Unionism is the paramount issue, and the notice prepared by the union asked the employers to state, by 4:30 Pp. m., whether they. would ane! with the union, as representing the em- ployes, on the subject of wages and working conditions.

AMERICAN KILLED, 3 WOUNDED ‘BY BANNITS AT. TAMPICO > Mexicans Attack an Oui Boat—State | Department Regards Incident as One of Robbery. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (By A. P.).—One American Was killed and two were wounded in an attack by Mexican bandits on an oil boat at Tampico -Wednesday. Edgar House, a paymaster for the Texas Company, was killed. The wounded are: J. P. S. Mennett, Dr. Brisbane, an employe of the Island Oil and.Transport Co., and a third) man named Prather. Mennett’s wourd is serious. Offiicals regarded the incident as a case of robbery rather than an out- burst of anti-American feeling. The boat attacked was carrying money, probably in Yhe Panuco River or one of the inland lagoons. So far as known, the bandits were not connect- ed with any of the military forces. The Government has called the inci- dent to the attention of the Mexi- ean Government. Efforts to retake the oil fields about Tampico from Manuel Palaez have been resumed by the Carranza , troops with some success. Gen. Die- guez, commanding the Government forces has driven the Palaez forces from the county about the Cerro Azul, one of the largest oil wells of the Huasteca capital. Saladera, a small town on the edge.of the oil region has been captured: LICENSE REFUSED SALOON CLOSE TO MUNITION PLANTS County Excise Commissioner Says It Would Tend to Decrease Efficiency of Workmen. An application by M. A. Goffstein ‘for'a license for a saloon at 6301 Hamburger avenue, Wellston, was |denied today by the Excise Commis- | sioners of St. Léuis County on the ground that it would be close to three large plants which are engaged in the manufacture of war munitions end would*tend to decrease the effi- '¢iency of the workmen. The Curtis & Co. Manufacturing Co., the E. E. Souther Iron Works and the Fayette Plumb Tool Co., wrote letters asking that the license be denied. They said workmen would be tempted to go to the.saloon and workmen becauso they believed drinking to be respon- sible for accidents and believed it. deereased the efficiency of the men amd dulled their keener sensibilities. In the letters it was stated the close proxmity of the saloon would inter- fere with Government work. _ eRe Retiansee CLASSIFICATION OF 3 ON AGRICULTURAL GROUNDS CHANGED Two Men Advanced From Class 4 to Class 1 on Govern- ment Appeals. ANOTHER PUT IN CLASS 2 Bank Employe Wed Since May 18, Last, Put in Class 1 by District Board. The’ District Appeals Board today reconsidered its action in four cases where drafted men had ‘been granted deferred classification on the ground of employment in necessary agricul- tural pursuits. Three of these, whose cases had been appealed by Glenn Mohler, Government attorney for the Twenty-seventh Ward, were ad- vanced in the classification as a re- ‘sult of the rehearing. In the other case the Government appeal was not granted, Louis Frueh of 4751 Goodfellow avenue, who was put in Class 4 by the District Board Jan. 4, was to- day put in Class 1, on proof that he is not essential to the operation of a truck garden. It was shown tHat his father, mother and six sisters aid in operating the business. Dairyman in Class 1. ' Newstead avenue, was from Class 4 to Class 1. He was given the deferred classification Jan. 17,.0n the ground that he was indis- 'pensable'to the operation of a dairy. Evidence collected by Attorney Mohler showed that he was not in the dairy business until last March, when his father, Henry Bertjans, advanced the money with which he started and purchased cows and It was contended by the Government attorney that the business in effect belonged to the father, who-could af- ford to hire someone to operate it if the son should be called to war.

The evidence was discovered after Henkes was brought back from France for trial because of his in- sistent demands that he be allowed. to resign to avoid fighting relatives and- friends in Germany.

The general belief in embassy circles is that the German terms which the couched in such ambiguous terms that they must be cleared up thor- oughly ‘before the actual status of Russia can be ascertained. Some members of the embassy ‘Nstaff already have left while others will leave by way of Siberia on a special train tonight, together with many. allied nationals.

It was shown that John as- .sists in managing the property and also has charge of a delivery route.

