The Budapest newspapers, in com- menting upon the appointment of Baron Burian as Foreign Minister, lay emphasis upon the statement that unyielding loyalty to the alliance with Germany is the main feature of this policy. They declare that Austria-Hungary’s foreign policy will not be altered in the least. This view is echoed by German newspapers received in Amsterdam, | which welcome tHe appointment of Baron Burien, whom they point to as a convinced supporter of the pol- icy of an alliance with Germany. The North. German Gazette, the semi-official organ, says the alliance with Germany will negessarily re- main the cornerstone of the dual monarchy’s foreign policy, being a necessity demanded by the historical interests of both peoples. Burian Friend of Count *Tisza. The Vossische Zeitung points out that Baron Burian is one of the most intimate friends of Count Tisza. the former Hungarian Premicr, and that his appointment is equivalent to the eppointment of Count Tisza himself. it may even be, adds the newspaper, | that the dual monarchy’'s loyalty to the alliance will be more sharply accentuated by Beron Burian than by Count Czernin, The Lokal Ammeiger welcomes the appointment of Baron Burian as that * of a true friend of Germany, whose loyalty to the alliance is beyond doubt.

Such a scheme as this might be looked upon with favor even by Crossley and Morton, who are the most active in the move- ment to have Gardner take the sen- atorship now. The effect of their efforts was no- ticeable in Jefferson City yesterday when Senators Goodson of Macon ‘jand Magruder of Sedalia called on the Governor to urge him to take the appointment. Both ere close friends of Crossley, and they are reported to have been insistent, and to have told the Governor there was no ques- ‘tion but that he could carry their senatorial districts in November by an overwhelming vote. The Governor has been told by clcse friends, who are more experi- enced in, politics than he, that if he wants to go to the United States Senate this is his-only opportunity, | and that he must either arrange for his own appointment~ by resigning the office of-Governor, or that he must appoint a man who willnot be a candidate in November, at which time the Governor could be a can- cdidate for Senator by resigning af*- j U. $, FLAG TO FLY OVER BERLIN “GUT ORDERED IN | OUTPUT OF CLAY BUILDING MATERIAL ceuutienimanaeii - Brick, Terra Cotta, Roof- ing, Floor and Wall Tile to Be Curtailed 50 Per Cent. —— WASHINGTON, April 18 (By A.

PHIL BALL SUED FOR $25,000 clay products from 15 to 50 per cent. The order, which will further re- strict the country’s less essential in- dustries and will ,limit non-war building operation, provides for a re~- arrangement and division of clay products manufacture and puts the industry on a war basis. The order also provides that parts of the plants affected will be con- verted for war industries and men. materials and transportation will be made available for war production. Clay products and other building materials, the Fuel Administration. said, are a greater tax on transporta- tion and fuel than any other com- modities and reorganization of the industry is deemed essential. The action of the Fuel Adniinistra- tion, which was approved by the War Industries Board, is regarded as a forerunner of a similar curtailment of virtually every industry not con- sidered vital to the war program.

