MOSCOW, Thursday, March 14 (By A. P.).—President Wilson's mes- sage of sympathy to the Russian peo- ple was received with marked ap- plause when it was read tonight at the opening session of the all-Rus- sian Congress of Soviets. The Con- gress immediately adopted a resolu- tion of appreciation. . The resolution reads: “The all-Russian Congress of Soviets expresses its appreciation to the American people and first of all the laboring and exploited classes ‘in the United States for the message sent by President Wil- son to the Congress of Soviets in this time when the Russian Social- ist Soviet Republic is living through most difficult trials. The, Russian republic uses the oc- casion of the message from: Presi- dent Wilson to express to all peo- ples who are dying and suffering from the horrors of this imperial- istic War, its warm sympathy and firm conviction that the - happy time is near when the laboring masses in all Bourgeoise countries will throw off the capitalist voke and establish a Socialist state of society, which is the only one capable of assuring a permanent and just peace as well as the cul- . ture and well being of all who toll. The Congress is being Reld in the splendid banquet hall of the nobility club where former Emperors often Soldiers, sailors and peasants formed a majority of the 1164 delegates present. M. Sverdloff, chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the congress presided. The Bolshevik members number 732 and there are 38 Social Fevolutionists of the left. Premier Lenine made the principal speech and received a great ovation.” He reviewed the history of the revo- lution and emphasized the necessity of signing a peace treaty. M. Tchit- cherin, the acting Foreign Minister, read the peace terms. It was decided that peace should be considered first and after that the permanent remov- al of the capital from Petrograd and the election of a new Centraf Execu- tive Committee. Strong forces of guards were about the hall but there were no attempts at disorder. Mos- cow is quiet, Bolshevik control ap- parently being absolute. MASSED FLEET AIR RAID HAS. GIVEN WAY TO SOLO ATTACK Says Neither Guns Nor Defensive Planes Can Stop Man Who Knows Business. LONDON, March 16 (By A. P.).— “Both the Germans and ourselves § have to admit that neither guns nor | defensive planes can always stop a raider who knows his business and is equipped with a first-class machine gun,” writes an aeronautical expert commenting in the Evening Standard on the recent air raids on London. “But there is a tremendous change in the conditions governing the raids as compared with those existing less than a year ago. Of the many air- planes which may now approach/ London very few indeed get through. The massed fleet raid has given away to attacks by single machines or very small groups. Never again are ‘we likely to have the humiliating spec- tacle of a big formation of enemy machines moving ‘ with impunity above our capital. “The single or small group of raid- ers is most elusive, and no agency yet put into practice has been able to stop this‘form of attack. The heav- fest barrage is jumped over by a ‘ daring pilot, and, so immense is the sky space and so defective is visibi]- ity at night, that great fleets of pur- suers often fail to bring him down. But our airplanes are growing more skillful in breaking up the fleets, and experience, aided by more liberal use .of very fast ma- chines, we should be able to givo every solo raider a terrific chase from the coast to London and back again.”’ FIRE DAMAGES BED WAREHOUSE Loss to South Ninth Street Plant Es- timated at $50,000. Fire of unexplained origin in a box car on a siding in the rear of the Simmons Bed Co. warehouse, at 824 South Ninth ‘street, last night, spread to the building, a four-story brick structure. It had reached all parts of the building before it was extinguished, and, according to fire-- men, virtually all the stock of beds PY ‘and bedding was damaged. The police estimated the damage at about $50,000, though Miss I. C. | Davis of 3965 Shaw avenue, assistant to the manager, declined to place an _ estimate on the loss. Gilbert L.

