The British line is in danger. But I think the chief developments will come through Italy. ; “There is only eight miles of mountainous country ahead of the Austrians in Italy now. When the ground gets drier, they can start a big offensive that will take them through those eight miles, and then they will be in comparatively easy country. Through the north of Italy they can invade France from the south, and the French can’t turn them back without laying their line open elsewhere. “England cannot increase its force in France very greatly, because it must keep an army at home to repe) a possible invasion. We are 3000 miles away, and our transport pro- gram has not worked well. With the French defeated, we and the Eritish would have to get out of France. With Germany controlling Europe, the United States would not heep up the war very long. “t don't know whether the Ger- mans would demand an indemnity from France. I rather think they would be satisfied to diaim no indem- nity and keep Alsace-Lorraine. They riight invade England, but I do not believe the United States would be invaded.

Announcement was made by offi- cers of the union that the company was engaced in filling many Govern- ment contracts for medicines and that the decision had been reached that the strike should be called off for reasons of patriotism. The company recently invited its former employes to return to work, at the same time announcing an in- crease in wages. Union officials said this increase helped in reaching the decisions for the strikers to return Oscar I. Biebinger, secretary of the Mallinckrodt Works, said this morning that nearly all the employes who had been on strike had returned to work. “The working conditions in the plant to which they return are the same as when they went out,” he said, “except that there has been one increase of wages in the mean- time. Our company has advanced wages from time to time and it is our policy to do the best by our em- ployes that we can. I suppose the, increase announced probably had something to do with the fact that the employes have been returning in groups every day for more than a week, and that it had something to do with calling off the strike.” An important meeting of striking garment workers this afternoon at Central des hall, 2228 Olive street, at which definite action probably will be taken on the question of contin- uing the strike or going back to work next week.

At the same time, however, they declare that the letter as given out by the French Government is a false version and add that the real text never will be published.

FIGHTING IS BITTER; FOE’S LOSSES HEAVY Fire at Close Range Into Advancing Ranks, but Are Pushed Back. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Friday, April 12 (By A. P.).—With the exception of Mer- ville, the Germans thus far have not reached their objectives in the pres- ent drive north and south of Armen- tieres, but today’s developments in- dicated that the enemy had no in- ‘tention of abandoning the assault immediately. A captured German document reveals that there were to s-be three smashes on the front north and south of Armentieres. One had Bailleul as its main objective, the other Merville and Aire, and the third Bethune. Not less than 28 divisions had been employed by the enemy in this pre- tentious program, which has meant that at some places the British have been very heavily outnumbered. A German division aggregates 13,000 to 14,000 men, including 7500 rifles. Fighting Is Bitter. St. Venant, between Merville and Aire, was being heavily attacked to- day by strong forces of Germans aft- er their success of last night, which gave them possession of Merville. The enemy seem desirous of reach- ing Aire, a railway center, and were throwing large numbers of troops into the conflict in an attempt to drive the British back. The German threat in this direction undoubtedly is of considerable importance. The fighting today continued to be of the bitterest nature, not only in the Merville neighborhood, where the main assault was made, but also northward of Givenchy. Yesterday and last night the ene- my continued his pressure from ly forced the British to fall back from Ploegsteert and Ploegsteert Wood until the battle was being staged today near Neuve Eglise to the west. Meanwhile steady pressure was maintained in the BEstaires sector, beyond which lay Merville and Aire. During the night the enemy pushed back the defenses at Lestrem and captured Calonne-Sur-Lys, just southwest of Merville. At the same time they pressed down through Neuf Berquin, a little above Merville, and these two converging forces hurled themselves on the town. German Lossés Heavy. Giving way before greater num- bers the British fell back toward St. Venant, fighting doggedly all the way against the closely pressing Germans. A sanguinary battle was proceeding today east of St. Venant, with the British making a deter- mined stand. During the night the British counter-attacked west of Steenwerck, west of Armentieres and reoccupied La Bacque after hard fighting. The German attack abaout Givenchy on the southern end of the battle line was being pressed today by some nine divisions. There has been vir- tually no cessation in the fighting here since the beginning of the battle Tuesday.

