italy and America in this tespect.” The chief of the general staff was to hold office under the same con-4 ditions and with the same powers as previous chiefs of staff and was tp remain the supreme military adviser to the Government. “The impression,” the Premier said, ‘‘was that all difficulties, con- stitutional and téchnical, definitely had Been overcome by this docu- ment, which had been shown to Field Marshal Haig. Gen. Robert- son, unfortamately, was away at the time, otherwise he would have had Be- ing under the impression that’ all difficulties had been removed and that Vergailles had become more im- portant as the cénter, the Govern- ment offered the position to Génh. Robertson. Only after this occurred I became awar4 that Gen. Robertson was not willing to acquiesce in the system and that he took objection not oh the téchnical and constitu- tional grouhds, but -on military grounds, to thé system which the Versailles council had decidéd un- animously to adopt.” Prnises Robertson. The Premiér, in praising Gen. Robertson,*said they had parted without an unkind word. The Gov- ernment proposed to invite from the highest military authorities sugges- tions as to the best means of remov- ing the anxiety and that in the scheme put forward in order to se- cure concerted and combined action between the allies, it had not done something to impair the efficiency of the army. If a suggéstion came for making a between arfangement from that point of view, the Govern- ment would seek .to adopt it. There also were difficulties, he said, arising from national feeling, historical tradition and suspicion, which might indtce the belief that one country was trying to séek.ad- vantage for itself. All these things hampered every alliance. Trust and confidence among thé allies was the very soul of victory and he néver ceased to plead for it. The Premier added: “We discussed and rediscussed this plan with the single desire that our whole concentrated strength should resist the most terrible foe that ever confronted civilization. The enemy had rejected the most moder- ate terms ever advanced beéause ho was convinced the Russian collapse put it if. his powers to achieve vic- tory and impose Prussian dominance on Europe. Challenges Opponents. ‘That being so; I beg the House to turn down all controversy and close our ranks. If this policy de- liberately adopted by the great al- lied representatives does fot com- mend itself to the ‘ House, they should turn it down qQickly and put in a Government willing to say: ‘We will not accept it,’ | “But it must be another Govern- ‘ment. Don’t let-us Keep. the con- troversy alive. The Govéetfnment id entitled to know and know tonight the decision of Parlianient and the nation. “If the country repudiates the pol- icy for which I am responsible and upon which I believe safety for the country depends, I shall quit office with but one regret—that I had no greater strength and greater ability to place at the disposai of my native land in the gravest hour of its his- tory.” Robertson’s Attitude. The War Minister, the Earl of giving an explanation of the House of Lords, said there was no question that the powers of Gen. Robertson were being reduced, but that the General resigned because he thought the scheme would not work. Gen. Robertson himself had placed a “plan before the Supreme War Council, but it was turned down by the military advisers of the Government and by every other member of the allied council. It was @ case of “accept my terms or lose my services.”’ Lord Derby said he had done his utmost to persuade Gen. Robertson to accept the new schg@me which all allied soldiers and statesman consid- - g Lord Derby had offered to resign, but the Premier had asked him to con- tinue in office and help to carry out the scheme. Hé agreed because he believed the schemie could be made a success and would help materially to win the War. : A majority of the morning papers S EC TIONAL |C aes ihe Tidtareseiatss + Tit ' . ~— 7 J TTT Gisaeiucaeses accept the statement made in~ the - => habe end of Commons yesterday by hi emier Lioyd George as a satisfac- LLL LL eee eenmntemeeneentadie a The surest proof of its adaptability to all seasons is that owners of this, con- vertible sedan invariably use it daily throughout the year.

