P.).— Lioyd George announced in _ the House of Commons this afternoon that the Irish convention report had been laid on the table today. When an emergency had arisen which madc it necessary to put men of 50 and boys of 18 into the fight for liberty, the Premier declared, it was not possible to exclude Ireland from conscription. The Premier also told the House of Commons today thzt when the battle on the Somme front commenced the total combatant strength of the Ger- man army on the West front was approximately equal to the total of the Entente Allies. Lloyd George said his man-power proposal would involve an extreme sacrifice by part of the popuiation of Great Britain. The Cambrai battle, he said, was a very trivial event when compared with the recent battle, and until the strain had relaxed it would be dif- ficult to find out exactly what had happened. “We have now entered the most critical period of the war,” said the Premicr. “There is a lull storm, but the hurricane is not yet over, The fate of the empire, of Europe and of liberty may depend upon the success with which the last German attack is resisted and coun- tered,” Reinforcements Hurried. The Premier said the Cabinet’ had taken every step to hurry reinforce- ments. The number of guns. and prisoners taken had been exaggerat- ed grossly by the Germans. The Ministry of Munitions, the Premier added, had been able to re- Place the guns and there was sub- stantial reserves left. The Cabinet was confident the army would be equal to the next encounter. Lloyd George said the Cabinet had decided to recall Gen. Gough, who was in charge of the Fifth Army, against which the Germans made their principal gains. Until all the circumstances of his retirement were known, he said, it would be unfair to censure him. Having gained an initial success, Lloyd George went on, the enemy was preparing a greajer attack and it would be a fatal error to under- estimate the gravity of the prospect. In view of the critical period which had been reached, said the Premier, the Government purposed to submit- to Parliament certain recommenda- ' tions in order to assist the country and its allies. He regretted to say that these proposals involved ex- treme sacrifices on the part of large classes of the population and noth- ing would justify them except ° the most extreme necessity and the fact that the nation was fighting for all which was essential and most sacred to the national life. The Germans attacked with 97 di- visions (approximately 1,160,000 men), the Premier said. They were relying on the idea that the allies had no united command and expect- e@ to divide the French and British armies. At one time of the battic the situation was critical. The enc- my broke through between the third and fifth armies. The situation was re trieved by the magnificent con- duct of the troops, which retired, but were not routed. 7 Gen. Wilson's Forecast Praised. The forecast regarding probable enemy attacks made by Gen. Sir Henry Wilson, chief of the imperial staff, was characterized by the Pre- mier as the most remarkable ever made. In opening the battle, he contin- ued, the Germans had an exception- al advantage in the weather, which was dirty and misty. They had or- ganized their troops to produce a greater number of divisions and had the advantage of the initiative, with the consequent knowledge as to the width, strength and dimensions of the attack. There were large con- centrations of Gérman troops at Yarious points on the line. Owing Liberty Bond ‘fh 4 in the? tion.

Sale Anecdote The 2000 designated Names Address Liberty SAYS INABILITY TO GET JUROR EXCUSED HOLDS UP WAR WORK Attorney Asserts Judge Refused to Release Ordnance Inspector From Service. Davis Biggs, attorney for the Pickrel Walnut Co., stated today that as a result of the refusal of Circuit Judge Calhoun to excuse Richard Al- brecht, a Government ordnance in- spector, from jury duty this week, | 9000 rifle stocks being manufactured (for the Government would be de- layed a week. Albrecht asked yesterday to be ex- cused on the ground that he was a Government employe, engaged in necessary inspection of gun_ stocks made under army contracts. His re- ‘quest was refused and today the company’s attorney made an unsuc- ces8ful plea to the Judge in his be- half. Judge Calhoun, when questioned by a Post-Dispatch reporter, said he had not been informed that 9000 gun stocks would be delayed. He said he refused to excuse the juror because he had already excused 15 who said they were engaged in war work, and because he did not think the work of Albrecht was essential. He said he intended to make a further investi- gation of Albrecht’s claim and would excuse him if he found it jus- tified.

