Prager was suspected of hos- tility to the United States Govern- Bs mént, but denied the accusation. _ An Associated Press dispatch from Springfield satd the Attorney-Gen- eral had directed State’s Attorney i Streuber of Madison County to be- _ @in at once the most.strenuous effort to learn the identity of the lynchers, with a view to prosecution. Gov. _. daroden met at noon with the Attor- 4 - mey-General and with Assistant Ad- jutant-Genera!] Shand, to discuss the _ situation, and he notified the Sheritf of Madison County to take every pre- ‘ea@ution against further outbreaks. Gov. Lowden, after theconference in his ofice, said that if it was found impossible to preserve order _ Ruthorities, there would be nothing ‘*o do but to declare martial law in the county where the crime was eommitted. He said hewas prepared fo take such action promptly if he should determine that it is required. Chief of Police Tony Staten of Col- linsville, when asked by a Post-Dis- ; patch reporter whether the lynchers |. were known to the authorities, re- 4 4 plied that the police knew many of the men in the crowd which took Prager away from the policemen and carried him to the place of the lynch- ing. He was asked ff the police did not intend to make arrests, and he said; : “No, we don’t propose to do any- thing. It’s up to the Sheriff and the State’s Attorney. The lynching was outside the city limits of Collinsville.” The Attorney-General earlier in day said he would’ probably send | ‘irritable heart” (Cabinet Meeting Takes Up Collinsville Lynching Government Expected to De- nounce Mob’s Act and Express Hope Violence Will Cease. WASHINGTON, April 5 (By A. ,P- ).— Attorney-General Gregory took to the Cabinet meeting today a report of the lynching of a German, Rob- ert P. Prager, at Collinsville, I)l., last night, for discussion with Presi- | dent Wilson. The Government is expected to de- | /nounce the mob’s lawless act, and to | |express the hope that there will be ‘no repetition elsewhere. A brief report on the lynching reached the Attorney-General today from United States Attorney Charles A. Karch. Further details were asked. Officials made plain that they de- plored the incident, both because of the effect in this country and also be- cause it is feared reprisals may be made in Germany on Americans. Until the Federal Government shall be given power to punish persons making disloyal utterances, Depart- ment of Justice officials fear more violence. The Collinsville lynching was the first report reaching here of such ex- treme mob violence to a German, al- though officials who have observed the general feeling against Germans have been apprehensive of. such oc- currences. The Government has no authority to take action against the tynchers. Officials of the Department of Jus- tice deplore the act and express th. hope that State or local authorities a : ROGERS NOT TO RETURN t t it t f ROBERT PRAGER. : will speedily punish the lynchers. As soon as Congress passes the pending bill making it a Federal offense to speak or write obviously in disloyal criticism of the United States in the war the Government can punish these} acts and reduce the danger of mob action. “IRRITABLE HEART” NEWEST “Irritable heart’ is the newest military malady. It is not as seri- ous as. other ailments which affect the heart.‘ It is only a sort of car- diac charleyhorse, brought on by: tion. The chre is to decrease the exertion. —_ , A dispatch from Camp Doniphan today said that a number of men. in training there had developed “irri- table heart,” and that they had been grouped in special squads and com- panies, to be placed under a less severe training, and to be kept under observation by medical officers. Maj. Freeman, chief of the surgi- ‘cal staff at Jefferson Barracks, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that was known in ali the training camps, and that it is not a serious condition. The physical examinations for the army are in- tended to keep out anyone who has any rea) defect of the heart. ‘‘But a man with a sound heart,” he ex- plained, ‘“‘who has not been used to physical exertion, may find that his heart muscles get tired, just as the muscles of the arm get tired when he starts to play baseball. In such a case, the heart action becomes too rapid, and it is necessary to ease up one of his assistants to co-operate in lon the training somewhat, until the the investigation. In his first mes- gage to State’s Attorney Streuber, the Attorney-General saids ~ “Mob spirit must be suppressed. ‘Whatever the motive may be, lynch- ‘ing is never justifiable. It & an un- Warranted breach of the law, and it eart muscles get accustomed to the requirements of military duty.” JAPAN COMMANDEERS 11 SHIPS Vessels Will Be Turned Over to U. too much unwonted physical eters Ppa a oat AMERICANS PUT UP HOSPITAL OF 500 BEDS AT FRONT IN DAY Red Cross Supplies 250 Tents and Equips Them Upon Request of French Government. | PARIS, April 5 (By A.

