FIRST U.S, WAR ANNIVERSARY McAdoo .Urges Popular’ Patriotic Demonstrations—lInterest Rate and Amount of Loan Not Decided. WASHINGTON, March °2 (By A. P.).—On April 6, the first anniver- sary of the entry of the United States into the war, the third Liberty Loan will open. There will be a campaign of three or four weeks. In ann§8unc- ing the date Secretary McAdoo said the amount of the loan, the interest rate and other features such as con- vertibility of bonds of previous is- sues, maturity and terms of pay- ment, are yet to be determined and that new legislation will be neces- sary before plans can be completed. The fact that the amount of the ,loan is dependent on -further legis- lation’ indicates that it will be for} more than~ $3,600,000,000, the re- mainder of authorized but unissued bonds, and the fact that certificates of indebtedness now being sold in anticipation of the loan beaf 4% per cent affords some indication of the interest rate. Secretary McAdoo strongly advo- cated popular demonstrations of pa- | triotiem on the day of the opening of the loan and the second year of the war. The nation already has ab- sorbed $5,808,000,000- of Liberty Bonds—$2,000,000,000 of the first issue and $3,808,000,000 of the sec- ond issue. In addition nearly $1,400.- 000,000 of certificates of indebted- ness to be met from proceeds of the third loan, and about $1,125,000,000 outstanding. Girl Seized by Man on Street.

City, and Walter H. Kilpatrick, Med- ical Corps, National Guard, Haven, must stand trial by courtmar- hospital conditions at Camp Doni- phan, Ok., prompted by the death there on Dec. 28 of Private Albert Hestwood of Liberal, Kan. MHest- wood succumbed to spinal menin- gitis. The courtmartial was ordered yes- terday by Secretary Baker after the report of the investigating officer had been received. **ajor-General W..M. Wright, tcom- manding, and JI rigadier-General L. G. Berry, who commanded at. the camp while Gen. Wright was on an observation tour in -France, have been called on by Secretary Baker for reports a®to how such conditions as were found in the camp hospitals came to exist. The report admits that the body but says that spinal meningitis “‘be- body was wrapped in sheets and cot- ton to conform to the shipping laws.”’ The report also states that the father’s charges were substantially correct and that there’ was an insuf- ficient supply of bed linen and of ex- perienced attendants and that pa- tients went for long periods without a bath or without even having their hands and faces washed. U. R, CONFEREES TC CONSIDER an NEEDS OF CAR CREWS FIRST Working Conditions and Hours of iService Will Be Adjusted Before Wages Are Taken Up. Parleys between the United Rail- ways Co. and representatives of its employes in the Amalgamated As- sociation of Street and Electric Rail- way Employes. on wages and work- ing conditions in the contract sub- mitted by the men after the recent strike, were begun yesterday and will be continued today. It was decided to consider first the needs of the motormen and con- ductors to the exclusion of other trades covered by the contract. The discussion of wages will be held in abeyance pending an answer.-to the company’s petition to the Missouri Public Service Commission request- ing the right to increase its revenue by increased fares. It was learned that working con- ditions and hours of service will first be adjusted and that the employes will give the company ample time to arrange its finances so that it can meet the wage demands. The em- ployes are demanding an eight-hour day as the basis for pay and 40 to 45 cents an hour. The present wage is 26 to 32 cents an hour. The company already has‘an- nounced that it would grant an in- crease in wages of 10 cents an hour provided the Public Service Com- mission approved its petition, and union leaders say the company can- not consistently recede from this promise. The petition of the com- ‘pany is being contested before the commission by the city on the ground that the commission has na jurisdiction.

PARIS, March 2 (By A. P.).— Two historic documents, one show- ing the German Government's de- termination to force war upon France, and the other setting forth the reasons which induced Germany to take Alsace-Lorraine were made public yesterday by Stephen Pichon, the French Foreign Minister. The Minister was speaking at the Sor bonne upon the anniversary of the protest made by representatives of the National Assembly of Alsace- Lorraine against annexation to Ger- many. “IT will. establish by documents,” said M. Pichon, ‘“‘that the day the Germans deliberately rendered in- evitable the most frightful of wars they tried to dishonor us by the most cowardly complicity in the ambush into which they drew Europe. I will establish it in the revelation of a document that the German Chan- cellor, after having drawn up, pre- served carefully, and you will see why, in the most profound mystery of the most secret archives. “We have known only recent of of attempt to disprove it. It bears the signature of Bethmann-Hollweg (German Imperial Chancellor at the outbreak of the war), and the date July 31, 1914. On that .day Von Schoen (German Ambassador to France) was charged by a telegram from his Chancellor -to notify us of | a state of danger of war with Rus- its authenticity and it defies any sort | | | | sia, and to ask us to remain neutral, | giving us 18 hours in which to re-. ply.