NEW BREAD RULES IN FRANCE Daily Allowance Now About Two- Thirds as Much as Herctofore. WASHINGTON, April 9 (By A. P.).—France has just established a new regime on bread consumption, the Food Administration announced today. From now on bread will be strictly rationed. through all of France on the following basis: Children less than 3 years old, three and one-half ounces per day; children from 3 to 13 years old; seven ounces; persons from 13 to 60 years old, 10% ounces’ (hard workers in this age class may _re- ceive three and one-half ounces more); persons over 60 years old, seven ounces. This ration is about two-thirds of the bread allowance heretofore maintained. Bread constitutes over one-half the diet of the French na- tion, and the price of meat is’ so high as to practically prohibit - its use by a large part of the popula- tion.

WASHINGTON, April 9 (By A. P.).—Secretary McAdoo, in a state- ment ‘wired from Raleigh, N. C., and given out by the Treasury here to- day, called on the country to furnish 20,000,000 subscribers to the new Liberty Loan. That number of purchasers, he said, would mean a loan of four or five billiong dollars instead of the three billion announced as a goal. The statement said: “Let us not stop when we have reached our quota. Let us go for- ward and make the quota three or four times as great, if.it is possi- ble to do it, and let us at the same time make the number of sub- scribers to these bonds three times as great as it was before. There is no answer that will carry such dis- couragement to the enemies of America and of civilization as that 20,000,000 American citizens have subscribed this time for Liberty bonds.” Telegrams to loan headquarters here today indicated that many loan organizations in all parts of the country already have raised _ their | quotas. From the St. Louis district came this message: “Salesmen plunged into the work of disposing of $75,000,000 of bonds St. Louis’ quota of a little more than $39,000,000 has been jiost sight of. | mittee at the St. Louis ‘night were: ‘Mercantile Trust Co. *....$4,000,000 and nothing less than the sum aimed at will be discussed.” The honor roll of communities which have already subscribed quotas continued to grow today. San Fran- cisco sent word that 65 communi- ties in that district claimed honor flags. New York reported the award of about 25. From Chicago came word that 24 townships in Will County, Ill., had gone over the top, and that Joliet raised its entire quota in eight hours without the assistance of a single corporation or bank, Bur- lington, Vt., also was an early claimant for the flag. 35TH DIVISION MEN BARRED FROM CARRYING ANY LIQUOR Order Effective During Movement Abroad, Including Any Stops in England or France.

' ' ' SHOW OF FORGE 10 SAVE PRAGER Secret Inquest Reveals Collins- ville Men on Duty Did Net Try to Stop Mob. FOUR FOLLOWED BEHIND Main Effort Was to See That Vio- lence Was Not Attempted in City Limits. A Post-Dispatch reporter learned the lynching, by a mob at Collins- ville, early Friday, of Robert Paul Prager, a German enemy alien, dis- closed that the four policemen on duty at the jail, from which the mob took Prager to hang him, did not once draw their revolver to protect him. The policemen also admitted, on the witness stand, that they have made no efforts since to learn who was in the mob or to make any ar- rests. One of the four, upon being ‘questioned, admitted that virtually the only purpose of the police in fol- lowing the mob, afterit took Prager from the jail, was to see that he They fololwed the mob to the city limits, and the hanging took place a short distance out in the county.

Trautmann why they did not use more vigorous methods, one of the witnesses said they thought they could “fool the mob” into thinking Prager was not at the jail. He hada been taken there just previously for protection. The policemen, Harry. Stephens, Martin Futcheck and Fred Frost, were asked why they had not tried to learn the iden- tity of those in the mob, to which one replied that they were “waiting for orders.’’ It was developed, during their tes- John Tobnick, members of the union, and that at least two had been members °m GES.

Frost said that later he passed among the crowd on the lawn in front of the city hall, and was in the jail when the mob came _ in_- search of Prager. When asked how many members of the mob he could identify he said one. This man, he said, was holding Prager when he. (Frost) took him away from the paraders. He added that the man told him (Frost) that he was perfectly willing to surrende; Prager to the police.