WASHINGTON, April 5 (Ry A. P.).—A call for 400 photographers registered in the draft to mobilize at Madison Barracks, Sackettes Har- ‘bor, N. ¥., April 15, was sent out to 15 states today by Provost Marshal- General Crowder. They will be put in the air service. The photographers will be asked to volunteer for the work, but if enough registrants do not come for- ward some'will be inducted into the service. A call also was issued for 2825 reg- istrants to be given a two months’ course in automobile driving and repairing, and other mechanical work, Local boards of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas were directed to furnish these men. The states called upon for men for mechanical training were directed Connecticut 230 men to the Parke Memorial School, Boston; 250 to the Wentworth Institute.

Orders for the mobilization.of the first large number of men of tg sec- ond draft will go out to the Ga@vern- ors of the states very soon. Fifteen thousand men of the sec- ond draft are now mobilizing, and the April call about to go out wi'l represent probably more than the month’s proportion of the 800,000 men who it previously has been an- nounced will be called during the re- maining nine months of the year. To call the 800,000 in equal monthly in- crements would mobilize them at about a rate of $0,000 a month. How- ever, there is no assurance that this will be a fixed figure because the flow of men will be determined by the needs of the army in France. As Gen. Pershing may call for specially qualified troops, an average of 9$0,- 000 a month may be much exceeded or much decreased. It has been announced that the men will be drawn as gradually and in as small numbers as possible so as not to. dislocate industry and, par- ticularly, agriculture. So far as possible this plan will be followed. The immediate increasing of the American forces in France, however, to meet the German drive in the west is likely to result tn call- ing the men faster. For that reason, the April quota undoubtedly will ex- ceed its normal average, and if the need is pressing the entire 800,000 might be called in much less than the nine months originally planned.

BY LINCOLN EYRE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Cevyrizht, 1918. by Press Pub. Co.) PARIS, April 5.—There is no long- |. er reason to fear that the loss of Amiens as a railroad center would vitally hamper the operations of the allied armies. Thus far, according to authoritative information I have just received, none of the lines centerinzs in Amiens, which, were used prior to the beginning of the German of- fensive, has been put out of commis- sion. I have seen situation maps which show, step by step, the progress bat- tleward of the long range Krupp cannon which are being dragged painfully across the area between the Oise and the Ancre. The direc- tion in which these batteries are go- ing clearly demonstrated the German intention to strike at the cluster of tracks just east of Amiens and prob- ably at the town itself. Intense aerial bombardment has | begun the work of demolition which the enemy evidently believes will be completed by his gunners. At no point, however, has either that or the intermittent shelling with torpedoes flung from night flying Gothas been able to interfere with allied transpor- tation. Meanwhile Franco-British engi- neers detachments have taken all measures necessary to assure the continued functioning of the rail- road service, no matter what happens to Amiens. The bitterness of the artillery strife in the country between Demiun and Hangard-en-Santerre is evidently due to the fact that this is the nearest point from which the Germans could hope to harass Amiens. It is here they are endeavoring to plant their naval guns, which the intensity of the allied fire has hitherto hindered. NATIONAL HOSPITAL SCHOOL FOR CRIPPLES WANTS $5000 Institution Wants to Rent Building for Care and Training of Children. Officers of the National Hospital School for Cripples are making an endeavor to raise $5000 for the pur- pose of renting a building, in which to begin the work of the institution. An office has been established in the Vanol Building, Vandeventer avenue and Olive street. The cam- paign for funds is in charge of Mrs. James G. Nugent of 5847 Maple ave- nue, president. The vice presidents are Mrs: John C. Roberts, Mrs.. A. BE. Morgan, Mrs. E. W. H. Baldwin, Mrs. E. P. Mel- son,and Mrs. E. C. Van Nort. Mrs. Charles McDavis is recording sec- retary, Mrs. F. H. Littlefield corre- sponding secretary and Dr. A. E. Alexander treasurer. The original plan was to establish an institution for the care and training of crippled soldiers, but since the Government has undertaken this work it has been decided to devote the institution to children. 12TH ENGINEERS MEMBER BRINGS NEWS OF REGIMENT 3 Continued From Page Onc. es — a with a broad- -guage permanent line.

He was released soon afterward on bond. Smith is under indictment in Eé- wardsville in connection with a deal in 1913 when he sold a piano to Mrs. Flora Sonntag of Alton for $1000. It is alleged he reecived $850 in cash and an old piano in exchange. Mrs. Sonntag complained that she did not receive the kind of a piano she ex- pected, and alleged that Smith had made false representations to her. At the time of the sale Smith was employed by a Chicago piano com- pany, but more recently has been employed in St. Louis. Karch Denies He Will Resign.

