HOME RULE PLAN TO BE PRESENTED / ’ q Premier Declares Exemption of Irish Is Not Justified : When English Boys and Men of 50 Are Taken— “as Much an Irish as En- - glish War.” LONDON, April 10 (By A. P.).— A political bomb shell was thrown in the House of Commons yesterday by David Lloyd George, the Prime Minister, when he announced that conscription would be extended tv Ireland and that the Government in- tended to extend home rule to Ire- land. The scenes during the course of the Premier's speech in reference to Irland were dramatic, approving cheers and cries of protest arising - from all parts of the House. During the latter part of his speech the Premier was frequently tmter- rupted by angry Irish members. A test of strength soon developed, when Joseph Devlin, Nationalist. moved a motion to adjourn. The Government carried a closure on his motion and then adjournment was defeated by an overwhelming vote. Irish approval of the proposed measures was not foreshadowed by the attitude of the Nationalist lead- ers, nor did the Ulster faction show any signs of conciliatfton. John Dil- lon, the successor of John Redmond, denounced conscription, Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, while ap- proving conscription, objetced to the iMtroduction of the home rule meas- ure it this time. The House ap- proved the introduction of the Gov- ernment’s man-power bill, by 299 to ‘80, and it was announced that time for discussion of the bill had been extended until next Tuesday. trish Approved the War.

Fatalities from accidents, the committee said, were distressing, but “appear to be less frequent than in the schools of our allies.’’ Regarding airplane construction, the committee found that from the inception of the work on primary training planes it ‘gave ground for grave concern.” Outfit Recently Increased. “In recent weeks, however,” the report said, “the output has been greatly increased, and there seems to be no doubt of the Signal Corps having an amply sufficient number in the future. On April 1, 3458 pri- mary training planes had been com- pleted of two standard types. In ad- vanced training planes, four. types are being made, the total number to date manufacture being 342. In these planes three types of engines (all of foreign design, but of American manufacture) will be used, of which 965 have been completed. ‘The production of combat planes ¢* * * has thus far been a sub- stantial failure and constitutes a most serious disappointment in our war preparations.

There is a lull in the storm, but the hurricane is not over. Doubtless we must | Lloyd George States the Allies’ Situation in the West —— | reat Battle Only Just Begun—Germany Determined on Decision This Year “The next step to which I should like to call the attention of the House is the material and dramatic assistance rendered by President Wilson in this emer- gency—one of the most impor- tant decisions of the war. In fact, the issue of the battle might very well be determined by this decision. ‘In America there is a very considerable number of men in the course of training and the allies looked forward to having a large American army in France in the spring. It has taken longer than anticipated to turn those soldiers into the necessary divisional organizations. If Amer- ica waited to complete the divi- sional organizations it would not be possible for these fine troops in any large numbers to take part in this battle, although it might be very well the decisive battle of the war. “This was, of course, one of the most serious’ disappoint- ments from which the allies had suffered. It is no use pretending it was not one of our chief causes of anxiety. We depend upon it largely to make up the defection of Russia. For many reasons— reasons, perhaps of transport, reasons connected with the time it takes not merely to train troops and their officers, but to complete the necessary organiza- tion—it was quite impossible to put into France the number of divisions everyone had _ confi- “Under the circustances we therefore submitted to the Presi- dent of the United States a defi- nite proposal.

By this decision American bat- talions will be brigaded with those of the allies. “This proposal was submit- ted by Earl Reading on behalf of the British Government to President Wilson, and President Wilson assented to the proposal without any hesitation, with the result that arrangements now are being made for the fighting strength of the American Army to be brought immediately to~ bear in this struggle, a struggle which is only now beginning to this extent, and it is no mere small extent that the German attack has been held up. It has stirred up the resolution and energy of America beyond any- thing which has yet occurred. * * * “The immediate necessity is relieved by the splendid and generous way and promptitude in which America has come to our aid, but they are simply lent to receive their training with a view to their incorporation at the first suitable moment_in the American Army in France and even if they remain with the British right through the battle, the time will come when we shall need great reinforcements if this battle continues.” expect more fierce outbreaks, and ere it is finally exhausted there will be many more. : ) The fate of the Empire, the fate of Europe and the fate of liberty throughout the: world may depend on the success with which the very last of these attacks is resisted and countered. .

They January, 1917. Up to the en sp thetiahaes : 1917—up to, say about October or November—the German combat- ant strength in France was as two to the allies’ three. Then came the military collapse of Russia and the Germans hurried up their released divisions from the Eastern front and brought them to the West. They had a certain measure of Austrian support which had been accorded to them. “Owing to thé growth of the strength of our armies in 1917, when this battle began the comba-. tant strength of the whole of the German army on the western front was only approximately, though | not quite equal to, the total com- batant strengtl of the allies in in- fantry. _They were. slightly in- ferior in artillery. They were in- ferior in cavalry, they were consid- erably inferior and what is very important, they were undoubtedly inferior in aircraft. “The Germans, therefore, or- ganized their troops so as to pro- duce a larger number of divisions out of the slightly smaller number of infantry and _ slightly smaller number of guns. They had fewer | battalions in a division and fewer | men in a battalion. That is en-- tirely a question of organization and it yet remains to be seen that their organization is better than | ours. It is necessary to explain that, in order that the House should realize why, with approxi- | rifices on the part of the large - classes of the population and noth- would justify them but the most extreme necessity, and the fact that we are fighting for all that is essential and most sacred in our national life.