FARE DECISION No Arbitration, Says McMorrow, at Hearing, Until State Passes : on Proposition. ADJOURNMENT McCulloch Declares mise’ Ordinance ‘Unsatisfac- tory’ to Company. By a Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Apri! 9.—The | Missouri Public Service Commission the hearing on the United Railways Co.'s today adjourned until April 22 application for an increase in rates, after City Counselor_Daues of St. Louis had filed a motion asking that action on the rate increase be de- ‘ferred until the company Wage increase it was grant to its employes. Richard McCulloch, president the company, resumed the stand at | the opening of today’s hearing and, under examination by Daues, de- scribed the “compromise” ordinance, recently passed by the St. Louis Board of Aldermen, as “unsatisfac- tory to the company.” Edward °- McMorrow, national street car men’s union, ap- peared as a voluntary witness and said the St. Louis union had agreed not to take up arbitration of the wage question until the commission had decided whether an increase in the fare rate was necessary to pro- vide funds for increasing wages. Ordinance ‘Unsatisfactory.’ In examining McCulloch, intended to accept the ‘“compro- mise’’ ordinance. McCulloch would not say definitely that the company would reject the ordinance, but he described it as ‘‘unsatisfactory under present conditions.” “Wasn't it agitated by the com- ~ pany?” asked Daues. ‘ “Yes,”’ replied McCulloch, ‘but the - agitation started early in 1916 and conditions have changed greatly » since then.

The necessity for the passage of an ordinance to stop the printing of official matters in German grows out of a provision of the city charter, which is that “until otherwise pro- vided by ordinance and except in condemnation proceedings, all news- paper publishing shall be in at least two .daily newspapers, one in the English and one in the German lan- guage.” For many years the German pub- lication has been in the Westliche- Post, which during the past year has charged a higher rate than the Louis Star, which was the lowest bidder of the English newspapers. The bid of the Westliche-Post was Reached. $25,000 from the Real Estate Exchange, headed by William W. Butts, con- ferred with City Counselor Daues re- garding the elimination of city print+- ing in-German. Daues told them that the. oBard of Aldermen could stop such publication by the passage of an ordinance, or that it could provide for the publication by the city. Comptroller Nolte consfders the publication of official matter in the German language to be an unneces- sary expense.

But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their biood to enable it toe change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous con- dition they know something is wrong, Dut they can't tell what. If you are not strong or well you owe it to vourself to make the follow- ing test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without Decoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of. ordinarv Nuxated Tron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for vourse!lf how much you have gained.

But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, tron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents.

By Leased Wire From the Washing- | ton Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 9.—An order has been placed for 'about 1500 Hispano-Suiza motors ‘for use in American aircraft. This Spanish motor is one of the light- est for its power and is especially adaptable to scouting planes. It is 'also planned to use it in the aeria! ' mail service in this country. Small ' orders for the French Gnome and 'La Rhome engines have also been | authorized, along with the British Rolis-Royce. The placing of these orders, it is explained, does not mean the slightest letting up in the man- ufacture of Liberty motors. One of the most recent develop- ' ments has been the consignment of a considerable number of seaplanes equipped with Liberty motors to the | American naval aviation sections in ' Great Britain and France. Enthu- 'siastic reports of their performance are being received. The seaplanes require an engine with the_~ great power of the Liberty type because of ' their weight. Will Use Any Good Motors. While thére has been no recession from the high estimation in which the American-made engine is held, the decision: has been reached that the Government should avail itself | of foreign motors in order to develop ' the most suitable ‘type for each form of aircraft. It is probable that the new air- ' craft arrangement will take the form of the British organization. Ugder this plan the functions of the offi- | cial in charge of aircraft production 'are such that he is not hindered by |'a division of authority. The present aircraft organization was, conceived quickly in the first rush of war preparations. With the _building up of a great industry, the feeling is general that a man of Ed- ward R. Stettinius’ type should be chosen to rebuild the organization. Stettinius has an intimate knowledge of the production facilities of the principal American factories. He gained much information as to plant capacity of the various lines of in- dustry while acting as the allied purchasing agent in this country. Reorganization Plans. The announcement of the general lines of reorganization will, it is thought, follow closely a preliminary report by the H. Snowden Marshal! Inquiry Committee, to be made this /week, The preliminary report will deal entirely with the necessity for getting ithe aircraft production organization on a more businesslike basis. A sec- ond report will be made later, when ‘the committee has had more oppor- |tunity to go into all plants which are manufacturing motors for’ the Government. The confirmation of Stettinius’ ‘nomination as Second Assistant Sec- ‘retary of War is of interest in con- /nection with the aircraft plans. While no definite determination on ‘he question as to who will head the new organization of the Aircraft ‘Board appears to have been reached. there are many indications that 'Stettinius will be chosen.

