Kreyling, secretary of Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union, in a telegram yesterday from V. E. Olan- der and C. E. Michael, members of the National War Labor’ Board; designated as a special committee to handle the St. Louis labor situation. Kreyling is requested to have a _. committee of three representative trade unionists appointed to form a local joint committee with three rep- resentatives of employers to be se- lected by the Chamber of Commerce. This committee shall assist the War Labor Board in putting an end to in- “ dustrial unrest in St. Louis. The text of the telegram from Olander and Michael follows: Joint Committee Asked For. “We request that you consult with other officials of your cen- ‘tral body and immediately select ’ three representative trade union- ists’ of St. Louis to come to Wash- . ington on Tuesday, together with . _ three representative employers to E: be selected by the Chamber of _ Commerce, these appointees to constitute a local committee to as-> _ sist the War Labor Board in an _@ndeavor to settle the controversies ae _ between employer and employee in _ St. Louis.

SILT WILL ADD TO PORT DIFFICULTIES ’ Submarines Will Be Able to Get Out — Commander Tells of Lurid Scene Dur- LONDON, May 11 (By A. P.).—It is declared on unquestionable author- ity that the sunken cruiser Vindictive lies in the neck of the channel at the entrance to Ostend Harbor at an angle of about 40 degrees. It ig ob- vious that a vessel 300 feet long lying at this angle does not effective- ly block a channel some 320 feet wide, but a very useful purpose has been served. A partial and very serious block- ade has been achieved and under the conditions of tide and rapid silt pre-} Nailing on the Belgian coast, the ob- crease. It is not claimed that the sunken cruiser will prevent the egress of submarines or even entirely stop torpedo destroyers. However, it will materially hamper. both, and that is important. German light craft will not be able, when pursued by British forces, to rush full speed into the harbor as they have done here- tofore. That part of the Belgian coast is heavily armed and the small number of British casualties indicates the enemy was surprised and emphasizes German Stories Inaccurate. With regard to Zeebrugge the British Government is satisfied that German stories of unrestricted in- gress and egress are inaccurate. Air photographs taken within the last fortnight are said to demonstrate clearly the falsity of the enemy state- ment. In the case of Ostend it is comput- ed that at least three or for days must elapse before the channel can be cleared and buoys placed between the stern of the sunken cruiser and the land. Meantime the tide and silt will be at work. In the Zeebrugge case the silt is collecting very fast, despite the work of enemy dredges. The position of the blocking cruisers at Zeebrugge is such as that any at- tempt to blow up the obstruction would be fraught with considerable danger to neighboring permanent structures. The smallness of casualties at Os- tend Friday night does not indicate bad shooting by the Germans. . The weather conditions were favorable to the raiders, and the Vindictive car- ried only sufficient men to work her properly. The Vindictive went to her last berth, 150 to 200 yards within the piers forming the entrance to the hafbor at Ostend under a terrific fire from the German naval guns and machine guns on the shore, accord- ing to the Central News. Prepara- tory to the raid into Ostend the na- val air force bombarded the town and dropped bombs continuously on the harbor works, causing fires. Later the airmen were assisted by destroyers and monitors in bombard- ing the enemy position heavily. Sea Fog Helped British, The entire operation was. carried out ’on similar lines to the raid of: April 3, when concrete laden cruisers were sunk in the harbor of Zeebrug- ge, the most important German sub- marine hase. For the second time in a month-a smoke screen was. used successfully. About 2 o’clokrk in the morning a large force of destroyers and coastal motor boats steamed up toward the shore, ti1e motor boats going alongside it. The weather was everything desirable until 15 minutes before the Vindictive was sunk, when a sea fog drove in shore and reduced the visibility of range between 300 and 400 yards. The Vindictive experienced the greatest difficulty in finding the en- trance to the harbor. The enemy loyed star-wheel shells anc gearchlight extensively and for 20 minutes the vessel was in full view of the enemy batteries. As she cruised up and down seeking the en- | British King Reviews | an American Regiment National Army. Troops ‘Parade in London— Lloyd George Leads Cheers as “Old Glory’ Passes Him. : LONDON, May 11 (By A. P.).— Troops of the National Army of the United States arrived in*London this morning for a parade through the principal streets of the‘city. There ‘was a regiment of three battalions in line. The men were brought in frorh a near by camp. Large crowds cheered them in the streets, and they were reviewed by King George at Buckingham Palace and Ambas- sador Page at the Americsan em- bassy. Bright sunshine and groups of cheering people greeted the Amer- icans when they arrived early this morning at the Waterloon Station. The place was crowded with British troops. Although the presence of American soldiers:in London has long been. a familiar ‘sight, this was only the second time Americans had ever been seen in marching order, and it was London’s first opportuni- ty to view a part of the Nationa! Army. As the Americans poured from the big train shed the word passed quickly that they had come, and soon a large crowd gathered, cheer- ing and waving friendly greetings. In a few minutes they passed into the streets, marching over the Thames bridge on the way to Wellington Bar- racks, at Hyde Park, where they were marshaled at parade. sunal message froni the envelope bore the royal arms, and these were addressed: ‘A message to you from His Majesty, King George V.” The message on note paper of Windsor Captle, and written in fac- simile of the King’s handwriting. The route of march through Lon- don was past the British embassy, the American Navy Headquarters, the American Army Headquarters, the American Red Cross and Amer- ican Nurses’ Home and Buckingham Palace. The men in the march past the palace were reviewed by King George and Major-General Biddle, U. S&S. N. A. commanding the Ameri- can forces in the United Kingdom. Plenty of N Music. An abundance of martial musie was oneof the features of the pa- rade. At the head of the proces- sion was the United Statés Regi- mental Band. Heading the second battalion marched t band of the Scotch Guards with drums and pi- pers of the regiment, while the band of the Irish Guards and drums of the famous Grenadier Guards played for the third* battalion. . While passing in review of the King and the guard of honor out- side the palace, the Grenadier Guards played the British national ar them. Members of the War Cabinet, in- cluding Premier Lloyd George, Chan- cellor Bonar Law, Viscount Milner and J. Austen Chamberlain, came out on the balcony_at the War Of- fice and watched the scene with in- terest. | ‘The Premier, hands in pockets. looked down intently until the last American was out of sight. When | Message From King to Every American Soldier in LONDON, May 10 (By A. P.).— ING GEORGE is sending the following message of “welcome to each officer and man of the American army passing through England. csotilers of the: United States: The people of the Brit- ish Isles welcome you on your way to take your stand besides the armies of the many nations | now fighting in’ the old world the great battle for human freedom. : “The allies will gain new heart and spirit in your com- pany.

It} ra fecalis the German sneers at Ameri- ‘ca’s efforts and says that when Sec- retary Baker's announcement leaks out in Germany the public there will realize in this as in many other mat- ters that they have been so grossly deceived by their rulers. The Daily Mafi says that if any- thing is needed to add to the hearti- ness of the greeting awaiting the American troops in London today it is supplied by Secretary Baker's an- nouncement. The dispatch of halt million men is really a great achievement the Mail says and adds: “America has had immense and unlooked for difficulties to contend with. She hasn’t overcome all of them, but is fast getting the better of them. There is very much to be done before America’s weight is fully felt, but the Government and people of the United States are sparing nothing that will enable them to do it.” NAMES FOR 3 LION CUBS OF HANS AND GRETCHEN A PROBLEM Zoo Board Secretary Says the Best Suggestion ’ The Forest Park Zoo has been in- creased by the advent of three lion cubs, a male and two females, the naming of which has presented a problem which C. A! Windmuller, secretary of the Zoo Board of Con- trol, is trying to solve. The parents of the newcomers are rnamed Hans and Gretchen, but Windmuller says it would not be pa- triotic to give them German names, despite their ancestry. Park Department officials were called upon today to suggest patri- otic names for the cubs. The best ones they could think of were, “Red, se “White” and “Blue. ii -Contineed on Page 2, Column 2. | Cie He ess * v - nd tee Be Jose hae re ea pap RANE be 08 is dogs alse’ WEEKE ARRESTS 25 FARMERS — FOR HAVING ‘SLAGKER’ BUSHELS Early Morning Offensive on Commig.- sion Row Is Marked by No Box Inspector of Weights and Meas- ures Weeke launched an early morn- ing offensive against the truck farm-,; ers on Third street today and aiirented| 25 for having slack bushel boxes in their possession. .

Dr. Charles H. Weinsberg of 2805 Lafayette avenue, president of the Missouri branch of the German- American Alliance up to its dissolu- | tion recently, withdrew his plea of | not guilty to the charge of violating the espionage act, in the United States District Court yesterday aft- ernoon, and through his attorneys, Chester H. Krum and John P. Leahy, filed a demurrer to the indictment. He asks that the indictment, based ‘on statements in an interview with Post-Dispatch reporters, be dismissed because it is contrary to the Consti- tution of the United States and be- cause his statements did not consti- ‘tute a violation of the espionage act. The demurrer will probably be taken up by the Court Monday. Text of Demurrer. The text of Weinsberg’s demurrer to the indictment follows: “The defendant now comes and demurs to the indictment and says that the same is insufficient in law) e required | to answer the same for the Sotow: | and that he should not ing reasons: “1. The act of Congress upon | in | so far as the matter complained of is concerned, violates the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which provides that “Congress shall make no law * * * abridging the freedom of speech.’ “There is no averment that the defendant is an alien, who is not under the protection of the Con- stitution, but, being a citizen, the @efendant is safeguarded equaily with the ‘press,’ a representative of which institution, according to the indictment, devised the scheme and engineered the plan which led to the indictment. “2. Neither count of the indict- ment does anything more than recits the language of the statute in the averment that the defendant ‘did at- tempt to cause disloyalty and re- fusal of duty in the military and naval forces of the United States,’ hy making in the presence and hear- "ing of certain’ newspaper reporters the statement complained of in the ipdictment. | Nature of Accusation. “3. Each count being defective in the respect mentioned, it fails to ad- yiseé the defendant of the nature of | the accusation against him, as re- guired by the Constitution of thc _ United States. “4.

Before an indictment ee can be upheld it must allege both e intent and the unlawful act. The — Srescnt indictment is utterly insuf- _ ficient in this respect. There is no particularity in any respect. “5. Where a_ statute employes ' Merely general terms, as is done in | the statute counted upon, an indict- '- Ment which merely recites the gen- . eric terms of the statute is neces- sarily insufficient, because it does not Gvise the defendant of the nature the accusation, does not enable P him to intelligently prepare for trial, | meet ords him no fact which will avail in the event of a plea of for- er acquittal or former conviction does not furnish the court with ' facts from which the legal con- clusion of guilt can be drawn upon ie ce of the indictment. ; .

Particulars Lacking “8. The indictment fails to ad- vise the defendant and the Court as tou many esse:itial particulars. ‘1. The Court will take judicial no- ‘tice that the army of the United SCOPE OF WAGNER CO. States in actual operation as such is! some 3000 miles distant from St. Louis, Mo. That the Post-Dispatch ever reached one soldier of that army there is not even a suggestion. Fur- thermore, ‘the talk’ was had prob- ably in a closed room and went no farther. ‘29. The Court will take notice that the navy of the United States is as- sembled on the bounding billows of far distant seas, and there is not the faintest suggestion thatethe Post- Dispatch ever reaches a single sailor, or that he would even glance at the paper if he received it. “3. To cause disloyalty in the mili- tary and naval forces of the United States depends upon many facts, net one of which is alleged. The Court must be advised of the facts, so that it can determine whether such facts if proven would evidence an attempt to cause disloyalty, and the defend- ant must be advised, as to them, so that he may know what he is to meet at his trial. “4. To eause ‘refusal of duty’ in the military and naval forces of the United States also denends .upon many facts, not one of which is al- leged. The’ Court must be advised of these facts, and so must the de- fendant. The existing war cannot subvert the Constitution of the Unit- ed States. “Indictment Repugnant.” “The indictment is repugnant an‘ itself. demonstrates that the defend- Germ Italian lines, which will make possi- ble the breaking of French lines and cause the defeat of France is, on its face, the mere expression of opinion. “9 The assertion that Germary’s defeat of France will result in a na- val and commercial contest between Germany, America and England is, likewise, mere matter of opinion. “3 It is a fact as asserted that Armentieres is taken.

GELLA Amended Petition for Admin- istration Papers, Filed by William Mongan, Mentions Number of Relatives. GIRL COULD HAVE BEEN SOLE HEIR A Miss Elizabeth Flynn, 18, Tells of Rejecting Offers of Adoption Because ‘ of Love for Her Mother. The filing of an amended peti- tion for administration papers at large number of heirs not heretofore, mentioned will be claimants to shares in the estate of Mrs. Agnes Johnson Cella, who died May 3, four days after the death of her multimillion- aire husband, Louis A. Cella. The Cellas had no children, and thus far no will by Mrs. Cella has been found. In his will Cella left half of his estate to his wife, the value of this bequest being estimated at $6,000,- 000. The prospective heirs thus far named are all uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces of Mrs. Cella on ‘|the maternal side. The heirs added to Mongan’s orig- inal list are Mrs. Mary Flynn, 5549 North Market street; Mrs. Nellie McDaniels, 2119 Eugenia street; Wil- liam J. Donnellan, 3005 Easton ave- nue, all cousins of Mrs. Cella; the children of Thomas Mongan, de- ceased, of London, England, and the children of Bridget Diviney, rine Rush and Mary Hainehan, all | deceased, of County Mayo, Ireland. The scope of an injunction pre- viously granted on complaint of the | Wagner Electric Manufacturing Co. | against st-iking employes, to prevent | interference with their employes and | production of war materials at the. plant; was widened this morning by Judge Dyer in the United States | Court in a supplemental orger for- | bidding interferences with employes | by written as well as oral language. The order was granted on a bill filed by the plaintiff showing the | wording on certain banners carried by the strikers and their pickets in parades in the vicinity of the plant at 6400 Plymouth avenue. A few examples of what is on the banners are cited by the company as follows:. Notices to Workmen. “A scab is one who bétrays his fellow workers during times of in- dustrial warfare. Don't be a traitor. Don’t be a scab. Strike on at Wag- ner Electric Co. Stay away.” “A traitor is one who betrays his country in time of war between na- tions. Strike on at Wagner’s. Don’t be a traitor.” “Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ for 13 pieces of silver. Bénedict Arnold betrayed his country for a commission in a foreign army. Both would make good scabs. Strike on at Wagner Electric. Co. Stay away.” The present strike, which is the second at the Wagner plant this year, began April 25. A temporary injunction was grant- ed May 2, forbidding interference with the company’s business, partic- ularly by picketing the piants and at- tempting to unionize employes “‘with- out their consent,” by representing to them that they would suffer trouble if they did not enter the union. ; ! will be discomfited. There is noth- ing but opinion expressed through- out the talk. There !s no falsifica- tion, no distortion of fact, no-argu- ment of dissuasion, no misrepresen- tation, no appeal to refuse duties) or disobey orders, from the begin- ning to the end. If this sort of thing evidences an attempt to create disloyalty and refusal of duty in the military and naval forces of the United States, nearly all of the news- paper men of the United States should have been incarcerated for violations in like regard under the Act of June 15, 1917, because of statements merely of opinion or pre- diction which were not verified tm the end. ‘Wherefore, the defendant prays judgment, that the said indictment be held for naught and that he may be hence discharged.’ MAN SAVED FROM GAS FUMES Wife Had Demanded Arrest, Say- ing He Choked Her. Mrs. William J. Whiteside of 5433 Page boulevard, when found crying on the street in front of her home at 5:30 p. m. yesterday, told a police- man that her husband had choked her. She demanded his arrest. Upon entering the Whiteside apartment, the pbdliceman found Whiteside stretched out on the kitch- en floor, the burners of the gas range turned on.