REPINGTON EXPECTS GERMAN NAVY TO STRIKE IN AID OF METHODICAL LAND DRIVE Military Critic Reviews Situation After Three Weeks of Enemy Offensive, Following the Failure to Win Quick Strategic Victory. By Lieut.-Col. C. A. Repington, Former -Military Critic ef the London Times. (Copyright. 1918, by Press Pub. Co.) LONDON, April 13.—When the Germans found that the emsbitions pro- gram of their March offensive could not be immediately realized—when the French took over the Montdidier-Noyon front and when the first attack of Von Below’s army failed before Arras—they seem to have reluctantly set- tled down to a more methodical prosecution of their original plan. This décision does not appear to have been acted upon by all the German 28 and April 9. The strategic frults of victory had not been gathered by Von Hutier’s army and the intended separation of the Franco-British._ armies had not been accomplished.. The momentum of the original attack had fallen, and all over the field were German di- visions which had been withdrawn for repairs. It had become, neces- tion, bring up all their guns and pre- pare once more for a renewal of the contest, and with larger means and with the same meticulous care that marked the procedure of their in- itial attack. Three Weeks of Offensive. Three weeks have now elapsed since the opening of the offensive, and this period may have been ade- quate to restore to fighting efficiency the divisions withdrawn and to bring forward guns, munitions and supplies necessary for the prosecution of the next enterprise. The delay must have been galling to the German command, since it gave Gen. Foch time in which to complete the counter-preparation, but it has to be accepted. The rush and scramble of the overwhelming first attack were at an end. The profits of the initiative had been gained and a surprise on the main battle front at least was no longer to be expected. As in other of- fensives during this war, the reserves of the defender were up and the struggle had changed its character. The German higher command proba- bly know from their airmen where F’och’s reserves are and have become cautious in consequence. The fan hape advance of Von Hutier present- ed dangers unless backed up by large reserves and extended to the south, and for these reasons proba- bly fresh reserves are being sent to the Crown Prince from Russia and from the quiet sectors of the western front. Whether the next’ attack will be general or not we do not know, but Von Gayl’s 7th German army south of the Oise is only the beginning of the intervention of other armies un- der the Crown Prince. How far east- ) commanders at once, and hence the somewhat disjointed and disconected attacks delivered by the German army or corps commanders between March army, which chimed in the following day at. Messinés. Both hit as hard as they could, and between Armefi- tiers and La Bassee a considerable indentation was made in our forward zone. To the north the second at- tack also reached Ploegsteert, and, as the effect of these two attacks was to endanger our position at Ar- mentieres, our troops holding that town were withdrawn. Reports of yesterday afternoon showed that se- vere fighting continued along the whole of this front, and the enemy's object, apparently, is to attract to! the spot the greatest possible num- ber of our reserves as far away from the most important part of our line as possible. But a cool head and a steady hand control our troops. in that quarter and nothing of great value has been gained as yet by the enemy in these attacks. Expects German Sea Action. Considerable activity has been shown by light flotillas and mine lay- ers of the enemy in the last few weeks, and I don’t’ consider it will be at all in the German manner to remain quiescent at sea while such great sacrifices are being made by German armies on land.’ How and in what manner the Ger- man navy will intervene are open to question, but we must remember that our home defense can never be neglected and when the German navy strikes it will strike with all its strength -as the German armies have done, and with a definite plan which will be as relentlessly pursued re- gardless of thé cost as their land at- tack. It is not a subject which bears much discussion and we can only hope the war cabine* have devoted more attention to the defense of our home territory than events show them to have done to our situation in Franee. The necessities of our situation require that the Govern- ment should put through its new mil- it is probable that the intervention of itary service bill regardless of oppo- sition.

The plan calls for ag Irish Parha- ment modeled after that of the Em- pire, the authority of which would not be diminished. An executive re- public with full powers over internal legislation, administration and direct taxation, also is provided. To meet with objections ("nionists it is agreed that a 40 per cent representation in the proposed Parliament will be guaranteed them from by the dominant Nationalists. Pro- ‘vision also is made for extra repre- ' sentation from Ulster. Minority reports were submitted by the Ulster Unionists and the minority faction of the Nationalists Summing Up of Proposals. The scheme mentioned by Sir Hor- ace Plunkett as meeting the approval of a majority of the delegates is set forth in paragraph 42 of the report, under the title: ‘Statement of con- clusions,’’ summed up as follows: “Section 1.

So far as St. Louis knows, and the statement has never been questioned, he was the inventor of the system of giving each vehicle a number so that it might be quickly found and called for after a ball or reception. He was the organiz-r of the Caterers’ Wait- ers’ Club, an organization of 40 ne- | groes who wait on table at social functions.

He | had the only “‘baby photograph” of her in existence and had planned to give it to her as a wedding present and had wrapped it up for that pur- pose a short time before he died. With unconcealed pride, Mrs. Cole said: “When Miss Alice Roosevelt | was married to Mr. Longworth she sent a piece of her wedding cake to Jim. It was brought to him by Miss Irene Catlin.”” Mrs, Longworth, then Miss Roosevelt, met Jim Cole when he acted as doorman at receptions given in her honor when she visited the World's Fair here in 1904. Boasted of Acquaintance. Cole often said he knew the faces of more “society folks” than did any other person in St. Louis and he was relied upon by busy hostesses to keep watch at the door and to see that entry was permitted only to those who “belonged.” Jim's smile was the signal that all was well, but a shake of his head was an insurmountable barrier.