Railway and impressed them into use for. the transportation of its forces; in an- other case seven colliers had come up the Seine to Rouen under a Ger- man permit, and, having discharged their cargoes, were boarded by par- ties of the German military, who notified the captain in each case that the ship was required by the Jerman military authorities. Tho captains protested that their vessels were neutral vessels, pointing to the English flags, but they were never- theless ejected. The vessels were scuttled in the Seine, with the object of blocking the approach of French gunboats. The flag of one of the ships (the Sylph) is said to have been trampled upon and used as a boot wiper by the party which board- ed it. The crews reached Newhaven in a state of destitution and English public opinion was intensely aroused. Controversy Ensued. The British law officers did not deny the rightfulness of the seizure of the ships, but a bitter controversy with Germany did ensue with re- spect to the manner of the exercise of the right. Bismarck expressed regret and admitted the claim of the owners and crews td indemnifica- tion, promising that if excesses had been committed which were not jus- tified by the necessity of defense the guilty persons would be punished. He contended further ‘that the measure in question, however. ex- PERSHING'S CASUALTY. LIST HAS 100 NAMES Wounded Arkansas Lieutenant Among 62 Announced by War Department. WASHINGTON, March 16 (By A.

The troops, both on the front and ‘the training areas, are on tiptoe for ‘the arrival of Secretary of War (Baker, the presence of whom in I'rance was announced in the Paris morning newspapers, and took the whole army by surprise. Word of the Secretaryv’s presence in France was spread rapidly by telephone from the bases to the furthermost outposts.

Sows who rise at 7 a. m. by the clock will be up 1 hour and 26 minutes after sunrise. If they quit work at 5 p. m., clock time, or 4 p. m. actual time, they will have 3 hours and 29 minutes of full day- light at the end of the day, as the sun will not set until 7:29, actual time, which will be 8:29. by the camouflaged clock. Thus a person who goes to bed at 9 by the clock will be retiring just 31 minutes after sunset. But this will be a long time before dark, as the official twilight tables show. On the longest day of the year, though the sun sets at 7:29, actual time, the twilight does not end un- til 9:28, which will be 10:28 by the clock. Thus a person retiring at 9 p. m. by the clock will be there one hour and a nalf before dark. When he rises at 7 a. m. by the clock he ‘will find that daylight has beaten him to it by three hours and 25 minutes, as morning twilight wale 21 gets up the milkman at 2:35, actual time, or 3:35, clock time. On Oct. the day named in the House bill as the end of the day- light saving period, the sun will rise at 6:21, actual time, or 7:21, clock time and will set at 5:06 actual time, or 6:06, clock time. It has not been decided whether the hour of starting baseball games in St. Louis will be changed in ac- cordance with the daylight saving plan. The usual starting time here in summer is 3;15 p. m. ‘Secretary Quinn of the Browns today said the wishes of the “fans’’ would govern, and that in other cities where day- light saving was in force last year w=, . the matter was left to a vote of those attending the games and they pre- ferred that no change be made in the starting hour. CLERK HELD UP IN HOTEL Another Robbed at Door; Two, Men Arrested Later in Saloon. Two men walked into the office of the.Commercial Hotel, 315 North Eleventh ‘street, at 10:30 o’clock last night, and held up the clerk, Sam Warren, taking $3.80. As they were departing they encountered John Nickerson, who lives at the hotel. Nickerson was slow in raising his hands when ordered to.do so, and one of the robbers hit him ‘on the head with a revolver. They took $17.35 from Nickerson and fled. An hour later police raided the saloon of .-Harry Weisman, fFour- teenth and C hestyyt streets, and ar- rested Charles Vanecek, a workhouse guard, living at 2810 Arsenal street, and Sam Delaney, 29 years old, of 1702 Wash street. ryving 2 loaded revolver.