A reply to, this last question must reach here’ before Saturday afternoon at 4 | o’elock. ee | ty said M. Pichon, Von Moltke, declared on the morrow of the treaty of Frankfort,” added M. Pichon on taking up the question of Alsace-Lorraine, “that it would require no less than 50 years to wean the heart of her lost provinces from France,”’ M. Pichon contrasted the German acceptance then that the provinces were in reality French, with reiter- ated pretensions of German states- men since and the assertions of for- mer Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg, and the present Chancellor, Count von Hertling, that most of the prov- inces were always German. The Foreign Minister made public for the first time the full text of a letter written by Willlam I, the grandfather of the present Emperor, to Empress Eugenie. The letter is dated Versailles, Oct. 26, 1870. “After the immense sacrifices for her defense,’’ read M. Pichon, “Ger- many desires to be assured that the next war will find her better pre- pared to repel the aggression upon which we can count as soon as France shall have repaired her forces and gained allies. This is the mel- oncholy consideration alone and not a desire to augment my country, whose territory is sufficiently great, that obliges me to insist upon the cession of territories that has no ‘lother object than to throw back to the starting point the French armies that, in the future, will come to at- tack us.” After reading this passage, M. Pichon asked: “Can one better destroy the legend Von Hertling tries to establish that the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine had for its origin in the minds of its authors the wish to return to Ger- many German provinces of which she had been dispossessed by French usurpation ?”’ Bismarck Confirmed Ruler. The Foreign Minister points out that Prince von Bismarck, in sub- sequent conversations with the Mar- quis de Gabriac, the French ¢harge d’ affaires at Berlin, confirmed what his sovereign had written in his own hand. M. Pichon then cited the words of Frederick II when entering Silesia: “I take possession first. I shall always find pedants to prove my right,’”’ and M. Pichon added: “But the rights of the German over our provinces have never been _ proved by any pedant because it | } ' ‘is how | Germany wanted peace at the mo-' ment when she declared war. _is how sincere she was in pretending that we obliged her to take up arms'| for her defense. she intended to make us pay for our baseness if we had had the infamy) That | That is the price| | j to repudiate our signature as Prus- | sia repudiated hers by tearing up the treaty that guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium. “Our enemy in the war of 1871.

Pichon recalled that from the _time of Louis XIV, Alsace-Lor-raine had been known generally as French, and quoted the words of Gen. Maximilien Foy, 150 years | years later, when he said: “Tf ever the love of all that is great an@ generous weakens in the hearts of the inhabitants of old France it will be necessary that they cross the Vosges, come to Alsace and temper again their patriotism ane, their energy.’ “What was true under the reste« ration,’””’ added M. Pichon, “is none the less true now.” . El Marca Pedro Cigar, 6c. Quality and size warrants the price. —ADV, Do You Know How to Accomplish These Things?

SEES DRY NATION IN 1920 Speaks About Toronto Affair, Saying 5000 in Hall Wanted Disturbers Removed. William Jennings Bryan, former Secretary of State, stopping in St. Louis today on his way to Hope, Ark., on a lecture tour, predicted that nation-wide prohibition will be in effect in the United States within the next two years and that Missour! will be voted “‘dry” by the next Legis- lature, whose regular session opens in January, 1919. “Missouri will elect a dry Legis- lature despite St. Louis,” said Bryan. “St. Louis will be impotent and will, not be permitted to ‘count out’ the opponents of liquor, as has been done, in the past.” Speaks of Toronto Incident. Asked about his expereince in To- ronto, Canada, Thursday night. when he was hooted and heckled by re- turned Canadian soldiers so that it was impossible for him to deliver an address on prohibition, Bryan said: “T am glad you asked me about that. The space given to the Toronto incident shows one of the incurable faults of the newspapers. They give publicity to the exception rather than to the rule. They give space to assault and battery, but they have no room to tell about neighbors living together peacefully. the divorces, but say nothing about the happy families. So it was in the Toronto instance. The papers gave more space to the 65 disturbers than to the 6000 in the dudience who wanted to hear me and wanted the 65 disturbers removed from the hall. “I doubt if I ever spoke to as large an audience in the United States with as few unfriendly hearers. But cpposition here is different and not like that indulged in by British au- diences which have a way of ‘heck- ling’ speakers. A man on the plat- form told me he counted the dis- turbers and he said there were 65. This was only a small proportion of the returned soldiers, who must num-~ ber 2000 or 3000 in Toronto. Assails “Wet” Newspapers. “The disturbance was instigated by two ‘wet’ newspapers in To- ronto which carry liquor advertise- ments. One paper which objected to my visit carried in the same is-" sue a full page advertisement for a liquor company. “They did’t state their real rea- son for interrupting my speech. They are like Demetrius, the silversmith who appealed to his class.” Here Bryan took a Bible from his pocket and read about Demetrius from the “Acts.” en Paul tried to speak,” he said, “the followers of Demetrius would cry out: ‘Great is Diana.’ What they meant was that if Christianity were to take the place of paganism they would lose their profitable oc- cupation of making silver Te of the pagan gods and goddesses. is) Toronto newspapers knew that if the liquor business should be wiped out they would lose the profit from liquor advertisements.