This story of Belgium, of course, is the story of the heroic little nation during the past four years, from the moment it bared its breast to the German onslaught, in defense of civilization. Brand Whitlock, United States Minister to Belgium since 1913, lived through it all. His narrative, written under the title, “Memories of Belgium Under the German Occupation,” is a haunting picture of the dom of a nation. It seems hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that Mr. Whitlock is the one ma alified to narrate the whole : black history from the time the forts at Liege stopped the German aval- anche long enough to give France opportunity to marshal an army tox the invaders, down through the devastation of the little king-, His fame as a literary craftsman is further enhanced by the in which this historical document is written. The open- cassia or. dail a unforgettable picture of the idyllic life in Brus- sels in the spring before the storm and tell of the first omens of the ap- proaching catastrophe. The story : appearing every Saturday. | By BRAND WHITLOCK. | -N an evening late in the month of May, 1914, we,.were dining at the German Legation. We had arisen from the long table and : the salons, and as we stood about ne up to oa Sa fee I found myself beside Mr. waiting for the cof won Below-Saleski, who said to me in a low voice and with a sigh: ‘ “well, thank God, it’s over now.” : He spoke, no doubt, in the sense of intimacy that was somehow ours, because we had come at about the same time to Brussels, where we knew no one, not even each other; the fact was somewhat a bond, the only one, between us. IL copula quite. understand the relief he felt, the relief of the host who has done his duty; ‘ had the same sensation myself in my capacity of guest. : ‘ eyes,” I said, “it’s over at last. We can be tourists now,” he went on, “go where we please, do what we please.” | :*Where are youtgoing ?” I asked. “Oh, I don’t know, anywhere to be free, to get away. Take a trip somewhere. And you?” “To the country.” And 7 thought of Bois Fleuri, waiting for me there that night, in the dismal rain that made the Quartier Leopold so dreary and emphasized that expression of vague sadness it always wears, even when the sun lights up its blocks of aus: tere houses. My heart was lighter for an in- stant in the thought of the country, the noble forest, Ravenstein, with its golf links, and the red roofs of Jittle Tervueren. ' “while my thoughts rlayed with the pleasant anticipations of vacation, my colleague left me standing there, to greet a dog, a German dachs- “*hund, that just then came wriggling into the salon, as delighted to be admitted to the com- pany as the company was to have it come; there is, perhaps, nothing as efficient as’ a dog, even one of those dachshunds, to entertain the guests of a formal dinner. The dog was gamboling ‘about and writhing ecstatically on the floor, thumping it with its (tail, and the guests ex- claimed over it, and spoke to it in French, though doubtless German was the only language it un- derstood, and flattered it with endearing epi- thets: ° “Oh le amour de chien!” . « nest-ce pas?” . - “A Bird of Ill Omen” ‘The dog accepted all their compliments with a dog’s frank dove of flattery; the salon was en- livened with talk, with exclamations, with | laughter; the footmen were serving the coffec and the cigarettes, and, able again to leave his guests, Mr. von Below came back to me. We gentil petit cou-tou!” “Quel “Qu'i lest charmant “Iel, mon vieux! i ae 2 were standing by a table in the corner of the ee room and from among the objets d'art, the vari- | ae re ‘trinkets, the signed photographs in silver | ¢eames, with which it was loaded, he drew for- - ward a silver bow! that he used as a cendrier. As | ~—s_- gy @ropped the ash of my cigarette into it, I no- theed that it was pierced on one side near the : rim by a perfectly round hole, the jagged edges of which were thrust inward; plainly a bullet~ ; doubtless it had a history. I asked him. "Yes, a’bullet-hole,” he said. “In China, it od on my Gesk, and one day during the riots : 3 gee en ae See. : jagged bullet-hole and a history ent subject for conversation; the ‘ guests pressed up to see: such a will be printed entire in the Post-Dispatch, a full page German Minister had to recount the circum- stances several times. “T have never had a post,” he said, “where there has not been trouble; in Turkey it was the Revolution; in China it was the Boxers. Iamea bird of ill-omen.” “Je suis un oiseau de mauvais augure.”’ '. He laughed, standing there very erect and tall and distinguished, with his pointed black mus- tache, raising his cigarette delicately to his lips with a wide and elegant gesture, while the guests purred about, examined the silver bowl, thrust their fingers into the bullet-hole. “But now,” he went on, “I have the most tran- quil post in Europe; nothihg can happen in Brussels.”’ And we all fell to celebrating the peace, the calm, the reposé of the loveliest, the most charming city in Europe. .. . I think we all felt the relief that the end of the season brought us, for Mr. von Below’s was the last of the long series of dinners and formal functions of the winter. There were only a few more moments to be got over; then the footmen would wheel in the service of the tea, and dis- creetly whisper, ‘‘La voiture est avancee,”’ and we could go. And then Bois Fleuri, and the links at Ravenstein, and the long manuscript of the novel I had so long wished to write! I went over to where Prince Koudacheff, our Russian colleague, was standing by a great red curtain at the entrance to the adjoining salon, peering with that sWarp, cynical glance out ata world that had stripped him of his last illusion. It was always a pleasure to chat with Prince Koudacheff; Nell had had him at the dinner table. He was so good at heart in his Russian way, and his incorrigible pessimism was ‘so de- lightful! But near by, in the great hall, one of the German secretaries of legation was recount- ing the history of an enormous oil paint- ing of the Kaiser that hung over the staircase; the history was neither important nor interesting, but since the portrait was of the Kaiser, the secretary adopted the courtier’s tone in speaking of it, and I could like the young Belgian who, glancing up at the theatrical figure in its bald and too vivid colors and squinting at the light, said: “Il serait permis de dire, n'est-ce pas, que comme art, la peinture n’est pas fameuse?” (“One might say, don’t you think, that, as art, the painting dcesn’t amount to much?”) ' But then Mr. von Below was said to be a man of superb taste; he played the piano well, and had a knowledge of all the arts. Under him the German Legation would be immensely im- proved; he had already set out a new formal] garden; he would enhance the already widening German influence in Belgium; his dinners that spring had been excellent; the Bourgogne we had just had for dinner, for instance, was the famous Chateau——-Chose 1873. - [ A Gay, Crowded Season | \ IT. |. had been a brilliant and a crowded segson, even if its beginnings had been touched by the shadow of the mourning for the Countess of Flanders, the mother of the King, from which the Court was just emerging. The two salons bleus, with which the season at Brussels begins, had been given at the Palais, and the Queen's garden party, with which it ends, in the summer palace at Laeken. But that year, des- tined to be so tragic in Belgian history and in ‘the history of mankind, had been distinguished > _ FROM ‘‘WHO’S WHO.’’ HITLOCK, BRAND, author, diplo- \ \ mat; born, Urbana, O., March 4th, 1869; son of Rev.