STRIKE CAMPAIGN HINTED Hertling Expected to Speak To- day on Russian Peace Offers to Germany. AMSTERDAM, Feb. 25 (By A. P.). —A revolution in Germally was pre- dicted by Dr. Cohn, Independent So- cialist Deputy, in-&an address to the Reichstag Friday, the Volks Zeitung o? Cologne says. Dr. Cohn’s ad- dress, made during the debate on the peace treaty with Ukraine, threw the Reichstag into an uproar. “It is not correct to say that the people of Russia’s Baltic provinces are longing for German rule,’ he declared. ‘The treaty with Ukraine is not the first step toward general peace. I see the day coming when revolution will reach Germany and the people will take the fate of their rulers into their own hands.” The Independe&Bt Socialists cheer- ed the speaker. From other parts of the Heuse came shouts of “trai- tor.”’ There ‘are numeroug indications in Germany. of a systematic: cam- paign to promote a new general strike, says a Berlin dispatch to the weser Zeitung of Bremen. Strain Between Germany and Austria The German papers comment on the relations between Germany and Austria, which ..apparently are be- coming quite strained. The Tages Zeitung contrasts the abuse of Ger- many in Austria in connection with the Ukrainian treaty with the praise bestowed on Count Czernin, the Aus- tro-Hungarian Foreign Minister. The paper tries to discover the motives of the Vienna official news agency in publishing the Polish manifesto re- flecting upon Germany, which has given great offense and comes to the conclusion that the Austrian censor- ship, by its attitude all' along, has failed to show appreciation of Ger- many’s interest, edding: “It is: time that we point out most emphatically how such incidents are endangering the friendly relations between the two countries.” The Hamburger Nachrichten says: “The present attitude of certain Aus- trian newspapers is decidedly not calculated to make the feeling in |Germany toward Austria any more friendly.” Hertling Speech Expected Today. Count von Hertling, the Imperial German Chancellor, is expected to address the German Reichstag today on foreign affairs,- probably with most attention to the Russian situa- tion and the peace terms now offered by Germany. The Chancellor has not yet replied to the recent War aims statement of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, and if he speaks he may take this opportunity to state Ger- many’s case once more. ALLEGED DESERTER WHO JUMPED FROM TRAIN ARRESTED Man Who Escaped From Sergeant at Belleville Yesterday Taken in Custody at Litchfield Hotel. Harold J. Keyes, 21 years old, said to be a deserter from the Unity ed States army, who escaped from the custody of a Sergeant by jump- ing through the window of a train as it neared Belleville at 2:30 a. m., yesterday, was arrested this morning ir a hotel at Litchfield, [l., where he had registered* under his own name. Keyes admitted his identity and said that after jumping from the train he walked to a small town and boarded a Wabash train for Litch- field. The commandant at Jeffer- ton Barracks was notified and an army Sergeant has been sent to Litchfield. Keyes, who is said to be the ne- phew of T. J. Lynch of Denver, Colo., was arrested by Federal au- thorities in Denver last week for tm- personating an army Captain and He was being taken to Camp Wheeler, Ma- con, Ga., on a charge of deserting from C @ompany, Twenty-sixth In- fantry, two months ago.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (By A. P.).—-Denouncing the Bolsheviki sur- render to Germany, Senator McCum- ber of North Dakota, Republican, told. ‘the Senate today that a “Bol- sheviki’ sentiment in America was of no less danger to-the cause of de- mocracy against atitocracy. Profit- eers, labor slackers and Government officials who fail to stand up against them were assailed by the Senator in vigorous terms. Unless conditions change, he de- crared, only a collapse of the Cen- tral Powers can save the allies from defeat. The Senator Began with a denunciation of the Bolsheviki sur- render. , “Search the world’s history,” de- clared enator McCumber, “and nothing. .can be found even to ap- proach this most damnable treach- ery to the faithful and bleeding al- lies—this blackest treason to coun- try and national honor. For this ig- nominious surrender under Bolshe- viki reign, ‘let every Russian patriot fer a thousand years wear branded on his cheek the blush of shame. “Cancer Sapping Our Strength.”’ ‘With this spectacle of national impotency and disgrace before you ana enlightened by the appalling conditions in our shipyards, is it not about time!we were turning our at- tention to the Bolshéviki doctrine of those in our own country who are paralyzing the arms of the Govern- ment and imperiling the lives of our soldiers in France? | “So, too, we have seen the effect of this Bolsheviki sentiment ‘more, still more, always more,’ regardless of justice,» regardless of patriotic duty, in the shameful delay in ship construction, on which the very life of a great world principle depends, and we are told that every line .of industry upon which the life of the Government depends, will soon be reduced to the same condition of im- potency, “The time has arrived for the American people to accept this chal- lenge. “The Bolsheviki cancer which is sapping our strength and jeopardiz- ing our safety manifests itself in its most malignant form in supply profiteering and in labor profiteering in our shipyards.”’ Hog Island Built on Graft. In supply profiteering Senator Mc- Cumber said hg would name only one shipyard, Hog Island. The foundation of that yard, he said, ‘“‘is laid on graft,’’ and the cost of con- struction, he said, will be “three or four times the Government’s orig- inal estimate,” adding “this single hold-up of the Government will prob- ably cost not léss than $30,000,000.” “Like conditions prevail,” he con- tinued, ‘‘throughout the country wherever speeding up production has mést atrocious character, always against the Government, have been O K'd by Government officials. The Government pays évery dollar of ex- p@nse for raw materials, and yet pays individuals enormous profits. Men who never saw a shipyard, men who had no capital, have been given con- tracts to build ships and.they in turn have contracted to sublet those con- tracts to others, retaining big com- missions. Banks have’ charged im- mense bonuses for securing contracts for their customers and all this with- in the knowledge of, or easily ob- tainable by, Government officials.’”? Fault of Officials, Ie Says. Despite the fact that the nation, needs ships as never before in order to transport troops and supplies abroad and “notwithstanding the pa- triotic fever of Gompers, union labor in our shipyards is slacking in a most shameful and disgraceful man- ner,”’ the Senator declared. ‘Just how long American people will sub- mit to being robbed, first by the ma- terial men, then by the laborer, and then to having both robberies en- couraged and acquiesced in by the Government, the Lord only knows.” ' "Tf the country is being robbed, it is the result of the officials in sold. or work done.