RELIEVES THAT WHEEZY COLD Proper time to check a cough is at the first symptom. Don’t delay. If you are. still neglecting your cough, the sensible thing is to ‘stop taking chanees and begin taking Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey. Treatment with this effective balsam remedy should give you quick relief. METHODIST REUNION MEETING TOMORROW Representatives of Two Branches to Try to Respect Plan to Bring Them Together. Fifty representatives of the two great branches of Methodism in the United States will meet tomorrow at Centenary Church, Sixteenth and Pine streets, to endeavor to perfect plans for the reunion of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The division of the Methodist Church, over the question of slavery, took place in 1844, and was regarded by Daniel Webster as a dangerous omen of approaching disruption of the Union. If this week’s meeting is successful in its purpose, it may be nossible to complete the reunion next year, after three-fourths of a century of separation. However, it is likely to take longer. Twenty-five men from each branch of the church, including Bishops, clergymen and laymen, make up the consulting body. Charles W. Fair- banks of Indianapolis, former Vice President of the United States, is one of the lay representatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church. George Warren Brown, chairman of the board of the Brown Shoe Co., also a ayia of the Methodist Church, is Louis member of the the only St. body. zon and Candler are the répresenta- tives of the Southern Methodist epis- copate, and Bishops Cranston, Ham- ilton, McDowell, Cooke and Leete come from the Methodist Episcopal Church. One of the Methodist Epis- copal clergymen on the joint body is Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse University. Fellowship Dinner to Be Given. A fellowship dinner will be given in Moolah Temple tomorrow night, with the commission members as guests, and with many members of both branches of the church in at- tendance. Murray Carleton, a lead- ing layman of the Southern churct here, is to preside. The meetings will continue for the greater part of a week. If a basic plan of reunion is reached it can be placed before the Southern church for ratification at its general confer- ence in Atlanta next May. The next regular general conference of the M. E. church will not be held until 1920, but the Bishops can call a special session at their discretion. Three preliminary meetings of members of the joint commission You will notice its soothing effect on the air passages from the first dose.

The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to mur readers ig one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of Can- throx, which ean be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just to the top of the head.

At this meet- ing it was reported that an investi- gation had shown that $750,000 was being expended annually by thetwo branches of the church in competi- tive territory, in fields where one Methodist church could have done the work. If this amount could be saved and funded, it is figured that Bishops Atkins, Hoss, Denny, Mou- | all the superannuated ministers of Methodism could be provided for. Negro Question One Point.