And these events had laughing echoes and brilliant reflections in the Quartier Leopold, which never perhaps had been so gay. It is the quarter sacred from time if not immemorial, at least what would be im- memorial in most of our cities, to the aristocracy, and lies west of the boulevards of the “upper town’’-—-as that part of the city was called when Leopold I came to the throne—and with its solid blocks of stately houses, it extends now eastward almost to the Cinquantenaire, so has aristocracy flourished. Joseph Conrad, in one of his stories, refers to those houses as having given the im- pression of ‘“‘whitened sepulchers,” and the Quar- tier does wear, indeed, an aspect of vague mel- ancholy,.un peu triste, with its monotonous facades of gray or white, or cafe au lait, that have a way of scowling gloomily in the rain that drops down so easily from the low grax northern skies; the houses seem always to be closed, and the persiennes drawn, as though their owners were not at home. Perhaps it is because they are not at home to everybody, though when one of the great doors is opened with a great clatter of chains, by an impassive butler, and one is once within, one attributes the externa] aspect to the res@rve that one finds characterizing every- thing within, surcharging even the calm atmos- phere. . Pe cooties these great doors in other days or as they did roll until the Germans came, and at the other end of the porte-cochere, which pierces the house like a tunnel, one has 4 bright glimpse of those lovely gardens where so much of: the intimate life of Brussels is passed. For the Bruxellois knows the charm of formal] gardens, the mystery of high walls with the lavender blossoms of wistaria, vines or the bloom of a peach bough falling over them in spring just as, from long intercourse with France, he knows the beauty of the subdued colors and-.the ex- quisite lines of the furniture made fin the time of Louls. / The inner doors of these old mansions have a sense of exclusion and intimacy that enhances their hospitality once one is admitted to it: they give into stately halls, with a wide staircase leading up to the great salons with their lofty S carriages rolled as motor cars roll in ours, ceilings and their heavily curtained windows overlooking the street, and the espion to tell who stands at the door without, a device that might have relieved Horace of the bore Crispinus, and delivered Emerson out of the dangers of those awful Devastators of the Day who dwell in every land. The old house, there on the corner of the Rue Belliard and the Rue de Treves, that was the American Legation, did very well for the ordinary times of peace, though it hardly pre- pared for those extraordinary times then lurk- ing in the dark future, when it was to be daily crowded with the victims of tragedies that even Joseph Conrad could not have imagined, and to. become the strange stage of events that are now part of the history of the dear, the charm- ing, the tragic land. There was little hint of those tragedies in the bright spring that came so early in that fateful year. It all seems like a dream now, from some dim land of youth, and in another day when we were all young and the world was otherwise. How long ago, those din- ners at the various ministers! at M. Davignon’s first of all, where an American lady, whose hus- band had just been ordered home, glancing down the long table brilliant with its napery, its flow- ers, its plate, the uniforms and the toilettes of the women about it, and the flashing jewels, sighed and whispered to me: _ . “T hate to leave it all!” lm | , The Impending Fate of We were all soon to leave it and we did not know, and the master of the house was to be among the first, not only to go into exile, while the Germans came to pillage his wine cellars and carouse in that very dining hall, but to hurry on into that longer, darker exile where myriads have since been buried. It all seems like a dream, we say, in our despair of giving a real sense of the unreality of some very real event, and I suppose that what leads one to say that, aside from one’s inability ‘ to give clearness to a rather vague thought, is the fact that such light, gay, inconsequential, natural, and human things are impossible in our world any more since it entered upon this long and endless night and the terrible reality of its nightmare; they are events that belong to a world in which we used to live, a world so changed now that it can never be the same again. And yet there is a succession of scenes that live vivid in the memory; I can even recall with perfect distinctness phrases that were ut- tered, phrases of not the ieast importance, apropos of nothing at all—the old habit of a memory in which arrangements of words have a way of embedding themselves. For instance, that night at the Lamberts’, when the Baroness | ) in a kind of haughty beauty was moving among her guests, with emeralds flashing in her hair, Madame Guinotte entered the salon with her two pretty daughters—they were all in white and might have been taken for sisters, a charming sight—that Count John d’Oultremont ‘stepping before them saying, in his direct, deliberate way: “Bonsoir, madame. Comment se porte votre nombreuse famille?” (“Good evening, Madame. How is your numerous family ?’’) I can see the fashionable cohue that thronged the salons-of the Prince Charles de Ligne’s house there on the Avenue des Arts, in those famous soirees that began at 11 o'clock; the old Prince is leading Nell out to the dining room and the handsome young Prince Georges de Ligne is talking to the Countess Bottaro-Costa. wit And the