But I don’t believe that it ‘is practical to fix wages through the union. The situation in a department store is too complex to be adjusted on the grounds suggegted by the union, of a fixed wage in all de- partments. But we are not in the attitude of antagonizing the union.” Salomon’s Remarks Misconstrued. In the Midday edition today the Post-Dispatch reported Salomon as saying that his company “‘would rec- ognize the union.’’ Salomon says this was an erroneous construction of some of. the things he said in a general chat with a reporter about the situation. He was telling what the store’s attitude had been toward Local 80, but did not state definitely what the store would do in the present circumstances. saying a directors’ meeting would be held | *° today to consider the situation. Attitude of Vandervoort’s. ~ Melville L. Wilkinson, president of the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co., and also president of the Associated Retailers, when asked today if his firm wolild recog- nize the union, said: “IT am leaving that to .our em- ployes. It is entirely in their hands. Ninety-six per cent of them have voluntarily voted their confidence in us and. have protested against this new movement. Our employes are again meeting this morning in our ‘building and will decide this thing for themselves. “I have received no demands from the new retail clerks’ union. I saw in the morning papers that at a meeting of certain clerks yesterday a resolution was adopted to present certain demands on department stores at 9 o’clock today. I ‘had an- other appgintment for 9 o'clock, but am waiting here at my office so that I will be here in person to receive any demands that may be presented.” Nugents’ Course Not Announced. Frederick «C, Lake, secretary of B. Nugent. & Bros., said at 9:15 a. m. that the officials of the Nugent store had not received any demand trom’ the union. He declined to say what reply wou ula mand was received. Sigmund Baer, secretary of the eet | work Tuesday morning. Instead, report on the sidewalk in front of your place of employment. You will have the right to use the sidewalks, and don’t let anyone deny you that right.” Int tional President Baker speaking at the meeting, predicted that efforts would be made today to detach individual employes front their adherence to the union, and he ‘urged them to stand fast. A message was brought to the/ meeting by A. O. Piant, president of the new Street Car Men’s Union, that) the Central Trades and Labor Union had resolved to support the clerks, as it supported the street car men. Loyalty to Vandervoort’s , Forty-five | the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co. met in the forenoon at the store and formally adopted the declaration drawgi up Saturday, which will be presented to President Wilkinson with the of all department heads. It is as follows: We, the following signed em- ploye’, wish to assure you of our loyalty and our appreciation of the treatment and of all that you have done for wus, and we know we can always depend the future that everything be done for us individually, as well as collectively, that is pos- sible.