Rep ington Discusses | “Chance of an Austrian Offensive in Italy Does Not Look for Extensive Campaign There Unless Germans Are Able to Deliver Telling Blow on West Front. It is an interesting question why of the enemy could not be exploited As this moment does not normally. return until May, the advantage of | | Austrian co-operation on 4 large | ‘scale was deliberately abandoned when the enemy fixed his jumping- off day in France for March 71. The reason the German higher command could not wait six weeks, when Aus- trian co-operation might have been assured, is a subject for speculation. The decision taken was all in fa- great offensive opened with an at- tack upon Italy, and had Von Bue- low’s German army remained on the Italian front to act as a spear head, as it did last October, we might very easily have found ourselves in France very much reduced. Simul- taneously, had the enemy's feints of real attacks been delivered at Salon- ica and in other eastern theaters we should have been much’ uneasier about our reply to them. None of these things, fortunately, has happened. On the contrary, the presence of Austrian and Bulgarian troops in France has beer definitely ascertained. There are, it is true, still some German divisions on what we used to call the Russian front and they reappear in Italy or Macedonia, but on the whole the evidence points to concentration in France and neg- lect of secondary theaters. On Top of Market. The German higher command ap- parently think they are at the top of the market and cannot, by any- thing they do now, usefully increase the amount of our commitments in the eastern theaters. They expect, or at least expected, to knock us out in France before our Knights errant in the east could get home, and no doubt promised the long-suffering and useful Turk that he would be gratefully remembered in the peace terms which the Germans expected to extort from us. He had allowed us to foo! ourselves to the top of our bent with the east- ern adventure and had prepared to make us pay the full price for our follies. I do not believe either Aus- tria or Bulgaria will send more troops to France than they can pos- sibly avoid sending, or that they will take a more active part in the cam- paign in France than they can es- cape taking. But the German hand is heavy. Bulgaria is anxious to make sure of Dobrudja and Macedonia, while Von Buelow’s aid last autumn has to be | paid for by the return of the compli- 'ment by Austria. The western allies ‘will be very glad to meet the Aus- trian and Bulgarian troops in arms, |for scores have to be wiped off with | both, and the arrival of those Balkan nanditti who stabbed Serbia in the back will be particularly welcome to us all. In the rnain, the Austro-Italian rivalry remains intact and the armies of Austria and Italy stand facing one another. Last reports from §Itaty speak of 60 Austrian divisions on the Italian front. Excluding the Ger- mans there were forty-nine Austrian divisions facing Italy at the close of operations last autumn, and if the Italian reports are correct there must, therefore, have been 11 fresh divisions brought up from old Rus- sian front. The Austrian balance remaining over must be some 16 divisions, which we must assume to be distrib- uted between France, Italy and Sol- onica, so that the number for France cannot be important and the whole tendency of the Austrians will be to separate their. divisions from their _German surroundings and collect them for the purpose of a purely Austrian campaign. Three and a half years of German arrogance and bullying probably | have made Austro-Hungarian head- quarters only toc glad to be quit of German control at any price. Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorf re- tains the chief command under the young Emperor of Austria, and his presence in the Tyrol is announced. Here he has at his disposal 13 divi- sions of the former Tyrol and Tren- tino defenses, and of the eleveth army beside Gen. von Krobatin’a army, formerly on the Carnia front. and such divisions under Kovis from the old Russian front as he may be able to cram into the far from con- venient concentration area of Tren. tino. On the Piave itself Gen. Derovic is in command with 23 divisions. The four Austrian divisions formerly un- der Von Below probably have joined Krobatin. Field Marshal von Hoet- zendarf knows this theater, over against northern Italy, better than anyone. An attack upon Italy from this quarter has for years and even for long before the war, been an Obsession with him.