old Prince Charles is dead, and the Baroness Lambert is dead, and the Count John d’Oultremont is a_prisoner in Germany—they used to call him “le beau d’Oultremont” in his youth, when he was an officer in the Guides— and young Prince Georges de Ligne is dead, killed at Winghe St. Georges, and the great salons hung in red in the old house in the Avenue des Arts are closed and dark. , And again that afternoon at the Wittouck’s: Debussy is playing the piano; his fingers-nails had an odd way of striking the counter of the piano as he played; and there was an actress from La Comedie Francaise, une diseuse, down from Paris for the day, who stood and recited while Debussy played; she had a voice as sweet as falling rain. .. . | standing beside the Prince Napolean, near the great palms of a fountain in the con- servatory of Prince Ernest de Ligne’s house in the Rue Montoyer, looking on the world he esti- mated to a nicety by every one of its various standards. The Princess Clementine is there, ladies are making sweeping courtesies before her, and gentlemen with orders on their hearts are kissing her hand. And then the ball at the palace and the dancers under the brilliant chandeliers, the jewels and the gleam of white shoulders, and the gold lace of the officers of the Guides, their trousers of cherry red, and old Generals whose breasts were heavy with orders, and suddenly’ the King—in black evening dress, his arm in a black silk sling, the result of a fall from a vicious horse in the Forest de Soignes the other day. And then there was the opera, every night if one cared to go, at the Theater Royal de la Monnaie; all the old operas, and the Ring of the Nibelungs, sung by a German company from the Opera at Dresden, with German thoroughness not a line cut—-and Wagner needs a blue pencil. Every one dined during the long entr’acte in the Restaurant de la Monnaie, and a bugler would blow the Siegfried motif to anounce the curtain. Then “Parsifal,” a sCore of times, in French, and “Elektra” and “Salome,” with Richard Strauss himself conducting and the audience gone wild. standing up and shouting its enthusiastic bravos. La Monnaie is the soul of the city. It was in this very theater, at a performance of “La Muette de Portici” that the Revolution of 1830 burst forth. Everyone goes, the men keeping on their opera HAVE a vision of the Marquis of Villalobar Py Photo by Central News Photo Service. KING ALBERT OF BELGIUM. hats until the curtain goes up, sweeping the loges and the royal box with their glasses, to see if the little Queen, who is very fond of music, is there, or across at the Bourg- mestre’s box to see if Monsieur Max had come, and this until the conductor appears, bows, taps with his baton, and the lights slowly die away into darkness, and stillness falls and one enters into that other world whose harmonies are so impossible to this that man has.so stupidly ar- ranged for himself. A Theatrical Setting There was, of course, the theater; every week the company from the Comedie Francaise came to Le Parc: Kraus that spring was playing “Ser- vir,”’ the play whoge terrible climax was so soon to be reproduced on a titanic scale with the whole vast theater of Europe as its stage; while at La Gallerie Max Dearly was playing “Mon Bebe,” the French adaptation of “Baby Mine,” in which for us there was a double amusement in the in- accurate adaptation of a Chicago scene to the French stage. ; = Indeed there was the suggestion of the theater in the whole series of events that made that sea- son memorable. Not that it was theatrical in its effect, much less in intention, but it provided a world only through the theater, as when the special Chinese Mission was received at the Hote] de Ville. . One had some such sensation of unreality in the first moments of the diner de gala given by the King to the new Brazilian Minister and the new American Minister—the vast hall, the wait- ing guests, and the brilliant group of officers at the great double doors, the sudden cry, Le Roi! and the doors swinging open and the King. stand- ing there. And then there was the Queen’s garden party at the Summer Palace at Laeken, in those vast conservatories, with their masses of soaring green and towering palms and the heavy odor | of strange flowers. The garden party usually | marks the close of the official season. It is given | in May, when the flowers without as well as the ; flowers within the royal gardens are all in | bloom, but since it is apt to rain on any day in Belgium, the party, with its reception to the | Diplomatic Corps, is always given in the royal | conservatories, But there was another even in that year that | succeeded the garden party—the visit of the | King and Queen of Denmark. The festivities | of that week began with the reception King Christian held for the Diplomatic Corps at the Palace, his tall form in the scarlet coat giving him the air of an officer of the English Life | Guards. There was the review of the Belgian | army, with a pavilion for the two queens, and a. tribune for the Diplomatic Corps at the Rond | Point of the Avenue Tervueren; a day of heat and ) — clouds of dust raised by the maaching infantry, { the lovable Belgian dogs dutifully trundling their }_ mitrailleuse behind them, the rumbling guns of. the.artillery, and the Guides and the Lancers | galloping in review before the two kings, while | military bands played, and trumpets blared and | drums rolled, and all Brussels turned out to seo, and to cheer. -_ standing and succession of tableaux known to our : - ee eee — HERE was, too, the reception given by aur municipality at the Hotel de Ville.