The statement: of Lord Robert Ce- cil in London yesterday that no such proposals would be considered, eoupled with Marshal Hindenburg’s announcement that the German of- fensive would go on in view of the Entente’s unresponsive attitude to- wards Germany’s peace intentions, served to strengthen the view of i neutral diplomats who for some time have believed that some sort of un- derground ‘feelers’ have been going out. American officials and allied diplo- mats, while agreeing entirely with Lord Cecil's statement that no such terms can be considered, give no evi- dence of how much may be known here of what Hindenburg refers to as Germany’s peace intentions. Some of the neutral diplomats, however, have for some gime firmly believed that Germany would be willing even to give up Alsace-Lor- raiffte if she were permitted to retain | her hold on the Baltic provinces and the mineral belts in the other near- The general: by sections of Russia. current of opinion in diplomatic eir- cles for some time has turned toward the possibility of Germany attempt- ing to give way in the west and mak- ing up her losses in the east. The extent to which the question of fu- ture supplies if iron ore enter into Germany’s peace plans is indicated in latest advices received here show- ing discussion of the subject in Ger- many. These show that Germany knows production of ore within her own borders is limited. Sweden con- templates. an iron industry of her own which will require her own ore and the supply in Spain, upon which Germany also has drawn, is ap- proaching exhaustion. Consequently German officials contend that her supply of ore must logically come from the fields of Longwy and Briey, assuring ore for a century. Inasmuch as the allies are pledged by repeated declarations to the retsoration of France, diplo- mats see in proposed permanent ac- quisition of mineral belts in the Rus- sian provinces, Germany’s last hope of remaining a, military power. PEACE NOW WOULD BE CYNICAL, ARTHUR HENDERSON DECLARES Would Only Contain Seeds of Future War, Secretary of British Labor Party Tells Suffragists. LONDON, March 16 (By A. P.).— | The most critical stage of the whole | history of the war has been reached, inthe opinion of Arthur Henderson, secretary of the Labor party. Speak- ing in London at a woman suffrag- | ist celebration, Henderson added: “Il have been imagining during the | last few days, having regard to what has taken place in Russian, Why cannot we settle it? with you regarding colonies and we are prepared to make’ considerable | concessions to France with reference | to Alsace-Lorraine.’ “That would be a cynical peace, | containing the seeds of future war. It would not be a clean peace and it would not be an honorable peace. It would be the desertion of Russia and the women of this country must stand. against it like flint. “We are anxious for peace, the sooner. it comes the better. Lut let me say it must be a peace con- sistent with the ideals for which we entered the war.

The tribute, it is a hap- ripess to testify, was not due, as in some mentionable instances, to re- clame exploiting unworthiness; it was honestly won by the contralto’s great qualities as an artist, proved during long years of loyal good faith with the public, in an established rec- ord°of service returned in bounteous méasure for its favor. At the age of 56, the grandmother of nine, her evening were a recitative and aria from Handel's “Rinaldo;” the pro- foundly moving aria, “Ah, Mon Fils,” from Meyerbeer’s “Le Pro- phete;” Weatherly’s pathetic “Dan- ny Boy,” Salter’s poignant “Cry of Rachel” and “When the Boys Come Marching Home,” a militant song of the war. With the exception of two selections, one in Italian and the other in French, the entire program was in English, in the painstaking enunciation of which Mme. Schu- mann-Heink has notably improved. Miss Edith Evans played the piano accompaniments charmingly, and also provided the singer with a well- earned respite in the middle of the recital by offering a group of solos.

She appeared at first giance to take the crowd to her heart, and it was not slow in reciprocating the endearment. What in- others may be calculating coquetry is in her the spontaneous richly affectionate nature, and the public is infallible in detecting the distinction. : Again, as is her custom, she rein- forced her personal appeal by giving lavishly of the best of her art. Her program included no less than two arias, 12 songs and two encores. In range of style they were as spacious as in number, from the passion of an operatic excerpt to the tenderness of ' @ cradle song, from the tragedy of a mother’s cry for her lost child to the radiant“gayety of a waltz song, from the religious rapture of a hymn to the martial pealing of a national an- them. It would be !dle to deny that her voice is past its once glorious meri- dian. More than ever its fraying was manifest, in frequent rough and husky tones, in occasional lapses from pitch. But at its best it is still a superb organ, of a quality combin- ing opulence and sweetness, with low notes like those of a violoncello, and with a capacity in climaxes for clarion and sustained utterance. It also displayed a rather surprising agility and airiness of touch in the rapid decorations of Arditi's ‘“Bo- lero,’ together with a capitally exe: cuted trill, held evenly at length. Perhaps the most appealing of her vocal] feats is an exquisite pianissimo. But the genius of Mme. Schu- mann-Heink’s voice lies not so much it its instrumental beauty as in its perfection as an organ of interpreta- tion. Scarcely any other singer can outpouring of a| suit for $50,000 damages against his father-in-law, Henry C.