Notwith- t very considerable concentration—lI am referring now to the German reserves—on the northern part of our line. After the battle began or imme- diately before the battle, the Ger- mans by night brought their di- visions from the northern part to the point where the attack took place. They also took several di- visions from opposite the French in the same way and brought them to our front. But it would have been equally easy for them, while concentrating troops opposite our front, to maneuver them in the same way opposite the French. I am only referring to that in order to show how exceedingly difficult it is for Generals on the defensive to decide exactly where, in their judgment, the-attack is coming and where they ought to concen- trate their reserves. Allies Guessed Right. I may just say a word here. This problem was considered very close- ly by the military staff at Ver- sailles and I think it right, in jus- tice to them, to point gut that after a very close study of the German position and of the probabilities of the case, they came to the conclu- sion, and they stated their conclu- sion to the military representatives and to the Ministers in the month of January or the’ beginning of February, that the attack would come south of Arras; that it would be an attack on a very wide front —that it would be an attack on the widest front ever yet assailed: that the Germans would accumulate 95 divisions for the purpose of mak- ing that attack; that they would throw the whole of their resources and their strength into breaking the British line at that point and that their objective would be the capture of Amiens and the sever- ance of the British and French forces. That was the conclusion Sir Henry Wilson (chief of the impe- rial staff) came to and which was submitted at that time, two or three months ago, and I think it was one of the most remarkable forecasts of enemy intentions that was ever made. As a matter of fact, the attack was made up, I think, by about 97 divisions. It was an attack on the widest front that had ever been engaged. Its object undoubtedly was the capture of Amiens and the severance of the British and French forces. Almost in every detail that very remarkable fore- cast has been verified in the event. Another remarkable prediction was that it might probably suc- ceed to the extent of penetrating the British line to the extent of half the distance of the front at- tacked. They cameto that conclu- sion from a close examination of the offensives of war. There was another advantage. There was, first of all, the advant- age which the Germans had from having the initiative. There was a further advantage they had, and this undoubtedly was the greatest advantage, from having a united command opposed to a dual one. The Germans undoubtedly relied on this to a very large extent for their success. They owe much of the success of this attack to this. What Kaiser Relied Upon. It was reported to me on good authority that the Kaiser informed ex-King Constantine: ‘I shall beat hem, for they have no united com- mand.’ Which shows that that was what they were relying on the main upon, that although their numbers were slightly inferior they knew the Importance that was to be attached to the fact that theirs was a perfectly united command. And that is an obvious advant- age, for, if the risks in one par- ticular part of the line are great, and in another part of the line are great but substantially less than in the former, with one command there is no hesitation in the mind of the Commander in Chief as to which he will make the greatest provision against. With two separate commands the problem is a difficult one; it is more difficult to adjust the bal- ance of risk and the General is always naturally inclined to give himself and his army the benefit of any doubt. That may be be- cause if anything goes wrong thers he alone is to be held responsible to his countrymen for the safety ‘of his army. The enemy have another inci- dental but as it turned out very important advantage, that of weather. Exceptional weather fa- vored his designs. It was both dry and misty. The attack which suc- ceeded was made in that part of the line where under’ ordinary spring conditions the ground would have been almost impossible. A wounded officer told a friend of mine today, a General—that under ordinary conditions no one could walk across to the part which was traversed by the Ger- mans at this time of the vear. But it just happened to be absolutely dry and firm, and they across ground which no one had any right to expect at this time of year would be in that condition. “Not only that, but the fact that it was warm increased the mist and the Germans were actu- ally in some parts within a few yards of our front line before any- one knew of their approach. It was quite impossible to observe them. This was a special disadvan- tage to us, inasmuch as our scheme or organization in that particular part of the line depend- ed largely upon the cross line fire of machine guns and artillery. They had, therefore, a very spe- cial advantage, of which they made the fullest use. Takes Up Battle. “With regard to the battle itself, as lI have already stated, it will take some time to ascertain the whole facts. At one time it was undoubtedly very critical. The enemy broke through between our third and fifth armies and there was a serious gap, and the situa- tion was retrieved owing to the magnificent conduct of our troops. They retired in perfectly good or- der, re-established the junction be- tween the two armies and frus- trating the enemy's purpose. “The House can hardly realize and certainly cannot sufficiently thank the country nor our troops for their superb valor and _ the tenacity with which they faced overwhelming hordes of the en- emy. They retired, but were never routed, and once more the enol pluck of the British soldiers that refuse to acknowledge defeat saved Europe. , “I am referring to the whole army, Generals, officers and sol- diers—-I mean the whole army and I draw no distinction. Their con- duct has been one of increditable courage and great coolness under the most trying conditions. I do not think that any distinction can be drawn between officers and men. Iam referring to the Erit- ish army and that means all. “And I specially refer to what one Brigadier-General did. Some reference has Been made in the walked | pecan Te press already to it where at one point there was a serious gan, which might have let the enemy into Calais.”’ - Until the whole circumstances which led to the retirement of the fifth army and its failure to hold the line of the Somme at least till the Germans brought out their guns, and perhaps the failure adequately to destroy the bridges— until these are explained, it will be unfair to censor the General in command, Gen. Gough. But until those circumstances are cleared up it would be equally unfair to the British army to retain his serv- ices in the field. It is necessary to recall him until the facts have been fully ascertained and laid be- fore the Government. French Are Praised, After the retirement of the fifth army the French reserves came up with remarkable rapidity when their position before the bat- tle is borne in mind. In fact, the speed with which, when the final decision was taken as to the real designs of the enemy, the French reserves were brought up, is one of the most remarkable feats of organization in this war and be- tween the courage of our troops and the handling of the.army—the way the third army held, never giving way a hundred yards to the attack of the enemy—I think it right that it should be said about the army commanded by § Gen. Byng—what between the efforts of our soldiers and the loyal as- Sistance given in true spirit of comradeship by the French army, the position is for the moment sta- bilized.. But it is clear that the Germans having gained an initial success are preparing another and perhaps an even greater attack. Up to the present the enemy has undoubtedly obtained a great in- itial success. There is no good in not accepting the facts. It is from that basis we must begin to build. But he has failed so far in his main objects. He failed to capture Amiens. He failed to separate the French and British armies, but we should be guilty of great, it might be fatal, error if we were to underestimate the gravity of the prospect. The enemy has captured valua- ble ground, which is too near Amiens for comfort or security, and he has succeeded for the time being in crippling one of our great armies. I will now tell the House some- thing of the measures adopted by the Cabinet to Meet the emergency. I have already explained what was done about the French reserves. The Cabinet took every step to hurry up reinforcements in order to fill the gap in our armies. No such large numbers of men ever passed across the channel in so short a time. Troops Got No Leaves, As the emergency was great, it was impossible to allow those who were summoned to France the usual leave to visit their relatives. It was with the greatest regret that we found it necessary to can- cel this permission, and nothing but the gravity of the position would have justified so harsh a proceeding, but the troops accept- ed the position in a manner which is worthy of the fortitude, courage and patriotism they have shown throughout. There was an _ understanding that boys under 19 years would be only used in case of emergency. We felt that the emergency had arisen and insofar as those who were over 18 were concerned, those who had already received’ six months’ training, we felt it neces- sary that they should be sent to France. As to the guns and machine guns which were lost, the number are greatly exaggerated. Iam as- sured they have exaggerated very considerably the number of pris- oners they have taken. The Com- mander in Chief assured me last week that it was a gross exag- geration. . I am very glad to be able to say that the Ministry of Munitions was able not merely to replace these guns and machine guns, but that they still have got a very sub- stantial reserve. The same thing applies to ammunition. There is an ample reserve of ammunition, both in this country and in France. Our aircraft strength is greater now than before the battle, and we all know what brilliant service our airmen rendered in this battle. Until the whole story of the battle is told it will be almost impossible to estimate the services they ren- dered in retarding the advance of the enemy, in destroying his ma- chinery and in making it difficult for him to bring up his guns and ammunition. We feel confident that our armies, Generals and sol- diers will be quite equal to the next encounter whenever it comes. Praises America’s Response. The next step to which I should like to call the attention of the House is the material and dra- matic assistance rendered by Pres- ident Wilson in this emergency-— one of the most important deci- sions of the war. In fact, the is- sue of the battle might very well be determined by this decision. In America there is a very con- siderable number of men in the course of tratning, and the allies looked forward to having a large American army in France in the spring. It has taken longer than anticipated to turn those soldiers into the necessary divisional or- ganizations. If America waited to complete the divisional organiza- tions it would not be possible for these fine troops in any large num- hers to take part in this battle in this campaign, although it might ‘ be very well the decisive battle of the war. This was, of course, one of the most serious disappointments from which the allies had suffered. It . is no use pretending it was not one of our chief causes of anxiety. We depend upon it largely to make up the defection of Russia. For many reasons—reasons, perhaps of transport, reasons connected with the time it takes, not merely to complete the necessary organi- zation—it was quite impossible to put into France the number of di- expected would be there. Under the circumstances we, therefore, submitted to the Presi- dent of the United States a defi- nite proposal. We had the advant— age of having the Secretary of State for War in this country after the battle had commenced. Mr. Balfour and I had a long conver- sation with him and we submitted to him certain recommendations which we had been advised to make to Mr. Baker and the American Government. President Wilson Gave Consent. On the strength of the conver- sation we submitted proposals to President Wilson with the strong support of Premier Clemenceau, to enable the combatant strength of the American army to come into action during this battle, was much as there was no hope of its coming is as a strong separate army. By this decision American battalions will be brigaded with those of the allies. This proposal was submitted by Earl Reading on behalf of the British Government to President Wilson and President Wilson assented to the proposal without any hesitation with the re- sult that arrangements now are being made for the fighting Strength of the American army to be brought immediately to bear in this struggle, a struggle which tent, and it is no mere small ex- tent, that the Gerdman attack has been held up. It has stirred up the resolution and energy of Amer- ica beyond anything which Has yet occurred. Another importantedecision tak- en by the allies I must also cal! to the attention of the house. It became more obvious after the battle that the allies were suffer- ing from the fact that they were fighting as two separate armies and had to negotiate support with each other. Valuable time was thus lost. Some of us had been deeply impressed by this perfl for some time and had done our best to avert it. | | | | ' ’ ' / / } ' | | But the inherent difficulties to be overcome are_ tremendous. There are national prejudices, na- tional interest, professional preju- dices and traditions. The inherent difficulties of getting two or three great armess to fight as one are almost insurmountable, and it can only be done if public opinion in all these countries insist on it as one condition of success. The Versailles council was an effort at remedy. How were the Versailles plans carried out, and the extent to which they were not carried out? This is not the time to in- quire. Agreed Upon Foch. I respectfully suggest to the House that no good would come at this stage in-.discussing this ques- tion. But if any one needed con- viction as to the wisdom of that policy, this battle must have sup- plied it. The peril we passed through by establishing the con- viction without challenge may, I think, be worth the price we paid for it. A few days after the battle commenced there was not merely the Government, manders, in the field. 'We had not merely field marshals, but army commanders present. We were so convinced—and the same thing applied to the Frencn—of the im- portance of more complete strat- egic unity that they agreed to the appointment of Gen. Foch to the supreme command of all the allies on the western front. May I not ‘say just one word about Gen. Foch? It is not mere- ly that he ts one of the most of brilliant soldiers, but there is this to be said about Foch: He is the man who, when we were attacked and were in a similar plight at the first battle, Yypres, rushed the French army there by every con- ceivable expedience—buses, cabs, lorries, anything he could lay his hands upon. He crowded French divisions through, and undoubted- ly helped to win the great battle. There is no doubt about the loy- alty and comradeship of Gen. Foch. I have no doubt that this arrangement will be carried out not merely in the letter, but in the spirit. But it is the most impor- tant decision that has been taken in reference to the coming battle. visions every one had confidently’ is only now beginning, to this ex—.« but the com- E_™ EEE CASCO ~-2%4 in CLYDE ~- 2% in.