April 10, 1907. —SEeee \ LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. omen Serene A Liberty Loan Painting. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A number of men congregated at Ninth and Lecust attracted my attention. I went thither to see what was up. Two men wearing the besmirched garb of ordinary house and sign painters were there, one standing on a swinging ladder working, the other standing on the side- walk apparently doing nothing. Looking at the work, I saw our national colors in the form of a partly finished American flag r‘ppling around a man’s face as June breezes might stir the petals of a rose around its heart. I stood for a while to watch. Every stroke of the brush brought out new features. As I looked at that workman’s garb it became transfigured— made radiant with the light of the artist’s soul, whose brush brought down the winds from heaven to rumple up “Old Glory” and' make it lovingly caress a stalwart form clad in American khaki, whose brawny left‘ hand with clenched fist crum- pling up a good handful of our flag held it tightly to the staff, as if to say the rope might break, but the flag will never fall while this hand has life. The face? For pep and vim, I likened it to an enthusias- tic fan at our national game. An older man stood by and said, “That man has painted there the ‘Rebel yell’” He should have added, “combined with the pained, determined look of Lincoln.” As we spoke, a thoughtless boy passed by, whistling “Joan of Arc.” The old man said, “By God! It’s in the air. We must annihilate them.” OBSERVER. . Soldiers Need Records. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, We 8t. Louis boys, members of Com- pany D, Thirty-seventh Engineers, sta- tioned at the above address, will appre- ciate very much if you will let your read- ers know that we have a Victor phono- graph in our barracks and very few rec- ords. We appreciate the fact that there are thousands of records in St. Louis that have been discarded and know that these par- ties would be only too willing to donate them to the 8t. Louis boys of Company D if they knew they were wanted and would be appreciated, therefore we ask that you kindly get the above information to you> readers. They can be shipped to Cecil Purtle or Norval Burnside, Company D, Thirty-sev- enth Engineers, Fort Myer, Va. Thank- ing you in advance, we beg to remain, respectfully, PRIVATE CECIL PURTLE, PRIVATE NORVAL BURNSIDE, Company D, Thirty-seventh Engineers, Ft. Myer, Va. “Hats Off! The Flag Is Passing By.” Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Third Liberty Loan parade shows that there is need for some wholesome in- struction on conduct during the passing of the cv.ors. It was very noticeable that a large percentage of the men all along the line of march stood with their hats on as the colors went by. Is it possible that any man does not know the respect that is due the flag’? If he does not, it should be heralded everywhere that the colors, as well as the national anthem, calls for a bared head. No patriot should need a second reminder. Let everyone to whom this applies take heed, and may the spec- tacle of disrespect that appeared today never be repeated. Men have this oppor- tunity, along with many others, to show 100 per cent patriotism. ee Re A Boys in Rented Apartments. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to the mother of three boys who wants to know why property owners do not want children in their apartments: She must have exceptionally well be- haved children or she would know that it requires more than $15 per month to repair the damage done to rented prop- erty occupied by three normal, lively boys. Where is the interest on your money, in- surance and taxes to come from? I have just gotten free from some tenants paying me $60 per month. There were six chil- dren. BEvery child had a pet, "possum, cat, two dogs and a monkey. The de- etruction to walls, floors, stained glass win- dows, door locks, window screens, plumb- ing, etc., to say nothing of insanitary cost me monthly as much as the rent. And this is why ordinarily children are not wanted as renters. MRS. WILL JONES. From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. A U-ruguayan commission, en route to France, was kidnaped by a U-boat, and U-nanimously protes : WHEAT HARVEST OUTLOOK. From