Prosecuting Attorney Ralph of St. Louis County will file in the United States Supreme Court on May 1» & motion to dismiss the appeal of Thomas kK. Kkinker and L, Cass Mil- ler in the St. Louis County road im- provement case and end the litiga-. tion which has for three years pre-. vented the expénditure of the $3,- 000,000 bond issue voted by the peo- _ple of the county. | bonds. There is doubt, however, | whether they can be sold now. In'! If the motion is successful the county officials will try to sell the 1915 they were in demand and could have been sold at a premium. It is probable that, even if they can be sold, there will be a loss of many thousands of dollars’ in premiums. In addition, the $3,000,000, on ac-. count of the increased cost of ma- | terial, will not build more than one- half of the mileage contemplated in) 1915. The appeal will be attacked on the ‘ground that it is frivolous and it will be pointed out that prior to the in-| stitution of the suit and while the appeal has been pending there have) been decisions of the Missouri Su-' preme Court adverse to claims made by the appellants. Skinker’s main contention was that ' the bond issue was void because none of the proceeds from road _ bonds could be used in the improvement of those parts of a public road lying within the limits of an incorporated town. The Missouri Supreme Court i}in two decisions has held that the term road applies to city streets as ewell as rural roads. Skinker, fol- j i ; ! ; | } lowing the decision of the State Su- preme Court in the St. Louis County case, raised the identical question in the United States District Court, and on an adverse decision carried the case to the United States Supreme | Court. In the motion attention jis called . to the fact that the -United States cisions, has adopted the construction | of a state statute placed upon it by the Supreme Court of the state. The motion urges that a public enterprise | like the improvement of public roads i'should not be further delayed by an | appeal declared to be so frivolous as to suggest an abuse of the right of appeal. A plan devised by bond experts for 'avoiding delay by issuing refunding bonds was frustrated by the refusal | 'of the St. Louis County Court to au- 'thorize the issuance of the refund- -ing bonds. Jefferson County and ad Davenport opens into a full-size bed and comes complete with a set of all-metal springs, The library table has magazine rack at each side. Entire outfit on | Wayne County, however, confronted by the same situation, have issued refunding bonds and proceeded with the work of road construction, and the Supreme Court has decided that /the refunding bond plan is legal. enn ee ere nr eee + one ee) A Diamond for a Wedding Gift.

A Piker Patriot is a man who bought a Liberty Bond last October, one-tenth the size he could have taken, and now when approached by a Liberty Bond salesman, sticks out his chest and says “I’ve bought one.” “PIKER PATRIOTS” A Piker Patriot is a man who can easily take ten thousand dollars’ worth of Liberty Bonds but only takes a thousand. There is no room in this community for Piker Patriots, for ours is no piker town. If you’re that kind you’d better move to some pikertown. You'd better go where you'll have some piker friends. For our town during the coming weeks and months is going to be the lonesomest place on the face of the globe for Piker Patriots. If you can’t pay cash for your bonds, you can borrow a part of the money at your bank, using the bonds as security; or you can buy them at your bank on easy partial payment plan. It is no trouble to buy Liberty Bonds— it is no trouble to pay for them.