United Railways Bricf. The United Railways brief, an- Busby said ‘to, a \swering,the contentions of City Coun- selor Daues and Woerner, sets out the following: 1. That the constitutional pro- vision cited by Counselor Daues and Woerner is intended merely as a limitation on the Legisla- ‘ ture and is not a grant of power to the city. ® That the conditions imposed by the city as the price of its con- sent for the use of the streets is subject to and must necessarily be in consonance with the laws of the state in force at the time of giv- ing such:consent or subsequently enacted. 3. That the conditions , imposed by the citv as the price thereof, such as the rate of fare, does not act in a sovereign capacity, or in its own behalf, but. merely as the agent of the state, and the condi-. | tions it prescribes are therefore subject to modification or abroga- tion by the state.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY EVENING, ie FEBRUARY 25, 1918. — a PRICES RAISED WHEN FRENGH SEE US COMING St. Louis County Engineer Writes in Praise of Army Rations. In letters written to his parents, John lL. Hyde of Forest Heights, St. Louis County, a member of the Twelfth Engineers, now in France, tells of exorbitant prices charged American soldiers. He gives as a reason for this the knowledge of the French that the pay of American soldiers is about twice as much as that of the British or French. Excerpts from a letter dated Dec. 6 follow: “Don't think a fellew can’t spend any money here. I have a $15 a month allotment, $5000 insurance to carry, a barber bill, tailor bill, to- bacco and other miscellaneous ex- penses. There are canteens all over the war zone and a fellow can’t go in and get out without spending 5 francs ($1).- My favorite dish—to- matoes—costs 2% francs. Can you beat it? The British also have beer canteens. “T have had only three days’ leave since coming here. When the French see an American coming they ad- vancé prices. The reason is that the British troops do not draw nearly as much money as we do and so Amer- icans are always ready to pay more = « Steinway Upright Steinway Upright Piano in excellent condition through- out.

Senator Stone, who had neglected to use his official position to aid St. Louis in bringing about the removal of the bridge erbditrary until after Joseph W. Folk was employed as counsel for the Chamber of Com- merce and began an active fight on the arbitrary, announced from Wash- ington yesterday that he was prepaf- ing a brief to be filed with Secretary McAdoo, Director General of Rail- roads, setting forth the injustice of the arbitrary and urging that the Government operate the free bridge. . The announcement was received by business men and politicians in St. Louis today as a characteristic po- litical move of the Senator's. Al- though no authoritative statement has been made by Folk, it is gen- erally accepted as a fact that he will be a candidate for Stone’s seat in the Senate in 1920, and it has been predicted that if he is successful in removing the arbitrary, his political stock in St. Louis will soar. It is known that the re-entry of Folk into Missouri politics has caused the Senator and his close political friends much concern, and the Sen- ator was quick to see that political- ly it would never do for Folk to get all the glory out of the arbitrary fight. Stones Calls on McAdoo. The first intimation that the Sena- tor had interested himself in the St. Louis terminal problem came in dis- patches from Washington that he had called on Secretary McAdoo “several weeks ago’ and that Mc- Adoo had promised to thoroughly in- vestigate the arbitrary, and had asked Senator Stone to file a brief setting forth the arguments why the arbitrary was unfair to St. Louis. It was stated that Senators Stone large stockholder in the Frisco, called upon McAdoo and that Mc- Adoo thereupon called upon the In- terstate Commerce Commission for a detailed report on the St. Louis bridge situation. McAdoo first was asked to take over the bridge by Mayor Kiel and uw delegation of St. Louis city officials more than a month ago. Since that time McAdoo has had an investiga- tion by Regional Director Aishton’ of Chicago under way. Folk will be in Washington tomor- row to consult with McAdoo about the arbitrary and the use of the free bridge by the Government. Before departing from St. Louis Saturday, ‘Folk said he expected to lay before the Director-General a detailed state- ment of the effect of the arbitrary on | St. Louis business, including a state- ment regarding freight congestion in St. Louis and East St. Louis, and a showing that the four tracks of the Bads and Merchants’ bridges were not sufficient to handle the traffic. Lazarus, who is a close personal friend of Senators Stone and Reed, who for 15 years have been political enemies of Folk, came out against the arbitrary while in Washington last week, but his views were con- cealed until after his departure from Washington and until Sundays when it was deeme:il expedient to place Stone in the front as a champion of the*removal of the arbitrary. Lazarus’ Views Given. Lazarus ieturned to St. Louis the latter part of last week, but depart- ed yesterday on a southern trip. He is expected back Friday: His views on the arbitrary, as given in the Washington dis, .tches, are: “I al.. against the tail wagging the dog,’ Lazarus is quoted as having said. ‘The arbitrary has built up East St. Louis at the expense of St. Louis. The Frisco and all the prop- rietary lines of the Terminal must realize sooner or later that the gen- eral prosperity and development of St. Louis will mean a whole lot more to them than the arbitrary toll. Zimmerman (referring to General Manager W. C. Zimmerman of the Frisco, to whom Lazarus said he had talked about removing the arbitrary) could not see it my way, but the time is coming when every railroad manager will see the logic of un- shackling these arbitrary chains.”’ The Chamber of Commerce is preparing to circulate 20,000 pledges among St. Louis shippers and busi- ness men to obtain a wide public in- dorsement of the movement to re- move the bridge arbitrary.