It was learned yesterday? 'administratorship hearing at Clayton, ‘that Miss Elizabeth Flynn, 18-year- old daughter of Mrs. Mary Flynn of 5549 North Market street, might have | been the adopted daughter and heir of the Cellas if she had not loved her mother too much to leave her. She revealed this to a Post-Dis- patch reporter after she had testified in the’ hearing to determine whether Mrs. Cella’s estate shall be adminis- tered by William Mongan, her uncle, or by Public Administrator Mueller ot St. Louis County. The hearing was continued to next Wednesday, when the lawyers will file their briefs. Cella died April 29, leaving an estate of an estimated value of $12,-. 000,000, half of which he willed to his wife, who died May 3. Spent Much Time at Home, Attorney Joseph C. McAtee, rep- resenting the public administrator, questioned witnesses as to whether ‘Miss Flynn was ‘‘the legal or equi- table heir’ of the Cellas. It was established that she had spent much of her time with them in the last six years at their home, Wildwood, St. Louis County. She testified that when she traveled with them she was registered at hotels as a mem- ber of the family. Miss Flynn was not permitted to testify at the hearing as to whether she was legally adopted, but after it adjourned she said she was not. She told a reporter that in the last six years the Cellas had repeat- edly urged her to permit them to adopt her legally and take her into their family as their own child.. _ “I refused because I loved my mother so much,”’ she said. Questioned About Jewels. While testifying at the adminis- tratorship hearing, Miss Flynn was asked as to the whereabouts of $10,- (00 worth of jewelry which belonged to Mrs. Cella. She said Mrs. Cella gave the jewelry to her early in Feb- ruary, a few days before Mrs. Cella was taken to the St. Luke’s Hos- pital, where she died. She seid she rad acted as manager of the Cella home, “Wildwood,” ftom Jan. 1 last, until Feb. 10. Mrs. Cella, she said, took her to the safe deposit depart- ment of the Mississippi Valley Trust: Co. and opened a deposit box and showed her the jewels, saying: “Elizabeth, if anything happens to me, these are to be yours.” Miss Flynn, when asked as to the present whereabouts of the jewelry, said: “It is in another safe deposit box in my name.” A $40 Diamond Rin for only $1 a Loftis Bros. & Co., 2d week. oor, 308 N. 6th. —Adv, 12 Years at 68 for Killing Son.

By WILLIAM H. TAFT. (By Courtesy of the Philadelphia ? PHILADELPHIA, May 11.—The change of the peaceful ways of a de- mocracy to the stern and effective methods of war is slow and exasper- ating. The blunders are many. The tolerance of a people trained in free- dom of speech and press persists until ended by a symptom of lawless violence. Into the slow, creaking machinery of a bureaucracy any in- telligent citizen without previous ex-. perience can shortly fit himself as a cog and escape censure. Not so in war. The expansion of Govern- mental agencies demanded by war is likely to break the machinery down before it can be made over and adapted to our war needs. This is the stage of our preparation through which we have been passing. We really wére not advised as to the ex- tent of the task before us. Many, including those high in authority, cherished the hope, and acted on it, that we could win the war by con- tributions of money and material without using much of our man- power. Such hopes have now been dissipated in money, material and man-power. Today we are the chief hope of defeating Germany in the minds of all. Weare slowly making progress toward meeting this hope. The sa®otage act, the espionage act and the amendment to it called the sedition bill, taken with the power the President will have under the Overman bill to reorganize the whole secret service and to concentrate un- der one competent head the machin- ery for detecting and punishing treason, sedition and German prop- aganda, constitute a real step for- ward. They will enable the exec- utive to suppress a drag upon our war efficiency which has given well- informed persons great concern. The mere expression of treasonable senti- ment can be promptly punished with severity, and lawless violence against suspected persons should be given no excuse. Wheat Crop Outlook Good. The prospect for a great wheat crop is most favorable. The experi- ' menting which Mr. Hoover has been able to do gives him a valuable knowledge of methods and results. With more ships available and more wheat we can feed our army and our allies more successfully thiS coming year than in the past. The failure to build and complete aircraft and the heavier Browning machine guns is most trying. The reason when developed will not be found in German conspiracy or in graft, but only in a chain of causes 'which include: First, an unwise de- A man_/| Sire to improve on-tried plans in or- | der to secure something near per- The lapdog of | fection; second, consequent changes, This petition is incomplete | ‘the law takes that man by the scruff | numerous beyond belief, in drawings third, ignorance by de- signers and bureau chiefs of the de- | you of your jobs and the police come| Vice; and, fourth, a lack in those re- What’s the | sponsible of practical experience in Why don’t you| 2 problem of production on so large a scale.

You send word to the Secretary of War to come out here and take over the plant and run it for you. It’s yours anyway. ‘When my brave boys marched away to fight in France, they said to me, ‘Mother Jones, we are going over to fight for freedom of the seas; you tell the boys who stay at home to fight as hard for freedom of indus- toe” A The strikets gave their greatest cheers of the afternoon to that state- ment. “Don’t you give in an inch. This strike is won for you now. Let me see you wake up and fight,” Mother Jones concluded. Strike leaders the declared to | meeting that a-emall body of machine mechanics had gone back to work | yesterday on threats that the Wag-. ner company, which had gained them exemption from the army draft, would withdraw its support and the men would be compelled to go to war. “If the Wagner company gained exemption for you to do war work at home, they gained you the right to work wherever you choose under the Stars and Stripes,” the speakers stat- ed. Figures were read, which were said to be a count by pickets of men go- ing into the Wagner plants, to show that only a few more than 300 men were at work. . It was announced that a meeting of union labor was planned, when it was hoped that from 15,000 to 25,000 workers would gather at the Coli- seum, to pledge their loyalty to the United States and to adopt resolu- tions demanding that the Federal Government take over and operate plant in St. Louis at which strikes were in progress. 60 YEARS IN SERVICE.

We may be confident tnat the production of machine guns, and aircraft, too, in the light of our many mistakes, with the aid of American ingenuity, and under the pressure of public demand in a few months will reach proper extent. The same is true of our field artillery. We can see the production of new thips grow. We know that in anoth- er year, after much experiment and unnecessary delays, our shipyards will turn out tonnage enough to surprise the world We are now every month sending abroad trained troops equal in num- ber to the maximum strength of our army in ante-bellum days. Our present enlisted force is in round numbers a million and a half, of whom the infantry are 650.000, the field artillery 180,000, the engi- neers 140,000, the coast artillery 40,- 000 and the staff corps and depart- ments 390,000. The War Depart- ment asks ways and means to in- crease this force to 3,000,000 dur- ing the ensuing year, and, of course, this authority will be granted. Au- thority is asked for the President to make further increases by order as in his discretion he may deem wine. During times of peace the President has had authority to fix the size of the army within the limitations of 100,000 men. Such power hes there- fore not a new one. What ought now to be done by Congress is to authorize and direct the President to draft, organize and train enough troops so that the men under arms should reach 5,000,000 on or before Jan. 1, 1920. He should further be given power to increase this number if in his discretion addi- tional troops are needed. This posi- tive declaration of a national policy by Congress would avoid any delay by the executive in making proper | preparation. It would relieve us from hesitation on the part of the exec- ‘utive as to our future military course. It would serve notice on the world of our intention to put man-power enough into this fight to win it at any cost. The psychological effect of this upon our allies and our enemies would be of immense advantage to our cause. » Expresses Public Opinion. Such legislation would be a fair expression of the public opinion which is forming all over this coun- try in respect to' our duty in this war. The Russian debacle and the German drive on the western front have aroused our people to a clear understanding of the task before us and how it can be met. They know now from the truculence and brutal unfairness of the Germans in the ex- ercise of power that nothing but de- feat can discipline them into an abid- ing and just peace. Instead of being discouraged by the mighty power of Germany, our people are nerved and stimulated to the effort needed to meet and humble it. They have no more confidence in discussion of terms of peace with the Hohenzol- lerns. The cry of “On to Berlin.” is acquiring a momentum with them, which no difficulties can affect and no lure of peace by agreement can change. City Items in Bref| Patrolman John B.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | ' SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1918. ates ~ CHARGES AGAINST BORGLUM MADE PART OF INQUIRY Revelations Given in Senate to Show Critic Sought to Form an Airplane Com- ‘pany. “TRIED TO CAPITALIZE — WILSON’S FRIENDSHIP” Statements Show Activity— “Frame Up,” He Declares Also : WASHINGTON, May 11 (By A. P.). *—Devélopments in the airplane in- quiry today awaited the effect of revelations of the “Army Intelligence Service made to show that Gutzon Borglum, while investigating aircraft production with the permission of President Wileon, secretly sought to capitalize his friendship with the President by the formation of a pri- vate airplane company. The disclosures given to the Sen- ate yesterday by Senator Thomas of Colorado, in sworn statements, let- ters and telegrams from the intelli- gence service files, represent Borg- lum, who has been one of the chief , critics of airplane production offi- cials, seeking for himself the posi- tion of silent partner in a new cor- _ poration to take war contracts. His ‘gole asset in the transaction, the documents said, was to be “his per- sonal friendship with? President Wil- son,”’ whom, he stated, “he could do anything with.” Hugo Gibson, an employe of the British ministry of munitions, who was located in New York and was to share in the deal, was associated with letters. Among the papers is a formal! state- ment by Kenyon W. Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing Co. of Indiana, de- tailing an account of his negotiations with the two men. 2 Information Long in Hand. The Mix statement shows that Government officials, including Vice S remeant Marshall and Howard E. _ Coffin, former head of the Aircraft Board, have had most of the infor- ‘mation disclosed since last January. There is no indication, however, that it reached President Wilson hinseif at that time, or that the President knew of its existence until several weeks ago, when he called a halt upon the sculptor’s investigations in his name. All documents submitted by Sena- tor Thomas, as well as much other data from the War Department, have been placed in the hands of Assistant Attorney-General Frierson, who has _ gust started the inquiry ordered by ‘the President into charges of graft, disloyalty and incompetency in the Government aircraft. These charges, referred to first in the capitol cloak room gossip, and finally on the floor of the Senate, have been attributed largely to assertions of Borglum. With the Mix statement there was filed a copy of a formal statement a ¢ OG, : a ¥ ~@ + ‘accusing Borglum to the military in- _ telligence section late in January by Henry Harrison Suplee, Mix’s con- sulting engineer. Suplee partici- pated in many of the éconferences ‘with Borglum and Gibson described _by his chief. The latter says he be- came suspicious when he . visited Borglum in Washington during Jan- wary, and was, shown President Wil- gon’s letter authorizing the investiga- tion, and decided to report the whole matter to Government authorities. There are intimations that a great deal of information bearing on Borg- lum’s qctivities and motives had been assembled by the Army Intelligence Service. There is a unconfirmed re- port in official circles that evidence ef German influence in some form Will be brought to light when the full story is revealed. Suplec’s Statement. The ‘statement by Suplee, in the War Department official files, is in part as follows: “1. That in all the relations con- cerning the matter of promotion of @ stock company for the manufac~ ture of airplanes during which I was Present at several conferences with the projectors of this enterprise as @onsulting engineer, I desire to state _ that there was never any other under- a standing of this project but that Mr. Borglum was to be represented in -_ the corporation by Mr. Harris and | that his sole asset in the transaction ' ‘was to be, first, his persona) friend- “2 ship and association with President 2 ‘Wilson, whom he stated he could do - @nything he wanted with. 3. As a further asset in this com- F mercial, venture, Mr. Borglum stat- ee e@ and gave every one concerned in :% this matter to understand, that his 2 Brothers Here, Veterans of 1870, Have 3 Sons AUGUST M. FLORI 8 === Two St. Louis brothers who were soldiers in the French army in the war of 1870 have three sons each who are in the service of the United States in the present war, all of them as volunteers. The brothers are George Flori of 2116 Obear avenue, a retired engineer, and Jacob Flori of 2541 Pennsylvania avenue, a ma- chinist. ete e JOSEPH C.FLORI Each in U. S. Service The sons of George Flori with the colors, their ages and the branch of service each is in are: Louis R., 24, a Sergeant in the 412th Telegraph Battalion; Jules, 21, who was in the draft but voluntered for special serv- ice as a mechanic in the shipyards at Premerton, Wash.; Oscar, 19, a Cor- poral in the 138th Infan@ry. me FLOR, Sel | CHARLES LFLORI. Jacob Flori’s sons who have volun teered are: Charles L., 22, a private in the 364th Infantry at Camp Funs- ton; August M., 19, who enlisted in the Marine Corps and was sent to France last year, and has once been wounded there; Joseph C., 24, a member of the Forty-ninth Engi- neers. e pees? position with the Aircraft Production Board and the Aerial Section of the Signal Corps, U. S. A., was such that he could obtain for their use plans and technical details which this com- pany could use and thus save consid- erably, both in time and money, in beginning operations. “3. That one of the partners of this concern was to have been r. Hugo C. Gibson, who is connected with the British Ministry of War im the United States, offices at 129 Broadway, New York City, who pro- posed that certain patents which he controlled would be used by this company and who also stated that he would be able to influence orders for airplanes in such a way that this company might receive the benefit therefrom.”’ “4, That I was given to under- stand by Mr. Borglum that the present personnel of the aircraft board was highly distasteful to him and he was constantly criticizing their work. That he definitely pro- posed to change the personne! by virtue of his friendship with President Wilson and that he asked me to suggest members for the new board which would ,be more friend- ly to him in his project. That I avioded giving any definite answers along this line. That in the event of a newly constituted aircraft board being formed there would then be no dificulty in securing ad- Vantage to the proposed organiza- tion.”’ A statement by Mfx, made as was Suplee’s to the Army Intelligence Bureau, takes up his story of the proposed aircraft corporation when he encountered on a train en route to Washington on Dec. 8, 1917, two men who later turned out to be Borglum and Gibson. He says he was attracted by their conversation as to the progress of the Dayton- Wright Aircraft Co., on Government contracts, and on getting into con- versation with them himself later told of the desfre of his own com- pany, the Dodge Manufacturing Co, to enter the field of aircraft produc- tion. “These two men intimated to me,” Mix’s statement continues, “that they could produce designs for a plane which would be faster and steadier in the air than the Albatross and which would weigh less. (The state- ment says the Dodge Manufacturing Co. had designs for the Albatross machine which it had intended to develop.) “Having at that time the interests of the Dodge Manufacturing Co. in mind and being particularly anxious to become a part of any organization which goes into the manufacture of airplanes having monocoque fusil- ages, I led the gentlemen to believe that we would welcome any sugges- tions which would furnish the design and power plant for high-speed scouts. Mr. Borgulm and Mr. Gibson were very insistent that I call upon them in New York on my way up from Washington, which I did on Dec. 18, 1917. I did not see Mr. Borgulm but talked to him over the long distance telephone at Stanford. He insisted that I see Mr. Gibson at once. I did so and learned from Gibson that Mr. Borgulm had certain confidential connection with the Government which would be to our advantage as well as to his own.” Borgium Had Staff of Experts. Mix then described his talk with Mr. Gibson and attaches a copy of a letter he wrote to Mr. Gibson giving details of the capacity of the Dodge plant and again laying stress on the fact that design and power plant for a type of plane was all the company lacked to begin manufacturing. He then inserts the following copy of a telegram from Borglum dated Stam- ford, Conn., Dec. 31, 1917: Like your suggestion to Gib- son. Write me fully part you and your company can play. I have staff of experts with -the best foreign experience who can come close to delivery 100 per cent article. Necessary can ar- range finances also with the best New York banks. Washington is watchful but waiting overtime. Your idea and mine should be ‘rushed to the limit; we should guarantee the boys im France 600 of swiftest machines in the world by May 1, but not a min- ute can be lost—not a minute during the next 90 days. A hap- py New Year to you. Mix also described a conference in Gibson’s office where details of the plan were talked over with Harris, | representing Borglum. “The relative proportions of stock in the company was not discussed,’ Mix said, “it being the opinion of Mr. Gibson and Mr. Harris that Mr. Borglum should be ¢onsulted before this appointment was made.” Showed President's Letter. Mix hesitated to commit himself finally as he did not know Borglum’s connections in Washington and on Jan. 15 called on Borgium here when he was shown Borglum’s letter from the President. “Borglum informed me that they had uncovered enough rottenness in the Signal Corps and in the Aircraft Production Board to make impossi- ble the success of the American air program under the present regime,” Mix said. He seemed to particular- ly condemn Col. E. A. Deeds, making various extreme charges against him and: also against Col. Montgomery. At a later conference Mix says he asked Borglum just what was to be gained by the exposition of the men and how he expected to serve the country “by tearing down that for which he had no substitute to offer.” “Mr. Borglum protested he did not want to tear down the present or- ganization of the Aircraft Board,’ continued Mix, “but that he would build up a structure.around it com- posed of men of unquestionable busi- ness methods, and who would rush the American ship program to rapid completion. Had Access to Other Machine De- signs, ‘“‘Mr. Borglum stated that he did not know at that time how to build scout planes or any other aircraft which could be depended upon to surpass those now being constructed, but that through his friendship with the White House and the acquaint- ance with Mr. Gibson, the engineer in the. employ of the British Minis- try of Munitions, he would have access to the best foreign and Amer- ican designs and practices. He then asked me to make suggestions as to a new personnel for the Aircraft Board, and to suggest such men as I thought would be able to carry through the program rapidly and ef- ficiently. “At this point I became suspicious, not of Mr. Borglum’s methods, but of his ability to aid the country by working along the lines he had sug: gested during the afternoon and evening conferences. “I decided something was radically wrong. The thought occurred to me that possibly this man, through his friendship with the President had obtained authority which makes him decidedly dangerous to the inter- ests of the country, and that he might remove from activity those people now responsible for the indus- trial development of aircraft with- out a hope of substituting in their stead a new working force.”’ Mix was surprised that Borglum had talked over so freely these con- fidential war plans of the country and feared that “through the medi- um of gossip our aircraft program might become known to the enemy.” “I thought it best,” Mix says, “to drop all discussion of it (the new first hundred stron healthy people you meet to what they Bn their strength and see how ny reply ‘'Nux- yea Me cis Sullivan. y~ hae ai healthy io men. To make n ron and ceiag form “Oe al © ; Rullivan can ong setaheee a or without an ana company) inasmuch as Mr. Borg- lum did not have the designs to sub- mit for construction, but was prob- ably relying upon his official powers 0 requisition and to get certain in- formation from the Government which could be turned over to the new company for construction.” Mix says he told Suplee, who ac- companied him, that he proposed to lead Borglum on, pretending to be very anxious to start the company. He again saw the sculptor, he adds, vith the purpose of seeing ‘“‘whether or not Mr. Borglum was willing to vse his official authority as a means / to further a private interest.” After conference with Borglum, Mix decided he should disclose the whole matter to the Government. On advice of F. S. Hardesty, his father’s friend, he went to Howard Coffin, and told him without reserve on Jan. 16 of all that had transpired. Mix Was Impressed. Mix states that the confidence of Borglum and Gibson of their ability to build speed scouts acceptable to the Government impressed him and he considered extending his plans for manufacture. He attaches a copy of a letter to Borglum, dated Jan. 4, in which the proposal for a new com- pany composed of manufacturers of component parts of airplanes appears for the first time. Mix explains that the Dodge people would not have cared to share ownership in veneer patents and processes any more than Borglum and Gibson would have cared to share permanently their in- terests in design and power plant. Be- fore the letter was mailed, however, Borglum wired, on Jan. 4: “Did you get my wire? replied ? or Washington? Conn.”’ Mix decided not to send his letter, | but instead wired that he had just| bought the plant of the Gillefte Mo- tors Co. adjoining the Dodge veneer piant, and believed he had provided for body and wing construction, for landing and assembly and for all fit- tings and accessories. He added: “If you can supply design as men- tioned in your wire and propeller, there seems to be no reason why im- mediate operations could not be started.”’ On Jan. 6 Borglum wired Mix: “T leave for Washington on serious busi- ness. Can you see me there at earli- est possible date? Address me Metro- politan Club.” The next day Borglum wired from Washington: ‘Am here indefinitely. Bring drawings, photos or other port- able data of swift foreign planes. See Gibson in New York.” “On Jan. 9, 1918,’ Mix’s statement continues, ‘‘I called Mr. Gibson at the British ministry by telephone and was instructed to meet him in the afternoon at the office of Mr. Comp- ton, an engineer, on the eighteenth floor of the Hudson Terminal Build- ing. Mr’ H. H. Suplee accompanied me on this visit.”’ Compton, Mix understood, was a designer in the employ of Borglum and Gibson, and at his office there THEY GAVE HER VINOL FOR BRONCHITIS And it Cured Her—Read Mrs. Thayer’s Letter *‘T suffered from a severe attack ‘of bronchitis, with a terrible cough, no appetite, no energy, no strength and loss of sleep.