the 42,170,000 acres sown to winter wheat last fall conditions at present indicate a crop of 560,000,000 bushels, an average of about 13 bush- els to the acre. Last year’s winter wheat crop was put by the first computation at about 420,- 000,000 and the spring wheat crop at about 250,- 000,000 bushels, making a total of about 670,000,- 000 bushels, which later computations increased to 678,000,000. This year’s winter wheat crop from the greatest acreage ever sown in this country promises, ac- cordingly, to fall about 118,000,000 bushels be- low the total crop of winter and spring wheat last season. We may assume that an unprece- dented acreage will be planted to spring wheat, which, with normal conditions of growth and harvest, would give a reasonable expectation of a record-breaking yield. However, if the crop of spring wheat does not, exceed the 250,000,000 bushels of 1917, the existing prospect is for a to- tal crop of more than 800,000,000 bushels, which, placing domestic consumption at the normal fig- ure of about 500,000,000 bushels, would make available a surplus of 300,000,000 bushels for ex- port to the allies. The need for a most painstaking conservation of the supplies of this grain, however, will con- tinue until harvest and probably afterward. The counting of bushels before they are gathered takes no account of possible drouth and insect ravages during the spring and rain at harvest time. If our own predictions are fulfilled, pro- duction in the allied countries, still further en- grossed in the business of war, may be even less than last year and the need for: shipping may render it impractical to bring as much as last year from Argentina, Australia and other distant sources of production. Wheatless days, use of wheat substitutes and of war bread may continue for many months to come to serve important purposes in the prac- also the best preventive against rioting and mob tical work of downing Prussianism. = = a i, di Nothing stronger in Indiana now than lemon- ade and George Ade. ‘== ~~ GOV. GARDNER’S WARNING. Gov. Gardner’s unequivocal warning to dis- loyalists and pro-Germans is man-talk and has the right ring to it. He has promised that if they try to form any organized opposition to the measures being taken for winning the wzr in any community that he will immediately declare mar- tial law in that community, suspend the right of habeas corpus, send Home: Guards there and bring the offenders to summary trial by court- martial. It is to be hoped and believed that the Gov- ernor will not have to put his threat into execu- tion. But if he shall have to do so, Missourians will know how to give him the enthusiastic sup- rort that will be necessary. Firmness on the part of the executive authorities here and els2where is not only the best remedy for treason, but it is violence of all sorts. A German newspaper says President Wilson “turns historical events upside down.” Sure! He is going to stand the Kaiser on his head. — SS = A SEISMOGRAPH STORY. It may be true that the seismograph at a Buf- falo college is registering, by a series of dots, the explosions of the huge Rausenberger gun that has been bombarding Paris. Unless this seismograph is unusually sensitive, we should hear of other similar instruments making the same record elsewhere. Some time ago it was sald that the scientists in the belligerent armies had used seismographs to help locate enemy batteries, This appears possible. The seismograph is a very delicate instrument. But there is something more delicate, and that is the aroused conscience of humanity. When the German Government torpedoed the Lusitania, humanity received a shock so tremendous that the explosions of the Rausenberger gun are small by comparison. And ever since then, German ac- tions have shocked the moral sensibility of Amer- ica, which has registered these actions as cer- tainly and as indelibly as the seismograph reg- isters physical shocks. It is said that the explosion of the Rausenberg- er shells in Paris are not excessively loud. But when one of these shells killed 75 women and children a few days ago, the moral shock was greater than the physical disturbance caused by a thousand such guns and shells. It was a shock the effects of which can never be obliterated. = = * —— Any municipal surplus is worth bragging about in war time.