Dockery, who is fill- | ing a useful place as Third Assistant Postmaster- | General, have entered him in the list of candi- dates for the United States Senate. | Shall we change our representation in the Sen-_ ate from gum shoes to top boots? | SCHWAB TO BUILD OUR SHIPS. | Charles M. Schwab, the new Director-General | of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, is the fifth man to be placed in charge of the Government's vessel-building program. The American public. has many reasons for wishing that this man, or some other of his practical stripe, had been the: first instead of the fifth. - The easy syllogism by which he may be shown. to be the most important appointee under the President is briefly stated. Success of the al-| lied cause has now come to depend, under all | analyses at home and abroad, on such aid as the United States can give. No efforts, on whatever scale, in this country can make this aid avail- able, as we have been so often told, unless ships | are provided in sufficient number to transport | mén and sapplies to the battle line and to fur- | nish them and the allied armies and civilian pop- | ulations with food. The flow in continuous, ad- | equate volume of men, supplies and food is de-| think of no better simile than: Like that infernal flame that fringed The British squares at Waterloo. In all the jumble of today’s great battle nothing stands out with more tragic clearness than the picture of these Cheshire and Wiltshire Tommies standing four-square against a horde of ravening enemies and pouring into them a murderous fire that should not cease so long as there was an eye to aim a rifle or a finger to pull a trigger. a Se ARMAMENTS AND WAR. One hundred years ago, April 18, 1818, to be exact, President Monroe proclaimed to our people a treaty arrangement between the United States and Great Britain which deserves more than or- dinary attention at this time. An interesting ac- count of it is reprintec elsewhere in today’s Post- Dispatch. By this treaty both countries agreed not to put armed ships on the Great Lakes, and as an out- come of it the Canadian-American boundary has remained for a century the least fortified inter- national frontier of importance in the world. Nor has there been a day in all that time when to rescind it. There have been many clashes, both commercial and diplomatic, in that time. Indeed, war once seemed inevitable as a result of the Venezuela boundary dispute. And yet always there has been a way of settling the bitterest quarrels without pendent, as the four prior experiments have | proved, on the capacity of the Director-General | in charge of the production of the requisite new | tonnage. Steel is the material of which most of our ships are hereafter to be built and if there is any- thing about steel that Mr. Schwab does not know, | his possible deficiencies in that respect are not | inventoried by those with the best knowledge of | his abilities. His Bethlehem corporation is now | largely engaged in shipbuilding. It is said to| make 40 per cent of the steel used in American shipyards. Where is the man who will bring to the air- plane problem the same directing qualities ‘and mastery of general constructive technique’ which is brought to, the shipping problem by the for- |. mer head of the Steel Trust and creator of the Steel Trust's chief rival? * pe ” fe t . . v ee Paes ee « : Pag de SR N ce . 2 2 ae » b ’ o* a~ Pe ee - . ~ & ' — . - . a . 24 wr ie a . . ha . ots Z ice ~~ A >| > * - . or oT —* g "FS 2s > a - SS eg ae ‘ a e : i, _—s 3 : ~~ + 4 iets a * : es. aff a = ws “7? . > ~ a,» “ : ™~ - _ 7. o _* - ~~ > 7 “ ‘ . ; : s : . ~~ -* . 4 £ “* 7 . ~~ %* ’ 4 : « ais on “SP. nigh > “es, Sede — : “a [ ~ oa ? > 33. wd. beg mm ONE, GOVERNOR!” Se ati iin a JUST A A MINUTE J eae St Star os =: SOCRATES AND THE SBNATORSHIP. LAUCON: I suppose you know of the move- (; ment to have you appointed to the United States Senate? Socrates: Yes. It came up aé the agora last night, and nothing would do but I must make a speech. I therefore mounted my soapbox and said that while any man would probably like to represent Missouri in that high place, my own aspirations were far too practical to incline to it. I explained that under our system of government and in our compara- tive crudeness a United States Senator had to be much more representative of the whole state than I possibly could be. - Polemarchus: Quite true. Socrates: That is, while I might represent all that part of the state which askg nothing for itself, I cer- tainly would not represent that not inconsiderable part of it which is not at all interested in other. peo- ple. ° Glaucon: Of course not. Socrates: There is a type of man who goes ta, the Senate. He is at once very much like his state and like every other man in the Senate, for all the states are much alike. He is not the President of the State University, let us say. The chief claim made for him usually. is that his word is good. His grammar is probably bad; but his word is good, so that is all right. Thrasymachus: them. Socrates: We all have. It means nothing to some of us, or to most of us; but it means everything to the people whose influence gets him the office. It insures them their reward. Now my word, in just the sense the term is understood, would not be good, Iam afraid. That is, I would not traffic for the of- fice in that way, nor would anyone ask me to. They + Would say, ‘‘There is Socrates, whose thoughts are beyond the race for whiskey gauger in Hermann, Mo., and who would be of no use to us at all.’’ Not that they would have any objection to the things in which I am interested. It is the things in which men of my sort are not interested that bar from consideration at the present time both President Jesse of the State University and myself. | Glaucon: Is that as it should be? Socrates: I am not quarreling with it very much. We have many very poor United States Senators, but they are as good as their states. I mean by that simply this, that when we all improve we shall be represented by better men. That does not mean that we shall te better represented. Polemarchus: The distinction is important. Socrates: Yes. I am not saying that I would not be interested in many of the things in which any United States Senator from Missouri would be inter- I have heard that claim made for es a ga eet ae ug gg Ome yt - Written for the POST-DISPATOH by Clark McAdams ested. I am only saying that I would not be inter- ested in the appointment of a whisky gauger at Her- mann, Mo.,. and the fact. that I could not be inter- ested in it. disqualifies me for the appointment. It is not that I have the one fault so much as it is that it implies in me others. Thrasymachus: You're out of it, in my epinica. Socrates: Then that is settled.