Roberts of the British army, who said he was in- valided out of the service and avail- able for private enterprise. “Mr. Gibson stated to me,” the Mix statement continues, “in this confer- ence, that Mr. Borglum’s connection was with the highest authorities in the American Government and showed me a telegram from a man by the name of Nicholas, stating that Mr. Borglum could put through any- thing that had merit. Mr. Gibson also stated that Mr. Borglum could not in any way be identified with the new company openly and that his interest would bé represented by a Mr. Harris, whom he wished me to meet on the following day.. He told me that Mr. Borglum,was doing big things in Washington but that it was up to Mr. Borglum to explain for himself what they were.” When he was satisfied that his suspicions were well founded, Mix called his father’s friend, F. 8. Har- desty of this city, into conference. A portion of the facts were laid be- fore Mr. Coffin, but the source of the information was concealed. Facts Given to Coffin. Later the facts were disclosed fully to Mr. Coffin and Gen. Squier. The Statement was prepared by Mr. Mix in*Mr. Hardesty’s office and he notes that while he was writing it a letter arrived for him a copy of which he attaches. This letter is on the sta- tionery of the British Ministry of munitions of -war in U. S. A. Un- der date of New York, Jan. 16, and addressed to Mr. Mix. It says: “Dusenburg State that it is Italian about 550 (a peculiar mark) here probably means horse power refer- ring to an airplane engine), being built to special order of Government U. 8. and won't say any more. “This looks interesting, no doubt you and Mr. B. can get the rest of the information. “Hope to hear as to you are pro- gressing.”’ The letter is signed Hugo C. Gib- son. In concluding his statement, Mix says that on Jan. 20 he called on Vice President Marshall and laid full details of the transactions with Bor- glum before him. The following day the papers were returned to Mix with Mr. Marshall's assurance that he had taken the matter up with Secretary Baker and that it would be attended to in detail.”’ Worked on Inventions. Other documents dated as far back as Sept. 14 show that Borglum at that time was working on airplane inventions. A letter from Borglum to Gen. Squier regarding an airplane brake device was also sent to the President. In a postscript longer than the original letter, Borglum talks of two new forms of planes which he said he had perfected as to their major problems. “I believe,’ he says, “and am pre- pared to make good that belief that 20 of my battleplanes, 40 of my fight- | mg planes, and 20 of the smaller} swift scouting machines could be'| built and delivered to the Govern- ment within six maonths. fleet could deliver 100,000 pounds of high explosives on either Zeebrugge | or Heligoland and Kiel canal night- ly for a week, without especial dan- ger to itself. “I will go further. I will, if the Government will order such a fleet, agree to deliver such a fleet a thou- sand miles by continuous flight from | {Or | the base of manufacture ready duty and provide bonds fpr the faith- ful performance of all agreements.”’ This project was offered: before Borglum had interested himself in the activities of the Signal Corps and Air Board, and he describes his ma- chines as ‘“‘tube planes.’”’” Apparently all of the correspondence was sent to the Signal Corps and the: project was turned down, it is said, by Col. Deeds. Objected to Italian Planes, In transmitting the letter to President, Borglum took-occasion to object tothe adoption of the “clumsy, unmanageable triplane,”’: which he said was being vaguely exploited. Presumably this referred to the Ital- ian Caproni, which was being exhib- ited about this time. Ina letter ‘to Secretary Baker on the “same sub- ject Borglum said he desired ‘‘to do what I can at this time to stop the United States from buying or order- ing the lumbering, uncontrollable tri- planes of the Italians.” “We can do better,” he wrote, “in- fants though we are. I want to pro- test against any great outlay of money for the Italian planes if we can create a better, more efficient. safer instrument to do the same thing they propose.”* In August Borglum wrote Prof. W. F. Durand, chairman of the Na- tional Aeronautic Committee, regard. ing tests of certain modals which we had sought to have made at the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology. His original models were too darge for the wind tunnel, the latter shows and it adds that he had made smaller models. A message from C. H. Pea- body, dated May 3, 1918, is attached, showing that these smaller models never were submitted at the institute for test. Borglum Denies Any Plan to Form Airplane Company. NEW YORK, May 11 (By A. P.). —Gutzon Borglum, accused of hav- ing sought secretly to capitalize his friendship with President Wilson by undertaking to promote a private airplare company, issued a formal statement today, denying “any con- nection now or at any time’ with any airplane production concern or any plan to organize such,a com- pany. He declared further that the War Department had “systematically di- rected the opposition” to investiga- tion of aircraft production in which “a billion dollars in 11 months has provided us with no planes,” and charged that “every subterfuge had ben resorted to to gain time.” The sculptor termed the accusa- tions made against him in revela- tions yesterday of documents in pos- session of the Army Inteligence Bu- reau as charges ‘raised by Deeds’ former agent, Mix, and Mix’s en- gineer.” (Col. Deeds, chief signal officer of the army, and Kenyon W. Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing Co.) He denied that he had “used the President's authority improper- ly and in a manner unthinkable be- tween men in mutual confidence.” Regarding his statement, which resulted in a decisio f the Senate Military Affairs’ C tee to con- Such a/| of the statement purporting to come confidential the’ duct a general inquiry into airplane production, Borglum says he re- ceived information some time ago “from a confidante of the President that the administration now pos- sessed a club that would put me out of business if I did not quit.” Hugo G. Gibson, assistant here in the munitions purchasing depart- ment of the British Military Mission, issued a statement defending himself and Borglum. “Mr. Borglum washed his hands of all connections with negotiations looking to our organization of an air- plane manufacturing enterprise as soon as President Wilson granted him authority to investigate the han- Gling of aircraft production,” said Gibson. Gibson's statement was typewWwrit- ten. To it he had added verbally that had the corporation that was dis-| chart cussed ever reached the point of ac- Melvin T.

Cedric a stockholder and declared that ‘in the end I think a good financial rea- son will be found for these charges being made. I believe there may be ample reason for certain persons to consider it desirable to head dff or choke the inquiry which Mr. Borg-| w. lum started.” Gibson explained further that “in 1911 and 1912 he was engaged in the manufacture of airplane propéllers in this city and that a mutual friend introduced him to Borglum, who was interested in airplanes and propeller designing. “Patriotic Motives.” “Borglum was actuated wholly by patriotic motives in the investiga- tion he undertook because he was one of those who were crazed by the rotten manner in which the aircraft program was being handled, ” he as- serted. In his formal statement Gibson denied that he had told H. H. Sup- lee that he had “authority or oppor- tunity’’ to influence orders for air- planes and disclaimed any knowledge of Borglum’s. “confidential” conmnec- tions with the Government, which were referred to in the Suplee state- ment. He said Borglum would have been valuable in the proposed enter- pi¥se only because of his ideas on propeller designing. The statement, prepared after he had listened to questions, follows: “Mr. Borglum, in December, in- tended to engage in a commercial enterprise in which I should have been interested. After he had re- ceived authority from President Wil- son to investigate the aircraft situ- ation he withdrew entirely from any of the tentative arrangements being made for that commercial enterprise giving as his reason to me that he considered dual activity as entirely incompatible with the position he then found himself in. Since he made that statement to me he has not even discussed the proposed com- merciaf undertaking, and, in fact, has consistently avoided any discus- sions when I have touched upon the | subject in conversation. Meetings With Suplee. - “T do not understand the object from Mr. Henry Harrison Suplee. I 1r.et him on not mone than two occa- sions, and had neither authority nor opportunity, nor did I say I could or might influence orders for air- planes. “In reply to a question: I have some patents which would have been one of the bases of that commercial enterprise. “In neply to a question as to the Mix affidavit: Mr. Borglum had.no connections with the sovernment that I know of at tke time. “In reply to a question as to why Mr. Borglum was valuable in con- nection with the commercial enter- prise:. Mr. Borglum was interested in a propeller design of his own, or a suggestion of such, and discussed it with me because I knew some- thing about propellers. “In reply to a question did Mr. Borglum come to you: He did not come to me. I did not go to him. A rautual acquaintance introduced us. Our commercial relations ceased when he told me that He had the let- ter from President Wilson.” Heal Skin Diseases ' It is unnecessary for you to suffer with eczema, blotches, ringworm, and similar skintroubles.