This problem was considered very closely by the military staff at Versailles and I think it righ: . in justice to them, to point out that after a very close study of the German position and of the probabilities of the case, they came to the conclusion, and they stated their conclusion to the military representatives and to the ministers in the month of January or the beginning of February, that the attack would come south of Arras; that it would be an attack on a very wide front—that it would be an attack on the widest front ever yet assailed; that the Germans would accumulate 95 divisions for the purpose of making that attack; that they would throw the whole of their resources and their strength into breaking the British line at that point and that their objective would be the capture of Amiens and. the sev- erance of the British and French forces. “That was the conclusion Sir Henry Wilson (chief of the im- perial staff) came to and which was submitted at that time, two or three months ago, and I think that it was one of the most re-" markable forecasts of enemy in- tentions that was ever made. “As a matter of fact, the at- tack was made up, I think, by about 97 divisions. It was an at- tack on the widest front that had ever been engaged. Its ob- ject undoubtedly was the cap- ture of Amiens and the severance of the British and French forces, so that. in almost every detail, that very remarkable forecast . has been verified in the event.” This strategic wnity is, I submit to the House, the fundamental condition of victory. It can only be maintained by complete co-op- eration between the Governments and the Generals and by something more than that—the unmistakable public opinion behind it. “Why do I say that? For this reason. Generalissimo in the ordi- nary and full sense of the term may be impracticable. There are three functions which a General yields—strategical, tactical and ad- ministrative. What does adminis- trative mean? It means control of organization, the appointment and dismissal of officers and Gen- erals and that is a power which it is difficult or impossible to give to Generals of another country with a national army. Errors 6f Past. ‘‘Therefore, in spite of all the arrangements made unless there be not merely good will, but the knowledge that the public of France, Great Britain and Amer- ica will assist in co-ordination and in support of the authority in the supreme strategical plans chosen by the governments and in sup- porting the governments in any action they may take to assert their authority any arangements will be futile and mischevious. I make no apology for dwelling at some length upon this point. I have always felt that we were los- ing value and efficiency in the al- lied armies through lack of co- ordination and coneentration. “We have sustained many disas- ters already through this and we shall endure more unless this defic- it in our machinery is put right. Hitherto I regret every effort at amendment led to rather pro- longed and very bitter controversy and these great inherent difficul- ties were accentuated and aggra- vated. There were difficulties of carrying out plans and other ob- stacles and what is worse, valua- ble time is lost. “T entreat the nation to stand united for the united control of the strategical operations of our armies at the front. We know how much depends upon unity of concentration. We are fighting a very powerful foe who insofar as he has triumphed, has triumphed mainly because of superior unity. There is another matter to which I should like to refer, and it is the suggestion that our forces have been dissipated on a subsidiary enterprise. Not a single division }~ was sent from France to the east. With regard to Italy, had it not been for the fact that there are battalions of French and British divisions the Austrian army would have been free to throw the whole of its strength on the western front. If there were not some there now the Austrian army would be more powerfully repre- sented than it is on the western front. Reduced Saloniki Force. With regard to Saloniki, the only thing the present Government did was to reduce the forces there by two divisions. In Mesopotamia there is only one white division at all, and in Egypt and Palestine to- gether, there are only two white divisions, and the rest are either Indians or mixed, with a_ very small proportion of British troops. In these divisions I am referring to infantry divisions. I want the House really to con- sider what that means. There is a menace to our eastern empire through Persia, because through Persia you approach Afghanistan, and through Afghanistan you men- ace the whole of India. Had it not been for the blows inflicted upon the Turks what would have happened? Before these attacks there were Turkish divisions help- ing the Germans on the west, ex- actly as they helped them on the east. But what has happened? They were attacked in Palestine and Mesopotamia, and two Turk- ish armies were destroyed. If we had remained in Egypt and de- fended Egypt by remaining there on the canal, and allowing the Turks to hold us with a small force while they were putting the whole of their forces in Mesopotamia, and menacing our position in In- dia by that means, the Turks now could have been assisting the Ger- mans in the west, as they did in the east. What is happening now? German battalions at this mo- ment have been sent to assist the Turks, instead of the Turks send- ing divisions to help the Germans. The Germans now have sent bat- talions to help the Turks in Pal- estine. After'all, if you have a great empire you must defend it. There was a great empire which withdrew its legions from the outlying provinces of the empire to defend its heart against the Goths and those legations never went back. The British empire has not been reduced to that plight yet. We can defend ourselves success- fully in France and we also can hold our empire against anyone who assails it in any part of the world at the same time. Praise for India, May I, before I leave this topic, say how much gratitude we owe India for the magnificent way in which she had come to the aid of the empire in this emergency. It is not the fact that we have got three British divisions in Egypt and Palestine and one in Mesopo- tamia that has enabled us to hold our own, but it is the fact that we have had these splendid troops from India. Many of them volun- teered since the war, and they have been more than a match for their adversaries on many a_ stricken field. It is too early to state yet with accuracy our losses, because in the case of a battle over such a wide front, fought with such intensity for over a fortnight, with vast numbers of men engaged,. the losses sustained must be consider- able. The claims of the enemy as to prisoners have been grossly ex- aggerated, and Field Marshal Haig has assured me that they were quite impossible from the figures at his disposal, and which he showed ot and the enemy's claims s@@m quite preposteraus from the statement he made to me. — But still our losses are very great and our reserves have been called upon to a considerable ex- tent to make up the wastage and refit the units, and, if the drain continues on this scale a drain on the resources of reserves and of man-power, it must cause the deepest anxiety unless we take im- mediate steps to replenish it. The immediate necessity is re- lieved by the splendid and gener- ous way and promptitude in which America has come to our aid, but they are simply lent to receive their training with a view to their incorporation at the first suitable moment in the American army in France, and even if they remain Continued om Nexe Page.

It was never certain he would take this plunge because he knows what it means if it fails. But he ha staekn it. The battle proves that the enemy has defi- nitely decided to seek a military decision this year, whatever the consequences to himself. There is no doubt he has over- whelming reasons. There is the economic condition of his country and the critical economic condition of his allies. He now is at the height of his power, and Russia is at the lowest, while America has not yet come in in its strength. So, this year the enemy may put forth approaches his full strength. But soon he _ will grow feebler and weaker in com- parison with the allied forces. Everything, therefore, points to the definite determination of Ger- many to put the whole of her re- sources into seeing a military deci- sion this year, and this mean a prolonged battle from the North Sea to the Adriatic, with Germany and Austria throwing in the whole of their strength. There are still seven or eight months within which the fighting can continue, and everything de- pends on our keeping our strength right to the end whatever the strain upon our resources may be. With American aid we can do it. But even with American help we cannot feel secure unless we are prepared ourselves to make even greater sacrifice than we : have hitherto made. [I know what the Government wishes. I know also what will happen if the de- mand which the Government is putting forward is not responded to. It is idle to imagine, as some people very light-heartedly seem to think, that you have got an un- limited reservoir of man power in this or any belligerent country.