A Sacrifice That Counts. RS. ‘C. W. SATTERFIELD. M whose husband is buying bonds of previous loans on the weekly instaliment plan, was solicited by. me to purchase of the third also. She told me it could not be done, as they were paying on pre- vious ones, and because of the high cost of food, fuel, etc., but she would if I could point out tom her any way in which she could manage to do it. I went away with the full intention of solving the problem. Returning the next day I un- folded to her a plan that would call for a supreme sacrifice on her part. I pointed out that to have her washing done she paid out $2 per week, and that if she would do it for herself for 50 weeks she could buy two $50 bonds by the sacrifice. I backed up my argument with the stories of sufferings of wom- en in France and elsewhere, and she capitulated. Mrs. Satterfied will do her own washing for~50 weeks to supply $100 to the Government, and has applied to the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., through her husband, for the bonds. NELL HATFIELD, 1362 Hodiamont avenue. Life Insurancé for Her. HE graduating exerctses of one of our evening high schools had just ended. I had placed myself in the corridor at the exit of the auditorium with a few Liberty Bond subscription cards. 1 grasped a young man by the hand who was accompanied by a charming young lady, a stu- dent in our school a few years ago. Seeing that I evidently de- sired to speak to the young man, she very courteously withdrew a few steps, although that was not at all necessary. It took but a minute to get him to sign his name to a subscription blank, for very plainly he had his mind al- ready made up. Observing the earnest expression on our faces while he was signing his name, the young lady stepped up and said, “What are you doing, Edward, signing your death warrant?” To which his spontaneous reply was, “No, it’s: life insurance for you, my dear.’ And seeing it was a subscription for a Liberty Bond she as quickly replied, “Well, it certainly is.”’ W.

Tabbikins had never farm and everything was new to her, so she wanted to look about a bit before she began to work for her living, but in doing so she nearly lost a good home, for the farmer's wife said she was worthless and not worth her keep. “You had better get work,” said Towser. “Oh, I'll go after those mice when I see things,’ said Tabbikins. “It seems to me those little yellow birds in the barnyard that follow about after the hens ought to be caught first: they will eat up all the good corn and meal the farmer put up for ‘the hens.” “Oh, my goodness! who ever heard of such ignorance’ said Tow- “Let me tell you, Miss, that off your head if you touch one yellow birds, as you call you know those aré will grow up to be lived on a Miss ser. will go of those them: don't chickens and ‘hens?’ “You kin, “Why, just to try them. not so good as robins. those little houses back of the in the garden’?

I told you to keep away from those beehives, and now I guess you will.” Tabbikins did not reply. She- crawled under the steps to the house and there she stayed until morning, but no one had to tell Tabbikins to. keep away from the littie houses after that. She stayed right in the burn and caught the mice and at night she did not have to be called to , stay in the kitchen. “(Guess you saw all you wanted to about this farm.” said Towser one day soon after Tabbikins’ accident. “You seem to be catching the mice! alyright now.” I told you I could when I was ready to,’ said Tabbikins, “and no one can tell me anything about this farm now.

AST Tuesday I was standing L on the corner asking every one that passed if they would buy a Liberty Loan Bond. A boy named Jerome, who I hap- pen to know, was doing the same. We were pointing out the ones who we would ask. But business was dull and everybody gave the same answer: “We have some.” Just then we saw a gentleman coming toward us. Jerome said: “I would not.ask this man if I had -to. ._He don't look like he will buy a bond.” But I said I would, and so I did, and he bought a $100 bond from me.

All during the meal I got papa real anxious about what I had to tel! him. As soon as he was through I stood up and read every word with all the expression and ges- tures I could make. Then I said. “Now will you buy -.a_ Liberty Bond?” He was so tickled at my _being able to use such good ex- pression and so much force, that, of course, he bought one.

TT" sale of Liberty Bonds was going slowly the other day : at the Merchants’ Exchange when out of the elevator stepped a tall, lanky, sunburned man. By the looks of his clothes and the way he shuffled his feet one could easily tell that he was a farmer. On passing the table where the bonds were being sold he was asked whether he had bought a Liberty Bond. : “IT ain't bought none yit, but I've , been thinkin’ a heap o’buyin one!” ‘How much air they?” he replied in slow nasal tones. “Fifty dollars or $100. which- said the salesman. “Wal, now let’ § see,’ and he took a piece of paper from his coat pocket and said to himself in half audible tones: ‘A dress for®Suste, a pair of shoes for Bill,” the reat of the list could not be heard.