I noticed in Friday's Post-Dispatch a let- ter unjustly criticizing the railroad man. If this man knew the hardships and dangers these men endure, surely he would not Wave made such a statement. Let him imagine himself out every night in snow three feet deep, with the temperature at 13 below, risking his life every minute on slippery rails, to keep the wheels of commerce turning and to keep the thou- nds from want. Considtér the coal short- age. Who moved those cars? The rail- road man; and just because we ask for a); living wage in time of war we are called, ’ AVIATION ACCIDENTS. In the news of Saturday were reports of the deaths by accident of five aviation cadets of the flying corps while training at aviation camps. The Saturday ‘group of fatal accidents follows a series of similar occurrences within a few weeks. The causes vary, but in several instances they were collisions. Vernon Castle, an experienced aviator lost his life in trying to avoid a collision with an aviator under training. Others were caused by loss of machine control. Without com- plete details it is impossible to judge whether the accidents which deprived ardent and capable es Young men training for this country’s service of life or Imb and the country of the services of courageous and useful aviators were unavoidable. The accidents have reached an aggregate which calls for a through investigation. Why have ‘these fatal accidents been so freqrent of late? Is. it carelessness in permitting students to make solo flights or to attempt difficult feats before they are fully prepared? _Is it the use of airplanes that are not equal in wer of motor or strength of structure to the tests required of them? Is it due to lack of adequate regulation of flights which would avoid collisions and would reduce the danger of them to a minimum? - It is expected that a percentage of aviators in service at the front will be killed in action. They are trained experts fully capable of controlling their machines under all normal conditions of flight. Under orders of superiors to act each one is responsible for his own safety in the air. The machine with which,he operates is in the best possible condition, but he must take risks. If he is killed he dies striking at the enemy. In the training camps the responsibility rests largely on commanders and instructors. The student is under their teaching amd guidance. They must have regard for his safety in train- ing him for service. The best type of airplane today is a reliable machine, of, course accidents cannot be elimi- nated. Ambitious students will occasionally de- part from instructions and the best machines and ‘the best operators fail under adverse condi- tions. But we say emphatically that there should be a. minimum of accidents in training camps. In some of the camps none of the flying cadets have been killed. An investigation might discover remedies and precautions that would reduce accidents. It would at least assure the public that the best possible care is being taken of the courageous and enthusi- astic young men who have enlisted and are being trained for the great air fleets which will have a momentous weight in ead the war. >= % ficient wages to enable the workers to marry witb- out fear, the proposed system would make it pos- sible for these employers to reduce wages still further. The state would be burdened with the, support of all mothers and children. A worker's wages could then be based on what would be suf- ficient to keep him alive without a family. The Mutterschutz idea has supporters here and in other countries besides Germany. It would work mischief with the family, and ht even bring about conditions of real slavery. Milita- rists would favor it, because it would supply abun- dant food for cannon’ when the state-nurtured generations grew to maturity, = = a i i GOMPERS’ WARNING. The address of President Gompers at the mass meeting of the American Alliance for labor and Democracy Friday night should appeal to the plain people of Russia, Germany and -.Austria as representing the views of level-headed American working men and women. As to the Russian de- bacle, Gompers said: ‘The radicals of the Bolshéviki have not given the people land, bread nor peace; and instead of finding the great people of Russia standing erect and fighting for their homes and for their lives, we find them crawling on their bellies, licking the boots of the Kaiser and praying for mercy. And he expressed the American workers’ views emphatically when he added: “ “America is not. perfect. The republic of the United States is not perfect; it has the imperfections of the human, but it is the best country on the face of the earth, and those who do not love it enough to work for it, to fight for it, to die for it, are not worthy of the privilege of living it it.” “If those so-called radicals of America had their way,’ said Gompers, “you would find the people of the United States in the same position as the people of Russia are in now.” Those who have read the speeches and writings of the American I. W. W. leaders, Syndicalists and Anarchists—Haywood, Giovanitti, Mowatt, Goldman, Ettor and others less able, know that we have our Lenines and Trotzkys here in Amer- the American Federation of Labor had been dom- inated by them, the country would now be dan- gerously near the Russian stage of chaos and de- feat. : \ The spirit of America, however, is not favor- able to the growth of Haywoodism.