Statement in Full. | The statement in full follows: ' “Postmaster-General Burleson’s fatement was issued formally fron, the office of information of the Post- office Department. I shall therefore Answer it completely and at length ma letter to some Senator so as to Rave it appear permanently in the Tecords, bvrecisely as Mr. Burleson'‘s Matement appears. Meanwhile, I make the following brief preliminary Statement: "The Metropolitan Magazine and Dolliers’ Magazine and the New York fribune have consistently upheld the War, but have also told that small Portion of the truth which it was adsolutely necessary to tell about the Miministration’s failure to conduct @ war efficiently and have only told it when it was imperative so to -ao0 in order to speed up the war. > “Colliers’ has been attacked by Mr. /Mreel, officially speaking as Presi- ent Wilson’s representative, and as gin @& message from the United mates Government to the American meople. He has also attacked the “Metropolitan and the New York '-“The Postoffice Department, “arough the New York Postmaster, 08 March 2 last, notified the pub- sh of the Metropolitan that its March issue was nonmailable under me espionage act. This action was Widely published throughout the Country. It was calculated to do reat damage to the Metropolitan. he Metropolitan immediately asked the Postmaster for the grounds of MS action, but got no answer.

On March 11 the Postmaster of lew York wrote to the Metropolitan Wersing his action of March 2, but ho apologies and giving no cp on. The Postmaster-Gen- Mm, Mr. Burleson. on March 11, re- med to the Metropolitan, stating mt accusation had been made that a article in it was a traitorous ef- mon, but that he did not know sether the complaints were justi- @, Gnd that no order had been is- S about it by the Department. He } hot answer the Metropolitan’s Sion as to what steps would be ‘Metropolitan wrote the conduct of the New Y “ : . ork Post er. “On March 13 the editor of the to Mr. Burleson, Siet comenner teeta ents cee sihiainee “on er that there are great Ppacifists and pro-Ger- mans in this country who would wil- arsine et the Metropolitan magazine usiness because it ts the most strongly pro-Ally and anti-German publication in the country,’ calling attention to the fact that a state- ment attributed to the Solicitor-Gen- eral of the Department was obvious- ly not in accord with the facts and that the Metropolitan could not ac- cept newspaper statements without confirmation from the Postmaster- General and asking for a written statement from the Postmaster-Gen- eral in the matter. He has received no such statement nor has any at- tempt been made by the Postoffice Department to remedy the wrong it did by the Postmaster at New York.’ “At the same time one of the ad- vertisers in the Metropolitan, Mr. F. M. Mansur of Floral Park, New York, received a letter from a man in Chicago suggesting that he with- draw his advertisement because of the editorial in’ the Metropolitan Magazine. Mr. Mansur declined to withdraw it. He notified the Metro- polftan that a special agent of the United States Department of Justice, whose name, shield number and ad- dress he gave (all of which I will give in my formal letter to the Sen- atory called on him with copies of the letters of this Chicago man to him, asi of the replies, and asked if Mr. Mansur had stopped advertising and wanted to know if he was going on advertising next year, and then if he were an American citizen. “The last query, taken in connec- tion with the first two, contained, of course, an implication that was im ef- fect a threat. This shows that the Department of Justice had knowl- edge of the attémpt and lent its of- ficial power to further it, unless the man in question had stolen the spe- cial agents shield which he possessed and forged his name and address. '*The above facts Mr. Burleson cannot truthfully deny, and they ab- solutely demonstrate the exactness of misstatement so far as the admin- istration’s effort to punish the pub- lications which uphold the war, but have told the truth about the admin- istration’s failure to conduct the war efficiently. Second Part of Statement. “Now for the second part of my statement: “The prime example of failure of the administration to proceed against newspapers ‘which opposed the war or attacked our allies or directly or indirectly aided Germany, is afford- ed by the failure of the administra- tion to deal with Mr. Hearst’s papers as it has dealt with certain other papers. “Mr. Hearst is a very wealthy man, reputed to be much more than a millionaire, owningia dozen newspa- pers, more or less, and a half dozen magazines in different parts of the country. At the very beginning of the war the Government proceeded successfully against Tom Watson's publication in Georgia. Yet Tom Watson had done nothing that was anything like as dangerous to this country and our allies and as helpful to Germany as Mr. Hearst has done. “It is interesting to remember that the administration had full warning about Hearst's probable attitude by his previous editorials attacking Ger- many’s foes and defending Germany. I have before me at the moment a copy of the New York American edi- torial of June 6, 1915, signed by Mr. Hearst himself, saying that we have no right to ask Germany to refrain from submarine warfare against the commerce of her enemies, and that the Lusitania was an English vessel and was properly a spoil of war, and that its destruction by the German submarine was in accordance with the authorized and accepted rules of warfare. “After we went into the war on April 11, 1917, Hearst wrote, ‘strip- ping our country of men, money and food is a dangerous policy. Our earnest suggestion to the Congress is that it imperatively refuse to permit the further draining of our food sup- plies and our military supplies to Europe.’ This, of course, was equiv- alent to a demand that after going to war we should turn around and help Germany more than if we had con- tinued to remain neutral. “On April 24, 1917, the New York American said: ‘The painful truth is that we are being practically used as a mere. reinforcement of En- gland’s warfare and England's fu- ture aggrandizement.’ This, of course, was an effort against our ally and an effort to pander to anti- English prejudice in the interest of our foes, and nothing else. “On May ‘17 it advocated our spending all our money on prepar- ing our army and navy at home, ‘and so compelling Germany, if she wants to fight, to come to us,’ which was. of course. equivalent to answer- len to repair the damage done by ih iii 4 + eel aise 4 LJ Le smoot Tt oan tat ron es ’ i i i Bisti Tee % ~ - a e F Hf wag !

MERCHANT SEAMEN IN WAR— By L. C. Cornford. Admiral Jelli- coe in a foreword says these sea- men “have found a new and a glorious tradition in the teeth of new and undreamed-of peril. ing that we would render no aid to defeat. Germany until she had de- feated our allies and was preparing to attack us single-handed. “On May 25 the same paper said of the efforts to float the Liberty Loan: ‘If you want our food and wealth sent abroad to help suffer- ing England, buy a Liberty Bond, furnish the sinews of war.’ In view of Hearst’s continued effort to ex- cite hatred between the United States and England, the implication of this sentence cannot be mistaken. In the very next sentence he subtly attempts to appeal to all men with ‘a feeling of affection for Germany’ by intimating that whoever pur- chased a Liberty Bond desired to see Germany not merely defeated, but ‘dismembered.’ “On July 27 the New York Amer- ican spoke of our soldiers being sent over ‘to be offered up in bloody sacrifice, to the ambition of con- tending nations on battlefields.’ On Nov. 22 it spoke of our ‘interfering in Europe's quarrels.’ “It is absolutely impossible to rec- oncile the Government's action in proceeding against Tom Watson's paper with its failure to proceed against Mr. Hearst's papers on any theory that justice was to be done alike to the strong and to the weak. ‘All of these quotations and many others like them may be found in recent issues of the New York Tri- bune. The Government had full no- tice about Hearst, because the allies had barred him from the cable serv- ice and only through the good offices of this Government have these privi- leges just now been restored to Mr Hearst. Mr. Hearst’s papers have upheld Mr. Baker, have apologized for the war program and have even denied such breakdowns as that in the aircraft program. ; “It is true that since we entered the war Mr. Hearst has at various times issued editorials professing great patriotic zeal at the very time when in other editorials he was at- tacking the allies of America—En- gland and Japan—in the most of- fensive way and thereby doing his best to weaken the effect of our war against Germany, and at the very time when he was upholding the Rus- sian Bolshevists. Such action repre- sents mere camouflage. At this mo- ment in France the Bonnet Rouge is being tried for treason, although in every issue it was blatant with pretense of -patriotism. “By turning to the New York Trib- une of May 8, 1918, Postmaster-Gen- eral Burleson will find an arden‘ tribute by the former German ecorre- spondent of the'Koelnische Zeitung to Mr. Hearst and Mr. Hearst’s edi- tor in chief, Mr. Arthur Brisbane, for having deen ‘auxiliaries of valued in- fluence’ to Germany, especially be- cause of ‘the editorials in the Hearst newspapers.’ I commend this to Mr. Burleson and also to his Cabinet as- sociate, Mr. Daniels, in view of their recent telegrams of congratulation to ‘Mr. Brisbane, these telegrams having been published in Mr. Hearst's paper, the Evening Journal. ' “Mr. Burleson says of Mr. Hearst’s ‘alter ego’ that he congratulates the people of Chicago because they are to have the benefit of Mr. Brisbane's ‘able and unselfish efforts for justice and freedom and true democratic government,’ and Mr. Daniels goes Mr. Burleson one better in expressing the belief that Mr. Brisbane _ will preach ‘patriotism and civic right- eousness." - “The quotations above given de- prive Mr. Burleson and the adminis- tration of which he is part of any shred of justification in this matter. I have a good deal more to say, espe- cially about one or two English and German newspapers in the West which Mr. Burleson left unmolested at the very time of the action of his department against the Metropoli- tan; it will be said in my. letter to the Senator for permanent record.” A book for chil-* Gottfried, disappointea and RUSSIA AMUCK. ERTAINLY a person who was C in Russia during the revolu- tion overthrowing the Czar and then saw the revolution over- throwing the Kerensky Government has had an interesting time of it. That is what happened to Florence MacLeod Harper, who went there as» a magazine correspondent. In order to go to the front she became part of the Red Cross. Her experiences were therefore varied and most un- usual. She had a vantage point from which to see things. She calls her book ‘“‘Runaway Rus- sia.” ‘The title is most expressive of what really happened in Russia. A people accustomed to be driven like cattle, oppressed like beasts of bur- den, and ruled over with an iron hand, is suddenly freed from all re- straint. The result is.a “runaway.” Like wild horses who bolt, they are bound to bring havoc. That is what happened in Russia. Kerensky was so idealistic that he would do nothing to curb either the agents of Germany who were allowed to speak on the street corners of the cities, or the Bolsheviks who preached anarchy. The pendulum had swung from the despotism of the Czar, who forbade all freedom of speech, to a freedom which ended in license. Neither Kerensky nor his asso- ciates realized that in times of war the normal liberties must be abridged and that all decent citizens are will- ing to submit to such restraint for the sake of the nation. The Boli- sheviks, with all their boasts of un- limited freedom, when they came into power engaged in a reign cf terror, arresting and even killing those who they knew did not agree with their policies. Soldiers becanie the dominant power. Ignorant peas- ants in soldiers’ garb sat in jud¢- ment over those who had given a lives and fortunes for Russia. ven the nurses of the Red Cross were not safe from these brutes, who mis- took license for liberty. Any one who dared criticise their conduct was a “bourgeois,”’ and therefore an ene- my of the people, and could be shot by any “friend of the revolution.”’ Persons like Peter Kropotkin, Bresh- kovskaya, Burtzev and others who had spent thefr lives fighting for Russia’s freedom were thrown into prison by Lenine and his clique. Pa- pers which did not agree with the stupid and criminal policies of Trotz- ky were suppressed in regular ap- proved Czaristic fashion. Freedoni meant that ane must howl with the Bolsevik mobs. Radicals, on reading the record of Russia in the past few months. must hide their heads in shame and blush for. the irresponsible so-calied leaders of Russia of today. These irresponsibles have given radicalism a black eye for years to come. From the book one can readily realize that the day will come when Rus- sia will awaken from her delirium and clean house. In that day the German hordes and the Bolshevik enemies of Russia will be driven out! and Russia wrfll begin to live her own life, realizing that democracy means responsibility and freedom means self-control. The Century Co.) THE HOUSE OF CONRAD. HEN Gottfried Conradi came W from Germany to America he was a Socialist, aflame with protest against what he deemed the injustice of the social order, and when he earned enough to send for his Annchen, whom he had wooed in the village on the Rhine, his ambi- tion was to establish in America the House of Conrad, dedicated to the propaganda. He did not succeed very well, or maybe he succeeded better than he planned. His son, given the name of La Salle in the hope that he would be worthy of the name, but without the ceremony of | baptism because Conradi’s hatred of the forms of religion was complete, was promptly rechristened Fred by the youngsters of Kleindeutschland, the German colony of New York’s East Side, and the “i’’ was knocked out of Conradi with equal dispatch, and the Fred Conrad who grew up under his father’s tutelage absorbed more of the Americanism of his sur- roundings than the teachings of the La Salleans. The process of Americanization was completed in the children of Fred Conrad and ’their grandfather, rebel- lious and bitter, suecumbs at last to the same process that has prevented the realization of his House of Con- rad, and with the meekness of a child he becomes, in the household of his grandchildren, out in the western country, the sort of a son America wants her sons of alien birth to become. It is a finely worth while study of America mothering her oft-rebellious and arrogant adopted children that Elias Tobenkin has given in “The House of Conrad.” As in his “Witte Arrives,” in which was traced‘ the Americanization of a little Russian Jewish immigrant, this new story re- veals him as a very earnest and deep-seeing student of the melting pot process. The new story, while it utilizes a great deal more material and is somewhat more diffuse than the other, and there is, here and there, a letting down of interest, will serve to establish Tobenkin more se- curely as a master workman with the fiction materials of immigration and assimilation. (Frederick 4A. Stokes Co.) MORE CLASSICS. HREE more volumes of the ex- cellent collection of classic reprints called “Everyman's Library,” are just from the press. Nos. 735 and 736 are “Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz,” with an intro- ductory analysis of the character of that old rake and agitator by David Ogg, and No. 740 is “Taras Bulba and Other Stories,” by Nicolai V. Gogol. La Rochefoucald, a contemporary. was wont to say of De Retz that he would have been “less and certainlyg less despicably’’ known but for his memoirs. By this work he left ty the world a perennial reminder of his own shortcomings that utterly un- fitted him for the high place to which the church elevated him. The memoirs constitute a graphic pic- ture of the loose morals that pre- vailed in the high society vof the time. De Retz was a contemporary of Richelieu and Mazarin, against both of whom he organized conspir- acies. He pretended to be a great democrat, which was merely camou- flage to win the favor of the popu- lacé of Paris. Most of his life was spent in keeping the kingdom of France in the throes of political tur- mil and, though he actually plunged the country into revolution at one time, he was forgiven by the Grand Monarch in the latter days of his life, which he spent mostly as per- sonal envoy from Louis to the Vati- can. We hear much of the Ukraine these days. Nicholas Gogol was one of the men who dreamed of giving Little Russia—as it really is in con- tradistinction to Great Russia as the ,more northern portion of the old em- pire was known—a literature all its own. “Taras Bulba’”’ is a collection of short stories, portraying the life of the Ukraine. They are highly picturesque, of course, but lack the dramatic qualities that one expects ment. Outside ofthe fact that it is hard to fathom that a cultured man of the exclusive Aldine Club would really fall in love with an uneducat- ed girl of the East Side, New York, whose only schooling had been of few months’ duration in a convent from which she escaped, the plot is well worked out. However, Stringer evidently relies on the old saying that nothing is stranger than love to fill out this slight incongruity in his story. He léaves them at the point where they are engaged and goes no farther. (Bobbs Merrill Co.) A BRAVE FRENCH SOLDIER. (CC vetore Andre Cornet-Anquier young university professor in England. When the war came he de- cided that he must fight for France and England. He enlisted and was gradually promoted until he became a Captain. He was loved by his sol- diers and his officers. He fought and dreamed of victory for his country and her allies. During the spare mo- ments of his busy life as a soldier he found time to write to his mother and father and his other dear ones. When he gave his life for his country, these letters were gathered in a little book. They form an important human doc- ument of this war. They show the ideals of the soldier in the trenches. The translation from the French was made by Theodore Stanton, and a fine translation itis. (Little, Brown, Co.) THE CHILDHOOD OF THE RACE. ARY E.