Then you have got a mer- cantile marine, without which the allies could ng continue the strug- gie for a single month. Al that must be borne in mind, and whatever happens and’ what- ever proposals we put forward to- day it would be folly to do any- thing which would interfere with the one fundamental condition to success to the allies—that the navy and shipping must be first. We have also got to supply coal largely to our allies, steel. But, owing largely to im- proved organizations in the various industries to the way they are adapting themselves from day to day to new conditions and to the increased numbers and greatly in- creased efficiency of woman labor, there is a reserve of men, which consistent with the discharge of these obligations, may yet be with- drawn in great emergency for our battle line. Not without damage to industry—I do not forget that—. and not without, to a certain ex- tent, weakening the economic strength of the country and not without imposing restrictions and perhaps privations but without im- pairment to the striking power of the country for war. “Nothing could justify such drastic action except an over- whelming emergency precipitated by a great military crisis. “IT want to point out specially why the steps taken now are steps which useful in this battle. Firs? of all, it is a battle which may last for months. The deci- sion may be taken not now or next month, but may be months hence. But beyond that, the allies at the pregsant movement have the same reserves of man power to reinforce their armies as Germany has, without taking into account those reat reserves in America. Germans Calling New Class. “The Germans, however, are calling up another class which will produce 550,000 efficient young men. These will be prepared to be thrown into the battle line. This is the 1920 class, aged 18%. These can be thrown into the battle line before this fight is over and we must be prepared for their advent in this struggle this year. There- fore, I have to submit to the Par- ‘liament the totals for increasing, and increasing very materially, the reserves which will be available for reinforcing our armies in the field during this prolonged battle upon which we are only just entering. I will now give roughly some of the proposal we intend to make in order to increase the number of as well as'/§ oe tee | | : | — timated was the minimum _re- quired for the present Year. We also are effecting a very strict comb out of some of the essential industries. Very large levies have been taken from munition ‘works. They will amount, I think to some- thing like 100,000 grade one men. That has been done already this year and it will, of course, involve the utilization of other labor to a very large extent in mu- nition works. A call for 500,000 has been made already on the coal industry and these men have been rapidly recruited. I regret to say that military needs will necessi- tate the calling up of another 150,- 000 men from this industry. These men can be spared, we are con- vineed, after entering into the matter very carefully, without en- dangering the essential output of coal for national industries. Miners Have Been Loyal. “No one is likely to forget the fine response made by the miners at the beginning of the war or the splendid part they have taken in hundreds of battles since’ then. They have been loyal in meeting the present demand of 50,000 men, and I am confident they would meet a further call upon them in the same spirit, in view of this great national emergency under which we are making it. The transport services also have been called upon to release the great- est possible number of fit men. “Further calls are to be made upon ‘the civil service. I do not think it is realized how much the civil service has done already. On one hand it has had to release a large number of men for the army and, on the other hand, it has to meet and is meeting the in- creased strain of work. 3ut even at the risk of some dislocation we must call upon it to do more, and a clean cut of young, fit men must be made. "It is proposed that no fit men below the age of 25 should be re- tained. That is the clean cut. We comb out beyond that. That is what is called the clean cut. |! shall explain it later. It is pro- posed that it should be applied to other industries as well. “When we are adding to the age and when we are extending the military age; it should not be said there are fit young men of 25 who are employed in the various indus- tries of the country. This wi!l | bring the civil service into line and on a general level, so far as a clean cut ig concerned, with the munitions industries. “Under an act passed in January ttt ~ a cen aterm ements eet - the country, and other orders of the same power will follow. I know the House will appreciate that it is not merely necessary to have men, but to have them quickly. It is no use raising them unless they are raised in time to take part in the struggle, this year, when we shall be short of drafts, if the battle is a prolonged one, Shortens Length of Call. The Government, therefore, has shortened the length of the call- ing up notice from 14 days to sev- en and have authorized the send- ing of notice by whatever method is the most expedftious and con- venient. It may be necessary even to curtail the rights of appeal on medical grounds, but for the mo- ment it is not proposed to do so. We have had a good many frivol- ous appeals which have wasted a good deal of time and if that goes on it will be absolutely necessary, in the interest of the security of day peal should be curtailed in this respect. There is another consideration. The strain upon the medical pro- fession has been great already. We are very short of medical men, and we may be driven to it by the hard necessities of the case. I now turn to the new proposal embodied in the bill, which I beg leave to introduce today. Our first proposal is to raise the military age up to 50, and, in certain speci- fied we ask for powers to raise it to 55, but that only when a man with special qualifications is needed. For instance, it may be necessary to do it fm! the case of medical men in order to secure their services. It may be necessary in certain special classes with spe- cial training and special experience to secure their service for the army. When you come to the question of raising the age to 50, it does not mean that men between 42 and 50 are necessarily to be taken in order to put them into the fight- ing line, it may be that there are men of that ” who are just as tas men of 25, but I am sorry to say that that is ed exception, and we cannot-therefore depend upon men of that age altogether to make the finest fighting material. “There are a good many services in the army which do not require the very best physical material and it would be very helpful to get men of this age to fill those serv- ices in™order to release younger and fitter men to enter the fighting line. There also is to be borne in mind the fact that we have to pre- cases, that the rights of ap-. —_ een omanee recep oo eaeneyenae tenaciously for their own homes if | ing the necessary measures to there were an invasion. Only Small Per Cent for Army. “The proportion of men from 42 to 50 years of age whom we ex- pect to be available is not very high—something like 7 That is only 7 per cent of from 42 to 50 years will be available for the army. > “I only, want to reassure people between 42 and 50 that all the men of that age are not going to be called up to the fighting line. I gave a sort of rough estimate that it would be only a small per- centage of men of this age who will be likely to come under the provisions of the bill. “Now [ come to the question of exemptions from military service. It is Known to everyone who has had experience in the difficulty of obtaining manpower that one of the many obstacles to success is the number of exemptions which have been granted often for rea- sons which at the time appeared sufficient, but which should no longer be effective at the present time of crisis. The Minister of Na- tional service already has the pow- er under the act passed this year to cancel certificates granted on occupational grounds and it is pro- posed to make free use of this power. There will be several of these exemptions which will be canceled under the power which already has been conferred on the Minister of National Service by means of proclamations, but when the existing powers have been used to the utmost it may be necessary to go farther and deal with ex- emptions granted on other grounds. Accordingly, it is provided by the bill that His Majesty may, by proclamation, declaring that a na- tional emergency has arisen, direct that a certificate of exemption from the military service of the nature specified in the proclama- tion shall cease to have effect, and that while any such proclamation remains in force no exemptions shall be granted which would fall within the terms of tue proclama- tion. Never Sabmit to Defeat. It is obvious that under this pro- vision it would be open to the Government to cancel exemptions in respect of men under age to be specified in the proclamation. That is another means of arriving at a clean-cut so as to secure men of military age, fit young men for the purposes of the army under an age to be specified in the procla- mation, and any existing exemp- per cent. 6 oR ne avert it. We will never submit to accepting defeat. I need hardly say that this pro- vision wili not be used to set aside the pledges given to discharged soldiers. They will be carefully observed. It is proposed further to makea change in the Constitution of the appeal tribunals dealing with ex- emptions and to speed up pro- cedure. I want agam to empha- size the fact that time is the es- seygce of this thing. The existing tribunals, no doubt, have done very admirable work, but they will be the first to admit that their work has been hampered by a number of number of the tribunals them- selves, the facilities for unneces- sary and repeated applications and the opportunities for delay under recurring rights of appeal. In these circumstances it is proposed to take power by an order-in-council both to reconsti- tute the tribunals and regulate the areas in which they should work and standardize the grounds of exemption and limit the right of appeal. It is impossible now to specify the precise nature of the change to be made. but I may in- dicate the nature of the changes we have in mind. Firstly, the areas within which the tribunals may act will be rs- considered and in some cases ad- justed. Secondly, the local tri- bunals, like appeal tribunals, will become nominated bodies and be reduced in size. This does not mean that use will not be made of the assistance of existing menibers of tribunals and they will be will- ing, I hope to continue work under the new conditions. We proposé to make an at- tempt to standardize more accura- tely than now is done the grounds of exemption to prevent conflict- ing decisions on these matters in different localities which is one of the great grievances felt in the country. Changes also will be made in the procedure, but upon these I do not intend to dwell at the moment. There also is the question of noncombatant pur- poses. Conscription for Ireland. I now come to the question of Ireland. When an emergency has arisen which makes it necessary to put men of 50 and boys of 18 into the army to fight for liberty and independence (Joseph Devlin here interrupted)——and small nationali- ties. And especially, as | am re- minded, to fight for liberty and in- circumstances—the | a get any man from Ireland by com- pulsion; not a man! What is the position? No home rule proposal ever submitted in this House proposed to deprive the Imperial Parliament of the power of dealing with all questions in re- lation to the army and navy. These invariably are in every home rule bill I have ever seen and are pure- ly questions for the Imperial Par- liament, so -that I am no more claiming any national right than was ever claimed in this House. The defense of the realm act also was extended to Ireland. The character of the quarrel in which we are engaged is just as much trish as English. May I say it is more so. It is more Irish, Scotch and Welsh than it is even English. Ireland, through its rep- resentatives at the beginning of the war assented to it. Mr. Devlin here interjected: “Because it was a war for small nationalities.’’ through its repre- sentatives, assented to the war. voted for the war, supported the war. Irish representatives and Ireland, through its representa- tives, without a dissenting voice committed the empire to this war. They are as responsible for it as any part of the United Kingdom. May I just read the declaration ‘fs- sued by the Irish party on Dec. 17, 1914, shortly after the war began. (Mr. Byrne interrupted with: “We have had a revolution since then.’’) Cites Party This is the declaration Irish party: “A test to search men's souls has arisen. The empire is engaged in the most serious war in history. It is a just war provoked by the in- tolerable military. despotism of Germany. It is a war for the de- fense of sacred rights and liberties of small nations, and the respect and enlargement of the great prin- ciples of nationality.