' A SWITCHMAN., Careless Theater Audiences. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Kindly print the reason why the the- aters of St. Louis have the Star-Spangled Banner played, when no one pays any at- tentfon to it? Of course, they stand as it is played at the end of the performance, but every one talks and the ladies put on their wraps while the piece is being played. Does it seem patriotic or even respectful? Why give the public a chance to thus slight their nattonal air? A VISITOR, From Washington. An Appeal From Halifax. Toe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Halifax in the midst of her great shock _and suffering deeply appreciates the abounding’ sympathy and help which have been so promptly poured out to her by in- dividuals and communities over the con- tinent. The first great emergencies have been met and passed, and now the city realizes some of its deeper and more permianent needs. Among these, a new and larger building for the Young Women’s Christian Association is urgent. This asociation is the oldest in the Do- minion of Canada and has done much good work in the past, but its present build- ing, old, utterly inadequate, and shaken, cannot possibly house the work as it has burst upon it, since the terrible explosion. The boarding department, ordinarily considered full with 30 girls, mow shelters |: 66, the staff recently enlarged, is wcrking to the limit of its strength, there is no} space for executive office, recreation, social or gymnasium rooms, and cots are crowd- ‘ed in everywhere. This state of things is not for some days or weeks but must con- tinue for months, as every available house in the city is crowded. Will not numbers come to the rescue, and send large or small amounts of money to the treasurer of the Young Women’s Christian Association, 66 Hollis street, Hal- ifax, Novia Scotia? “He who gives quickly, gives twice." | YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO- CIATION, 66 Hollis street, Halifax. N. 8. “Negro” Not a Race Name. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been a constant reader of the Post-Dispatch fer a number of years. I |’ have always admired your courage and sagacity as set forth in the editorials. All who believe in right and justice must tip their hats to you for your fair and un- biased writings on subjects of general con- cern. There is one question, however, which I series in all school districts, so that older chil- dren who are kept at home to care for the babies while their parents are at work may attend school, will probably be emphasized as the war goes on and wage-earners are taken from families to fill the rankes. It might be well to make a beginning in the creation of such nurseries, The charitable organi- zations support day nurseries, but there are not enough of these and their location is inconvenient except for families in the congested districts. If education is necessary for the city’s children, it should include them ‘all. No child should be de- barred because its mother must go out to make a living for the family and leave a baby at home. Such a baby might be safer and happier in a prop- erly conducted school nursery, and its older sis- ter or brother attending the same school would have the opportunity of helping the mother take it to school and home again. Nurseries as adjuncts to. kindergartens would seem to make our schools most useful.