In June the Japanese Ambassador at Washington, Baron Chinda, com- municated the opinion of his Gov- ' ernment to the Department of State ' that further negotiations along treaty lines appeared fraught with 1, new difficulties and suggested that the Governments revert to the old |'method of exchanging notes on the subject under discussion, . hoping that in thus reviewing the study of | the case a solution might be found. The Japanese Government also re- | quested that the previous corre- | spondence be made public, which the United States did. The solution which the Japanese ; Government | | would suggest is that of citizenship | The contro- naturalization, | involves the problem whether citi- | zenship is a political question to be | determined by the Government con‘ ferring it or an international ques- | tion admitting of international dis- cussion and adjustments. Early in February, 1917, | bassador made representations to the Japanese Am-_ ‘the War of 1812, the State Department wtih refer- | ence to the bills pending in the Legislatures of Idaho and Oregon to) prohibit ownership of land in those |! | states by. Japanese. As a result of ! representations from the State De- partment to the effect that the passage of these acts would greatly embarrass the Government, partic- ularly in view of the critical state of relations with Germany at the time, the measures in question were dropped. The Japanese Ambassador also protested against the portion of the immigration bill, passed by Con- gress on Feb. 5, over the Pres- ident’s veto, which prohibited the entry into the United States, unless Otherwise provided for by existing treaties, of natives of islands not owned by the United States ad- jacent parallels of latitude and longitude drawn so as to embrace Japan. * * * The stand taken by Californians is perfectly just and in accord with legislation that has for long been enacted in Japan. For- eigners are restricted in landhold- ing in my country, and it is but fair that California should enact such legislation as she sees fit to offset this.”—-Capt. Uyeno, attache of the Japanese Legation at London, * * * Article VI of the Constitution of the United States declares in so many words that “treaties made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, anything in the constitu- tion or laws of any state to the eontrary nothwithstanding.”: Capt. Uyeno says further: “There is a war element everywhere, but there is none among people of temperate minds. There will be no war be- cause of the California legislation.” Above and beyond all, lies the great fact that the supremacy of treaties over the local legislation of com- monwealths is not to be doubted, and that under no circumstances can the Government of the United States be compelled to suffer humilation owing to the whim of a state. MISCELLANEOU®. FRIEND.—No recent changes in milk prices. PUZZLED.—If “welfare workers” did any harm, report the matter to the Chief of Police. TRUTH SEEKER.—The Arabians eat less than we do, because their climate makes less demand on them. People of cold countries eat much more than those of warm countries. E. O. H.—In escorting a lady | home, in street car, you may carry | her coat, parcels, etc. You may offer your arm. In assisting her from tfie car you may offer your right hand. Tip your hat as you seat yourself. Kissing the hand is not an Ameri- can custom. B. P.—A British authority, Whita- ker’s almanac, 1916, gives New York 4.767,000; London, 4,532,000; Paris. 2,880,000.

By BRAND WHITLOCK, United States Minister to Belgium. ‘Problem of Refugees. | SUPPOSE I am to come right _here with my” family in* case of trouble??” said a great strapping fellow, speaking in - his @ naccent, who came one morning and. five children and, planting Bs ons tly as I went by. Perhaps I did not ntly respond with the spontaneous gesture of . hospitality that one, especially if one. is an. American. diplomatist,, would like to have Feady in all his relations with his friends and fellow-citizens, for he grew impatient and shouted; “I demand protection as an.American citizen!” He used the word “protection” with .that cu- rious, baffling superstition which characterizes the type of mind that confuses words with acts, that co@eiders problems solved: when the word that defines them has been discovered and pro- nounced. * * ° ‘We-could laugh at him, he was:so badly seared, but I could have wept at the plight of a néwiy-married pair—a youth and his bride, who sat neat, patiently awaiting their turn. - They had been school teachers in the Middle West. They were on their bridal trip and for the first time in their lives in Europe, doubtless for the first time in their lives away from home. All that — bridegroom had was a ticket which, as he led ‘it, revealed’ yard on yard, in almost minable’convolutions, a series of coupons— coupons for. everything, steamships, railways, trams, omnibuses, hotels, in short, one of «those ‘tourist tickets that- provide for every need of a determined voyage, themselves the itinerary and the means of following it. And now, in the uni- vergal cataclysm, the young couple found their coupons suddenly worthless; no one would accept them, nota steamship, railway, bus or hotel—and the bridegroom had no money; all that he and his wife had was invested in that preternatu- rally elongated ticket, which was to have supplied every possible human want, and to have spared them every care and annoyance, so long as they did‘not depart from the narrow, defined groove of travel it marked out for them. Held up there before me in the hand of the bridegroom, and allowedt@ trail out its preposterous length -in impotence on the floor, it stood to me despairing as the pathetic symbol of what long months of éagér planning and consultation of guide-books end histories, of what conversations with obligin ; ahd’ persuasive agents, of what painful economy, of what heroic and stoical self-denial, of what hopes and @reams! I can see the bridegroom ana sitting there, the girl looking into the 8 face with such utter confidence, aha Mid-Western home, with its tt ‘calm, its nalvete. The whole scene was present—-the little provincial town,. the high school, the Chautaqua, the faint apprehen- 3 pe. the thing called culture—my heart went . them. It..was another. of life’s little cous” for Mr. Thomas Hardy of a story for es though Maupassant with 4000 naked would have treated it with his cynical ry,.his hard, pitiless, cruel French. wit. rerum! It.was of a pathos be- alt Yeare, as is eo much of life, alas! se The Fear of Spies. s Awane the Americans was a Ef doctor from co, whom the war had overtaken in Ger- “where he had been studying. He had come : Verviers to Liege that night on a train that was labeled ‘‘Schnell- 4 is.” The train, however, had been an at the frontier the passengera had sand walked; some of the women had “way in a peasant's cart; trees felled and barbed wire entanglements a@their progress, and they struggled on M., AUSSI their ng cases.’ The night — d warm, and they had seen the Ger- | y Mocyre the roadside, resting; the fe:picketed and the troopers were lying found, / emoking. One of the soldiers tat ithe party as it plodded along. ege and thence came to Brussels g man — not only ari American, but | , and for that reason some of ) » insisted that he was a Ger- us Ct ly even we were affected by gestion which produced its phe- | tion halls were already crowded with Germans, there were thousands of them in Brussels and many of them were spies, of course. They were there, Germans, whether spies or not, badly frightened. ‘Voila un espion!’”” someone wpuld cry, and the human pack would instantly give chase. No one, however, was hirt. The Brussels police were tactful, kindly and efficient. But suspi- cions were rife even in the mildest breasts. There was, as it happened, that very morning, a Belgian priest who came to see me, an abbe from the country. He came accompanied by another priest, old, gray and withered, who, as I had the abbe shown in, was left sitting rather disconsolately in the hall. I spoke of this and asked the abbe if he did not wish his colleague to come in; but the abbe, leaning toward me confidentially, said: *‘No, I’think he is a Gernian spy.”’ The abbe. had come to tell me that he had given refuge to 400 Germans in his abbey, and he wished me to take steps to have them re- patriated. “T don’t like Germans,” he said, ‘‘but,”’ and he relented, ‘‘I feel sorry for these poor folk.” I entrusted the 400 refugees to Mr. Gibson, who went at once to arrange for trains to take them out to Holland, whence. they might regain the fatherland. The Americans, who had much further to go to regain their motherland, had been increasing in such numbers that some or- ganization beyond that which the inadequate re- “sources of the legation could provide was neces- sary, and it was then that I had recoursé to a rather remarkable American, who happened to be resident in Brussels, an engineer, interested in several tramway enterprises in Europe and in South America, Mr. Daniel Heinemann. I in- vited him with Mr. Millard K. Shaler and Mr. William Hulse, American citizens likewise, and resident in Brussels, to meet me at the legation, and we organized a committee, with Mr. Heine- mann.at its head, to undertake the relief of our fellow citizens who had been overwhelmed by the war: Funds were raised, a house was rented where Americans might find shelter, and thus by the admirable and efficient efforts of these gentlemen, all the American ‘who wished to go home were enabled to go to England and event- ually to find their way to their own land. The Defense of Liege. s during those early days of} ; the | One evening at dinner-time came the confirma- tion of the news of the superb resistance of the Belgians at Liege. The hopes of the town were high; everyone was expecting the French and the English to come to the support. The lower town was all excitement. A warm and gentle rain was falling, but the streets were brilliant and gay, and the throng drifted through them, singing the Brabanconne and the Marseillaise, and every- where were the Belgian and French colors. The little tables on the sidewalks before the cafes were all surrounded, and passing slowly down the Boulevard Anspach, blazing with its electricity, one heard now and then the crash of broken Blass; the crowds were breaking the windows of German shops or shops -with German names. Over the door of “Chez Fritz,” the great cafe in the Boulevard Anspach, was the appealing placard: “Fritz is a. good citizen of Lgixembours, but this place is Belgian.”’ The night was so warm, the fine misty rain so gentle and refreshing! There was a. kind of gaiety abroad; even the showers of glass from those smashed German windows fell with a merry tinkle, and the crowd laughed joyously. The hearts of all, indeed, were high: Brussels was expecting the French and the English to arrive any moment, expecting the “big battle” in which the combined Belgian, French and English forces were to annihilate the Germans. And then at midnight a new rumor shuddered through the town. Men were going along the streets ringing all the door bells and shouting: “L’eau de la ville est empoisonnee! L’eau de la ville est empoisonnee!” They said that the German uhlans had poi- soned the sources of the water of Brussels. There was no truth in the tale, of course. We were destined to become rather well acquainted with the phenomenon of rumor. No matter how stupid, nor how often disproved, there was al- ways Someone to believe, and in this instance there were many ‘poor folk who, in thefr cre- dulity and fear, went thirsty for days.