Te, the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, “In answer to Mrs. Jones’ letter of today, I would like to say, .where are the people with children going to live? We are all not quite as fortunate as Mrs. Jones is to have our own home. I wonder how rhe would expect a family of five, with only $75 @ month income, to pay any more than $15 rent? What would this world be today if all the women thought too much of them- séives to have children. _I hope we can find some good landlords that have a heart and are willing to rent to dual innocent children. ‘A MOTHER. Objection to Zoning S To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been reading various articles in your paper relative to the proposed zoning system of the City Plan Commission and it seems to me that if it is the desire to stop she growth and expansion of St. Louis, the City Plan Commission are working in the yight direction. Through the normal of any city, naturally the business sections must expand and when conditions make certain locations more desirable and yaluable for business than for residence purposes, the landowner should be free td} take advantage of and receive full ben- efit through the improved market value. I believe this zoning system would hin- der the growth and be harmful to the city for the following reasons: 1. It would limit the business sections; it would curtail building; it would leave a lot of old residences to deteriorate in restricted sections that could not be used for any other pufpose and would not only résult in a great hardship to the owner by depriving him of the right to utilize his | property to the best advantage, but would | @ measure prove a confiscation of his As proof of this one has only to view whe growth and developments of St. Louis ring the past 10 years.

Leonard Wood's mes- sage to the people after his visit to the front in || France. ‘ “He gives twice who gives quickly,” the adage expressing the value of quick relief in distress, may well be adapted to our aid in stemming the tide of the German attack on the western front. In the crisis of the battle that may decide the fate of the French and British armies, one man now may be worth from two to ten next month or next year. If a force of 1,000,000 Americans on the battle front will enable the allied armies to defeat the Germans, 1,000,000 are worth 10,000,000 men and billions of dollars later. If the 1,000,000 men are necessary to defeat the Germans, our failure to get them into the fight in time will cost us 10 times the effort and 10 times the men and treasure and sorrow later. Getting enough men and munitions to the front in time to assure the saving of both the British and French armies and the checkmating of the Germans is the paramount concern in this coun- try. | Nothing counts now but the winning of the war, and in the winning of the war our speed in get- \ting sufficient forces into the battle counts for everything—for so much in lives, treasure and agony that its value cannot be measured. To eyery American at home and abroad comes the imperative call to put every ounce of ability, energy and determination into the war. Speed the work. i. —_—? a | a IRISH-AMERICAN INCONSISTENCY. | A number of Irish, some of them in St. Louis, are loud in their advice to the Irish in Ireland the war for democracy, and thus in effect, aid Germany. But they do not, with good redson, advise men of Irish blood in the United States to oppose the draft. If Irishmen in Ireland are justified in opposing conscription, why are not Irishmen in America justified in opposing the draft and refusing to Pfight against Germany? If it is traitorous to incite Irish draftees in the United States to oppose the Government and refuse to fight, why is it not traitorous to incite Irishmen in Ireland who might be drafted to op- pose conscription and give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States? The effect in both cases is the same. : The inconsistency of the Irish-American anti- conscriptionists is caused by fear. But they ought to be afraid to help Germany by giving advice that will incite their fellows over the seas to help Germany. Whoever is not with America in this crisis is against her. » +» ww SS A barrage fire of dollars from “over here” will help our boys to win “‘over there.”’ s+ rT rT LUCKY ALFREDO. The world should hasten to congratulate Pri- vate Paul Caravelli Chicago upon the excel- lent judgment and fine tact of the young lady he has chosen for a wife. Private Caravelli, it seems, was so fortunate as to wih the affections of Mlle. Jeanette Armand of Dijon, France. He was such a’ splendid, such a handsome, such a gallant, dear boy, this brave moldier from beyond the seas, who had so nobly come to the rescue of'la belle patrie. One could be so happy to face the future with such heroic protecting arms about one. One loves, one does not doubt, but one must be sure, is it not so? So the charming Mile. Armand writes the Chicago police to hasten to confirm that in which she has the .most sublime confidence, the good reputa- tion and honest fame of her so well-beloved Al- fredo. And the Chicago police, be it said to their ever- lasting credit, did not wait‘to reply with a slow letter to Mile. Jeanette, but cabled her forthwith that her dear Alfredo was o k.. Wherefore every- body is happy, but Alfredo is happiest of all. Lucky Alfredo! He has a sensible and prudent wife. = = = —- ww Wilhelm, Hindenburg and Ludendorff will strike out in on-two-three order when Grover Cleveland Alexander gets into the game. = = % i i A LOCALITIES HANDICAPPED IN NAMING. gust now is one of the times when we feel the inconvenience of our inventive poverty in select- ing names for localities. Of the Indian nomen- clature preserved the most familiar and important is that applied to the great natural features of the country, to some of the mountain ranges and especially to the rivers. Their names dre on the waters And you may not wash them out. So it was put years ago in a ballad. Some of these names of natural features were afterward transferred to the man-created features of the continent, the cities and political units. The names of explorers and leaders and of the Eu- ropean officials under whom they labored were also employed. Capacity for distinctiveness, -however, often seemed to exhaust itself quickly. The easiest way was to transfer to new localities geographical names already utilized in the old countries. With each succeeding current of immigration have m1- grated also the names of old home localities of which the newcomers have had affectionate re- membrance, The result is that numerous foreign geographical designations have been duplicated here not merely once but many times in different states, and often several times in the same state. Embarrassments first came during our two wars with England. Haste was made to rechristen some localities, but the job was too big. Enthu- siasm for adopted French names was chilled dur- ing little trouble we had with France and some- thing of the same sort came about during our war with Spain, though it was too brief to lead to many changes. In the present state of sentiment many streets, rural townships and towns labor under a heavy handicap in German names, whose recurrence are aa eR oe Eee SF MUM? tomale Skee “VB a ee oe es” Pr a Ste ie PERE OT ae C 5 me be ey: Sih A ek pi Naki BEES So. a \ A A kee ae to oppose conscription at this, the big crisis in| ‘Claim to Alsace-Lorraine, found on enumeration to be amazing.