VER COUNTRY PLANNED Millions of Bushels Awaiting a Market, According to Food Administration. _...The United States Food Adminis- tration is perfecting plans for a na- tional “potato drive,” to be beld for one. week in every town and city in the country, to urge the consumer to buy large quantities of potatoes bO that the surplus crops raised last Season may be marketed. Millions of bushels of potatoes are ‘awaiting a market, according to re- from various sections of the country, ."but the lack of transportation facili- ties has prevented shipment to the large centers. Prof. W. F. Gephart, ‘hairman of the United States Food Administration Committee of St. Louis, said today that all the agen- cies of the national food adminis- tration, including State and local administrations, have been workins for more than a month on the po- 'and $2.30 a bushel, according to! the Government in shipping food to] ‘grade; and credit and delivery, $2.98,' the Atlantic seaboard for transport abroad.” | | $2.96 and $2.48 a bushel. ° Commenting on the Omaha dis- patch, Chairman Gephart said that the Food Administration knew that there were large quantities of pota- toes in various markets awaiting shipments, but that the shortage of cars has prevented moving them to redistributing points. “Our biggest problem,” he contin- 'ued, “is to get the cars to move the potatoes. That is what we are work- ing on. “Just as soon as the railroads can get the cars we are going to see that large shipments of potatoes are brought into this market and there will be a material reduction in the price. The local committee has been devoting much of its time to this po- tato situation. The railroads say that the transportation situation is slowly improving and we hope to launch the potato drive in St. Louis within the next month or six weeks. | After the week’s campaign we may have one ‘potato day’ a week, s0 that the entire surplus crop may be disposed of before the new one starts coming in in May. “It may be possible there are large quantities of potatoes in Nebraska, but it would be impossible to get cars to move them to this market. Every available car has been used by ‘life and dust in addition to provid-| | Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets Ge Chairman Gephart said that the wholesale and retail price of pota- toes here is as low as possible, in view of the situation. A reduction was made last week, Gephart said, and further reductions are expected | from week to week.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1307. \ pa LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Proposed Increase in Fares. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I wrote you thanking you for your serv- ice in the work of the speedy settlement of the street car strike and, in doing so, lI said it was the understanding of the public that there was to be no increase in fare, or lessening of the transfer privileges. It cost years of litigation to collect a little over half the amount due the city in taxes and the U. R. attorneys and the politicians of this city are still planning and schem- ing ways by which they may avoid the pay- ment of the other half. There has never been a doubt in the mind of any one who las examined the discussion of that case that the company still owes this balance and that they should pay it and pay it now end that no further privileges should be granted them until this is paid. I warned those who read my former article that any increase in fares or abridgment of transfers was simply putting the in- creased cost.on the ultimate consumer. Henry F. Mueller, a U. R. stockholder, writes to your people's column that he hasn't had any dividend on his stock for eight years. Did he ever have any? He — asks that what he calls “a clean-cut legiti- , mate company” be permitted to raise its fares slightly to meet its increased expen- ses on account of the war. Well, I think we are also in the war and each one has his increased cost to bear, as well as Mr. Mueller and the United Railways. We would whisper to the employes of the U. R. they had better beware of a plan to get them to help the U. R. raise the fares for by doing that they will lose what they now have-—the sympathy of the public. JOHN L. SPALDING. How's This, Mr. Selph? Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, What do you think of this for efficient _Postoffice work? >> On Saturday at 2:15 p. m. I mailed a rackage addressed to Staunton, Il. I put & special delivery stamp on the package and handed it to a clerk handling the mail for the train which calls at Staunton, and leaves the Union Station at 3:15. Today I received a. long-distance cant | from my customer at Staunton sayirg that . the package has not yet been received. 361,263 RUSSI@’S BETRAYAL. The German peace, with all the spoils of war in German hands, which Lenine and Trotzky are re- ported to have signed with Germany was inevita- ble when the Bolshevist worthies began peace ne- gotiations with the declaration that Russia would fight no more and the order that Russian armies be demobilized. From that moment Russia was betrayed into the hands of the German autocracy which was free to take what it wanted of Russian territory and Russian resources and to force its own terms upon Russia. Practical patriotism, national security and good faith were abandoned for a seductive and visionary scheme of international solidarity of all existing governments and set up a condition of democracy in which the poor and ignorant would divide the possessions of the earth and live leaders professed to believe that this appeal Cc ' would arouse the Socialists of the Central Powers | | and inspire them by revolt not only to protect, conceal a traitorous scheme to betray Russia into the hands of the German imperialists. Russian liberty, but to gain their own. This wild dream may, by stretch of imagina- | tion, be credited to fanatic conviction, but in| | view of the outcome it looks like camouflage to Weeping crocodile tears over the German menace to Rus- sian liberty, Lenine and Trotzky took every pos- ‘gible step to make the menace a reality. Instead of standing for Russian liberty and trying to arouse the Russian people to a realization of their jeopardy and to organize them for des- _perate defense, they demobilized the armies fac- | ing the German guns and organized the Red | 'Guards to shoot down Russians who opposed | ‘and Trotzky. | their schemes of Russian betrayal and ruin. They organized murder and rapine in Russia to es- tablish their power to betray. There is nothing of the Washington in Lenine They had no idea of standing against tyranny with armed freemen willing to die for their country’s rights and liberties. They | fought for liberty with their mouths only, but with their hands stabbed Russian liberty in the back. They gave aid and comfort to the foes of liberty and tried to destroy its friends who are. defending it with blood and treasure. They tried to strike down liberty everywhere by de- | nouncing its defenders and helping its enemies. The Bolshevist betrayers of Russia have ex- | erted a certain moral influence. Their ideals of | a democratic peace were useful and their ex: posure of German lust of land and greed for do- | minion has been effective in defining the issue | for which the anti-German Allies are fighting Fortunately, the question of peace or war be- tween Germany and Russia is of little conse- quence in the final decision. That will not he determined by the Lenines and Trotzkys. Their | ruinous pact of peace with the German wolves is | not worth the paper on, which it is written. The,| fate of civilization does not depend upon their | action, but upon the arms of the heroic scldiers and sailors of Britain, France, Italy and Amer- ica, who are defending the liberty of all men against armed and brutal despotism. | The terms of peace for Russia, as for other | peoples, will be dictated by men who love liberty more than life and who will win it as it has al- ways been won at the cannon’s mowth. The Bolshevist vision of just peace with autocrats by agreement sinks in Russian ruin and chaos as the dream of German conquest will sink in de- feat by freemen in arms. On our courage and devotion rest the liberties of mankind. a 2A a & en chef The republie of Venezuela, which has presented an oil portrait of Gen.