LONDON, April 5.—A temporary Ini! in the operations in France and | the interesting report that Italian airmen are co-operating with the French fliers gives me an opportunity for saying a few words about the situation in Italy, which is not likely to remain so unimportant as now. the Germans attacked in France this year at a date when Austrian co-operation, in the form of an attack upon Italy, could not be expected. The close of operations in Italy last autumn saw the Italian front reduced to a matter of 1806 miles, from the mouth of the Piave to the Swiss frontier. The full value of the enveloping position by him until the season permitted a free movement of the troops of all armies in Tyrol. _gained his order pour le merite and | just in time, before the retreat be- | an. Very likely the Austrians are saying to themselves that al! this ar- to | rangement is very satisfactory them. If the great German offensive ee then they must go at Italy to keep on terms with their German masters, but if it fails—and it should succeed or fail before the time comes when the Austrians can attack—then |. why should Austria sacrifice her men in order to please Germany, which power, now that Russia has been counted out, has become Aus- tria’s rival? The success or failure of the Ger- man offensive is. for these reasons, not unlikely to regulate the char- acter of the Austrian operation. If it takes place there is no denying that, strategically, the Austrians are in the better place. But to debouch from Trentino by divergent roads and tracks which lead into Italy and to present the Austrian columns in condition to support each other is not the casiest task in the world. ” The Austrian armies are reported to be in pretty fair condition and the men well fed. Hoetzendorft probably will lead off with an attempted bat- (tle surprise with his heavy guns as he did before, and he has been busily engaged of iate in extending his front of attack right up to Tonale pass and the frontier of Switzerland. It is not necessary to dwell upon the prime importance of strict main- tenance of Swiss neutrality in. the campaign in front of us, and this remark applies as much to the French as to the Italian front. Gen. Diaz, who is a competent and trust- ed soldier, has, we can be sure, been watching all these preparations with close attention and by this time must be quite prepared to deal with his enemy. Time has been allowed him to re- organize his forces, and there «an be no wish dearer to the Italiar heart than to pay off the score against Australia and to recover the lost Italian ground. A chivalrous King, a firm Government, a united people and an army burning to avenge itself give Gen. Diaz all he requires for victory and nothing will give the English people greater pleasure than to see the hereditary enemy of Italy overthrown. DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM WEST, PRESS WARNS GERMANS OTTAWA, Ontario, April 6 (By A. P.).—The German press is warning its readers not to expect too much of the offensive in the west, says a Reuter dispatch from London. The war correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung says that hith- erto it has been impossible exactly to estimate the German losses, but it is unnecessary to jump to the conclu- sion that they are enormous because the victory was difficult. The German-Swiss Zurich Post war expert writes that Germany has been unable to hinder the carefully planned deployment of the Anglo- French reserves and the continuance of the violent attacks demand im- mense sacrifice. The Frankfurter Zeitung attacks | Von Hindenburg for attempting ‘to override the Reichstag... It appears that Von Hindenburg telegraphed the Vice President of the Reichstag as follows: “The fresh sacrifices of blood forced upon us have not been made for nothing. I know the Reichstag understands this and that it will champion a strong German peace.” The newspaper, commenting on this, says: x | “With all the respect and admira- | tion with -which we treat a com- mander, we feel that Von Hinden- burg’s intervention in politics is the most serious thing that has happened as yet, for the fatherland. He is en- couraging the pan-Germanh annexa- tionists, who are already exploiting the western offensive for the pur- pose of altering the Reichstag’s war aims.”’ ee ee SWISHER CASE GOES TO JURY The case against Joseph Swisher of 209 North Twenty-first street. a barkeeper, charged with murdering John Carmody of 634 North Garrt- son avenue, at Twenty-third and Olive streets, on Oct. 22, 1916, went to the jury in Judge Falkenhainer’s court before noon today. Swisher testified that Carmody, just out of the workhouse, de- nounced him for not visiting him or sending him anything, and drew a revolver, @Md that they grappled and he took the weapon from Carmody and shot him with it.

Lionberger said that if this increase were made the company’s total taxes would be increased from $450,000 to $900,000, out of its gross income of! $4,300,000, and that it might be com-| peljed to pass on the burden to its 175,000 customers. The proposed increase is on the| motion of John H. Gundlach, super- | visor of St. Louis assessments for the ‘State Tax Commission. He was called on, after Lionberger had spoken, to explain to the Board of Equalization how he arrived at his | valuation. s How He Got Figure. t was understood that Gundlach todk $35,000,000 as the total valua- tion of the Laclede company, and “deducted from this $5,610,000 for the physical property value, leaving the rest as intangible, or franchise value. The company is capitalized at $38,000,000. ; Lionberger told of some of the company’s difficulties in recent years, irig it had been necessary to spend $5,000,000 in altering the equipment s0/as to make coke the primary product, and gas a by-product. This is the reverse of the former prac- tide. The Government, he said, re- quired the company to furnish toluol] at’$1.50 a gallon, its former price to ‘ 9 private concerns having been $3.50 ‘ to $3.75, and to build additions to| its plant when material was most ex- | | : pensive. Lionberger also told of the increase : in the cost of materials and in wages. | He said that in 1900 the company paid $39,000 taxes, and that last year. its taxes were $450,000.