I would 2 permit this, as I feared it mi cause panic or injury. If robe two other meetings in Toronto was respectfully listened to.” Dispatqhes from Toronto day stated that Bryan began speech by saying: “My country subscribed $7,000,000,000 and an army of 1,500,000 men.” It. stated that cries of “Lusit “Belgium,”: and “Pro-German,” terspersed with cat-calls, hisses patriotic songs from organi groups of discharged veterans lowed him to add only one sen in seven minutes of struggle for « hearing. Bryan then stated to thi press: “My patriotism is ‘ist. tory to the President, Cabinet Congress of the United States.” Watches ani Wienwuds on credit. Bros. Co.. 274 (1. 28 N Oth ot.

CRUSE RETIRED, BECAME SUPPLY AGENT Army Contractor Declares Judge Advocate Consented to His Hiring Officer. | : | CHICAGO, March 2 (By A. P.).— Henry H. Lippert and his son Ralph H. Lippert, who were arrested last night on charges of conspiring to defraud the Government, and with whose case has been linked the name of Brigadier-General Thomas Cruse, U. S. A., were admitted. to bail in bonds of $10,000 each today. Arraignment was set for March 12, and while awaiting arrival of sure- ties the elder Lippert discussed the charges. ‘The wrong construction has been placed on my relations with Gen. Cruse and the Quartermaster’s De- partment,” he said. “I have known Gen. Cruse for 14 years and have al- ways found him an_upright gentle- man and a real soldier. “IT have handled contracts for' army supplies in the neighborhood | of $1,000,000, but I obtained them | on the basis of the lowest competi- | tive bids. Furthermore, Gen. Cruse | had retired from the army when he! became my agent, and he obtained | the consent of the Judge Advocate- | General to become our Washington agent. He did nothing in our ora est and had no opportunity to do| anything until after he had retired | from the Quartermaster’s Depart-' nyent. I will prove, at the proper | gram from “Ralph to Henry,” Nev. 1, time, that our relations’ have been | entirely honorable.” The Lipperts were arrested last | ‘night after a raid on their offices seizure under a Federal search and warrant asked for by Capt. Melvin kB, Ericson of the United States army intelligence bureau. in his state- ment before Commissioner Mason asking for the warrant, it was charged by Capt. Ericson that Gen. Cruse had admitted to him in Wash- ington that in January he had re- ceived $1500 from the elder Lippert and that an agreement had been en- tered into by which Lippert was to pay him $300 a month. _ Papers Are Seized. A large number of papers were taken possession of by the United States Marshals who conducted the raid. Federal officials said in the crrsory examination of some of the papers a number of names of officers in the army, as well as men prom- ivent in public and business life were mentioned. It was added that the r.ention of th names in letters aud documents did not necessarily | connect the individuals with any -il- legal deals with the Lipperts or Gen. Cruse, : No estimate was: given of the amount involved in the charges that the Government has been defrauded. The contracts handled by the Lip- perts were mostly for woolen’ blan- kets. » Among the papers sought by the Federal authorities and specified in the warrants are: Numerous letters; dates given; to and from E. L. Ericksofi. United States Arsenal, St. Louis, Mo., and one in regard to the visit of Gen. Cruse to the arsenal.

Our reserve in civilian life / United States must stand shoulder to 'shoulder to preserve the unity of grim determination which is the guiding spirit of our armed forces on foreign soil. As an American citizen I hope I are pretty-well fed up on ourselves. Far be it from me to assert that we are net justified under ordinary con- ditions in agreeing with our Able statesman, Representative Joe Cannon of Illinois, that our couytry is a “hell of a success.’’” We are\not living today under ordinary condi- tions, And the trouble is that a consid- erable proportion. of our people \do not realize that conditions are plus extraordinary; they have not reached conviction that the very foundations of civilization are in dan- , ger. Undoubtedly their novnrealiza- tion of the basic position of the Unit-’ ed St®es in the war has been ac- centuated by the hardships, associat- ed with extraordinary weather condi- tions, which have, so t® speak, “‘bust- ed right in their face’ at home. A heatiess, wheatless, meatless. light- of New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Keokuk, Kalamazoo or Atlanta may be prone to forget that we have an army in France.