We could seldom trace the rumors to their origin. I do not know that we ever tried, but on one occasion I was able to lay the ghost of one rumor that was constantly re- peated and believed during those first tragic days when we were so new to the grim business. That rumor related to wireless telegraph in- staHations. When people were not seeing spies they were hearing wireless instruments clicking. One morning, at 8:30 o’clock, M. Carton de Wiart was announced on a matter of immediate importance and I went down to find the tall, handsome Belgian Minister of Justice in my cabinet, haggard from sleepless nights, But well- groomed as ever, and elegant in high hat and frock coat. He came to inform me that the Bel- gian Government had reliable information there was a wireless telegraph instrument on top of the German legation, the Garde Civique that had been detailed there at my request to protect the legation, had heard it working during the night. The Government, of course, wished to be correct, and as there were no precedents, he proposed that the Procureur du Roi and some of the Justices of the Court de Cassation institute an inquiry, and in a regular, formal and legal manner ascertain the facts. Looking for Wireless ] “But,” I said, ‘‘there is a much more practical way!” “What?” "To go and see. you? Let’s go.” He was surprised, but pleased. I asked him to procure a wireless telegraph expert and said that I would go with him whenever he was ready. He went away, came back in half an hour with his expert, a lithe, agile young chap in rubber-soled shoes, and with Mr. Gibson and M. tie Leval, we all went over to the German legation. The members of the Garde Civique on duty there crowded up to assure us that the instru- ment could still be heard spluttering away, and we routed out the startled old Grabowsky, who was virtually imprisoned there, and with him to guide us, ascended to the attic. He opened a trap-door in the roof, and the lovely morning light came through from the patch of blue sky above; then he produced a frail little ladder and I invited Mr. Carton de Wiart to ascend. He looked at the little ladder, then down his digni- fied front of frock coat; ministerial dignity could never hope to ascend such a ladder and clamber onto that ateep roof. And so I went up and the expert came after me, and then Mr. Gibson, and we clamberei about over the tile and among the chimney-pots: Monsier l'expert went everywhere, clipped a few wires—telephone, no doubt—but shook his head; no wireless to be found anywhere. And while we were looking about I saw to my sur- You'll accompany me, won't | arose, like the morning sun before my eyes, a dark, handsome face, hair carefully combed down, monocle in left astonished eye, high, tight collar, butterfly cravat, smart coat, elegant hands, manicured nails, a cigarette—and there was Signor Felix Cavalcanti de Lacerda, the secretary of the Brazilian legation, the premises of which adjoined those of the German legation. Cavalcanti was speechless with surprise, but I divined the situation, greeted him and said: “If I’m violating Brazilian territory, it’s quite by mistake and unintentional, and I formally and officially apologize.” - [ H orrors of Vise ) He laughed and, J explained and he told me that his chief, behélding men on the roof of his legation, had sent him up to investigate. And while we were talking, suddenly there was a sound, a sharp, rasping sound, broken into what might very well have been dots and dashes— **7-zzt-—Z-zz\|—Zzt—-Zzt—-Zzt—-Z.zzzzz-ttss—” pre- cisely like the wireless on steamships in the At- lantic; Monsieur l’expert cocked his _ head, pricked up his ears, and then we all fixed the place whence came the sound * * ®* and it was a rusty weathercock squeaking in tle wind! And so that sensation ended—to the regret of the Garde Civiqu@ when we went down and in- formed them. It was from ‘Carton de Wiart that morning that we heard our first news of the horrors of Vise: the Germans, after their check at Fleron, had burned the town and shot the inhabitants, When we returned to the legation, the Ger- mans, those peaceful, frightened Germans who were then of Brussels; were already crowding the halls, turning the legation into a bedlam. The crowd inside increased as the day advanced; and as the news spread that we were charged with the protection of German interests, groups of idle and curious gathered outside in the Rue de Treves. And suddenly, Idte in the afternoon, over the pandemonium, there was the horrid sound of strife and angry cries, and then blows at the outer doors. The crowd had rushed upon some German entering the legation, and when the door was closed behind him in the faces of the crowd they began kicking on its panels. But the admirable De Leval went out and spoke to the crowd, while the German cowered behind a steel] filing case back in the chancel- lerie. We telephoned to the authorities and in a half hour a detail of Gardes Civiques was posted at the legation, patroling the streets and all was quiet, and our frightened Germans were waiting for the train that had been provided. Mr. Gib- son and Mr. Roy Nasmith, the American Vice Consul, were rounding up the Germans. The original 400 whom the Belgian priest had shel- tered in the abbey had grown to 4000, and to make doubly sure, I went myself to see M. Carton de Wart. I found him in his office, where there was ai prise, almost at my feet, a trap-door slowly rise, Bag portrait of Tolstoy on an ease]—Tolstoy and them.a head came forth, and presently, ‘there this madness! oe . | kind and not the least bitter toward the Germans. | All had been -admirably organized. Trains had been provided to carry 2500 £Ger- mans to the Dutch frontier that . night. and we had telegraphed Mr. Van Dyke, our Ministey at The Hague, who was to have them met there by other trains, and s0 sent back to their homes in Germany. The Ger- mans were to be reassembled at the Cirque Royal that evening, guarded by the gendarmes and by them escorted to the station. There was to be a meeting that evening of the diplomatic corps at the Papal Nonciature, and Senhor Barros Morerira, the Brazilian Minister, came over after dinner that we might go to- gether. As we went downstairs on our way out, there in the hall we saw a woman in tears; her husband, a German, was with her and he sat there in dumb, Teutonic melancholy. They had with them a little boy with golden curls, one of the prettiest children I éver saw, with the sweet face of one of Raphael's cherubs, who looked up inquiringly into his mother’s sad face. I recog- nized the woman as an American who had been there the day before. She had married her Ger- man husband in Iowa, where they had lived for years, he engaged successfully in business. But he had neglected to become naturalized, and that summer, in Europe on a visit home, had been overtaken by the tide of war. Before such a prospect they were all in terror, he sitting dumbly by the while. f Teutonic Gratitude . Fad At sight of me the woman sprang forward and seized my hand, aa.though I were her last refugs in the world, and with such sobs and lamenta- tions as might break a heart, fell on her knees, refusing to let go my hand and dragging on tragically toward me on her knees. Barros Mo- reira was impressed by the scene, and by the figure of the little boy standing by, receiving his baptism in the misery of this world.. I did not know what to do. I felt the embarrassment of one of our race in such a predicament, tore my hand away, picked up the pretty baby and kissed him, and left—we had to get to that meeting— the woman dragging after me all the way to the doors: 22.8 . When I returned from the meeting I learned that my wife and the mothers and Miss Larner had taken the little boy upstaits and played with him all evening until Mr. Gibson took the little ] family away in the motor to the Cirque Royal, where they assembled the Germans who were to go on the refugee train that night. I had a vision of that bright, pretty, innocent little child, and the little family whirled away in the great whirl- pool into darkness—-to what fate? We should never know, I said, never see any of them agaia, °°. 3 But we did. A few days after the Germans had established themselves in Brussels, the father of the pretty little boy took a room near Mr. Gibson’s apartment in the Rue St. Boniface and. in his quality of German spy, watched Mr. Gib- son’s every movement. XIV. R. GIBSON and Mr. Nasmith were up all M that night sending off the Germans. Mr. Gibson had driven away from the legation that evening with the German-American and his wife and little boy to the Cirque Royal, the wom- an cowering all the way in terror in the bottom of the car. Her fears were groundless; the Belgians are by nature kind, generous, and when the motor drew up to the Cirque Royal and the crowds pressed around it, Mr. Gibson took the child and held it aloft. and said: ‘‘Les Belges ne croquent pas les bebes!” (Bel- gians don’t eat babies.) A big gendarme put forth his hands, took the boy and said: “Mais non! plus!” (No, either.) Ni leurs meres ni leurs peres non nor their mothers and fathers { Brussels in Siege -f 4 B ” And so he and the child led the way into the great Cirque. There nearly 5000 Germans were gathered—twice the number expected. They were, of course, all in excitement and alarmed, and Mr. Gibson had to go about reassuring them. The officers of the gendarmes and the Garde Civique with their own money bought chocolate to give to the children, and later, Mme. Carton de Wiart, wife of the Belgian Minister of Justice, came with hot milk and othef comforts for the women and children. The Belgian authorities promptly provided ad- ditional coaches, and after midnight the transfer of the refugees to the station began., It was car- ried on without incident and that morning at daylight the last of the four long trains drew out of the Gare du Nord, bearing the Germans toward Esschen on the Dutch frontier. The action of the Belgian Government in this emergency was superb in spirit and in execution and the population nobly generous, and I could not resist the temptation to write a note to M. Carton de Wiart expressing my appreciation ani admiration. Not a German was injured during those days, and no more serious harm was done than that resulting from the breaking of windows in the first ebullition of excitement. The German proprietor of the great department store known as Tietz did ftndeed consider that an auspicious moment to adorn his place of business in the crowded Rue Neuve with German flags, and they were promptly torn down. The-Burgomaster of Brussels, M. Adolphe Max, issued a proclamation appealing to the population to remain calm, while the Minister of the Interior published a satate- “ment explaining the laws and customs of war. And that day, Frid&iy, a state of siege was pro- claimed, Amazing German Note iol xv. N incident occurred in those early days of A August that I may as well relate here, though for its sequence’) I shal) have te anticipate the chronology of events. In the early evening of Saturday, the 8th of August, there came to me from Dr. Van Dyke, « message saying that he had been asked by his German colleague at The Hague to request me to present on behalf of the Imperial German Government a message to the Beigian Govern- ment. The message of the Imperial German Gov, ernment was in German and en clair (not in cipher). M. de Leval translated it while we waited impatiently. It was this: The fortress of Liege has been taken by assault after a brave defense.

All the wise men who have garnered the fruits of wisdom and experience agree on this point. Our own Ben Franklin, one of the wisest of men and the found- er of the modern science of efficiency, linked thrift with industry as an essential factor of suc- in life. Here are.several of his maxims which have been the guideposts on the pathway to success for hosts of men: ! If you would be wealthy think of saving as well as of getting. Many a little makes a mickle. The art of getting rich consists very much in thrift. All men are not equally qualified for getting money, but it is in the power of every one alike to practice this virtue, Save and have. If you know how to spend less than you get you have the philosopher’s stone, All a man saves is his own for nothing and his country is actually so much richer. It is far from our intention to urge Americans to get rich while the nation is engaged in the most gigantic war of all times. No American should think of accumulating wealth when all the resources and energies of the people should be devoted to the winning of the war. The prime motive of war saving is to supply the Govern- ment with all the money it needs for the efficient and successful prosecution of the war. If the war is lost, everything is lost. Liberty will be gone; no man’s home or family will be safe. Every man’s property, talents, energy and destiny will be at the mercy of a ruthless and —" con- queror. Supplying the Government promptly with ample funds means a great saving in the cost of the war. The more qtickly the Government can provide the men, ships and munitions necessary for victory the greater the saving of lives and treasure—the less the cost in money and agony. War saving, therefore, like mercy, is twice blessed. It helps the nation to win the war quickly, and thus assures the safety of democ- racy, the preservation of liberty and humane civilization, at least cost in lives, treasure and suf- fering. . It blesses the individual who by saving and in- vesting his surplus earnings or income puts his feet in the road to independence, clear conscience and serenity of mind. Americans who cannot go to the war, but who have a quarter to spare for a thrift stamp can fire a shot for their country and their country’s cause. In the same way they can acquire habits of thrift which will be of inestimable value to them individually and to the nation as a whole. = = ; se. ah Caterpillar street cars might solve the United Railways’ troubles. = ]= ~~ A HALF MILLION IN FRANCE. | We have all had our own personal opinions as to just what Secretary Baker meant in his Jan- uary promise of 500,000 troops in France “early in the present year.” With an optimistic February date some of us sought to introduce definiteness into the Secre- tary’s noncommital chronology. Some of us re- flected pessimism with dates in June or even later dates. But it does not matter now. “Early in the present year” has .come and passed. By how much it has passed is still a question affording wide latitude in views. Optimists of former weeks will insist that it passed many days ago and will look forward to other significant dates in our war chronology. But whatever the hour at which the five hun- dred thousandth man walked down the gangplank of the transport and took a firm stand on the soil of France, he is there now. And if the six hun- dred thousands man is not already there, as many will suspect from the rate at which troops have been going over lately, he will be there very soon. The January promise was also for the landing of 1,000,000 men during the present year, but we are now assured that 2,000,000 will be landed. For every man landed the war will be short- ened by some brief interval of time. Conserva- tion of money, of valued materials for the works of peace during many future years and especially of priceless lives is the high object promoted by an energy so ceaseless as to bring the war to a close at the earliest possible moment. Let us hope that next January’s promise will be for peace “in the present year.” = = — eS St. Louis and St. Louis County exceeded their Liberty Bond quota by $6,000,000. They are one in patriotism, though separated by an arbitrary boundary called the “city limits.” i, i a a MODERN WITCHCRAFT. If there is a smile at the story of the St. Louis girl who paid a fortune-teller to burn a powder that would prevail against the charms of ‘a rival for the love of her admirer, it ‘ought to be a smile for poor human nature rather than for the delud- ed young woman. Deluded young women and deluded young men, too, for that matter, have been investing in love philters for many a century, and probably will continue to buy them for centuries to come. The most of us are too sophisticated to put faith in such nonsense. We do not resort to the char- latan’s magic principally for the reason that we are convinced it will not work. If it would work —what a tremendous difference that would make in our point of view! It is well enough to say that a love that could be procured only through the intervention of mystic powers would not be worth having; that triumphs, whether of the head or the hands or the heart, are empty unless obtained by personal merit. But frail humanity with its fetishes, its charms and its amulets, with its ancient soothsay- ers, its alchemists, its Cagliostros, all its necro- mancers, from the Witch of Endor down to the cheapest palm readers and trance quacks of to- day, has never scorned to seek the aid of the supernatural if it had the haziest hope of profit- ing thereby. How far it has been babel wrong only the metaphysicians can say and the metaphysicians seem to be more at sea on the question than any- body else.

The second British naval raid on the Belgian coast was made more handily and.successfully and with much fewer losses than the first one exe- cuted on April 23. A result from the first raid: that might have been expected was an increase in difficulties due to greater German precautions. The actual re- sult was that the British forces engaged, having learned what was to be encountered, developed astonishing facility in the work. The old cruiser, Vindictive, which had a gallant part on April 23, was converted into a ship of solid concrete by the introduction of a full load of cement and was sunk between the piers in a position where it blocks entrance and egress. Zeebrugge having been blocked tn the prior raid, the use of both of these ports of death for allied commerce will be rendered extremely hazardous, perhaps wholly impractical, for the Potsdam U-boats, if aircraft continue to prevent the removal of the obstruc- tions. Preparations for the second raid were begun immediately after the first. Let us hope that preparations for a third will be undertaken im- mediately after the second, The allied navies have been occupied too much in defense. A use- ful and even decisive part in offense is open to them. To leave the Germans only the Kiel Canal and Helgoland as bases will supplement in ways not to be exaggerated the factors that are already limiting submarine operations. = = i i A The German schutzengrabenvernichtungsauto- mobils have annexed the alphabet, but the;British tanks still hold the and-so-forthy = = ™ a ae. ae OUR 85 KIDNAPED BROSEBUSHES, Eighty-five rosebushes intended for the com- mon enjoyment of all of us, the thieves them- selves as Well as others, have been uprooted and stolen at Tower Grove Park within a month, 40 being taken in one night. Thieves operate 80 brazenly in a Gravois road cemetery that bereaved relatives who leave articles of clothing or adorn- ment at the graves in their lots while they step to another part of the inclosure find their pos- sessions gone when they return. Persons capable of appreciating assets in rose- sumed to have also qualities that would deter them from stealing rosebushes. But perhaps the thieves saw in them only assets that could be con- verted into money. Ought we to hope that the kidnaped rosebweshes had many thorns of sharp- ness and that they took their revenge? Rather should we not hope that enough time was afford- ed to exert on the abductors a benign, gentle, rosebush “influence, inclining them to shame and later to better and higher things? Let a sort of rosebush conscience fund be established to fa- cilitate their return with anonymous acknowledg- ment and no questions asked. Give us back our 85 rosebushes.

In Germany -even the men are deprived of the equal ballot. Who would want to live in a country where “votes for men’’ might be made the slogan of a suffrage campaign, if anyone had the nerve to start it? OLD TIES FOR FUEL. The? practice of burning old railroad ties, on the right of way, merely to get rid of them, has gone on for years. Recently a Post-Dispatch reader complained that a pile of ties had been burned on the Missouri Pacific right of way, near Tower Grove Station. Missouri Pacific officials deny that this oc- curred, and show that some time ago instructions were issued to permit employes and outsiders to to carry them away, at their own expense. Ties are only burned where they cannot otherwise be disposed of. If the reader saw ties burning at the point named, they did not belong to the Mis- souri Pacific. Fuel conservation at every point ra imperative now, and all railroads should follow the example of the Missouri Pacific in encouraging the use of discarded ties for fuel. The country’s timber is rapidly disappearing, and coal is needed for winning the war. Ties make good fuel and should not be wasted. = = _ Se ; A NEW ERA FOR SERVANTS. The ill wind of the war is blowing good to the girls and women who make their livigg by do- mestic service in Great Britain. Under the new respecting and well-treated workers. It is said that 200,000 of these women volun- teered for war work, with the result that so many mistresses and their daughters had to do their own work, that they came to understand and sympathize with the house servant. At a meeting held in the ballroom of Mrs. Herbert Samuel, wife of the former Home Secretary, the cooks, housemaids and scrub women presented their side of the case so ably that the Women’s Industrial and employes, was organized, and a plan was drawn up that will remove most of the evils of domestic service as it existed before the war. The plan is something like that proposed by Edward Bellamy, in ‘Looking’ Backward.” There are to be centers where the workers will live and schools where they will be trained. Their wages will be fixed by collective bargaining, and their hours will approximate those of workers in the great unions. If employers must have extra service that demands long hours, they will have to employ relays of servants and pay accordingly. This will make for democracy and a better fn- derstanding among the people. It will Nft many thousands of women out of degradation and fear of pauperism.