LOu& FOSi-Bisraicre TABLET OF 112 NAMES UNVEILED Ceremony Held at the Jeffer- son Memorial by the ciety of the Daughters of 1812 of the State. COMPANION TO BRONZE ALLEGORY Honor to Those of the Past Linked With Honor for De- scendants Now in War Service of the Nation. A bronze tablet bearmg the names of 112 pioneers of Missouri was un- veiled yesterday in Jefferson Me- morial by the Missouri Society of the Daughters of 1812. It is a companion piece to a tab- let put in place in 1915, a bronze allegory picturing the winning of the West. The new tablet names the men pfctured by type on the alle- goricgal tablet. In the gathering were about 400 persons, mostly lineal and collateral descendants of the men and women whose names appeared on the tablet. In the ceremony honor to those who started Missouri history was linked with honor for their lineal descend- ants who are representing the State in the service of the nation in the war. History of Pioncers. As each name on the roll of ‘path- finders was called a lineal descend- ant come forward bearmg a brass cylinder, in which was data concern- ing the life and accomplishments of the pioneer. Another descendant carried a.service flag, the stars of ‘which repreSented men and women | enlisted with the United States in the navy and army or in Red Cross work. In the brass cylinder also were the names and biographies of those descendants enlisted in the war. The brass cylinders were hermet- fieally sealed and placed in a glass case, vault prepared behind the’ place on Jefferson Memorial hall walls and reserved for the tablet. it is the plan of the society that the brass cylinders be opened 100 years hence, their contents reviewed and the cylinders resealed. The first name on the pioneer roli read by Mrs. Frank de Garmo, chairman of the committee that has | worked six years toward yesterday's ceremony, brought the flag with the largest number of service stars. The name was that of Mother Philipine R. Duchesne, a French nun, who B\founded the Sacred Heart Order in |; America. The flag bore 35 stars, representing collateral descendants in France of Mother Duschesne who‘ are serving with the French armies. Boy Carries Flag of 14 Stars. When the name of John Mullan- phy was reached, John Mullanphy Desioge, 7 years old, brought for- ward a flag of 14 stars, on for his own father, Capt. George Desloge, who is in service at Camp Green, N. Cc. Two of the stars had. smaller gold stars on them, indicating that two men in the Mullanphy line al- reaiy have given their lives in the present war. They were Philip Black- er and William Vernon, grandsons of Gen. DD. M. Frost, a St. Louisan who served in the Civil War with the Confederate army. Both were in the British army. The Mullanphy cylinder contained pictures of every man, woman and child in the line, more than 100, the contribution of Miss Mary Boyce, who died recently. Sappington, a familiar name in St. Louis County, brought 32 de- scendants of John Sappington in the audience to their feet. The service flag carried forward had 21 stars on it, the largest number of linea! descendants of any pioneer. Collat- eral branches of the Sappington fam- ily, represented by lineal descendants of other pioneers on the roll, bring the number of Sappington descend- ants, near and remote, in the service to 66. Oldest Pioneer Descendant. The name of A. J. Adair was re- sponded to by A. E. Adair of Odessa, Mo., who is 8&6 years old and the oldest living descendant of any of the 112 pioneers.

When this homemade lemon lo- tion is gently massaged into the face, neck, hands and arms daily, the skir becomes soft, clear and white, and the complexion dainty and attractive. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complex- to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the fresh- ness and the hidden beauty? But lemon jrice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way: Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of the best skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays fof a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle; then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it really does clear, smoothen and beautify tho skin amazingly. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion ladies can easily prepare and have an tnexpensive toilet aid which per- fectly satisfies their natural desire for a beautiful soft skin.—ADY. “The | : phy, Elizabeth White Gentry, Mar- guerite A.

Recently a Miss Bernard wrote a very gad Ictter to the Post-Dispatch about the loneliness of her life, and I would like te gay a few words in response to same. I siso am a successful business woman, and am thrown with many others of my kind, and I feel safe in saying that Miss Bernard is not a true representative of the average business woman. Miss Bernard shouid remember that parents these days do not bring their girls up with the idea that marriage is the alpha and omega of existence, as was the custom years ago, and consequently some of us refuse to be un- happy despite the fact that we haven’t & man dangling to our apron strings. Of course, if Miss Bernard feels that she has made a mistake, that is her hard luck, and she is to be pittied. The thing that we are all after in this world is happiness, and what brings Miss Bernard happiness might not have the same result with others. You have my sympathy, Miss Bernard. Surely you need not feel so dejected about There are plenty of them running loose, so just powder up your rose a little and probably you can eatch one. If not successful, I have a proposition to make: I have an acquaint- ance of the opposite sex who is looking for 2 mate. He doesn’t work very steadi- ly, which might be objectionable to some ladie:, but since I do not find him a necessity to my happiness, you are wel- come to him. Besides, I believe a woman of your sentiments would be willing to help finance the home (when he is drunk or out of a job), and he can furnish the happiness.

Overcapitalization the Weak Spot. es the EXiitor of the Post-Dispatch. In your certain editorial of the 4th in- the company acquired by bribery are con- fiemed for 31 years; the securities it ‘heaped upon its privileges and properties by thieving finance are made good by fresh epoliation of the public. The city gets nothing—it loses van it has; the company gets everything. Is there doubt in any’ one’s mind as to wh is the benefit con- ferred by this measure—the people or the corporation, the general interest or the spe- cial interest? Would Mayor Kiel as a busi- ness man, in his own interest, approve the centract between the city and the United Ratflways which the Board of Aldermen bas adopted? Can he justify it?” In my humble opinion Mayor Kie) could never “justify the approval” of such a con- tract between the city of St. Louis, Mo., aoa t the United Railways Co. with its ‘‘wa- tered stocks.” I have always held that “overcapitalization” is the one weak spot which will forever defeat the United Rail- ways Co. in its contract and settlement with the city of St. Louis, Mo., and its people (citizens). Now comes James E. Allison, chief en- gineer of the former Public Service Com- yatasion and submits to the Mayor and the | Board of Public Service his report, in. pt he places the present “fair value” of | he company's properties at $48,784,490.87. Mer. Allison's “report” is sufficient in it- | eelf to defeat the United Railways Co.'s. own valuation of its own properties at this | time and is sufficient in itself to “justify” | the citizens of St. Louis and the Mayor of. this great city to “disapprove” of the con- tract and ordinance passed by the Board of . Aldermen, which would virtually and legal-_ ly leave the city of St. Louis “out in the. = ocala” fer 31 years. Mark what I say GEORGE A. RITTER. | . LLOYD GEORGE’S APPEAL. mons made several things clear. escaped, in the German offensive, a defeat so | disastrous that the consequences cannot be meas- ured and the danger is checked but not averted. The severe losses suffered by the forces of our | | allies was caused in part by lack of unity of com- | mand and complete co-operation. The situation demands complete unity under one military head and thorough co-ordination and co-operation of all the war forces and war work of all the allies. Lloyd George credits much to the Versailles conference in the way of perception of the possi- bilities of the German attacks and preparation to meet them, but the complete unity of action ob- ‘tainable through one commanding head was lack- ing and the lack was a heavy handicap in battle. There is reason for congratulation that the les- son of the first disastrous phase of the battle bought by heavy losses of ground, men and mate- rial, has led to immediate and radical steps to- wards complete unity. After the selection of Gen: Foch as the head of all the allied armies, the most radical action was our own in merging our prepared military units with the British and French units and thus adding our available forces at once to the strength of our allies, instead of waiting to build up a great independent army. Reading the British Premier’s analysis of the situation, his program for further draft and mobilization of Britain’s resources and his ferv- ent appeal for extreme sacrifices to supply the men and material necessary to win the war should be an inspiration to Americans as well as Britons. In comparison with the enormous sacrifices re- quired of the British and French, and the tre- mendous efforts they are making to stem the Ger- |/man horde, our contributions-and sacrifices up to the present time are bagatelles. We are merely beginning. The necessity of concentrating our energies and mobilizing and preparing our re- sources to take our full share of the burden of warfare is imperative. The less we do now to contribute to a decisive | ‘purchasing at $1 an ounce the output of our'| | mines, amounting to 70,000,000 or more ounces a success, the greater will be the draft upon us to repair disaster and win the war. Lloyd George’s logic in support of his demand | for Irish conscription is irresistible. The Irish | Nationalists firmed the righteousness of the war and pledged | their support to all the measures necessary to vic- tory. Their statement was a model of clarity and force in defining the war issues and urging the) duty of men and nations to defend to the utmost the principles of justice and liberty they in- volved. As Lloyd George said, Ireland, as a small peo- ple, striving for self-determination, is more deeply interested in the war. than England. It is a question of human rights, human lib- erties and human destinies which should appeal with resistless force to the Irish people. Ireland’s past, with all the wrongs she suf- fered, is not in question. concern and Ireland’s future is indissolubly bound up with with the peoples who are fighting for human rights and liberties against despotic and ruthless military despotism. see this and will not permit their full resources to be drawn upon for the war they are fatally short- sighted and derelict. We might say to them, as we say to Englishmen, Scotchmen, Americans, French and Italians:. If this war is not won, everything is lost. If the Irish permit their own petty grievances and factional interests, their prejudices and quarrels, to overshadow the vital issue of this war and lead them into revolt against fair drafts upon their resources, their folly be upon their own heads, They will forfeit the sym- pathy of the generous friends of liberty who have stood by them in the past, but have consecrated their lives and fortunes to this battle. They will pass into history as fools and slackers. = = rr DOWN WITH PROFITEERING BARBERS The soldier within our gates need not go hence unshaven or with uncut hair. And while the barber, within convenient distance of the Union Station, is performing these services, the soldier can also receive other attentions which will be so quietly and quickly administered that he will hardly notice them. That is, until the time comes to pay the barber. One of these recruits, in a shop opposite the station the other day, ordered a shave and a hair- cut and acquiesced in a suggestion for a shampoo. | While he dozed through the process, he heard | various remarks by the barber, to which he paid | little attention. He noticed that he was being kept so long as to be in danger of missing his train. When he managed to get out of the chair, he found that he had received three different kinds of massage, at 35 cents a kind; a singe, also 35 cents, and an application of tonic, 15 cents, making, with the work he was conscious of having ordered, $2.40. “Thank heaven!” he is said to have exclaimed, as he looked at the dime which remained of the $2.50 which had been in his pocket, “I didn’t get a shine.” = = — a A CANADIAN STEP TOWARD DEMOCRACY. The force of a steadily increasing public opin- ion in Canada, accelerated, to be sure, by the in- fluences of the war, is recorded in the proposal of the Dominion Ministry to regulate in Can- ada the bestowal of feudal titles by the London Government. : It is proposed that no feudal titles of any sort shall hereafter be awarded Canadian residents except on the approval of the Canadian Gov- ernment; that all hereditary titles shall here- after be prohibited to such residents and that hereditary titles already awarded shall be divest- | ed of the hereditary quality after a date to be Lloyd George's speech in the House of Com- | The allied armies on the west front barely in Parliament unequivocally af- | The future is the only | If the Irish cannot | | portance attached in some Canadian circles to these obsolete designations of caste and other ‘evidences of monarchial favor. No two peoples in the world should have greater admiration for each other or a more unaffected cordiality than | Americans and Canadians. Withdrawal of all | recognition from feudal titles, nonhereditary as ‘well as hereditary—which Canada should decree— |'would draw the two closer. | The amazing thing is that this revolutionary | change, which will cause upheaval in social as well as official circles, is suggested, not by the Liberal party, which has long been strongly in- clined to the change, but by the Tory party and by a Premier who is himself the beneficiary of one of the minor monarchial titles, “Sir’’ Robert Borden.