He said it did, but that after 1920, under the law, it would be subject to the State Public Service Corgmission. | : RUSSIAN EMISSARY RETURNS TO MOSCOW WITH PEACE TREATY Confirms Von Kuechimann’'s Declara- | tion Livonia and Esthonia Are | ’ Under Rassian Sovereignty.

We must speed up our in- dustries to create more wealth to pay the cost, and when we are called upon to give, : Y. we must do so willingly.

We must choose between liberty and the men who would enslave the world. 3 If we are to give liberty our unquali- fied support, let us make our statement: clear and ringing, that its echoes may respond “over there,” and put further courage into the hearts of the men who are fighting our battles, and throw greater consternation in the hearts of our enemies. | : W \\\ ry ¥ . | \ ‘ , .

All over this broad land, camps have been pitched where the armies of the Republic are training for service. Linking the training camps, the aviation fields, the coast defenses‘and even the remotest points where the forces of the nation are gathered, with each other, and with the great bureaus at Washington, the nerve center of the military system and of the nation, is the Universal Bell Telephone System. Immediately upon the declaration of war, the entire Bell System was placed unreservedly at the disposal of the Govern- ment. The Government’s telephone needs became at once of paramount importance, to which every private requirement was necessarily subordinated. Since the war, the demands upon our service due to indus- trial and commercial activities, have been unprecedented, and are constantly increasing. As our miljtary establishment grows, the Government’s need for telephone serv- ice will increase and must be met. We ask you to co-operate with us by avoiding extravagant and wasteful use of the service, so that with the other re- sources of the country, our reserve may be conserved, and we may perform the full measure of service to the Government and to the Nation. Southwestern Bell Telephone Company what. Certain it is that the masses class will make its political power effectively felt as a unit. Junkerdom is undeniably undergo- tion. While its landed estates are being eaten into by war parvenus and further inroads are threatened by a large scale internal colonization policy after the war, the beginning of junkerdom’s end as a politically privileged class is already in sight, with far-reaching consequences. No less stubbornly than junkerdom is plutocracy entrenching itself and preparing for a life and death strug- gie. As a class, the “interests” have gained tremendously in political power during the war. This is par- ticularly true of the so-called “heavy industrials’’—the coal, iron and steel interests—and the other captains of war industry. The clean-cut lineup of broad masses against junkerdom and plutocracy, allied in defense of. special privilege, both ready for bat- tle, is the characteristic feature of Germany in 1918. Far-going social change t& indi- cated, too, by the very gradual fad- ing or blurring of certain old caste lines. Aristocracy is fast losing caste in the eyes of the multitude. Abnor- mal war conditions in first line food and economic pressure have brought about a general transvaluation of | values. -Rank and title have measur- ably depreciated.

We are face to face with the burning, vital question, will the line hold ? Civilization hangs upon the answer. The very life of our Republic 1s at stake. They are there now---our boys---the sons we fathered, the brothers we loved, the lads we worked with and played with. In that hide- ous, raging hell of steel and flame and poison gas, they stand---the barrier between us and the destruction of all that is worth the having. Will the line hold? YES---If you do gour part---YES! You form the second line, you men and women and children of America. Without your support, the first line falls. You must supply the money for those supplies and munitions the lack of which will send our men to disaster and death, our flag to shameful defeat. Buy Bonds of the Third Liberty Loan The day Liberty Bonds become worthless, everything else in America will have lost its value, for everything we have is behind them. If you can’t pay cash for your bonds, you can borrow a part of the money at your bank, using the bonds as security: Buy them today! Pledge yourself for every penny you can wring from your daily needs. Don’t make our men over there feel what the Russian soldiers felt---that the very people they were fighting for had abandoned them. And from a money standpoint, you are buying the safest security the world offers today. The United States is be- or you can buy them at your bank on easy partial payment hind these bonds. Every railroad, every factory, farm and plan. It is no trouble to buy Liberty Bonds—it is no homestead, every income or salary, stands for collateral. trouble to pay for them. See your banker today.