As the people of the United States know, through the war maps, that the so-called western front extends roughly, along the eastern boundary of France between the Belgian and |Swiss frontiers. military ethics for American soldiers, in France, must travel across the width of the country be- fore they can be regarded as essen- tial units in the business brought them here—namiely, fighting business.

Should Callan’'s layer’s lose both of the Kames, either Soldan or Cleveland could tie for the leadership by win- ning their last two contests.

President Rickey said this that Sherdell, accompaned by Ames, Doak, Watson and Packard, be sent to San An- tonio a week ahead of the main Car- @inal equad which departs March 16. Gherdell is one of Rickey’s best for the coming season. When tey bought him last year he had @® record of 10 games lost and two ‘won. Thereafter he won 11 straight es.

However, one of the disappoint- ments of the meet will be the fact that Allen Lincoln,: the 190-pound star of ‘the Webster Groves High School teary, will be unable to com- pete. Lincoln was injured in a bas- ket ball game against Jerseyville a week ago, and has not had on an athletic shoe of any kind since then.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 2. —Fred Fulton knocked out Jim Har- per in the second round of a sched- uled eight-round bout here last night, with a terrific right uppercut to the chin, the prettiest knockout blow ever witnessed in a local arena. The force of the punch lifted Harper off his feet, sent him against and | through the ropes and the victim | was saved a 10-foot trip through the air to the floor outside the ring by his seconds, who eased‘ his fall as} Fulton had used |. his left exclusively up to the final’ punch and Harper did not seem pre- pared to expect a right. The’ fight was unequal from the start, though’ Harper, six feet three inches tall and weighing 212 pounds, looked every whit a match for Ful- ton, with his eix feet five and 213 tonnage. As the two walked ta, the center of the ring, one who did not know the records of the two would have anticipated a merry battle, Harper was nervous at the begin- ning and slipped to the mat in the very first rush. The two men sparred through the first round, Fulton’s vicious left jabs plainly worrying his opponent. Fultoh played both on body and stomach at will. Knockdown Precedes Knockout. Fulton shot a left to Harper's face as the second round opened, which brought a stream from Harper's nose. ‘Fulton began tashammer the Kansan in the In-fighting and it was evident that the end was near. A knockdown from a hard left to the jaw preceded the knockout by a few moments. When the knockout came it was so decisive that the crowd did not wait for Harper to come to his feet. but made a break for the doors. Warper was uncon- scioug for several minutes after thie crowd had left. The victor left tonight for’sSt. Louis where he shows Sunday. He stated that he believed that Willard would accept the New Orleans offer for a 20-round fight and expected to meet the champion in the early summer. a teen a tap we and M ‘face -- AE LAA ALOE I | | ‘Two Cantonments fay to participate in the annual in- ‘door meet of the Kansas City Ath- Send Athletes to | ' K.C.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 2.— From more.than a dozen State uni- versities, colleges, academic schools and from two national army camps, track athletes were arriving here to- letic Club tonight. Although the war has made heavy | inroads upon the number of track stars, many of those who appeared here last vear now being in mili- tary service, club officials said that @ll indications pointed to a success- ful meet, with the -possibility that records may be broken. Track men from. the following schools were included in the list of entrants: University of Missouri; University of Kansas; University of Nebraska; Kansas State Agricultural School; William Jewell College; Has- kell Institute.