SHREVEPORT, La., March 16.— President Ball, owner, and Fielder _Jones, manager, this afternoon will have their first opportupity of see- ing the reconstructed St. Louis | Browns in action upon the field in | this city, when the Shreveport team of the Texas League is taken on. Manager Jones said he expected to use all of his players in the contest. However, a good guess on the first batting order of the season, and one that may possibly be seen in action on April 6, when the Cardinals are met at the National League grounds, follows: Tobin, right field. Maisel, third base. Sisler, first base. Gedeon, second base. Smith, left field. Hendryx, center field. Gerber, short. Severeid, catcher. Shocker, pitcher. From the above list of siawae it can easily be seen that the leader of the Browns still holds to his favorite idea regarding the general make up of a ball team, namely speed. Field- er firmly believes that a fleet-footed ball club, one that can get around the bases and score runs on the fewest hits is the proper Se for a winner. Jones Rides His Hobby. Jonés, it will be remembered, has a copyrighted slogan which he ut- tered on a pleasant afternoon when in Havana, Cuba. It runs as follows: “Give me a good pitcher and one run, and I'll win any ball game.” He has since often mentioned the same words, and for this reason it Has been taken for granted by those close to the Brownie leader that with a line-up possessed with speed and a reliable pitcher he is never in fear of bein unable to get the necessary run needled to win. The players listed in the line-up for Jones’ general scheme of play The first five mentioned players are ex- ceptionally fast. Tobin, Maisel, Sis- ler, Gedéon and Smith can all run the bases in record time. Hendryx, opponent for a boxing program to be | while not a slow man by any means, ‘is not as swift-on foot as the boys who top him in the line-up; but the): former Yanke will more than make up for this lack of speed by long base knocks. Gerber cannot be classed as A 10-second man in getting around the running paths, but Walter is one of the boys possessing the reputation of invariably coming through with the timely wallop. And Old Severeid, } the fans of St. Louis know that the hardest working’ catcher in the Amer- ican League is not a sprintor, but they also know that Hank can clout the leather in a fashion to bring joy to their hearts. Enough said for Henry Severeid. The squad hag only one practice session yesterday, Manager Jones tell- ing his men they could lay off in the “morning on account of cool weather. The squad got off toxan early start in the afternoon, everyone reaching the park at 1:30. The boys put plenty of pep into their work. George Sisler indulged in batting practice for an hour and then played first base. The peerless Sisler scoopec up the slow drives and reached out for the wide throws, getting every- thing and leading the fans present to believe that he hati been playing ball all winter. 7 Pert Gallia also took part in the | practice, The former Washington hurler states that he is In good con- condition and ready for active duty on the mound, having practiced with thee”boys” in his home town, Woods- boro, Tex. Only one player now remains out at the fold—Nick Gullop. No ons in camp has heard a word from Nick. This southpaw seemingly seldom comes up for air, not having written to any of his old teammates as to the reasons causing his delay. in report- ing. a diack said: this afternoon’s game exactly fit into’ | f (ZI RRAAVVS VQ w orld's VARA’ VA KC MNQMWH HAMS AST NT Business Man. ESS WILLARD’S pugilistic prowess may be in doubt, int some, but there is no question about his world’s ¢ ness sagacity. The hall mark @f the born trader is | which his represéntative put over on Mike Collins, at Kansag C According to these Willard is cer- tain to receive not less than $80,000 for his share, even if the lowest bid on the market is accepted. On the other hand, if Willard promotes the affair himself, as is now believed his plan, he will reap a harvest of between two and three hundred thousand dollars. This belief is borne out by the receipts of the Jeffries- Johnson contest, held in an inacces- sible spot, Reno, Nev., when $2765,- 000 was taken in at the gate. For this battle the participants agreed to divide the purse 60 and 40 per cent, to the winner and loser, re- spectively, which gave Jeffries over $40,000 for being defeated, the total purse on that occasion being $101,- 000. Willard thus, even if defeated, would have a $200,000 balm to soothe his wounded feelings. This, in addition to a fortune variously estimated at from $300,000 to $500,- 000 made in the circus business since he won the championship, . would leave the giant Kansan perfectly sat- isfied with his financial future. Willard, it must be said, did not receive anything but a few thou- sands of dollars given him out of the pockets of the syndicate, when he met Johnson at Havana. This was due to the fact that the contest was a financial failure. Collins was will- ing to gamble with the promoters and take a percentage of the receipts, but Willard would not hear of that arrangement. * * Boxing vs. Wrestling. HE editor of the Catholic Ex- ponent of Canton, O., in the course of inquiring why boxing bouts were prevented and wrestling con- tests permitted*in the city of Canton, | expresses the view that the “manly” art Is not only preferable to watch but is a more humane game than wrestling. = In supporting this view Jack Skel- ly, the former lightweight boxing star, quotes a conversation he had with Hackenschmidt a few days aft- er his first match with Frank Gotch, champion. According to Skelly, “Every bone in my body is sore. It wasn’t a wrestling match, it was an unfair, terriffic fight. Gotch choked, gouged and punched me like a rough and tumble fighter. He tried to break my arms and legs, and had I not been clever and strong he would have done 0.” Skelly adds that Hack’s face and body were covered with many bruises and deep, ugly marks.