It is a pity that the talk of Major John R. | Fordyce with the pictures of the construction of Camp Pike, to the Jovian League, can not be given | to the United States Senate when naggers and bullyraggers are rampant. The site selected for Camp Pike was a piece of | virgin, rocky soil eight miles from Little Rock, | Ark. “ Beginning in June of last year the plans, ‘were made, the force was organized and the camp For | the camp 23 miles of railroad was constructed through quartz hills, a system of hard-surface | ‘roads was made, a water supply brought from Lit- | le Rock, a sewer system was put in and 1600 build- | was completed in the following September. ‘ings were completed, ready for occupancy by 40,- 900 men.

Of course, the standardized ma- terials were ready at hand. The force ranged from 7000 to 10,000 men who had to be organized, housed and fed. It was an example of American speed and efficiency which could not be equaled in any other country in the world. Camp Pike is one of 16 cantonments where simi- | lar tasks were achieved with practically equal suc- cess. There were variations, of course. In the face of the stupendous job of preparing | for the National Army, successfully accomplished in record time, a few mistakes and delays fade into ‘insignificance. We must keep our perspective. We must look at what has been done, how it has been done, and in what time it has been done, to get the true proportion between mistakes and achieve- ments. Let us correct mistakes wherever neces- sary and improve methods wherever possible, but we say without qualification that the organizing of 'the National Army, the organizing of the system to | provide for its registration, examination, transpor- | tation and training; the building of the canton- _ments and provision of all necessaries to maintain them were splendid achievements which reflect credit upon the War Department and its aids. The | men who planned and did the work deserve praise and gratitude. It is an outrage to offer them any- i'thing but sympathetic and helpful crticism. We have been put on a war footing from a state of ‘peaceful unpreparedness, with unparalleled celer- ity and efficiency. ¢ —____—_—_-_-##4--- Another “American dentist to the Kaiser come back from Germany. main over there? --- 0 ----—-—-- THE 1918 AUTO SHOW.