She defeated /neck in an effort to catch the other e’cloek. | but Stecher broke it Without effort ation of the Intercollegiate track and and according to7 disappointed, as expressing vocally | from time to time their feeling. | As a matter of fact, however,.the bout was one of the best and most | scientific ever seen in this city, and | this was fully appreciated by those close to the ring. There was no loaf- ing at any time throughout the two | hours. Each held the other in such high respect that neither was willing to take any chances and thrills were few and far between. For 10 minutes when the bout be- | gan the two men stood head to head, straining at the back of each other's | off his guard and get a hold which | would gain the first advantage. | Stecher was the taller of the écal and looked slim as compared to his | opponent. He gave away 15 or 20) pounds in ‘weight, too, but so far as development went there was little to choose. Zbyszko Shows His Strength. Just when the crowd began to get impatient and to call for some action, Stecher slipped behind Zbyszko, bute the latter .crouched up to avoid the deadly scissors, and before the for- mer could get a hold of any conse- quence Zbyszko by sheer strength hurled him six feet across the ring. | In the next minute Zbyszko got be- hind and tried to apply the toe hold and they were head to head again on their feet, So it went for@the full two hours. The men were on the mat so little that the gallery wang grew impatient and called for more action. They were too far away to understand or appreciate the constant struggle go- ing on. In the last 15 minutes neither man was on the mat, but Stecher was try- ing the harder to all appearances, to bring his man down, while Zbyszko seemed content to take the defensive. | The old amphitheater creaked and groaned, fully 8000 being present. BRAMMEL ASKED MONEY, NOT MEDAL, FOR BOXER, STAG A. C. HEAD SAYS The wrangle between Tommy Prammel, former boxing instructor for the Stag Athletic Club, dnd the heads of the organization*which re- sulted in the withdrawal of George Silver, the boxer in question, from the club’s squad and in the resignagion of” Brammel, took a new turn, lasf€ night. ‘Secretary George Schmerz, of the club, stated that instead of asking for a medal on behalf of Silver, Bram- mel asked for $7 cash, which the club declined to pay because it was. against the rules of the A, A. U. to | give cash prizes. 3 Bramme! insisted that it was agreed | to give Silver a medal for participat- ing in a recent bout with George Puchta, at the Boosters’ meeting. This bout was stopped by the referee be- cause of rough work by both men. There being no winner no medal could be awarded. The club contends Brammel demanded a money equiva- lent for his medal. Brammel insists he only asked that a medal be given his protege. INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET TO BE RESTORED TODAY AT ANNUAL GATHERING NEW YORK, March 2.—The restor- field championship games is expected to be favorably voted upon at the an- nual meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association here today. The date and place for the meet will be assigned and it appears that the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania will be awarded the games, to be held at Franklin Field in May. It has been customary to hold the contests on the final Friday and Gat- urday of May, but it tis likely that the meet will be reduced to a one- day competition and an earlier date selected because many colleges will close earlier thah usual.