For tonight’s clash, Soldan is fa- vored to beat Coach Matthews’ outfit. Cleveland started the- campaign in great fashion, but slowed down to- ward the finish. Just.the opposite is true of Soldan. The West Enders started poorly and came with a rush at the finish. In the two battles be- tween the pair during the regular season, Soldan was returned the vic- tor each time. In today’s game ‘both teams will have their full lineups in the fray. Cleveland will have Placke and Whitbred at forward, Lippert at cén- ter, with Kraehe and Schulz playing the guards, Soldan’'s gy front will show French and Smith, forwards; Calhoun center, and Gazzolo and Schuster, guards.

W. R. LAGES, 323 F. S. B., Camp Funston, Kan, City Can Help Thrift Gardeners. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. Above the entrance at the city hall we note: *‘‘Food will win the war.’’ It’s an ex- cellent reminder. I do think every man, woman and child is not only earnestly striving to conserve food, but to increase the supply. We who have back yards suit- able for gardening are going to raise vege- tables for ourselves and our neighbors. But what is the city doing to increase the | food supply? She can lend a helping hand. if she so desires. For instance, »nany gar- deners are unable to secure fertilizer. At the Penrose Park stables the city has piled up from 50 to 100 loads of manure. A good- ly part of it washes down the hill into the, ‘ereek. Yet dozens of back-vard gardeners who have clamored for a load have been refused. Isn't it about time for the city hall to wake up. VOX POPULI. Prices in the ,Camps. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The Government is fixing prices on ev- erything all over the United States, which | is a good thing.

R. PLANS. The plan for the temporary relief of the United demands and the plan to confer on it new fran- chises with a life of 31 years are separate and dis- tinct propositions, : The franchise ordinance, with changes that by no means improve it, has been sent by the City Pub- lic Service Commissioners to the Board of Alder- ,men for approval. Is it hoped by pressing the two ‘plans simultaneously to confuse the public mind? They should be entirely dissociated. So far as it provides for the remission of taxes that hamper the quality of service and payment of better wages to employes, the relief plan has merit, as the Post-Dispatch has pointed out. But, as the Post-Dispatch ha also pointed out, the franchise grabbing plan violates the fundamental conditions on which a grant of this character should be bestowed. | What justifiable relief from pressing problems |of the present is afforded by the 31-year grab that will not be afforded by the arrangement to con- tinue only during war time? can hardly pretend that there is more than one problem not provided for by the temporary plan. This is the problem of the $3,235,000 in underlying bonds that will fall due in coming months, But that point has already been exhaustively covered by City Engineer S. C. E. Smith, whose judgment on various phases of the United Rail- ways’ tangled affairs’has often been quoted in favor of the company’s contentions. He has shown that the United Railways is making a -net profit of $4,200,000, more than 10 per cent on the ap- praisal of several years ago and a very handsome Anybody that can- | those | hours is absolutely without consideration | I have heard many a woman. | Let the bankers interested in the company’s H e ers interested in railroad systems do when tem-.| per cent on the valuation proposed in the ordi- 4¥ nance. $415,000 in special taxes the company will have | ample funds to pay an increase of 5 cents an hour to its men.