It is @ more serious proposition this year than last and should be undertaken not as a fad but as a: public duty. The first lesson, by Agricultural Department ex- perts, in Saturday’s Post-Dispatch, contains val- uable information for amataeur gardeners. The table showing when various seeds should be plant- ed should be cut out and preserved for reference. It is the opinion of the department experts that city gardeners should not undertake to raise produce for sale. This has a tendency tdé overdo, and results in waste and failure. The best re- sults will be attained by each family trying to raise all the vegetables it can use to supply its own table. Any surplus may be dried or canned for Winter. There should be no ground left unused that is available this season. In Europe, all parks and most private grounds, including golf courses, have been turned into gardens for the production of food. Our duty in this matter is to outdo every other nation, as we easily can if we put forth every effort. a = = ~~ THE CREDULOUS EAISER. It is said that, to obtain the Kaiser’s consent to an offensive in the West, which is expected to cost 1,000,000 German lives, Hindenburg and Lu- dendorff have guaranteed a decisive victory. Nat- urally the Kaiser would consent, if he believed in the sufficiency of the guaranty. What are a million men more or less to one whose ‘ambition is to succeed where Alexander, Caesar and Na- poleon failed—in winning the overlordship of the whole world? But what if the sacrifice is fruitless? Surely the Emperor, most credulous of men as he is, should by this time begin to distrust the guaran- ties of his commanding Génerals.. How many con- quests on the Western front they have promised to materialize! And not one of them seemed at the outset more difficult of accomplishment than this one. The world cannot look forward to the nttenent withaut horror and pity—pity for the German youth#' who are to be fed by battalions into the destroying flame of a battle that was lost for who will be driven to death. ‘Horror for the cost of callous and brutal ambition.

ANTWINE’S OPINION. CC | AM afraid that while the world pursues its ideals “ope Germans are walking off with the real estate,’’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘*The Germans have only one ideal, so far as we know. That is to possess the earth. They are work- ing at that, and are in a measure succeeding. WNo- body in Germany is saying anything about making the world safe for anything but Germanism. — ‘*On the other hand we have Russia, abandoned to its ideals. We have our own case of militant ideal- ism. Ideals more or less. permeate the whole allied cause. We have one side fighting for what would be g0od for everybody, and the other fighting for what would be good for itself. ‘‘A remarkable spectacle, truly. ‘*How is it going? Just now, unless my reason deceives me, the Germans are getting the better of it. They have greatly increased the size of their country. They have added to their middle of Bu- rope scheme Ukrainia, which must henceforth be counted in the Teutonic alliance. They may even bag Russia before they get done. ‘‘It looks as if the Germans fight hdrder and with more persistence for themselves than the rest of us fight for one another. Maybe the selfish motive is the better for military purposes. I don’t like to be- lieve that, but the fear of it is beginning to cause me no little disquiet. There is no doubt a great deal to be said for the spirit of ’76, but look out for the spirit of conquest!’’ é **Don’t you think we are only having a period of depression, maybe?’’ asked the storekeeper. ‘*Maybe,’’ Mr. Antwine answered. ‘‘That was all they had in the dark ages, but it lasted about a thousand years.’’ ba) Lat x John Masefield might have said that the Hymn of Hate is the greatest poem of the war, as it is. What else expresses so much, or will so readily give posterity an idea what the war was about? Nothing, of course, Come, John.

You will find plenty of crumbs, my dear. “And as for being cold, I will tell you how to keep warm until it grows warm again.

Even old Madam Spar- row, who is always cross and nev er will let anyone have a worm without trying to take it away from them, yesterday saw we all were in the same trouble with the world all white, so she forgot to be cross and told us where to go to keep warm and how it would soon be over and all would be well again.” Copyright, 1918, by the McC!

EMEMBER these points in planning your garden. _ A gentle slope toward the south or south- east is most desirable for the production of éarly crops. It is an advantage to have protection on the north and northeast by either a hill, a group of trees or hedge, buildings, a tight board fence or a stone wall to break the force of the wind.

MIKE DONLIN ASPIRES TO PINCH-HITTING JOB NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—Mike Dolin, the former Giant idol, is all het up over Evers and other has-been’s sign- ing for major league jobs. Mike feels that he can play a little bit himeelf, although he ig past 35. Mike would like nothing better than a pinch-hitting berth with a ma- jor league club. He figures that his eyes are as good as ever and that he could pole one now and then that | would earn his salary. At the present time Dolin is en- gaged in moving picture work. He had an afternoon off from the studio yesterday and drifted into Peacock alley of the Waldorf. It would seem that with so man} young players in the war service, an in the American League, at least, no player limit this season, that there should be room for Dolin. If he only won half a dozen games during the season with timely blows he would earn his salary.