Council, composed of representatives of employers |- JUST A MINUTE SSS LL DLLL LD OUR OWN WAR REVIEW. ET us say at the outset that we were all very ¢ . sorry to lose Gen. Maurice this past week from that small company whose function it is to shed light upon what is going on. -War experts have not been numerous for some time, and casual- ties count. The trouble with the General seems to have been hypercriticism. At a time when the British were hard pressed and badly needed reinforcements, the General went so far as to intimate that the Generalissimo, who happens to be a Frenchman, was not on the job. This naturally embarrassed the Brit- ish Government, and it was not long until the Gen- eral went back through the paper with a can tied to him. What was agreed upon by everybody when he crossed the editorial page was that the British Gov- ernment could not have done less, If allied unity is to be a success, then all those participating in the union must exercise tact. As a matter of fact, Gen. Poch was on the job. Impatience’ with him in a crisis was unworthy of the rest of us; and he properly re- buked us, first by proving that he was on the joh, and second by not saying a word. It was while Gen, Maurice was conducting his of- fensive against Lloyd George from the back of the paper that Socrates pitched the whole controversy to that high plane of thought in which he delights. He said the miceties of the situation when Gen. Maurice cut loose were such that if Gen. Foch had been obviously remiss the British could properly have only hoped that the French would say so. Mr. An- twine said that even in the crude philosophy of Bald Knob this stuck out like a mule’s ear. Nobody on the editorial ‘page paid very much attention to what tha ‘General said after he went back in ,the paper with the can tied to him. It was like human nature to follow one fox pass with another, and it is an axiom of all our two-story thinkers that in such cases judg- ment upon the first offense serves for them all. Anyway, we have left with us Mr. Simonds, who is still in good standing as a war expert, and Just a Minute. Both owe Gen. Maurice something for hav- ing seen the consequence of getting too gay. The business of a war expert is to make plain to the reader what is not altogether plain in the news. That is, the relation of one thing to another is the war expert’s business—not the responsibility of those who command. Mr. Simonds says he has been careful to give the different Generals their heads and keep his, and he hasn’t anything on Just a Minute in that respect. Fitz says Gen. Maurice has had the kiboch put on him, anyway, which we think is good if you an.work it out. Otherwise it has been a quiet week in the paper. Polemarchus, who has been forward, says about all that went on up there worth noting was a speech made on the second page early in the week by Gen. Luden- dorf, who has it figured out that if the Germans keep on keeping on they are going to come out all right. Polemarchus says the Germans admit this, but are not disposed to see how it can be done. After watch- ing them for a couple of days from a point of van- tage on the third page, he somehow got the impres- sion that they were looking to the General Staff to puggest something else. Meanwhile, the nows that | _ Written for the POST- cninisden by Clark McAdams more than half a million soldiers have reached France from the United States rang through the paper during thé week, and there was a much better feeling every- where about what we have been able to do. The paper was paged from one end to the other for Gen. Wood, to see if he could square that with what he said only a short while ago, but nobody answered. Answers says he took to the tall timber along the river column, The way ships slid down the front page during the week was most reassuring. Of course, Mr. Schwab didn’t build any of them or get any of them built; but as Glaucon says, trust Schwab for luck. Glaucon says if there had not been a ‘single ship launched ' since we got into the war, a lot of them would have let go and slid down the moment anything was said about Schwab being in charge. He says Mr. Carnegie got rich backing Schwab’s luck. Whenever he had a doubtful venture of any sort come up, all he had to do was to get Charlie to invest in it. The outcome was certain the moment old Horseshoes got in. Thrasymachus says shipbuilding is all right now. All we have to worry about is Schwab’s health, which seems to be good. Of course, the calamity howlers turned to some- thing else when they saw their game was up at the shipyards. They decided that aeroplanes were what we weren’t getting. We had the pleasure on the edi- torial page during the week of hearing them practice yowling in the reprint column. They make a bunch of coyotes sound like a college glee club. Still, as Mr. Antwine says, that always yappens. Even better news next week—maybe, a be Sa ’ There are 87 different varieties of occupations listed in the questionnaire.

No one had ever heard any sort of vocal noise; so the child was about to be. placed in an insti- tution. The Big Sister took the boy to a hospital, paid for his medi- cines and milk, and today that child is attending a public school. Neither his teacher nor his principal has parae Suspected that the child went through a period of abnormality. A less remarkable but equally en- couraging case is that of a neglected, homeless child who is now doing ex- cellent work in one of our high schools. Her Big Sister found a home for her where she helps witn domestic duties after school hcurs in return for her board and room. The Big Sister supplies the clothes, and the girl is getting along splendict- ly. She is planning to attend Teach- ers’ College and thus become sel]?- Supporting. A less hopeful case, but one in which the Little Sisters are quite well satisfied, is that of Mrs. Brown. Her children had been reported to the court as neglected, and the Big Sister of one of the children became the Big Sister of the family. Mrs. Brown has four children—one nor- mal mentally, three abnormal. She had been deserted by her husband, who was mentally weak, and was in- capacitated for difficult work on ac- count of her wooden leg, but in true Mrs. Wiggs-of-the - Cabbage - Patch fashion, she says, ‘I ain’t got nothin’ to complain of.’’ HE probably thinks hard about S her one normal child, her hus- band’s desertion, and the good leg when she says that—but she says it unfailingly. Now that the Big Sister has clothed the children, found work for the oldest boy, and washing for Mrs. Brown to do, the family is self-supporting—except for occasional clothes from the magic closet, and so Mrs.’ Brown really “ain't got nothing to complain of.” Nor hase the Big Sisters anything to complain of.

Instead of Being Fatal to Domesticity, the Recreation It Affords Has Saved Many Couples, From Divorce Court. dent-elect of the Automobile Club of St. Louis, comment- ed to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday on an interview given by Circuit Judge Wilson A. Tay- lor, published on the Woman's Page of the Post-Dispatch Daily Magazine last Friday, in which the jurist charged the automobile with being a potent cause of divorce. Judge Taylor declared the auto- mobile was making “‘sloppy’’ wom- en—women careless of manners, of the conventions, and even of their morals—and that it was cul- tivating tastes and habits fatal to domesticity. “If the automobile is making any women ‘sloppy,’” Mr. Pin- gree said, “it is women who would be sloppy without the assistance of automobiles; and in my opinion motor cars have been preservers of domestic happiness more often than they have carried their own- ers to the divorce court. Divorce is caused as often as otherwise by man and wife getting on each other’s nerves, and nothing will promote ‘nerves’ like sitting night after night at home. I have per- sonally known more than one cou- ple whom I believe the recreation of an automobile would have saved from divorce.”’ Mr. Pingree has owned and driv- en automobiles since they began to be marketed some 18 years ago. He was one of the first 35 auto- mobile owners in St. Louis. “I have seen the automobile placed under a great variety of charges,” he said, “and nearly all of the chafges have been dis- proved. Nevertheless, it still seems to be the disposition to ‘pick’ on the automobile when nothing else is conveniently at hand to blame for social or busi- ness ills. éé RECALL an incident of the J snancia! depression of 1907.

Bale of Cotton F the world should have to face a | complete and final shutting off of all supplies of wool, silk and flax, the deficiency could be made good by planting more cotton. No one need suffer if every other fabric- making material were lost, for this indispensable plant could supply all our needs; clothes, rugs, bed cover- ings, tablecloths and napkins. It also is the basis of guncotton, and likewise shelters our armies in the field. This does not end the story, for the food value of cotton-seez products is steadily increasing. On almost every table they appear as oil for salad dressing, as butter and lard substitutes. Cotton-seed meal, long known as excellent cattle food, is now baked into bread. The discoverer of the value of cot- ton lived before history began, but the early Chinese and egyptians used and prized it. Before Caesar's time the Hindus had a law imposing a fine of three times its value upon anyone who stole a piece of cotton. Modern nations must come to the United States for their supplies of raw material, for 75 per cent of the world’s crop is produced in this com- try. Practically all of the remainder is grown in Egypt, Brazil and East India. Cotton is a shrublike plant about 4 feet high. The flowers are white atl first, but change to cream color and then are tinged with red. After four days the petals drop off, leaving a “boll.” The boll is the seed con- tainer and grows slowly through the long hot summer until it is about as large as a hen's egs. When ripe, the boll cracks open and the seeds and lint, the cotton fiber, burst forth. Each plant is then dotted with snow- white . clusters, opened the cotton a beautiful spectacie. wht is the height of the busy sea- son on the plantation, for the cotton must be picked by hand, no success- ful machine having yet been pro- duced. The cotton next goes to the nearby gin, where, after being sie arated from the seed, the lint . pressed into bales. The bales may now start upon a journey half way around the world to the cotton mill. und into rolis of batting H oates laps. These g° through the carding machine, which combs out the fibers and winds them — 2 soft, downy rope known as card 8 ¥ er. After passing through the = - ing frames, the slubbers and speea- ers, the cotton reaches the spinning h, revolv- es, the spindles of which, ine 10,000 times a minute, twist it ERE the cotton is cleansed and | must be dyed, dried and arranged in d and arn ready to be dye lied: Two kinds of yarn are pro- duced, the warp fort the lengthwise and the filling for threads of the cloth. The filling is in its complete form ready for the loom, but the warp the crosswise parallel rows or sheets of thread for weaving. The machinery used is al- most uncanny in its ingenuity. If a thread breaks while passing through the warper, a small wire drops and the machine stops. In this way full count of thread and uniform weight of goods is insured. Cotton'cloths may be divided into five general classes: Plain goods, such as lawn, nainsook, sheeting and print cloth, which vary in number of threads, fineness and weave: twills, which include denim, largely used for overalls; sateen, used for dress lin- ing, dresses and waists; fancy cloth, the material for children’s clothes. shirtwaists, etc., and which is also known as scrim, and the beautiful Jacquard fabrics. These represent the most complicated form of weav- ing and are sold under special indi- vidual names or brands for dress goods and novelties. Cotton yarn is sold by the pound, and because of the difference in weaving it is impossible to say ex- actly how many yards of cloth each pound will make. -It has, however, been figured that a pound of yarn should make 3% yards of sheeting. or 3% yards of muslin, or 9% yards of lawn, of 7% yards of calico, or 5% yards of gingham, or 57 spools of thread.

It-was declared that automobile buying Jaust be checked to prevent finan- cial disaster. “Of course, everyone knows now that the charge against the auto- mobile was ridiculous. If any proof were needed it could be found in the fact that automobile purchases have been increasing by leaps and bounds ever since 1907, and that no financial disaster to the country or recurrence of the difficulties of that year has re- sulted. “A comparatively. trivial but no less ridiculous charge once placed against the automobiles of St. Louis was that they were ruining roads by dripping oil on them. An ordinance was passed which re- quired a large pan to be placed under every automobile to catch oil which might drip from any part of the machine. Within two years from the time the pan ordi- nance was passed roads were being sprinkled with oil to improve them. These two incidents illustrate the wide range the attacks on automo- biles have taken. “Putting aside particularities, let us get at the sum of the automo- bile case, which is this: “The automobile is a good—a tremendously good. thing, which has been put to some bad uses. That is the whole story in a sen- tence. ae HE automobile has been no more misused than any of the other great agen- cies for good. The telephone probably is employed to promote more evil than the automobile, yet I do not remember ever hav- ing heard: the telephone broadly condemned. It has been found ad- visable to pass laws regulating the conduct of persons on railroad trains and providing severe penal- ties for certain offenses which at times have been committed on them, but I do not think the rail- roads have ever been arraigned as promoters of ‘sloppyness’ and of other tendencies productive of di- vorce. Nor have steamships, or the telegraph, or the airplane, or the other modern wonders from which soviety benefits. ‘Why the automobile is so fre- quently set upon I do not know, ., and it does not greatly matter. The point is that the misuse of any or all of the agencies for good which I have mentioned are so minor in comparison with their benefits as to be almost negligible. Another point is that the misuses are not the fault of the agency. They are due to the disposition of the indi- vidual. “Persons who are disposed to be ‘sloppy, or to be extravagant, or to make displays of dress, or to seek excitement where the lights are brightest, usually will find means of indulging their disposi- tions in any circumstances. Of course, such misuses as there are of the automobile, or . the téle- phone, or the telegraph, or other public instrument should be mini- mized as far as possible, but when faults are pointed out, remedies should be offered. Criticism which is without a constructive founda- tion gets nowhere. “Much of the criticism leveled at the influence of the automobile on social life, however, can be sat- isfactorily answered. I am sure, for’ instance, that automobiles have not caused extravagayce in dress. The more that people au- tomobile the fewer expensive clothes they buy. Fine gowns have no place in the automobile. The dust of the roads would not allow them to remain fine for long. The automobile riding woman of today is a linen duster clad per- son with an old gown beneath. It was her mother’who “dressed up’”’ for her carriage ride. a a | tomobile creates a taste for restaurant life. I think the contrary can easily be shown to be true. So far as St. Louis is concerned, at least, the automo- bile has taken the people away from the restaurants. It has hurt the trade of every restaurant of importance in the city, and has been largely responsible for closing two of the best-known and best the city has ever had—Faust’s and Mc- Tague’s. Not more than one of equal rank has taken their place in the adjacent country, along the automobile trails. And none of the stopping places, large or small, in the country have the filled tables which the restaurants in the win- ter and the sunymer gardens in the T has been said that the au- | —— And Far From Being an Agency for Extravagance, It Makes for Economy .in Food, Clothes and Entertainment. summer used to have in the city before the day of the automobile. Even if an automobile party stops for a meal at a country inn it is not likely to linger, as restaurant and summer garden partics did in former years. The automobilist is out primarily to automobile and not to eat and drink. “Let us suppose, however, that automobile owners do eat ‘out’ more often than formerly. Do you remember the home entertain- ments of 20 years ago? What has become of the home dances, the home card parties, the home sur- prise and other parties with which the people formerly occupied many of their evenings. They have vir- tually ceased to exist because of the automobile. Were they not expensive? More so, I venture to say, than all the meals now eaten at country resorts, if to the ex- pense of the meals be added the cost of the gasoline which the au- tomobile burns. “I do not question that there is some foundation of truth for the indictment of the automobile cred- ited to Judge Taylor—only I think he talked ancient history. Certain of the things he says applied years ago, when the automobile was a good deal of a novelty. It did de- velop speed mania in the’ early “There are two reasons for this worthy of note. One is that the manufacturers long since quit ad- vertising the speed capabilities of their machines, and the other is that the novelty gof speeding has worn off. Nor Goes the automo- bile now dazzle. It is too common. days, but speed mania has become virtually a thing of the past. 24 | REMEMBER . when ‘there were any number of friends whom I could give no greater delight than to take them for an automobile ride. If I ask a friend today to go out in my car with me and he accepts it is either to enjoy my society or to favor me with his. The automobile ride is incidental. “In my estimation the automo- bile marks as great an advance in our civilization as did the build- ing of railroads over the time of the Lewis and Clarke exploration of the West. The mission of the automobile, as of so many other great inventions, is to save time. Like each of them in turn, it has put the world on a new basis, and if it were to be abolished tomor- row the world’s business could not be carried on. It not only has made itself essential to the busi- ness of the city, but it has revo- lutionized life outside the cities. One of the greatest institutions which has come to the people of the United States in Pecent years has been the parcel post. Do you think it could exist without the automobile, both to gather the parcel post mail in the city and to distribute it in the country? “Once people in the country throw stones at me and my auto- mobile. Today there are few farm homes without a garage im the rear. The automobile has improved the condition of the people in the country in evegy way and made them both more prosperous and more happy. The other day I saw a man coming into the city with a motor truck load of fresh, crisp rhubarb. I thought then that a few years ago this same man would have driven most of the night to get to town with a wilted cargo. x a and ice fund whose work is to save the lives of poor babies. Has it ever occurred to you how much less pure, fresh milk there would be for the poor babies and all other babies if the new milk were not whirled to trains tm motor cars and carried away from the trains in motor cars by the daily com- panies in the cities? “Speaking of saving human life reminds me that I once asked a doctor how the doctors managed to attend to their business before there were automobiles. “ ‘We dtdn't attend to it,’ he re- plied, ‘we only thought we did.’ Doctors’ automobiles and motor ambulances have saved millions of lives, and motor fire trucks have saved property of the value of hundreds of millions. ‘There is no need to multiply instances. Going back to the orig- inal question of the relation of the automobile to divorce, I will call attention to the fact that in the city of St. Louis there are about 27,000 ambulances. if these machines will carry an aver- age of four persons each, at least 100.000 persons in this city are riding in automobiles every day. It seems to me that if the auto- mobile were a potent cause of di- vorce there would be moré di- vorces chargeable to automobiles in St. Louis every year tHan the otal of all divorces here for all causes.” Hazy Genealogy. “T can trace my descent in a di- rect line from one of the early Kings of Engiand,” she said. : ‘Which one?” he asked. “T don’t recall them name.