The financial bill introduced by Senator Pitt- man, having the approval of the Secretary of ee ee Sb cr A ee rome eS. - tae ne — S5 a te Sug Siac WE om Dane “ay se “a4 <4. the Treasury, may be assumed to represent the | objective toward which our Government was | working when certain of our leading bankers agreed with foreign representatives some months ago that an arbitrary price of $1 an ounce should be fixed on silver. The bill looks to no permanent solution of the problem of silver coinage. It does not even make any permanent change in the existing subordinate status of silver in our monetary system. It sim- ply proposes that a large part of the immense stock of silver owned by the Government and forming the basis of the silver certificates in circulation shall be used in settling our balances with foreign countries which are selling to us more than we buy from them. Ordinarily these balances would have to be settled with gold. The) measure is, our,comfortable reserves of gold. We have now in the treasury 491,000,000 silver dollars or the silver to coin that many dollars— 376,000,000 ounces in all. It is proposed that bul- accordingly, a gold-saving bill—a'! conservation measure for preventing inroads on/| ‘lion equalling the amount of silver in 250,000 ,000 | i ' dollars shall be sent to India, China, Japan and | |South American countries to meet our debts, but | that this silver shall gradually be replaced by | ‘'year.

La La» A i A THE POTENCY OF A SLOGAN. Definition of war aims has reached a stage where the irresistible sway and prevalence won by Col. Watterson’s immortal slogan may be surveyed in retrospect. The partial indorsement given it by the public as indited almost countless times by the eidi- torial pen increased only slowly at first. Potent events after many months caused it to express the desires and hopes of greater numbers of the Colonel’s unofficial fellow citizens. Its beauty and impregnable truth gained widespread appre- ciation about one year ago. Now it sums up the world principles and policies which members of national assemblies, Ministers, Premiers capable military leaders. And lately it has made its debut from the pul- pit. At Hopkinsville, in the Colonel’s own State, the other day, the Rev. Bascomb Waters, evan- fixed later. Whatever meaning these titles, perpetuated. from the feudal system, may have in European countries, they are absurd and ridiculous in new countries which were founded or at least have. had their chief development long after the feudal | system's fall. One of the reasons why the rela-. tions between Union and Dominion, while neigh-. borly and friendly, have lacked the warmbheart- edness marking the relations between citizens of ‘some other countries—that between Americans and French, for instance—is the preposterous im-_ gelist, offered prayer to this effect: ‘Excuse us, Lord, but to hell with the Kaiser.” We may as- sume that progress in this new field will be as irresistible as in other fields. Doubtless in com- ing days the pulpit will not content itself with invidious references to a single member of a sin- gle family, but will see the necessity of adopting the full, undiscriminating formula, “To hell with the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs.” saa aided cu CUT OUT THIS GRAFT NOW. The renewed attention directed by the Post-Dis- patch Monday to a long-standing abuse in city printing should result in sweeping the snap of the German-language press out of existence. The subject is one on which the Post-Dispatch has repeatedly demanded action in past years. Since a former date when the matter became an | issue, the money waste has steadily increased. Controlling the facilities for complying with the | ordinance requirement that city doings must be printed in German as well as English, the Ger- man-language press has remorselessly insisted on increases in the cost of its contract. It is now obtaining 12 cents a line for a service for which it was glad to accept 5 cents a line in 1914. To give city proceedings publicity among a negligible portion of the population through a/| German newspaper of limited circulation actually | cost last year $2000 more than to give them pub- | licity to all the rest of the population through | the English language. To pay the $25,100 of public | money which the Westliche Post drained out of | the City Treasury last year absorbed all the taxes collected from 2500 cottages against which - an average annual city tax of $10 each is as- | sessed. The Westliche Post may have had an idea of | putting in a still higher bid this year, but it has killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. The. time has come to end the unconscionable holdup. | Years have elapsed since publicity in German | for city doings served any useful purpose. Special | reasons now exist for confining official publicity | to English. Cut ont the graft and buy Liberty Bonds aa the $25,100 or devote it to something else that | will give value received, | silver to redeem them—is to be taken by Federal | and | Presidents take a much more voluminous but | less expressive diction to formulate and consti- | tutes the objective in the grand strategy of all | | silver may be imposed, but that is a small price | 'to pay for giving to our gold stocks now a pro-| 'tection which may not be needed later. | An advance of 10 per cent, coming after a much | greater advance in recent months, is a thing not | And if ever the. i | oe be ao ce ~~ gen Se SN A™ sae Pe Soa ar | Sw Pe.

Opinion differed as to just what we actually had accomplished, and finally Crites was kind enough to suggest that I sum up for them all, in order that everybody might go home with some definite notion of what the discussion had brought out. Glaucon: That was nice of Crites. Socrates: I thought so. At any rate, I was glad to do it. I said that in the first year of the war we showed that while we were not as well prepared physically as we might have been, we proved our- selves easily the best-prepared nation mentally that had gone into the war. Our Americanism, as op- posed to Prussianism, at once clarified the issue and joined the allies together in a cause which is in itself invincible. Thrasymachus: Most excellently said. Socrates: Thanks, Thrasymachus, I said that what we needed more than anything else in the war on the Kaiser at the time this country joined in the con- flict was a great moral victory over the Germans, something above the mere application of force. It was the absence of such a moral victory that had destroyed the usefulness of Russia as an ally even before we came in. Polemarchus: Exactly. Socrates: Very well. It was at this truly psycho- logical moment that the world first heard the voice of America. That voice, in my opinion, has had no equal in history. At a time when’ more people than had ever lived before were in much the greatest moral confusion into which the world had ever been plunged, there suddenly rang on men’s eager ears everywhere that inspiration to humankind’s falter- ing soul. That voice expressed faith in all that the world held dear. It expressed the aspirations of the happtest free people on earth. It expressed in oppo- sition to what the world most dreaded what the world best loved. Glaucon: No doubt about it. Socrates: It was a moral Marne from which the very German cause itself was hurled back and made to dig in. What does it matter if we did ndt quite meet the merely physical expectations of us when we so far exceeded what anyone possibly could have expected of us in our contribution to the allied mo- rale? Thrasymachus: No difference at all. Socrates: So said I last night. I said that no matter how much any of the rest of us have failed, the amazing degree to which Wilsonus has succeeded has made up for it all Glaucon: Quite 80, Ne eee JUST A MINUTE gr Oy rt eal gt, Written for the POST-DISPATOH by Clark McAdams Socrates: Then that is settled.