It must be admitted that there are extenuating circumstances in the case of Fred Daab of Smith- ton, Ill., who was haled before the United States Commissioner at East St: Louis on charges of making unpatriotic remarks, abusing President Wilson and refusing to stand when the band played “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The anthem, he explains, was played by the village band. At least the band played something and he has been informed that it was the well- known “Star-Spangled Banner.” He does not know that it was but makes the statement on in- formation and belief, as the lawyers say. At the time he had no idea what it was. He saw people getting up, but the playing of the village band | often affects people that way and he supposed that they were moved solely by the desire to mur- der the musicians. He felt that they deserved it but did not want to get mixed up in the muss and sat sti. The commissioner found no fault in him. The case of Mr. Daab brings up the question of the playing of the anthem by village bands. It is fitting and proper that they should play it, but there should be some way to let people know when they are playing it, so as to avoid misunder- standings. The town crier might be utilized. If he would get up and say: “The band will now play “The Star-Spangled Banner,’ everybody would have fair warning of what was coming and they could stand, whether they recognized it or not. It is every patriot’s duty to stand it and stand for it when the village band plays it. As a usual thing the village band is all right. | If, sometimes, its “Star-Spangled Banner” sounds, like “Die Wacht am Rhine,” maybe somebody mixed the music. It is hard for any band to do much unless everybody plays the same piece, r= = * —S |S NO EXCUSE FOR LAWLESSNESS. When Robert Paul Prager was lynched at Collinsville, IIL, on the vaguest and flimsiest ru- mors of disloyalty, the excuse offered for the mob murderers was that the Government was not vigorous enough in its treatment of disloy- alists. Mayor Siegel of Collinsville, eager to di- vert public attention from the crime which had been committed, hastened to send a telegram to Washington urging the enactment of more strin- gent laws and their vigorous enforcement with respect to disloyalty. : The fact seems.to be, however, that what lax- ness there has been in the checking of disloyalty has been more on the part of citizens who fail to report disloyalty than on the part of Government officials who fail to act when information of dis- loyalty is brought to their attention. The Gov- ernment is dependent to a great extent upon cit- izens for information about traitorous utterances. The action of a mob at Mounds, IIl., the other day, shows that the criticism of Gevernment lax- ness is not made in good faith. Information was filed with District Attorney Karch one day, wit- nesses were heard the next and an indictment charging disloyalty was returned the third. But before a Marshal could make an hour’s trolley trip from Cairo to Mounds to arrest the man, the mob, unwilling to be deprived by speedy pros- ecution of an excuse for taking the law into its own hands, seized the man and beat him and left him for dead on the street. There is no excuse for lawlessness of any kind. It is the duty of citizens to sustain law and to help the Government enforce law. Mob law is disloyalty. There’s always room at the top for another Lib- ery Loan dollar. In the turmoil of the great battle when men are thinking more of the 4ight itself than of the things for which they are fighting, it is well to remind ourselves from time to time of the rea- sons that has brought us into the struggle and of the character of our enemies. The Prussian Junkers have given us a reminder themselves in speeches made by them at the recent meeting of the Agrarian League in Berlin. Said Herr Wildgrube, a member of the Reichs- tag: What is al this hubbub about democracy, seeing that our monarchical state system has proved its efficiency? The reason of it is that our late Government was not sincerely con- vinced that all salvation for Germany comes from monarchical constitutionalism. One can- not avoid the impression that God in His wrath made Bethmann-Hollweg Imperial Chancellor. It was his fault that the Government and the German empire fell under the dictatorship of democracy. The maintenance of the German and Prussian Monarchy we desire, not for the sake of the dynasty, but for our own sake. We address to our Kaiser the passionate prayer: “Keep what you have and see that nobody robs you of your crown.” And the swash-buckling, swaggering Herr von Oldenburg, bosom friend of the Crown Prince had this to say: I do nat believe that any Mintster ever did such grave and lasting injury as Bethmann- Hollweg has done to his sovereign and his fatherland. My hope is that after the war we Shall be so strong that we shall be able to maintain peace. For that purpose we need different frontiers and greater independence. Only fools believe in a perpetual people’s spring. Bethmann made it as difficult as possible for the army to conquer. His declaration about the wrong that we did to Belgium cannot ever be washed away by any rain. a @ eS ee long as the army with its heroism is fighting, all is well; but what is to happen afterwards, and how we are to get out of the mess, the Lord God alone knows. The Chancellor who has to restore order will be shot at, and if he is not shot at he will not be any good Every- thing depends upon the Chancellor himself shooting.