Toby sat up, for he dearly loved a story. And pussy began: “Once upon a time in rainy weath- er a dog and a cat, a duck and rat all met in a barn together. The dog he barked, the duck she quacked, and Miss Puss she humped up her back. The rat he squeaked, and off he sneaked straight into a nice large crack. The little dog said, and he looked very wise: “I think, Mistress Puss, you make a great fuss with your back and your great green eyes. And you, Madame Duck, you waddle and quack till it gives one the fidgets @ hear you. You had better be off to the old pigs’ trough, where none but the pigs can hear you.” The duck was good-natured and she ran away, but Miss Pussy Cat, with her back up, said she ‘intended to stay. “She showed him her paws, with her great long claws, And the dog was afraid to come near; For Puss, if she pleases, when a little dog teases, Can give him a box on his ears.” Pussy showed her claws and was so close to Toby that he jumped and ran under the stove. “I was only telling Mother Goose stories,” he said. “I didn’t think you would get 80 angry.’”’ “Who is angry?” asked Pussy as she washed her face and looked very far from being angry. “I was just telling you a story, only I have nota doubt in the world that the story I told is.true. Of course, your stories are all just stories, Toby, and there is not a word of truth in one of them —is there?” Toby very weakly answered “No,” and Pussy went on with her toilet, but she was very certain that Toby would tell no more Mother G ee to her, anyway—and he n't.

ITH an air of great importance the small boy of a Sunday school in Belfast imparted this happy fact to his teacher: “The devil is dead,” he said, sol- emnly. “What makes you think that?’ asked the startled teacher. “Dad said so,” exclaimed the boy. “] was standing in the street with him yesterday when a funeral passed, and when dad saw it he said, ‘Poor tomers, an article of food may well be known by the types of life that it contains. And the potato has every reason to be proud of its consumers, for they stand high in the scale of ani- mal life; in fact, natural history would be a very dull subject without them. For instance, take man, one of the principal potato-eating animals. Man, it is true, has not been on the earth so long as some other forms of life, but he has, on the whole, made a re- markable record. A few years ago man was so highly thought of that he bore: the general group title of “the human race.” But now that more has been learned about the Huns, it is felt that perhaps this was a little too sweepingly complimentary. However, it is still a recom- mendation for a food to have man on its consumers’ list. Some foods have failed to win this dis- tinction. Even such a respectable and nutritive product as hay has never been able to ‘interest man's palate, except in the isolated and abnormal case of King Nebuch- adnezzar. Carrots and turnips have barely retained a precari- ous standing as foods for man, and large numbers of mankind still regard them as horse feed, and refuse to go any lower in the vegetable kingdom than par- snips. But the potato’s stand- ing, as a food for man, is secure. This is proven by the fact that the motto of the: present cam paign is not “Eat a Potato,” but “Bat Another Potato.” That is, it is assumed that man will eat one potato. Another consumer of which | the potato has reason to be proud is the cow. Even those a sense, the cow's life is one long disappointment. She devotes ~- most of her thought and energy | to the task of producing milk, ~ and then that milk is diverted . from its intended use and ap- - plied to objects in which the . cow is not directly interested, — such ilk baths for actresses and dividends for dairy compa- nies. Yet the cow is never heard to complain, and when she hag . been milked dry, she makes a 100 per cent return of her nat- . ural resources to the cannery, the tannery and the rendering . deep to find the tubers if he can get into a thrift garden. The hog has not so enviable a reputation as the cow, but he — has practical traits of value, and he hgs played no small part in the culture of Boston, where the favored brain food has been not beans merely, but pork and | beans. | Without going all the way . down the roll of the potato’s consumers, an -impressive list can be made up of the animals which do not eat potatoes. Beasts of prey and enemies of civilization, such as, the lion, tiger, leopard and bobcat, do not care for the potato. ptiles and insects pay very little atten- tion to the potato as an article of food. Slackers and lounge lizards will eat potatoes only when the supply of olives, aspar- — ehte SPuka se agus and cold tongue is exhaust- | ed, and then they usually de- mand a salad camouflage So help the potato family to — win a big service flag, with — ~~ 90,000,000 stars on it, this week. — = to Buy Fish | F you are paying for fresh fish, be sure that you get it. You may be reasonably sure that your fish is fresh if it has bright eyes, firm flesh and red gills. The supreme test is the flesh near the backbone. If this is in good condition, the fish is fresh. Fish should be placed on the ice as soon as it is delivered. But on ac- count of its strong odor it should not be placed in the refrigerator with other foods unless it is closely cov- ered. A glass or earthenware cas- serole will be found useful for this eats alee enables housewife to means, mackerel of good quality are around. It also enables her to pur- chase some varieties at a much lower figure than would otherwise be pos- sible. If cold-storage fish is pur- chased, it is best to buy it frozen hard and then allow it to thaw by placing it on the ice rather than in water. Here are some good fish reci- pes from Good Housekeeping; e Spanish Halibut. two tablespoonfuls of drippings or one-quarter of a cupful of suet, cut in small pieces. On this place a thick slice of halibut. Cover the fish with thinly sliced onion, using one good- sized onion, two tablespoonfuls of chopped, canned sweet peppers, 4 cupful of canned tomatoes, one-half teaspoonful of salt, an done-quarter teaspoon of salt, and one-quarter bake 30 minutes. Then uncover and purchase out-of-season fish. By this, placed on the market all the year). In the bottom of a casserole place brown. and Fish Chop Suey. Use one and one-half pounds of solid white-meated fish such as bass or halibut. Boil until done. Drain, and put into a frying pan with one tablespoonful of hardened vegetable fat and one and one-half cupfuls of grated pineapple. Heat all together thoroughly and thicken slightly with one-half tablespoonful of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water. Eggplant With Shrimp. Select a good-sized eggplant weighing about two pounds. Remove the stem and green end, rub the skin of the eggplant lightly with drip- pings, ‘and put into a hot oven to bake for half an hour.

Moran’s Men A re Far From Showing Tail- End Form This Year. _ aes AT MORAN’S Phillies are here today to begin the first intersectional series of the season with the Cardinals. The Phils are by no means the same club which copped the National League flag in 1915 and which have twice been runnersup, since then. Chief among the changes is that Alexander and Killefer, baseball’s best battery, is not on the roster. Another former Philly who ts notthe Cincinnati Reds pulled stakes and under Moran's wing this season is Bert Niehoff, now second sacking for “Mule” Watson, ex- Cardinal, who figured in the deal for Niehoff, is here with the club. A youngster, yclept McGaffigan, has supplanted Niehoff at second. Last season he was with the Vernon club in the Pacific Coast League. In the outfield, Jim Fitzgerald is in right, while Emil Muesel is playing center vice Dode Paskert, whom Mo- ran swapped to the Cubs for Cy Wil- liams, the later having failed to re- port. Cactus Cravath, who holds on despite his age, is in left. George Whitted, the regular left fielder was a ‘holdout during the spring and failed to take the training trip with the club.

If the St. Louis Tennis Association champions then wish to play the Municipal Association, the M, A, A. will consent.” This leaves with St. Louis District Interclub tournaments with only three or four entries of smaller clubs, such as the Shaw Place and the Larned Tennis Clubs. Chance for Beginners. At the next meeting of the Muni- cipal Athletic Association’s Executive Council, Tuesday, it will be suggested that former champions of the Muni- cipal Association be excluded from competing in this year’s tournament, so.as to give the new talent a chance /at ‘the titles. In order to insure adequate repre- sentation of first class players on the Municipal Intercity team, however, a post-season tournament in which the 1918 champions and former title-win- ners will meet to decide the local su- premacy. The survivors in this event are to represent the city in National or in important local or State contests. Ted Drewes and Fred Josties are the best players so far developed in the M. A. A. It is feared that their entry this year would decrease the entry list, the lesser lights feeling that they had no chance against these proven stars. ap 7 } Last Night’s Fights Dick Loadman Knocked out Johnny Ertle in’ the third round at Milwaukee.

Fielder is loath- to say much about the prowess or the reverse of the Barrow’s red hose. The St. Louis leader says that Carl Mays pitched a fine game yesterday, “was always over the plate and never in the hole,” and that when a team gets that sort of pitching it ought to win just as the Sox did win. “All we need now,” said Jones, “is to have our pitchers come around, get over their wildness, take advan- tage of fine weather we have had in the East and get back into the win- ning column. Our team is such that it can win, if it has the pitching. Let the pitchers hit the form they showed in the early spring, say against the Cardinals, and I will be satisfied that the rest of my club will take good care of itself, that we will win many games, get our confidence and romp through.” Hendryx May Play Outfield. If Leonard and not Bush pitches for the Sox, today, Jones will have ithe right handed batting Hendrix in righ field instead of the south swinging Ray Demmitt. Tomorrow is a sure day of rest for the Browns, not even an exhibi- tion being scheduled. Representatives of the Fore River shipyards at Quincy, one of the big- gest in the country, trailed some of ing in an-unsuccessful attempt to lure them from the Browns to the yards. The promise of big money could not swamp Fielder’s athletes. That is the “yard” where Al Mamaux “works” at present. BROWNS ABANDON HOPE OF GETTING CULLOP TO SIGN A 1918 CONTRACT Nick Cullop, the southpaw who fig- ured in the big deal between the Yankees and the Browns during the winter, but who has not reported to the Sportsman's Park aggregation, is counted as good as lost by business manager Bob Quinn. Quinn stated this morning that Cullop’s silence was not worrying him in the least “The Browns have tried to play fair with Cullop. There really is no trouble between us, just a difference of opinion as to a reasonable salary. We have exchanged several letters Do you mean to say that even the | lawyers didnj get a smell” s + > Opinion seems to be divided as to whether Jack Dempsey licked Billy Miske or wice wersa. Why not match their respective man- agers in a 10,000 word battle to settle the matter? — 7 © The Cards are due for a shaking up, we hear. Looks like somebody will get lost in the shuffle.

The games will be played in the Manufacturers, Com- mercial, Wagner and Sunday School Leagues. The latter circuit alone will play eight battles on the dia- monds in Forest Park. Twilight ‘Baseball Planned. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 11.—Base- ball games during the twilight hours are being considered by managers of the Western League, it was said here today by E. W. Dickerson, league president whose headquarters are in Kansas City. He said it probably would be tried in some cities in the circuit and that if it were successful others would adopt it. The plan, he said, would be to start the game at five o'clock so that many business men and others who cannot go to the games earlier could attend. Des Moimes to Keep Franchise. DES MOINES, Ia., May 11:—With the assurance that the local Chamber of Commerce would assist in increas- ing attendance at games, Mayor Fairweather, owner of the Des Moines Western League baseball club, an- nounced yesterday that the team would remain here, abandoning the perpen to transf®r it to Peoria, —— wearsecomestiiartetenstitin til as a | | however, When he was notified that he had and all of them have been couched in the most friendly terms. “I have heard nothing from him, since early in the spring. been traded to us, I received a letter from him stating that he would ex- pect the same salary this season as he drew last.” Quinn also uncovered pleasing news to Brownie followers yesterday when he stated that the report that Hank Severead was in Class 1 of the draft was erroneous.

ROBABLY no pugilistic surprise of the many that have baseball world in the last five years caused such an uplifting @ brows as the knocking out of Johnny Ertle by Dick Loadman, a 5: kee, last night, in the third round of their contest. Loadman has thus far proven by no means a loadstar. He has been a fair little fighter, with no champion- ship symptoms that have reached the provinces.—(N. B., concession to New York view of Chicago, St. Louis, et al.) : Ertle, on the other hand, was gen- erally granted the position of “‘logi- cal contender” for the title now held by Pete Herman. Many held the opinion that he would wrest the crown from the champion, if ged met in a long contest. Ertle, a few months ago, gave former champion Kid Williams a fine beating. Mr. Gutenko’s (Danish code for ‘“Williams”’) home-town referee at Baltimore refused to give Johnny anything better than a draw. * + 6 Once Called Champion. RTLE, too, had previously been conceded some sort of claim to the title. That was three years ago at the Twin Cities, when he gave Williams, then title holder, about six pounds and such a stout fight that the Kid ended the contest by foul- ing. In the encounter last night Load- man was credited with having the better of the battling from the first round, when he sunk his right into Ertle’s pantry clear up to glove lacings. It hurt the near-champion and possibly weakened him for the final knockout. Ertle is now sidetracked in the race for the bantam title. Roy Moore, now managed by Mike McNulty, who formerly handled Ertle, becomes the leading candidate for the 116-pound crown. However, there is scant like- linogod he will ever win it, since Her- man is in the army and Roy longer in the spring chicken : More Great Ones Pass.