I see that the Water Commissioner is asking for permission to ‘ncrease cur water licenses about 26 per cent, thereby adding an additional burden to the house owner. This will eventually come out of each and every tenant. The whkter rates are already too high, considering the fact that the wa- ter is obtained from the river and not carried through an aqueduct for many. miles, as ‘is done in some cities. Nothing could be of greater advantage to a city for health and along business lines than cheap water. Instead of raising our water license, our watchword should be “conservation.” Ry putting the water office on a business ba- sis, instead of a political basis, thereby éliminating unnecessary clerks and auto- mobiles, we would be enabled, instead o*: ‘raising ihe water rates to probably lower them. I hope that your paper will take this matter up and prevent the increase. SQUARE DEAL. ——/ A Striker’s View. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to letter signed “One of 3000 Employes of Famous & Barr,’’ he has as- sumed quite a responsibility in writing for 3000 employes, but some of his statements regarding recreation farms and so forth, are true in so much as for the larger paid help, such as buyer and assistant buy- ers are concerned, but tell me how can a girl making.$7 a week, paying board and clothing herself pay $1.50 for recreation from Saturday night till Sunday 7 p. m. Another thing, vegetables are raised on these farms which these stores serve in their cafes during the summer months. As for an expense to the firms, they are not. For no department store in St. Louis would tolerate expense for employes. Another thing in regard to sick bene- fits and doctor, this is not charity. We employes pay every month our dues toward that. As far as the conditions being exagger- eted and grossly misconstrued, they are not. I myself have worked five years in one department store and am now receiv- ing $7 a week, but would not be getting that it I hadn't threatened to quit and go elsewhere. This is really the only means a department store employe has to get an increase in his or her salary. Some citizens of St..\Louis have stated that we strikers do not appear to need more money. But please stop to think. A working girl must buy clothes that will wear, Cheap clothes do not wear and look very shabby in a short time. Then, too, if you do not wear a rather good-looking waist and skirt you are put down in the basement to sell, where the pay is $6 per week. ‘ A LADY STRIKER (PROUD TO SAY). Men Doing Women’s Work. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Recently, while in your city; I saw men, big, strong fellows, waiting on tables in the hotels and restaurants, hese men THE MINIMUM WAGE. In adopting a minimum wage scale for their employes, the laundries affiliated with the Asso- clated Laundry Owners of St. Louis have taken a step that should make for stability and good will in their establishments. The principle of the minimum wage.has been embodied in statutes by the states of Washing- ton, Colorado, Oregon, California, Utah, Wiscon- sin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, Arkansas. Most of the state laws ap- ply to women workers only but in some cases to workers of both sexes. The Kederal Supreme Court has held such laws to be constitutional. There is a bill before Congress providing for a * | minimum wage for all United States employes. The weekly wage of $9 which is the standard set for a minimum wage for working women, was fixed before the war, early in 1914. Undoubtedly, minimum wage laws enacted today would take into consideration the tremendous increase in the cost of living, and a higher standard would be set. Numerous investigations have shown that wages less than the amount required for health and comfort tend to demoralize the worker, male or female. They prevent any exercise of thrift. Workers paid starvation wages must live from hand to mouth, constantly in debt, and liable to be thrown into the care of charitable associations at any timg Such wages bring about conditions that result in the spread of tuberculosis and dis- eases due to malnutrition. They are ag menace to the community. The workers are justified in organizing and de- manding living wages. They are not only acting for themselves in so doing, but ~ posterity and the country. mare | Living wages mean greater prosperity for the merchant and manufacturer as well as for the army of workers. They mean contentment and happiness, good will and progress all around. r= =] rr PRUSSIANS HEADING FOR SIBERIA. The doubt entertained by intelligent Russians and some allied leaders about the wisdom of send- ing a Japanese force to protect entente interests in a region so intimately associated with past Japanese imperialistic ambitions as Northeastern Asia is not unjustified. However, if an American force were made avail- able to co-operate with the Japanese a strong as- surance would be given that the movement would be begun and ended with no selfish national pur- pose. Now, when the Bolsheviki have been spurred at least to attempted resistance to German invasion, would be an opportune time to make known a plan for co-operation against German aims in the Siberian areas. And if the Bolsheviki should fall from power within a short period, the gratitude of all other elements in Russia would be earned by an allied effort, started promptly and executed successfully for preventing Prussianism from ‘adding the Siberian railroad and a Pacific base to its resources. If it takes Petrograd, Prussian- ism will do that very thing within 60 days there- after, unless new and effective means of checking them are devised? Gen. Foch expressed a sound view ee he said that the allies, invariably too late in other important dispositions when national rights have been affected, must avoid their past blunders of orders in the surrounding region. = = * i a a SEEDS OF DISSENSION. The moat significant phrase in the news dis- patch telling of increasing Austro-German discord is the one which says: “A serious conflict has broken out between the courts of Berlin and Vienna.” It, has been widely understood for some time that there was an increasing’ gulf between the war aspirations in the popular mind of the two empires, but it had been supposed that the pan- German militarists surrounding the persons of the Emperors maintained an entente cordiale with each otler as the only adequate means of resist- ing the growing strength of their respective lib- eral oppositions. Continuation of such an under- standing seems indeed to be vitally necessary ‘to the whole junker program. Nevertheless, if the latest reports are to be credited, a serious breach is beginning. In his could be at this time, when man power is | £0 much needed, doing men’s work in the | fields or in the factories. The same condition found in St. Louis ts found elsewhere in the land. The na- tion calls for men to bufid ships, to manu- facture munitions, to raise wheat, corn, hogs and food, and here are big, stalwart gladly do. I think it would be a fine thing, as wll as a patriotic act, if you would suggest that women be employed to perform the dining-room service at least during the period of the war. DRAKE WATSON.

To add to their anger, the Austrian Govern- tion in the press of their country of a Polish mani- festo which openly challenges German good faith | in dealing with Polish national aspirations. When It is remembered that Polish control is an age- old bone of contention between Austria and Ger- many, that Austrian and German interests in Po- land hdve always clashed, it is not hard to see how this matter has increased the already consider- | able junker suspicion that Austria is growing more and more discontented with the vassalage she has been compelled to endure because of the war. It would be unwise, of course, to be too hopeful that the present situation will develop into an early break. Austria is still too dependent upon German military assistance. The Rumanian ques- tion must be settled and there is a big allied army at Saloniki, continually menacing her from the Southeast. Italy is still knocking at ‘her doors on the Southwest, her mind fixed on Trent, Trieste, Pola and the Dalmation coast. And yet, in spite of this, one possibility must | ’ delay in Russia’s case.