Ex-Chancellor Bethman-Hollweg and others in Germany had many sarcastic things to say about the publication of Ambassadpr Gerard’s memoirs. It was unprofessional from the standpoint of the diplomatic craft and in shocking taste and showed how unsophisticated and lacking in kultur were the higher official circles of clumsy America. Then, shortly afterward, the memoirs of Prince Lichnowsky, Ambassador to London at the time of the breaking out of the war, began to appear. They illuminated many of Potsdam’s aims, re- vealed how the Ambassador’s efforts to establish an understanding between the British and Ger- mans had been defeated by hostility at home and added further testimony as to German responsi- bility for the war. What he wrote was not need- ed to enable us to comprehend Potsdam’s attitude during the months before the fighting began, but it did increase our appreciation of Lichnowsky as at least one official representative of the Kaiser who was out of sympathy with Gernan intrigue. It made it easier for us to believe that he was really sincere in certain steps which we had attributed to the general scheme of deception that dictated German policy at foreign capitals. Prince Lichnowsky is to be prosecuted, not be- cause he exemplified the indiscretions of shirt- sleeve diplomacy, but because he put German Machiavellianism in an unfavorable but truthfu] light.

Bre’r attributes to the Colonel and his great influence as military critic of the London Times most of the blunders the allies have made in minimizing the importance of other fronts, and re- prints some of the Colonel’s forecasts of what would happen to show that it almost never did. It is about the best set-to between war experts we have had, and on our theory that the man who says nothing in a bate always wins it, we wish to hgil the Colonel he victor. One’s impression of this sort of thing t simply because some things, such as the allied ves on the western front and the British at- the Dardanelles, failed, it does not necessarily follow that anything else that might have been tried would have succeeded. The Colonel has not been alone in his theory of the war on the western front. A great school has embraced that theory, and even Lloyd George left it only to come back to it. One cannot quite see why it has not always been as true as it is now—and our brother admits it is true now— that the war cannot be decided anywhere else but on the western front. Tut-tut, Bre’r.

RSENATE of lead is the poison A in most general use for this purpose. This substance is poisonous to persons as well as ‘to insects and must be used with care. It should not be applied to Vegetabies that are to be used soon. All vege- tables should be washed carefully before they are eaten, regardiess of whether they have been sprayed. Most of the garden plants may be safeguarded against disease and at the same time protected from attack bebe certain eating insects by spray-- ing at intervals of two weeks with a combination -of Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead. Sucking insects, such as plant-lice, or “aphis,” cannot be killed by poi- | soning the surface of the leaves and . | fruit, since they feed by puncturing the plants and extracting the internal juices. Poisons which will kill by contact or substances which envelop and smother the pests are, therefore, employed against the sucking insects. The principal remedies of this sort are nicotine-sulphate solutions, fish- oll and other soap solutions, and kerosene-soap ecmulsion. The insects most likely to appear in the vegetable garden are listed in| the accompanying table. Gardeners desiring additional in- formation in regard to insects affect- ing vegetable gardens should apply direct to the Bureau of Entomology.

This match, it is agreed by all who are familiar with the abilities of the principals, will be the zreatest heavy- goes whether Fulton and Willard fight or not. Miske is “little’ only when com- pared with the leviathans of the ring, Willard and Fulton.

We had a hard time of it and I finally parted company with him in Reno, Nev.,’’ Moore related. ‘I didn’t want to quit him, but I couldn’t help it. He came to me one morning when we were both broke. “I’m going out on the 8:30, Roy,”’ he said. ‘“‘Are you coming?” “I couldnt go, because going out on the 8:30 meant riding the brake beam and I didn’t know how. He went.

I remember the case of Stanley Yoakum, the rugged light- weight fighter, who is! reputed to own a ranch worth $50,000 or more: “Yoakum, they say, used to ride on the ‘rods’ all the way to his des- tination, while his wife rode in the 'Pullman above him. He'd come out | when they reached their destina- ‘tion and change clothes. | “I remember one time he blew ‘into Minneapolis to fight at one of the clubs there. When he showed up jat the clubhouse he looked like an overworked coal heaver. He carried ‘a little bag in which he had his | boxing kit and that was all. | “Say” he said, ‘I want to see the club manager. I want to cash in these railroad tickets.’ “The club had forwarded him two transportations. Instead of using the ducats.” Somebody. Is Stringing London. AR from being in a London hos- pital, Johnny Kilbane is right here in America, preparing for a swing around the cantonments to in- spect boxing conditions. Kilbane was in Cleveland yesterday, accord- ing to dispatches printed in yester- day’s late editions. The detailed story of how he was “interviewed” in London, severa! weeks ago, published in the London Daily Sporting Life, and _ setting forth how he had been hurt while acting as observer in an airplane scouting expedition, was made out of whole cloth. In short, someone was stringing the dignified London daily and put it across good and hard. A wire from Cleveland yesterday afternoon stated: “Kilbane here, departs for cantonment tonight. Has not been in France or England since the war began.” According to the London story. ! Ch Kilbane was promoted to be Sergeant Major for his services. all the way and wanted the cash for | | i } ; ' them he had ridden a brake beam) | j f ee et YS a es Pia MCB BOE eal te fio ae E oe es a oS Sige ig REP Dip ree Ley ae EE ee OS eT ore CE a Sees 1 ee BET RR ee o cagees ea AACS: Sk: gti 9S Mise ae abe, La ee eee Wn the Ph cae Gia Seay TS SR Be meas aco then bag . = K Me PON te ee oS “ ase f | Si-UlisraiCH e i We ee: % a SETTLEMENT W COST ME NO —PHIL BAL ment.