World’s Greatest Battle | ‘‘We are at the decisive moment of the war,’’ declared the Kaiser on March 21st as he launched his tremendous armies against fifty miles of the Allied front in France in the greatest Dattle of this or any war; and on the same day he declared that ‘‘the prize of vic- tory must not and will not fail us,’’ and announced warningly that this prize “‘ was no soft peace but one which corresponds with Germany’s interests.”’ A week later, when the first impetus of the colossal onslaught had made a dent twenty-five miles deep in the bending but unbroken battle-line of the Allies, General von Ludendorf, who is said to be the brains of the German General Staff, announced ‘‘that victory has been won,’’ and added signifi- cantly ‘*but nobody can see what will result from it.’’ But- victory was not won, as the best informed war-writers everywhere remind him. ‘“So long as the battle ends, as there is every prospect that it will end, with our armies and those of our Allies intact and in a position as strong as they have ever occupied, Ger- many will have failed and failed decisively,’’ declares Major-General MeLachlan, Mili- tary Attache to the British Embassy at Washington.

After lunch I rested awhile before the long reconnaissance, due to start at 3. Six machines were detailed for this job; though a faulty engine kept one of them on the ground. The observers marked the course on their maps, and wrote out li8ts of railway stations. At 3:30 we set off towards Arras. Archie hit out as soon as we crossed to his side of the front. He was especially dangerous that after- noon, as if determined to avenge the German defeat of the morning. Each bus in turn was encircled by black bursts, and each bus in turn lost height, swerved, or changed its course to defeat the gunner’s aim. A piece of H.E. hit our tailplane, and stayed there until I cut it out fur a souvenir when we had returned. The observers were kept busy with notebook and pencil, for the train movement was far greater than the average, and streaks of smoke court- ed attention on all the railways. Roll- ing stock was corréspondinly small, and -the countfng of the trucks in the sidings was not difficult. Road and canal transport was plentiful. As evidence of the urgency of all this traffic, I remarked that no effort at concealment was made. On ordinary days, a German train always shut off steam when we ap- proached; and often I saw transport passing along the road one minute and not passing along the road the next. On September 15 the traffic was too urgent for time to be lost by hide-and-seek. E W fensive patrols, each of which escorted us while we were on its beat. It was curious that no activity could be noticed on enemy aerodromes. Until we passed Mossy-Face on the last lap of the homeward journey we saw no Hun aircraft. Even there the ma- chines with black crosses flew very low and did not attempt to offer battle. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until we were about to cross the trenches north of Peronne. Archie then scored an inner: One as his chunks swept the left aileron from the leader’s machine, which banked vertically, almost rolled over, and began to spin. For two thous- and feet the irregular drop continued, and the observer gave up hope. Luckily for him, the pilot was not of the same mind, and managed to check the spin by juggling with his rudder- controls. The bus flew home, left passed several of our of- wine well down, with the observer leaning far out to the right to re- of air boxed his ears. We landed, wrote our reports, and took them to headquarters. The was all that mattered to any extent, and a very able General told us it was “dom good.” But many a day to the absence of Uncle and Paddy. And so to bed, until we were called for another early morning show. A Summer Joy-Ride. T happened late in the afternoon one August dog-day. No wind hut, hangar, tent and workshop were oppressive with a heavy heat, so that we wanted to sleep. To taxi across to soar gently from the hot ground, and, by leaning beyond the wind- screen, to let the slip-stream of dis- this was refreshing as a cold plunge after a Turkish bath. I congratulat- ed myself that I was no longer a corrections, or tiredly alert in a close observation post. Our party consisted of four ma- server and several hundred rounds of ammunition.

Worst of all, if his engine be put out of action at a spot beyond gliding distance of the lines, there is nothing for it but to descend and tamely surrender.

The adminis- tration depends largely upon the come every spring, and new and least, as fresh thrilling as ever——love, the mil- linery and the circus. a man No matter how wisely starts out in the search for love, come a little foolish. A woman's “perhaps” is mere- a graceful way of saying ‘“yes;’ ‘“‘nerhaps”’ just a gentle ‘tno? a man’s way of saying Nothing makes a man more miserable than a woman of whom he can never be sure— unless it is a woman who is for- ever reassuring him.

No, dearie, no man CAN be as virtuous and sweet and noble as his voice sounds over the tele- phone, when he is’ ‘‘explaining’’ to a woman that he ‘may : J he never finds it until he has to work late at the office.”’ _——— | A man might select a wifé with There is nothing that a loyal ) woman will not sacrifice for the sake of her country, but thank heaven a flirtationless spring, a bonnetless Easter and a moonless summer have not vet been de- manded by.the censors!