Perhaps it is this which has inflamed the German court party until it is already muttering threats about settling the present difficulty by “‘vi- olent measures.” —_o——______—— IMPOLITE TO OUR MR. BRYAN. Mr. Bryan seems to have had a rather disagree- able time of it at Toronto. Presumably the af- fronts offered him were due to the charge that, while vigorous protest was being made publicly over his signature to the sinking of the Lusitania, he was disavowing in private the purpose of ‘the paper to the Austrian Ambassador. But that charge has been repeatedly denied. If the British orators and lecturers sent over here literally in swarms, to eat our luncheons and dinners and explain, somewhat tediously at times, British viewpoints on the war, have been received in the United States not only patiently and re- signedly, but even hospitably, it would seem that one American on an oratorical mission might be similarly received in Canada. : This country tolerated Mr. Balfour for several weeks. Why couldn’t Canada manage to tolerate for one night Mr. Bryan? nothing that could possibly be as offensive to the British as Mr. Balfour’s record in respect to Ireland and South Africa was to Americans prior td the new relations resulting from our entrance on the war. —__—--—— ——_ © ¢e —_______ -—- GOVERENMENT-OWNED MAIL TUBES. The continuance of the mail tubes under Gov- ernment ownership and operation in six American cities, with extension of the tubes in St. Louis, is recommended by the commission which investi- gated the subject. \ Much of the opposition to the tubes undoubt- edly dates back to allegations madé some years ago of excessive profits and favoritism under the system as operated by private contract. However, the contract plan only followed the analogy of railroad mail service and terminal wagon deliv- eries by private contract. And in the stage of | construction the contract plan enabled the Gov- ‘ernment to avoid the embarrassments of deal- ing directly with city council and municipal offi- cials for franchise rights in streets. | Purchase of the tubes from their owners at a fair price will accomplish the double purpose of silencing crititism and opposition and preserving for the public’the undoubted usefulness of the tubes. With Government ownership, only the actual cost of maintenance and operation will have to be met. greater availability in all kinds of weather and all conditions of street traffic are undeniable. With the increasing congestion in all large cities, they can make deliveries at times when de- liveries by other means will be impossible.

And it is a poor time for such activities. But it is also a poor time for profiteer- ing and the use of trust power to suppress small competitors.

There have been uneasy move- ments among the people in Leipzig, a great industrial center, and the Volkzeitung, a Socialist paper there, has been put under permanent pre- ventive censorship. All these movemehts start with the question of the price of food. The Prussian Junkers, however, are really benefited by the war. They get, even with a high “stop price,’’ three times as much as formerly fo: their agricultural products and pay only a small sum, 60 . pfennig daily, for the prisoners of war who now work their fields. They may, in ad- dition, have to pay the keep of the priseners, but that is very small. Gamp commanders are allowed sixty- six pfennig per head per diem. ae ae AM working hard to get British There is much talk of peace. The shares of the Hamburg-American line and the shares of the Hamburg- South American line have risen enor- mously in price from 56 to 140 in one case.

For obvious reasons only the Secret Service guard know over what course the day’s ride will be taken, and for the same reason they seldom are taken over the same course twice. Mr.. Wilson is a nexcellent horse- man, has a good “seat” in the saddle and makes a most distinguished fig- ure on a horse: The President rides three gaits, the walk, the trot’ and the canter, and he will not ride any class of horse other than a high type of thoroughbred, which must have good action, styte and mettle. Sometimes this ‘‘mettle’’ exhibits itself in quite unexpected ways and times armd places.

Turning about, the President re- turned to the waiting party. <As he joined them ‘he smilingly remarked, “I think I shall have to apologize for this horse. He is not a good sol- dier. At any rate he certainly does not appreciate a salute.”’ time they have been looking for an excuse to expel him. The dystuff and other chemical manufacturers are getting quite scared about possible American coin- petition. I hope the Democrats will give protection to these new indus- tries and will also enact some “anti- dumping”’ legislation. The German cities are adding to the general weight of debt by incur- ring large debts for war purposes, such as relief of soldiers’ families, etc. The former Turkish Ambassador, who is against the Young Turks, is living here. He is afraid to go back and also the Germans are keeping him in stock in case the Young Turks go out of power, and possibly to stir up trouble in Egypt, as his wife is a daughter of one of the Khedives. There are lots of suspicious look- ing Spaniards about, possibly cook- ing up an attack on Gibraltar. Talk of Indemnities. Any German peace talk includes payment of a large subsidy by En- gland, Russia and France; Italy to be left to Austria to finish. The export of gold has now been formally forbidden. There is no doubt whatever that the population in the conquered por- tion of Poland has been for a long time in need of food. Our military attache, Col. Kuhn, just back from Serbia, says the Ger- mans have, literally, stacks of am- niunition and¢had begun preparing last spring for the present attack, even little mountain wagons and new harness being all ready. Only about six German corps are there. The hate against Americans here is deep-seated and bitter. Hans Win- terfeldt, a prominent German bank- e1, with American citizenship, just came in to tell me that at the annual meeting today of the great Allege- meine Electricitaets Gesellschaft a fight was started against him be- cause of his American citizenship, and he was not, therefore, re-elected a director.