To change them all would cause great confusion now and in the future, though changes may be looked on sympathetically if they can bé made with a minimum of incon- venience. Whenechanges are impracticable, cha- grin should enforce a lesson. As future areas are settled there should be greater ofiginality in pick- ing names for them and a less slavish initiation of foreign nomenclature. » » » i i A Speaking of investments, we are taking Liberty Bonds and our marines are taking Viadivostok. nnn PD cores shar diene ete emematinne sett THE NEW HOME RULE SCHEME. The new Irish home rule plan passed the Dublin convention by a substantial negative vote, show- ing that neither time nor extraordinary circum- stances have changed Irish resistance. It comes into Parliament on the fourth anni- versary of acute political crises induced by the former bill, which, having passed the House twice before, was being prepared in the spring of 1914 for the third passage, which would enact it with- out consent of the upper house. It was adopted late in the summer, but in September its opera- tion was suspended. until the end of the war. The old measure provided for an Irish Senate of 40 members, the first to-be appointed and their successors elected. ‘The House was to consist of 164 members, of whom 59 were to be the Ulster representation. The new scheme provides for a Senate of 64 members and a House of 200, of whom the Union- ists will be entitled to 40 per cent, a smaller ratio than in the old bill. However, these are only de- tails. In essential principles and the division of powers between. the local Legislature and the London Parliament, the two schemes seem to be about the same. In the case of both the question whether Ireland should be permitted to have a customs system of its own caused difficulty. The new bill reserves’ this point for the future. The local option feature of the former scheme also seems to be lacking. it is asserted that with the rise of the Sinn Fein movement Irish eagerness for home rule has cooled. If, however, the Lloyd George ministry, ignoring a temporary ebulition, puts the bill through promptly as a response to a historic de- mand, pressed for at least two generations, thé world outside of Ireland will have small sympathy for any discontent caused by visionary separa- tionists and other extremists. Will the upper house agree to it as a war meas- ure or must it have the prescribed three approv- als in the House before it can become a law? A possiblity to be regarded with anxiéty is any long delay that ae perpetuate uncertainty, give excuse for agitation and increase the menace of disorder. Having been given what they want, what more can the leaders of the Irish constitu- tional movement ask? a = = i. a A If Wilhelm could get his brother sovereign out into the woodshed, after reading that letter about Alsace-Lorraine and Belgium, the Austrian people would jiave new reason to sing, “God protect qur gracious \Kaiser, save our noble Kaiser Karl.” ==. ™ ~~ wy SS a COAL FOR NEXT WINTER. Consumers who have the means will be wise to take the advice of the Fuel Administration and buy their supply now for next winter. But there are thousands of poor persons who will be unable to do so. And the increase in prices expected dur- ing the coming months threatens to make a pro- hibitive figure for such persons next winter. If the masses of the poor are to depend upon the city’s coal yards next wiftter, as appears to be certain, the city authorities should make pro- vision for that condition before prices go up. A large coal supply should be laid in ‘by the city, to meet the demand. The poor will have to be sup- plied with coal next winter, and money will be saved by purchasing supplies now, not only for the city institutions and the municipal coal yards, but to sell at cost to persons who will be able to buy at that time, but cannot do so now. ~ A de. — Se _— Put in your tin; we’re in to win. a. & rr, THE LIE EMPEROR CHARLES TOLD. Emperor Charles of Austria having wired the Kaiser assurances of his complete loyalty to Prussianism and denounced as false the statement that he had recognized thaf® France has a just Premier Clemenceau brings forward the proof of just what he did say. It is in a letter written March 31, 1917, by Charles to his own brother-in-law and transmit- ted by him to President Poincare of France. It expressed a chivalrous admifation for the “re- sistance” and “‘dashing courage” of the French and adds: “I will support by every means and by exerting. all my personal influence with my allies France's just claim regarding Alsace-Lorraine.”’ The letter explains many things—the repeated rumors of a separate peace with Austria, not a few of President Wilson's utterance addressed di- rectly or indirectly to Vienna and our Govern- ment’s delay in declaring war on Austria. Was Charles, in sending the letter, merely the tool of Prussian camouflage and intrigue for bringing On ah armistice and a peace council designed to have results almost as disastrous as those at Brest-Litovsk ? His present protestations seem to indicate that this is not the case. Probably the world would prefer to believe that the youthful Emperor, newly come to the throne, disillusioned with Prus- sianism and conscious of the danger to his em- pire, yielded to a creditable and perhaps romantic impulse of humanity and sought a peace at least for his own suffering people. If history should show this to be the fact, his present status after Prussianhism, by methods we can understand, has completely enmeshed him and rendered him help- legs, will excite pity. Appearances certainly indicate that just at pres- ent he is in an exceedingly awkward situation in respect to his powerful and intolerant ally to the north, which is not inclined to atcept excuses if it did not Know about the letter. And the reputa- tion of Princes for veracity and respect for the royal word has, through the Fretich democracy, suffered irreparable damage. a. luminated by any other sun. Answers endorses this OUR OWN WAR REVIEW. HIS past week has been another severe test of everyone’s faith, for the Germans are still. trying to decide the war on the front page. Mr. Antwine, who has been forward in the paper most of the week, warns us against believing that the Germans are not going to end it one way or the other in this fight. He says they aré feeding their reserves in as fast as the allies shoot out places for them, and that if they don’t win pretty soon they will end it by losing. Risking their all, as they are, he says-they cannot lose anything less than their all if they fail. Socrates says Mr. Antwine is entirely sound there, and that the explanation of their policy is that the Germans would rather all be dead than live in a world which they cannot rule. He says they. mean by their place in the sun that they shall sit there alone; or that is, that the sun is their place. He spoke at some length on this point the other day, when all the bigwigs and two-story thinkers were to- gether on the editorial page. By the sun, he says, they mean that light by which we live and have our being, the symbol of a civilization in comparison with which all else is darkness. It is quite likely, he thinks, that the Germans, having gone so far as they have, would rather be dead than live in a world il- probable policy of the Germans. He says a peace made after the Germans had all died rather than not have had their way would be a lasting peace, and he doésn’t believe ad other Rind would last.

Foch —what his plats probably are—whether he has strength enough left to strike back at all—whetler he is drawing the Germans on or they are pushing him back. Everybody feels good about the way we have pitched our American troops into the common defense, to be used as those of greater experiehce in this kind of warfare think best.~ It is quite generally known that we have always been willing to make any sacrifice we can make to win the war, and it has never been thought for a moment that pride would deter us from doing what was obviously best. It is the British, a grand lot of fighters, but a stiff-necked nation with an intense dislike to trusting their fate to any hands but their own, who have stood in the way of this sort of co-operation. It was harder for them than it has been for us, and as Polemarchus says the greater the credit: to them, too. Trust Polemarchus for those expressions of fairness which rise above’ the prejudices of life as the morning sun surmounts the dewy fields. Fitz says it is just as likely as not that Foch himself is among those who don’t know what he is going to do. That is as good as an g we have heard in the present crisis. We are after the Germans have been bested and there is time for recalling good things that were said at the mo- ment of tension, that Foch will enjoy it as much as we do. Gen. Wood went through the paper during the week in his characteristic fashion. Thrasymachus, who is more or less of.a follower of the General; says we all missed something by not following this war-like American back to the want page and hearing some of the things he wants us to do. Doubtless we ought to do every one of them, too. We are a great, easy- going people unused to peril and not readily credulous of alarm. The General, who has a certain whoop-tee- doo way about him, knows this, just as we all know the General has a-certain whoop-tee-too way about him and are giad of it at this time.