From Archie’s point of view the perfect sky is one screened from the sun- light, at 20,000 to 30,000 feet, by a mantle of thin clouds against which aircraft are outlined boldly, like stags on a snow-covered slope.

State. housewives to accomplish this. Patriotic women in general have introduced substitutes in the culinary | | department of the home, and the ‘pantry shelf no longer holds the sin- gle tin marked ‘flour.’ Rye, corn, buckwheat, graham and the cereals have taken the place of wheat flour in baking, and domestic science ex- rerts have produced delicious recipes for those substitutes so there is no reason why a greater conservation of wheat should be a hardship to us. With the coming of summer, veg- 'etables can serve as a means for sav- ing wheat. It has been estimated that if the 45,000,000 who live on i\farms will consume twice as many vegetables during the summer as or- dinarily, a saving of 20,000,000 bush- els of wheat will be accomplished. | Now add to this the wit tiamis of ama |teur gardeners who will raise vege- ‘tables this summer, and can ag@asily double their usual consumption, and then consider the city dweller who will have no difficulty in securing fresh vegetables daily. With this united force we surely should be able to save the wheat necessary to sus- tain the allied army. Even if you increase your portions of potatoes a bit it will help won- derfully. Mr. Hoover has stated that if every American will consume four ounces more potatoes per day this would equal 30,000,080 bushels of wheat. Some housewives who have dis- carded the flour in baking still use it for other purposes, such as mak- ing gravies, etc., but here, too, con- servation can be augmented. For thickening gravies and soups, cern starch will answer the purpose and will insure a smooth gravy—the corn starch must first be dissolved in cold water. When making fruit pies sift min- jute tapioca over the fruit. It will retain the juices fully as well as the usual flour—use a tablespoonful of ‘tapioca to a ple. When raisins, currants, or other fruits are prepared for cake, etc., add the fruit immediately afier the sweetening and shortening and it will not be necessary to dredge them with flour. In cleaning the white sweaters, scarfs, etc., substitute corn starch for flour. Thoroughly rub the dry corn starch into the article to be cleaned and then shake it out It may be necessary to repeat this pro- cess several times.

This old practice, although it never had legal sanction, had been followed in rural sections of England for centuries. The auction commenced at noon on the appointed day, Thompson placing his wife in a large oaken chair with a rope around her neck. He pointed out her faults and her good qualities to the assembled | throng. There were few bidders, but at feéngth she was “knocked down” to H@nry Mears, who paid 20 shil- lings and a Newfoundland dog.

Could you bring it in for me?” “In a moment, mother,” Bob. He intended to go at once, the story was so exciting forgot. It was all about princes and fairies and magic spells. Then he thought of the seed. “It ig so stupid to have to stop fun for work,” he grumbled. “Why can’t I lie here and finish my books? Wish I could go to a place where there was no work at all.” “Oh, you do, you lazy lad?” shout- ed a voice like a trumpet. “Well, what would become of the world if no one worked? How would you get food and clothing, books and bicy- cles? You talk like a simpleton.” “T doy’t know who you are or where you are,” replied Bobby. “But tf you are up in this tree I would like you to take me to same place for just a week—some place where no one works.