ANTWINE ON HOW TO WIN THE WAR. OT way to win the war is to first make sure that everybody is getting something out of it,’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘* Thus, someone has calculated that the coal saved by the recent fuel order cost the manufacturers of this country $293 a ton. ‘*Dr. Garfield offsets this unpleasantry by assur- ing us that the fuel order enabled us to coal and get off for European ports with supplies no less than 480 ships. ‘*He says it also made it possible for the railroads to recover fron} the paralyzing effects of the worst winter we have had in this country in 20 years, with the result that steel shipments, which had de- creased to a degree endangering the conduct of the war, recovered, ‘‘Yet there is sullenness over the fuel order, and elements of the population which did not make any- thing out of it are angrily estimating their losses. It is a sore spot. ‘‘Mr. Wilson expresses beautifully the national ideals, but I am afraid he is.not practical enough. The war should be conducted in such a way that everybody will get something out of it. That would at once popularize it and make victory certain. ‘‘T regret that I can't tell him how he can do this.”. I am not a practical man, either. Like the President, I am disposed to regard this as a time for sacrifice, probably an old-fashioned idea that will go by the board before we get done fighting the practical Prus- Sian. ‘*‘In my simple philosophy it seems to me not to matter what the coal we saved cost us, but how many ships we get off for Europe and how many tons of stuff necessary to winning the war got moving again upon the railroads. I don’t give a whoop outdoors what it cost. Still, I realize that mine is an old-fash- ioned patriotism. If we want everybody in with us all pulling together—and every man doing his best— there must be something in it for us. ‘*This is a real world in which we live.

Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams AN APPRECIATION. B“MHINGS always seem more heroic when Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis says sométhing. The Judge has pep, and everybody feels braver when he about for the hides of those who oppose us. He said the other day that we are not in the war for anybody in Europe. We are in it for our- selves. Thus ringeth his words: The man who in February of 1918 desires to be told why we are in this war is wrong either in his head or in his heart, for every- one outside of jail and the insane hospital knows why we are in the war and has sworn a covenant with himself that we shall stay in it until it is finished. Some say we are in it for the sake of Belgium, some say that we are in it for the sake of France, but I tell you the God’s truth is that we are in it for the sake of our own salvation. Nor is the Judge suddenly rearing on his hind legs, as they say in Texas, and sort of shooting up the Wilhelmstrasse. He is always like that—the one man in this country who makes Col.

Miss Burke, honorary organizing gecretary of the Scottish Women's Hospital for Foreign Service and author of “The White Road to Verdun,” has returned to America directly from the tritish and American fronts, and I doubt if there is any one in the country at present who knows as much as this young veteran about actual service conditions for women on the western front. Slender and blonde, Miss Burke reminds me of a thin gold wire, vibrating sensitively to every hum- an touch. But behind the warmth of her handclasp and her smile isa wonderful combination of shrewd- ness, energy, executive ability and devoted courage, which have won her five distinguished service med- als, including the big cross of gold and ename! given to a Command- er of the British empire.

Good results in correct time-recording can be ob- tained by observing a few simple rules, writes A. K. Jamilton in the Lllustrated World, Chicago. Wind your watch at the same time every day, if possible, where it can be compared with and reg- ulated by a standard chronometer. It is better to wind it twice a day, but this is of no benefit unless it be done regularly. Absent-minded- ly turning the stem at frequent intervals during the day is harm- ful. When winding hold the watch still and turn the stem at an even rate. The iast few turns should be made siowly to avoid a jarring strain on the spring at the end of surface saves it from many ab- rupt shifts due to sudden move- ments of the body. The vest pocket is a better resting place at night than under a pillow. This keeps the watch in the same position throughout the 24 hours. but the vest should not be exposed to great changes of temperature. It is best not to open the back of your watch at all, but never do it out of doors where dust and grit may fly in. Tobacco ashes are just as bad. If there are any repairs to be made consult a watehmaker. Some watches may run for years without going to the shop, but they should be oiled at regular in- tervals. One-tenth of a drop will lubricate it, but this tiny amount is am necessary as the greater quan- tity the auto demands. Don't geta ch@ watch and bang it around; you may forget some day and try the same tactics on an expensive one.