L. Burke told the Senate Agricultural Committee. As Mr. Burke is identified with livestock interests, this ex-parte view may be natural. On the other hand, the consumer, without any regard for interests other than his own, might entertain the opinion that the producer had had more than the considera- tion to which he is entitled. The price of wheat has been fixed at a figure that would have re- joiced the producer of the Civil War, making al-! _lowance for the inflated currency in which he was | _Dald.

E are not sure that we know just how W the war is goiyg, but the impression is growing throughout the paper that the Kaiser has gotten about all she is going to get. While this is a good deal; and perhaps even more than the Kaiser expected, it doesn’t seem to worry the more stable minds in the paper as one might think it would. That is one thing about our side that we can’t help liking—it doesn’t know when it is licked. It gives us more hope than anything else. As Socrates pointed out the other day when it was being discussed by the editorial staff and its aides, not knowing when they were licked has been the ‘distinguishing trait in all the great fighters who have left their impress upon life. Unquestionably the Kaiser dig win the war up to the point where its complete complexion was changed by the appearance of America on the scene. He had the first page scaled down to a thin line of British and French at the bottom, the Russians had all been cleared off Pages 2 and 3, the Italians were rolled up like a carpet on the right side of Page 4, and a submarine was coming up in the river column and taking a ship down with it every four hours. However, “as Answers says, the war isn’t going to be suddenly awarded to somebody on points. It is going to a knockout, and either the paper will be at the end entirely English, without German news in it of any kind, or it will be printed altogether in German as the Post-Depesche, without Just a Minute or any cartoons by Fitz. Of course, most people don’t want that kind of a Post-Dispatch, and have gone to the front in one way and another to fight for the kind we have now. However, as we have sometimes said, this can’t be a literary com- petition, or Mr. Wilson would have won it so long ago that people would already be wondering when it was. It is, upon the contrary, a life and death struggle ON Peg Oe oN ee 6 ON, Og OO ay Aggy OO + o var ~~ ie oad On ant a a aN ore Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams even could not go was a situation in which somebody slapped one’s wife’s face. He was wrong. The Rus- sian had not gotten started in self-debasement when he got to the point where they were merely slapping his wife’s face. The Weather Bird says Roosevelt flattered the Russian when he'said that, and neither of them knew it. Be that as it may be, the war is still going merrily on, hell is as likely to break out in one part of the paper as another, and distrust and suspicion fairly permeate the publication from the favorite jockey- ing ground of the nations on Page 1 to that posterior position in which the diminutive Jeff plays with the wits of the elongated Mutt. Nobody in the paper, for instance, has a good word to say for the Japan- ese. What everybody feels is that the Japs are try- ing to cop a half-page permanently for themselves, and that they are not particular at whose expense they acquire it. Polemarchus, who reconnoitered their position on Page 6 the other day, says that as an ally he doesn’t feel that it would be polite for him _to say what he thinks they are up to. However, something more definite next week, perhaps. wm basa! m™ THE ST. CHARLES BRIDGE. The infinite capacity for human happiness is illus- trated -by the tremendous thrill which some of us experience upon reading that the St. Charles bridge was thrown open to traffic this morning. To the great mass of humankind it is of no consequence whether the St. Charles bridge is ever opened or not; but a few of us, such is our genius for finding some little reason to be glad, are so tickled about it that we want to do some kindness or give away money. That is, of course, because the St. Charles bridge is one of the great recreational outlets of St. Louis, a highway without which we are shut off from a territory St. Louis outdoors has claimed for its own.