Corra Harris, in Her Book, “Making Her His Wife,”’ Has Her Hero Try That Plan on the Bride With Whom .He Elopes, but the Result Isn’t What He Expected. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. WANT to make the woman I wife. Easter brides, attention! Personally, although I confess to a keen admiration for Mrs. Harris and her scintillating tales, I think the caveman is “old stuff,” and I don’t think that he gets away with his role outside of the movies. There still may be men today who say to their wives, in low, thrilling tones, what John Arms said to his Olive: “There's one thing every wife must learn—to obey her husband.” But does such a pronouncement carry conviction, even to the mind of the speaker? The joker in the marriage service is that word “obey”’—when it is allowed to remain there at all. AUGHTER is the modern wom- L an’s almost infallible weapon against the caveman. If she is devoid of a sense of humor, or if he ods, any police court will give her protection. Even if she reverts to cave tactics herself, and takes the law into her own hands, she usually is absolved of blame. In a recent New Jersey murder case, a wife was acquitted promptly for shooting down one type of cave husband. Nevertheless, Mrs. Harris has made a most entertaining tale of him. A Southerner with an Indian great- must marry an enemy. A man generally does, anyhow. right way; always was the natural way until man fell into the : weakness of love-making. Isn’t marriage savage? Of course itis. Fiercest | relation on earth. Can’t make it anything else until you make your own If you don’t, she'll make you. That is the philosophy of John Arms, cave man and hero of “Making Her His Wife,” the newest book by our most brilliant epigrammatic novelist, Corra Harris. You should all read it, either in the light of a warning or of a counsel of perfection, according to your temperament. It is the very latest version of the tragicomedy | of Petruchio and Kate. is particularly atavistic in his meth- | grandfather, a hardware store and an iron mine, John Arms falls in love with his “enemy,” a beautiful, charming, over-indulged New York girl, who makes his acquaintance by nearly running over him with her automobile. . Instead of driving her home, as she requests, he elopes with her for a long drive in the country. A few days later they elope again. (At this point I must say that I think John’s ultimate success with the lady of his affection wa due less to his cave and club tactics than to that he, his incurably romantic habit of elop- ing at every opportunity.) | “Oh, thank heaven I cannot es- cape from thisgnan!’ she murmured with a sigh of surrender, when he told the chauffeur to drive to Christ Church. But she changes her mind later on, when she is taken to her hus- band’s home in Valhalla, one of the ‘‘befo’ the wah” towns with which the South is filled. Honorably enough, John refuses to live on her money. But he also refuses to allow her to spend on her- self the income from her own for- tune. And he makes of his poverty 2 smug virtue. “John had married a rich girl and |he was himself almost wretchedly | poor. He had no compunctions ‘about that. He believed with a sort of elemental dignity that if a man was poor, endured hardships, his wife was no better than he was. She must endure the same condi- tion and accept the same hardships. In his opinion, there was nothing tragic, nothing to regret, in having taken Olive from an existence based upon false standards of wealth and indulgence. He was not responsible for the fact that she had started life wrong. She would not begin it right. He had this understanding with her before their marriage. She 'was not to spend her own money. must live within his means, herself to the simplicities ond necessary economics of their istation in life.’’ His next step She adjust in the campaign to marry a good wife to me. I feel I It’s the Always tries that.” nearer to his heart’s desire, is to forbid her to speak to a divorced woman, although she telis him frank- ly that in the past she has known as many divorced women as any other kind. He is horrified because, out of sheer impishness, she does a little French song and dance to en- tertain “Placid Hours,” a more dead _ than alive woman’s club in Valhalla. ‘ He frowns dourly because she ad- =~ mits to a neighbor that she plays bridge when she gets a chance. “Won't you ever,” Olive herself ap- peals to John in a moment of humor- ous insight, “quit gnawing your Ten Commandments and just enjoy some- thing because it’s entertaining?” UT that is after several further B episodes in the business of wife-taming. John decides that Olive shall cure her boredom by helping him out in the hardware store, and sets her at the business of stock-taking. In one inspiring mo- ment of rebellion she deliberately throws his dishes on the floor and smashes them. Then he sends his mother and the maid off on a visit and makes her cook and housekeeper, although she never has done anything of the sort before. She runs away—and John takes an express train, meets her in the station at the end of her journey and calmly elopes back home. Now comes what seems to me the most significant admission in “Mak- ing Her His Wife.” ‘To all outward appearance Olive’ is made. She wears flat-heeled shoes, a home-made dress, and blacks the kitchen stove. Yet John is “anxious about Olive. She certainly was not like herself. “No woman ever is,” Mrs. Harris points out lucidly, “after her hus- band actually succeeds in adjusting her to his own ideas of what a wife should be. And no man would ever that state of silence and submission before he married her. But this is one thing you cannot teach a man. He will object to the very qualities in his wife which attracted him to her as a girl. | he will put her in flat-heeled shoes, though he was in love with her little French slippers. He says to her that he wonders why she fusses up her hair so, when it was these same vagrant curls he no- ticed the first time he saw her. So he reduces his wife to the prose of his own masculine mind and then spends the rest of his days vaguely in need of that girl she was before he changed her into this plain wom- an who wears broad-toed shoes, smooths her hair back and clothes herself in sensible frocks that are as ugly as hell.” The man who tries to reform his wife by cave methods or politer ones lives to be sorry for it. And that is just. As for Olive, she runs away once more, and then her husband appears at a fancy dress ball in the costume of his savage ancestor and elopes with her for the final time. There is the distant flutter of stork’s wings. “Being a man, he did not cangider how much he was indebted to,.na- ture for this victory. And if Olive knew, she refused to admit that, remould her even to herself!’’ '“make her his wife,’’ A. WALKER. with delight.