Once more baseball's trade caul- @ron is simmering and there is every Mmdication that the Cardinals and Cubs will pull a deal before the end of this week. President Branch Rickey of the local club announced yesterday that he contemplated going out of the city for a few days. Short- ly afterward the news came out of Chicago that Charles H. Weeghman, Royal Keeper of the Cub’s Bank- roll, had arranged a conference with Rickey during the latter part of the week at which time a proposed trade would be threshed out. Because the National League re- cently passed a “gag’’ rule whereby the magnates are prohibited from discussing deals until they have pass- ed the tentative stage, news-mon- gers in this instance are on the out- side lookin’ in. There is no denial from either side that a trade is pend- ing but whom it involves, neither Rickey nor Weeghman feel inclined to say. Hornsby Not Involved. Rickey did state last night that Rogers Hornsby was not involved in the recent present negotiations. Chi- eagoans believe. Hornsby is and Rickey says he knows they do. Withal, it quiring momentous decisions since Jack Hendricks has been asked to meet Rickey in Chicago and Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs, has re- ceived instructiong from Weeghman to be on the scene. Before any intimation that a deal Was pending had leaked out, Rickey, during the course of a conversation, dropped a few hints on his ideas of trading and baseball clubs, which must be a situation re-| now are doubly interesting, since it is known he has his dander up and is in a dealing mood. The Cardinal executive’ believes the | fans care not for Hornsby nor Jack Smith, nor any other member of the Cardinals excepting in so far as they relate to a winning baseball club. The winner. in the ming of Rickey, is paramount, and whether that win- ner is produced with or without an individual star is the least concern of the cash customer. How Branch Sees It. It Is Rickey's business, he says, to furnish the successful club. He firm- by believes that if the Cardinals are in the first division they will attract | | the crowds, whether the Cardinals have Rogers Hornsby or not. In other words, Rickey contends that no player is greater than his club. From a source very close Rickey, it was learned that the Cardi- | mals’ president has offered Hornsby | all the salary he feels justified in ‘paying under war conditions. Horns- by has intimated that he will not sign at that price. The players’ terms are almost $3000 higher than those he has been offered. Rickey believes the youngster is beyond all reason. The argument to back up his belief is that only three men in the National League have been offer new contracts § calling for 85000 salarics. eee MAJOR LEAGUES TO USE FEDS’ EASTERN PARKS FOR SUNDAY BASEBALL NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—H.

He is reaping the reward in sound muscles, a healthy stomach and nervous sys- tem, and unvitiated stamina Randalls feat could be dupli- eated by any fighter who had the self-control to go through with a clean life. But few have. Other Aged One Made Good. OB FITZSIMMONS was another Randall, only more so. Fitz was still champion at the age of 36, having won it at 35. He lost it to Jeffries at 37, because he was out- weighed 40 pounds. Nevertheless he fought effectively long after he was 40 years old. Only a few months ago the ancient colored scrapper, Kentucky Rosebud, whose origin dates back into the primitive days of the ring and who was said to be at least 50 years old, fought and won a fight in Philadel- phia. If memory serves correctly, he knocked out his opponent. Jack Johnson pleaded guilty to 57 years when he fought his last battle for the title against Jess Willard. At’ that, he clearly beat Willard for 20) rounds, although 30 ‘pounds over- | weight, and said to be several years older than the guides credited him) with being. Jim Corbett was 34 years old when he knocked out Kid McCoy and was) 87 years old when Jim Jeffries, then | | in his prime, put an end to Corbett’ S| w ho after being thrown by Harvey ring career.