Apart from these spasmodic activi- ties, the German pilots concern them-. selves entirely with attempts to pre- vent allied observation. They have never yet succeeded, even during the priods of their nearest approach to the so-called ‘‘mastery of the air.’ and probably they never will succeed. The advantages attendant “upon a maintenance of thorough observa- tion, while whittling down the en-., emy's to a minimum, cannot be over- estimated.

But it is obvious that those who guided the R. F. C. from neglected beginnings to the status of task. Only the technical mind can realize all that it has involved in the production of trained per- sonnel, airplanes, engines, air- craft depots, aerodromes, wireless equipment, photographic workships and accessories, bombs and a thou- sand and one other necessaries. Many thousand pilots have been) trained in all the branches of war flying. The number of squadrons' now in France would surprise the | layman if one were allowed to make | it public; while other squadrons have done excellent work in Macedonia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, East Africa and elsewhere. Mention must also be made of the home defense groups, but for which wholesale Zeppelin raids on the country would be of common occurrence. : personnel in France is the business of the staff, who link the fighting members of the corps with the Intelligence Department and the rest of the army in the field. To them has fallen the introduction and development of the various func- tions of war aircraft, besides the H >: to make best use of the vast planning of bomb raids and concert- | ed aerial offensives. On the equip- | ment side there is an enormous. wastage to be dealt with, and conse- | - quently a constant cross-channel in- | terchange of machines. The amount | of necessary replacement is made! specially heavy by the short life of | effective craft. A type of machine is good for a few months of active service, just holds its own for a few more, and then becomes obsolete. except as a training bus. To sur-, pass or even keep pace with the.

J.C Dunn of Cleveland, has es- timated his property loss at $6),- 000 already. Weeghman, among other losses, has just parted with Alexander, who alone is valued at over $590,000. The Boston Red Sox are out over $100,000, in the eight or ten men that have thus far joined the colors. An average of over $75,000 per club is expected before the war ends—or $1,200,000 for 16 teams. Most of these men will be weaned away from the game by war and will never get back intg it, is the prediction of major league leaders.

I PROVE URES ~ AND QUITS FORGE —_—__ ; ‘ Policeman Who Alleged Carr Street District Was Under Control of “Jimmy” Miles Suspended by Board. comshiggyencememesinas The resignation of Patrolman George W. Wackman, Deer Street District, was accepted last night after he had failed to substantiate charges which he had-made in a letter to the' Potice Board regarding the police administration of the Carr Street Dis- trict, from which he recently was | | stricted transferred, In accepting the resignation the board specified that it was “accepted while Wackman was under suspen- sion, pending charges.” The sugpen- sion had been ordered after the board had devoted more than three hours to accusations made by Wack- man and had reported that it found them groundless. Among other things which he alleged in his letter was that James P. Miles, Justice of the Peace and Democratic City Commit- teeman of the Fourth Ward, ‘‘dom- inated the entire Carr Street District, _ from Capt. Singleton down Fails to Substantiate Charees. The board hearing developed the fact that more than four years ago police department physicians report- ed to a former Police Board, of ' which Sam B. McPheeters was presi- dent, that Wackman was suffering from a brain disease and that de- spite this report he had since then been permitted to remain on dautv. The report was made by Dr. H. M. Moore and Dr. Paul Vineyard, after | for some | Wackman had been ill time. Other physicians variously diagnosed his ailment as heat pros. tration, sunstroke and brain paraly- sis. Wackman was on the witness stand before the board for more than an and he failed to give any specific instance of mismanagement in the Carr street district. Before entering the board room he was asked by a Post-Dispatch re- porter what he meant by saying that Miles dominated the Carr Street Dijs- trict. “I don’t know Miles,” he said “T never saw him in my life. But I want to tell you this: When I was on my beat in that district everything was quiet, but as soon as I left my beat, hell would break loose.”’ Resigns When Suspended.

All of these were put on the stand and not only failed to corroborate his state- ment, but emphatically said there was no truth in it. Capt. Singleton testified to the same effect. The board ordered Wackman’s sus- | pension at 7:30 p. m. on a charge of having made a false statement. He | was taken to Chief Young's office to | be officially notified of the suspen- sion. When the Chief commanded him to surrender his star and other police property, Wackman said: “I'll save you the trouble. Give me a piece of paper.” He then dictated this fesignation to a stenographer: “I, George W. Wackman, hereby re- sign from the force.” Statement by Board. After Wackman’s suspension the board issued the following statement: “With reference to the publica- tion today of a letter from Officer George W. Wackman, addressed ,to the Board of Police Commissioners, wherein he makes serious charges against officers of the Fourth Police District, givirig the names of feilow- officérs who, he said, could substan- tiate his statements, we wish , to state that at a meeting of the board held this afternoon all witnesses and of- ficers named by him, including Capt. Singleton, were brought before the board. | “The charges were gone into thor- oughly and not a single charge made was substantiated by anyonejof Offi- cer Wackman’'s witnesses. The only explanation that could possibly be given of Officer Wackman’s charges, and the giving out of his letter for publication, is covered by a commu- Nication addressed to Col. William Young, chief of police, and signed by Dr. Moore, former chief surgeon of the department. The board found, on the officer's own statements, that it was its duty to) suspend Officer -‘Wackman.” Py Wackman is 36 years old.