CHAPTER VI. A Cloud Reconnaissance. LOUDS, say the text- books of . meteorology, are collections of partly condensed water vapor or of fine ice crystals. Clouds, men- tioned in terms of the newspaper and the club, are dingy masses of nebu- lousness under which the dubious politician, company promoter, or other merchant of hot air is hidden from open attack and exposure. Clouds, to the flying officer on active service, are either useful friends or unstrafeable enemies. The hostile clouds are very high and of the ice- crystal variety. They form a light background, against which aero- planes are boldly silhouetted, to the great advantage of anti-aircraft gun- ners. The friendly or water-vapor clouds are to be found several thou- sands of feet lower. If a pilot be above them they help him to dodge writs for trespass, which Archibald the bailiff seeks to hand him. When numerous enough to make attempts at observation ineffective, they per- form an even greater service for him ~——that of arranging for a day’s holi- day. And at times the R. F. C. pilot, iike the man with a murky past, is constrained to have clouds for a cov- ering against attack; as you shall see if you will accompany me on the be described. Xe * * * The period is the latter half of September, 1916, time of great doings on the Somme front. After a few weeks of comparative inaction -—-if methodical consolidation and intense artillery preparation can be called inaction—the British are once more denting the boche line. Flers, Martinpuick, Courcelette, and Eau- court Abbaye have fallen within the past week, and the tanks have made their first ungainly bow before the curtain of war, with the superlatives of the war correspondent in close at- tendance. Leave from France has been cancelled indefinitely. _ Our orders are to carry through all the reconnaissance work allotted to us, even though weather conditions place such duties near the border- line of possible accomplishment. That is why we now propose to leave the aerodrome, despite a great lake of cloud that only allows the Bky to be seen through rare gaps and a 60-mile wind that will fight us on the outward journey. Under these circumstances we shall prob- ably find no friendly craft east of the trenches and, as a consequence, whatever Hun machines are in the air will be free to deal with our party. However, since six machines are detailed for the job, I console myself with the old tag about safety in numbers. E rise to a height of. 3000 feet and rendezvous there. From the flight command- er’s bus I look back to see how the formation is shaping and dis- ‘cover that we number but five, one machine having failed to start by reason of a dud engine. We circle the aerodrome, waiting for a sixth bus, but nobody is sent to join us. The “Carry on” signal shows up from the ground and we head east- ward. After climbing another 1500 feet we enter the clouds. It is now im- Possible to see more than a yard or two through the intangible wisps of grey-white vapor that seem to float around us, so that our forma- the come scattered.

Soon one gives in and turns back, the pilot being unable to maintain pressure fo? his petrol supply. I shout the news through the speaking-tube and hear in reply from the flight-command- er a muffled comment which might be “Well, but it is more likely to be something else. Three minutes later the second bus in trouble turns tail. Its engine has been missing on one cylinder since the start and = ce Fae ee +0 lee eee trip over enemy country. Again Il call to the leader and again hear a word ending in “ell.” The two remaining machines close up and we continue. Very suddenly one of them drops out, with a rock- er-arm gone. Its nose goes down and it glides into the clouds. Yet again I call the flight-commander’s attention to our dwindling numbers, and this time I cannot mistake the single-syllabled reply. It is.a full throated ‘‘Hell!’’ F OR my part I compare the party to the 10 little nigger boys, and wonder when the only surviv- or, apart from our own machine, will leave. I look towards it anxi- ously. The wings on one side are much lighter than those on the other and I therefore recognize it as the Tripehound’s bus. There is ground for misgivings, for on several occasions during the past 10 min- utes it has seemed to fly in an er- ratic manner. The cause of this, as we find out on our return, is that for five minutes the Tripehound. has been leaning over the side with the joystick held between his knees while attempting to fasten a small door in the cowling round the en- gine, left open by a careless me- chanic. It is important to shut the opening, as otherwise the wind may rush inside and tear off the cowling. Just as a short band of the trench line south of Arras can be seen through a gap the Tripehound having found that he cannot possibly reach far enough to close the pro- truding door, signals that he must go home. I do not feel altogether sorry to see our last companion leave, as we have often been told not to cross the lines on a reconnaissance flight with less than three machines: and with the wind and the low clouds. which now form an apoque window, perforated here and there by small holes, a long observation journey over bocheland by a single airplane does not seem worth while. But the flight commander, remembering the recent order about completing a re- connaissance at all costs, thinks dif- ferently and decides to go on. To get our bearings he holds down the nose of the machine until we have descended beneath the clouds, and into full view of the open country. We find ourselves a mile or two beyond Arras. As soon as the bus appears it is bracketed in front, be- hind and on both sides by black shell bursts. We swerve aside, but more shells quickly follow. The shooting is particularly good, for the Archie people have the exact range of the low clouds slight- ly above us. Three times we hear the hiss of flying fragments of high explosive, and the lower left plane in unevenly punctured. We lose height for a second to gather speed, and then, to my relief, the pilot zcoms up to a cloud. Although the gunners can no longer see their tar- get, they lose off for a few more rounds and trust to luck that a stray shell may find us. These bursts are mostly far wide of the mark, al- though two of them make ugly black blotches against the white- ness of the vapor through which we are rising. NCE more we emerge into the O open space between sky and cloud. The flight-commander takes the mouthpiece of his tele- phone tube and shouts to me that he intends completing the round above the clouds. To let me search for railway and other traffic he will de- scend into view of the ground at the ‘*Folded up as he! - Newest Things in Science As the beginning of a great con- servation project in South Africa, 2 dam is being built across Sunday's River that will impound sufficient water to support 10,000 persons. - . a According to a German enginecr defects in aluminum welds can be detected by immersing the joints in water, bubbles of hydrogen appear- ing after 48 hours if the welds be defective. * we Tobogganing in summer has been made possible by an inventor who has patented steel toboggans that slide down inclines covered with cocoa matting to be erected in amusement parks. a * oe In some parts of Europe geese are fattened for market by confining them in dark rooms into which light is admitted at intervals, causing them to eat seven or eight meals a day. * e + Metal shoes worn like skates which grip firmly when weight is applied to them have been invented to en- able men to climb steel frames of buildings, bridges and some kinds of poles. * e + The Government of India has suc- ceeded in improving the quality of the cotton grown in some of its ter- ritory by distributing better seed and inducing natives to use ma@dern im- plements. * e - To enable photographers to make portraits with artistic backgrounds translucent shades to be hung over windows have been patented bearing pictures of window casings and land- scapes. ‘i 7 .

At present the sky is clear, but at any minute enemy pelice craft may appear from the unbroken blue or rise through the clouds. The slowness of our ground speed, due to the fierce wind, allows me plenty of time to admire the strang- ly beautiful surroundings. Above is the inverted bowl of blue, bright for the most part, but duller towards the horizon-rim. The sun pours down a vivid light, which spreads quick- silver iridescence over the cloud-tops. Below is the cloudscape, fantastic and far-stretching. The shadow of cur machine is surrounded by a halo of sunshine as it darts along the irregular white surface. The clouds dip, climb, twist, and flatten into every conceivable shape. Thrown to- gether as they never could be on solid earth are outlines of the wild- est and tamest features of a world unspoiled by battlefield, bricktowns, ruins, or other ulcers on the face of nature. Jagged mountains, forests, dainty hills, waterfalls, heavy seas, plateaux, precipices, quiet lakes, roll- ing plains, caverns, chasms, and dead deserts merge into one another, all in a uniform white as _ though'| wrapped in cotton and laid for in- spection in haphazard continuity. And yet, for all its mad irregu- larity, the cloud-scape from above is perfectly harmonious and never tiring. One wants to land on the clean surface and explore the jungled continent.