LITTLE experiment in optics ’ which the French Dr. Canton- net calls ‘‘the hole in the hand”’ is not merely an oddity but is being used as a quick measure for the co- ordination of the eyes. Make a roll of paper or take a cardboard tube and put it to one eye; place the hand that is not hold- ing the tube open and alongside it about six or eight inches distance How to See Through the Hole in Your Handa, from the other eye. Keep both eyes open and look straight ahead. One eye sees through the tube, the other “eye sees the hand. But, the two) images are fused in the brain and it seems as if the hand had a round hole in it, through which the land- scape is seen.

One eye may be affected and ie 3 a alli aa ? f acct | What the Normal Eyes See in This Expriment. it may look too far outward or too. far inward, too far upward or too far downward, or both eyes may be affected correspondingly or differ- ently. In most of these cases the person affected does not actually see double, for the brain refuses to notice the impressions sent to it by one of the eyes, and the person sees just as he would if he had but one eye. If, however, he closes the good eye, the brain accepts what the bad eye sends it. In this way he sees ‘well, but has lost binocular vision.

Food to Grow Vegetables ---Fertilize--- No. 7—Post-Dispatch Home | Garden Series. HE soil for vegetable growing should be rich and well sup- plied with humus or organic matter. High quality vegetables can not be produced on poor soil, for to be crisp and tender they must make a quick growth. This can be had only when the soil contains sufficient available plant food, and is in good physical condition. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer because it -furnishes both plant food and organic matter. Unleached stable manure, in which straw or finely cut corn fodder has | been used as litter, ig the best. Ma-| _nure in which shavings or leaves have been used is not as good. City | street sweepings are frequently avail- able at low cost, but must be used with care as they are liable to. con- tain large amounts of mineral. oil from the decomposition of paving material and drippings from automo- biles. The manure should be applied | to the freshly plowed or | decay before planting time. If very |coarse*manure is used it should be | plowed under. Where manure is not. available, | some leguminous crop, such as cow- peas, soy beans, vetch or crimson | clover, should be turned under to supply humus and a part of the nitrogen. In addition to the humus added to the soil through the growth of these crops, the cultivation neces- sitated by their growth: tends to make fertilizing elements, especially potash, available in many soils. The use of commercial fertilizers is advisable in some cases, but owing to the scarcity and high price of both nitrogen and potash the use of com- | 'mercial fertilizers containing amounts of these materials large is not advisable unless these elements can not be secured through the use of! manures.

The nitrogen may be had from cottonseed meal, dried blood, fish Scrap or tankage. The phos- phoric aci® may be had in the form of bone meal or acid phosphate. The | potash may be had in the form of hardwood ashes, or some of the pot- ash salts. These, however, are very high in price and hard to obtain. The following formula is suggested for a good garden fertilizer: oe yg 8 Ar “to he Chicken or pigeon manure. 3 ‘Gene 0 Iba. Acid phosphate.............. 1000 lbs. 6 lbs.

Fertilizers should be applied to the soil as soon as it is in condition, and harrowed in. If desired to make later application, after the plants are set, the material should be applied between the rows a few inches from the plants. The use of lime is advisable, es- pecially on heavy soils. It is neces- sary to use it in cennection with green manures or the soil will be- come acid. It may be applied in the form of air-slaked lime, which is usually a mixture of the hydroxid and carbonate of calcium, as ground ime, or as ground limestone. The ground limestone is slower in its at- tion than the oxid or the carbonate. From 5 to 10 pounds of the ground limestone and half this amount of the ground, burned lime is a suf- You see only the hand, and not the view through the tube.

Of a sudden—peace talk. The Chancellor is waiting to address the Reichstag, waiting to get the senti- ment of the members who are all in Berlin, and then swim with it. Many members, who are not Socialists, fa- vor peace, and the Chancellor will be forced to make some sort of a ‘declaration on why they are fighting and for what. A Reichstag member told me the Reichstag will say and do things it did not dream of doing six months ago.

HE matter can be even more minutely subdivided, for there exists in the brain a small cen- ter for each and every tone in music. As our ears and minds are familiar only wit hthe scale of tones and haif the little centers for these tones, have been developed, but there are peoples whose scalé is divided Mtv quarter tones and eighth tones, and they enjoy their music better than ours, while we cannot understand it at all, because the tiny centers in our brains that are for these quarter and eighth tones have never been devel- oped. One meets occasionally a mu- sician with an ear so acute that if you sound a note on a violin and ark him what it is, hé is able to answer that it is, for instance, A-flat, but a’ quarter tone above pitch, or C-sharp, an eighth tone fiat. And this with absolute wertainty. In this man’s brain the tiny centers for the tones are all developed. HUS there is in the brain a sort T of tonic ladder for the ensem- ble of tones that form the scaje. Musical deafness may exist in any part of this scale.