China Shepherdess HE Little China Shepherdess 7 stood on the mantel in the par- lor of an old farmhouse. She shaded her eyes with one hand and looked straight across the room ata picture on the wall. Little China Shepherdess leaned against a candle holder and one hand held a gilt crook as if she were look- ing for her lost sheep. For many years now the candle- stick had been empty. She _ stood looking as of old, but now Little China Shepherdess was looking at someone. She was looking at the pretty boy in the picture and wonder- ing where she had seen him before, for the picture had been hung in front of her only a few days. One day, when all was very still and only the humming of the bees could be heard from the garden out- side the window, the little boy in the picture seemed to smile at the Little, China Shepherdess. : He sat in a chair that had fringe around it, and one arm rested on the arm of the chair, and under him was one foot, which one little hand grasped as if he feared it might slide down beside the other, which hung over the front of the chair. He looked right at the Little China Shepherdess and smiled. She was sure of that, so she smiled back. ‘‘Have I not seen you somewhere be- fore?’’ she asked, for she felt it was perfectly proper for her to speak, as she had been there so long. The big eyes twinkled and the smile spread across the chubby little face of the boy. “Of course, you have,’ he said. “Don't you remem- ber me?’ “IT seem to remember your face,”’ said the Shepherdess, ‘“‘but I cannot say I ever saw you looking just as you do now. You are a newcomer, are you not?” “Oh, dear, no!’ laughed the little! boy. “I have been here in this par- lor for years, but I hung on the other side of the room right close to you, so, of course, you could not see me. I have just been hung here because my grown-up picture hangs in the place where I used to be.’’ “Then I must be mistaken,” said the Little Shepherdess. “I am sorry I spoke to you.” é6 H! you needn't be,” said the little boy; “you have seen me before but not in this picture; and the Pic- ture. think and see if you cannot remem- ber. “TIT can tell you something that may help you. The hand with which you are shading your eyes is broken it the wrist and is glued on. Don’t you remember the day it was brok- en?” said the little boy. Little China Shepherdess thought for a minute and then she smiled. It was you, of course. I remember you now. You climbed up on one of the slippery chairs and took me in your hand and then you fell and dropped me on the floor.” “Yes, I did it, and I am so sorry,” said the little boy, his eyes growing very sad. “Oh! don’t you feel sorry about it,’ said Little China Shepherdess; “really no one ever notices it these days.”’ >» “But I have never forgotten it,” ‘said the little boy, and some day my grown-up self is to have you for his own and carry you away to the city, where he lives.”’ opened and a gentleman came in leading a little boy by the hand. ‘Here she is,’”’ said the gentlenian. and he took the China Shepherdess: down from the mantel. “That is where I dropped her and broke her pretty little hand,’”’ he said, showing the mended place to the little boy. “Isn’t she pretty? I was always in love with her when I was little like you,” he said, “but I was naughty and came in here alone or my pretty Little Shepherdess would not have a broken wrist.”’ When the door closed the Little Shepherdess looked at the little boy in the picture and smiled. “It is worth it. even if I have had a broken wrist all these years,’’ she said. “I hope they do not take me away from here now I know you love me.” “Oh! that will not be for many years, I think, and I shall go with you. I am sure of that,’ said the little boy. In the still hours of the night and when the house is quiet in the day- time the Little China Shepherdess and the little boy in the picture still look straight at each other ang smile and always they know, whether they speak or not, that the love of long ago is still young in their hearts and they hope never to part. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. New York City.) aceon wind and time, according to which we should be near the town. The pilot takes the machine through the clouds, and we descend a few hun- dred feet below them. To disconcert Archie we travel in zigzags, while I search for items of interest. A train is moving south, and another is entering Toutpres from the east. A few barges are dotted among the various canals. Bordering a wood to the west is an aerodrome. About a dozen = aero- planes are in line on the ground, but the air above it is empty of Boche craft. Evidently the Huns below had not expected a visit from hostile ma-| chines on such a day, for Archie allows several minutes to pass be- fore introducing himself. A black puff then appears on our level some distance ahead. We change direction, but the gunners find our new po- sition and send bursts all around the bus. The single wouff of the first shot has become a jerky chorus that swells or dwindles according to the number of shells and their nearness. I signal to the flight-commander that I have-finished with Toutpres, whereupon we climb into the clouds and comparative safety. We rise above the white intangibility and steer north-east, in the direction of Passementerie. I continue to look for possible aggressors. The necessity for a careful lookout is shown when a group of black specks appears away to the south, some fifteen hundred feet above us. In this area and un- der today’s weather conditions, the odds are a hundred to one that they will prove to boches. We lose height until our Dus is on the fringe of the clouds and ready to escape out of sight. Apparently the new comers do not spot us in the first place, for they are flying ‘transverse to our line of flight. <A few minutes later they make the discovery, turn in our direction and begin a concerted dive. All this while [ have kept my fleld glasses trained on them and as one machine turns I can see the maltese crosses paint- ed on the wings. The question of the strangers’ nationality being answered, we slip into a cloud to avoid attack. To Be Continued in the Post-Dispatch Tomorrow. Styles Never Change.

C. it is learned that the women of that time pinched in their waists, had flounced or ac- cordion skirts, wore elaborate coif- fures, shoes with high heels and hats which might have come from a Par- isian hat shop. Life Aloft. SAN ANTONIO man, to get A away from the hustle of life at street level, has built him- self a bungalow on top of a steel warehouse and is living in it in com- fort. In addition to having a number of cozy rooms, it is surrounded with real “lawns,” while adjoining it there is a fine tennis court. -”_ Yes, Aloysius, you will be safe in opening a conversation with the strange lady who picks imaginary threads off your shoulder.

Do your pies ever turn out sog Perhaps you have cooled them rapidly. Pies should not be taken from the hot oven and put in a cold place. Keep them in the kitchen where they will cool gradually. Instead of rubbing your fingers sore on the wristbands, etc., on washday try one of those small hand brushes. Lay the article to be washéd upon the wash board and scrub with the brush. You will be surprised how easily the soiled portions can be cleansed by this method. If you have the habit of standing tumblers into each other and they happen to stick together so. there is danger of breaking them in an effort to separate them, just put ecld water into the inner tumbler and you will have no difficulty in getting them apart. If the kitchen sink becomes clogged and you have no soda to dis- solve in hot water, attach a piece of hose to the faucet and let the water run into the drain pipe until it opens, which will be very soon. To keep your bread board nice and white, wash it with cold water and soap. To remove any discoloration add a little silver sand to the soap suds on the board and rub well.

The puckering in embroidery can be avoided if you baste tissue paper under the part to be embroidered. it will be an easy matter to pull out the paper when the work is finished. Ice will keep much longer if wrapped in several thicknesses of newspaper before being placed in the refrigerator. Seems Reasonable. A YOUNG cavalry officer was taking a stroll early one morning, when he came upon one of his men trying his best to get a horse to jump a fence. After watching the greenhorn for some time the officer said: “How do you expect to get that horse to-go when you've only got one spur on?’s3 The recruit looked down at his boot and replied: ‘Well, sir, if I can only get that side of the horse to go, the other one is bound to keep up with him.” —London Answers.

A man who always wots his own horn soon has everybody dodging when he approaches.—Albany Jour- te I ee mem ——e ~ asked him to reveal to me the secret by which he had won so many fe- | male hearts. “Oh,” he said contemptuously, “‘it’s just dead easy to make a woman fall in love with you. All you've got to do is just talk her blind about herself.”’ It was putting the matter brutally, but it was the opinion of an expert, ; and there is undoubtedly much truth in the contention. Women do like to be talked to about themselves. It is the one subject of which they never weary, and no matter how stumbling the tongue that whispers paeons of admiration in their ears, to them it is tipped with the wisdom of Solomon and the eloquence of a Demosthenes. When girls are very young they like gross flattery about their eyes, their hair, their lips, their looks generally, and they adore being told that they are the living image of Mary Pickford or Lillian Russell. When they are older, and their tastes are a little more subtle, they prefer to be made to feel that a man is analysing their thoughts, their emotions and their intuitions. It is this time that a woman falls for the assertion that there is something mysterious and inscrutable about her. any stage of the game be- tween the cradle and the grave, to tell a woman that she is not like other women and that her beingso-er-er different somehow attarcted the man’s attention to her. Bear this in mind, however, al- ways praise a homely woman for her eyes, her teeth, her smile, or her figure, and not for her clever- ness, and reverse this rule and praise the pretty woman for her wit, and her cleverness. Heaven knows why, but a woman is always more flatter- ed to be thought the things she isn't than the things she is. As a matter of fact women are not half as keen on compliments to their looks as men suppose. They have worked hard adorn them- selves. They have got on their war paint and they expect to be praised for it. More than that, they know that it is the conventional thing that every man says to every woman and that to say, “How radiantly beautiful you are tonight.” really means no more than saying. “So charmed to see you,” and so while they might possibly resent the omission of.a tribute to their ap- pearance, they take it lightly when it is paid. The compliment that really goes to a woman’s head and flatters her out of her senses is for a man to make her feel that she has wonder- ful divination, deep insight into things, and a strange and occult intu- ition of the unknowable. Women call this being understood, and when a man can make one believe that he hangs on her utterances as if she were a sibyl, it’s all over with her. She's his for the asking. OCTORS and preachers are the | ) only men who ever pay women the compliment of being inter- ested in their souls instead of their looks, and that is why a doctor, ora preacher, has only to whistle to a woman to have her get up and fol- low. Yet in trying to win a girl's heart be devoted, but not slavish. Make her feel that, while your life’s hap- piness will be wrecked if you don’t get her, you still will have strength enough to exist without her. Women are still primitive creatures, and they love a man who asserts a certain mastery over them. Also there is something in the feminine tempera- ment that prompts them to kick the man who grovels at their feet. This does not mean that a man shall attempt to dictate to a girl what she shall do, or with whom she shall go. This is as fatal as trying to put a bridle on a spirited colt be- fore it is gentled, but the woman who feels that a stronger will and a stronger hand than hers is guiding her destiny is half won. A good deal is to be said in favor of the constant, faithful devotion that continually surrounds a woman with evidence of care and tender- ness, but this system of winning a woman's heart is most effective when played within strict HMmita- tions. It’s all very well to be the patient standby that a girl can rely upon to keep her continually supplied with candy and flowers and to escort her to places where no one else asks her, and to take the fag ends of dances and all that kind of thing. After having accustomed a girl to these attentions, however, the wise suitor will suddenly withdraw himeelf and cease to be Johnnie-on-the-spot.§ It is the only way in which he can make the girl realize that he haa be- | come necessary to her happiness, RB”: indeed, it is a safe play at | 7 A bride needn't hesitate to In- vite all of her husband's old giris to dinner—but, if she is wise, she will refrain from invi any hew ones. .
