SIMONDS, Author of “The Great War’’ and “They Shall Not Pass.”’ Tethe moment when a new and critical A phase of the campaign of 1918 is about to open it may seem out of place to open the discussion of a campaign of 1919. Yet the progress of the present campaign has already pretty clearly forecast the certainty of another. In a word, it begins to be reasonably patent that neither the Germans nor our allies can hope for a decisive victory this year. And it is worth : _ moting that the German press, which ‘“goose- steps’ at imperial command, is already warning the German public that a fifth winter of war is inevitable. There must be a campaign of 1919 because there is not the smallest evidence that either side can this year accomplish results which will make a _ peace inevitable, a peace by the sword. Water- loo, Sedan, Jena, these triumphs from which im- mediately flowed a national defeat, are reck- oned outside the calculations of war in its present form, when nations, not small professional armies, fight. and restricted fronts manned by huge forces make the old-fashioned style of battle out of the question. Peace this year can only be had under one of three COnditions: First, that the allies are beaten ~~? tet ee ee ee | ee campaign and as a result of the German offensive. completely and beyond rallying in the present | | Oy ty, -._*. — Ly S\N Second, that the allies are able, having parried the } German attack, to take the offensive themselves / and do what the French an@ British were unable ‘ to do at the Marne; namely, transform a battle- field success, won in a counter offensive, into a decisive victory.

Those who fear loss of American lib- erties at the present time may note that in a Government by the people executive power in time of war does not tend to perpetuate itself on the return of peace, for none of the direful prophe- cies as to the permanent results of Lincoln’s acts upon the framework of our liberties were ever re- alized. Four statutes gave rise to special condemnation in the Thirty-seventh Congress: 1. The railroad and telegraph act of Jan. 31, 1862, c. 15 (12 Statutes at Large, 334), by which the President was authorized to take possession \}of any or all the telegraph lines and railroads, and to place under military control all their of- ficers, agents and employes, and under which pér- ‘of the present state of things is the illimited pow- ) sons attempting to interfere with their use or to ‘in that respect, the equal, if not the superior, of The difference consists only in ! ‘the unanimous consent of the people of the loyal | states, the Emperor his on the army.” (Rhodes’ History of the United States, 111, p. 442.) | Louis Napoleon. os in. er exercised by the Government.

Af- — rests of this nature were deemed necessary by the — President at the outset of the war, and were com- tinued until by executive order of Feb. 14, 1863, issued in the name of the Secretary of War, ‘all political or state prisoners then held in militdrfy custody were ordered to be released on subscrib- : ing to a parole to render no aid or comfort to the” enemy, and it was provided that “extraordinary arrests will hereafter be made under the direction — of the military authorities alone.” On Sept. 24, 1862 (two days after his emancipation proclama-— tion) President Lincoln, without any congressiofi- — al authorization, issued a proclamation suspend-— ing the writ of habeas corpus in respect to all per- — sons arrested by any military authority, and providing for trial by courtmartial of all persons | “discouraging volunteer enlistments, resisting | militia drafts or guilty of any disloyal practice, — affording aid and comfort to rebels against the — authority of the United States.’’ = : PO Pg B ¥ OTP RED ES ENE LES Limbering Up the Guns.

The substance of the report of the Inland We- terways Committee to Director-General McAdoo, which was published in Friday's report, is strong- ly favorable to the use of the Mississippi for the purpose of handling valley products and relieving railroad congestion. | The committee includes two Government en-| gineers, familiar with the river, and two men who | linson is an operator of waterways traffic and has been put in charge of the New York State Barge Canal by Mr. McAdoo. Mr. Dickey is at the head of the Missouri River barge line of Kansas City. The report recommends the building of seven steel towboats and 50 barges for Mississippi River traffic. The total cost of all equipment is estimated at $7,350,000, a bagatelle of expenditure for war purposes in comparison with the freight- carrying capacity of the line. It is estimated that this fleet would make 90 round trips a year between St. Louis and New Orleans, carrying 1,080,000 deadweight tons. Grain and merchandise or war products could be carried to the gulf and food products and lumber upstream. The total revenue is estimated at $3,537,000 and the net revenue above all expenses at $1,526,000, which is 18 per cent on the investment. The return is important as showing the profit in river traffic, with adequate modern equip- ment and good management, but it is of little importance in view of the transportation neces- sities of the country for maintaining maximum production for the winning of the war. To obtain a true view of the value of the rec- ommended use of the waterways we must consider the question of coal supply and the relief of rail- road congestion, both of which are acute.

The regretted sinking of the transport Moldavia takes a further toll of Americans who made their sacrifice without the opportunity to strike a blow for the cause to which they had devoted their lives. The fact that the ship was successfully attacked in the English Channel, where it was supposed that immunity from U-boats had been obtained, is startling, but if, as is reported, she was engaged in taking to France American soldiers who had previously been transported to England, it shows the exceptional nature of the tragedy and the comparative safety of the long sea lane from Ameri¢an to European waters. The sending 200,000 troops to Europe this month and. 250,000 next month means that the number | of transports engaged in the service has been tre- mendously increased. Even if the former negligi- ble percentage of successful U-boat attacks was maintained or was substantially reduced, the vast addition to the number of transports exposed to the peril might be expected to bring some ad- ditions to the actual number of successful at- tacks. In the sinking of the three American troop ships which the U-boats have destroyed to date, 224 men have been lost. They died bravely and the manner of their death will not be forgotten. But several weeks ago we had 500,000 men in France and the number must now be nearly 700,000—perhaps more. When out of that great number but 22¢ have fallen victims to Germany's chief reliance in winning the war, the chance that any individual soldier starting from an Atlantic port will fail to reach France is so small as to supply coal from the mines to valley industries. Every ton of freight carried by the fleet would release railroad cars and railroad motive power for other work. The use of the river—this fleet would be a mere beginning—would help to solve the vital transportation problem, the coal problem and contribute to the maximum industrial production which is an imperative standard for the winning of the war. The task of the waterways delegation when it reaches Washington is to get the facts concern- ing the value of the use of the Mississippi Valley waterways to Mr. McAdoo. The delegates must be figured only by the curious. = = * — a The difference between a Kaiser and a Presi- dent is that a President leads and a Kaiser drives. = = -— rw A MEMORABLE TAG DAY.

The chief points included in the pro- posed legislation are these: That the maximum wage of election work- ers at the polls be prescribed by law , That the payment to any person of an amount in excess of a fair and reasonable value of his services be made prima facie evidence of corrupt intent. That newspapers be restricted to their general advertising rates for political adver- tising. That the purchase of the influence of any newspaper be made impossible by law, and that “it should not be permitted that news iteris and editorials should be paid for, directly or indirectly.” That individuals contributing $1000 or more to any campaign be compelled to file a written notice of such contribution with the Board of Elections. To convert the minimum wage idea of the in- dustries into the idea of a maximum wage and apply it to political workers is indeed a novelty. Of the five proposals quoted one relates to the collection of funds and four to the expenditure of funds. While the latter undoubtedly have practical value, more drastic restrictions might be enacted governing the collection of funds. When huge sums of money are placed at the dis- posal of campaign managers inflamed with par- tisan zeal they are sure to expend it in reckless and criminal ways. The fund for Mitchel, who made his run on “decency” in city administration, has been placed at various figures in the past, but is stated authoritatively by the grand jury to have “reached the astounding total of $1,610,- 862.58."" A scandal was inevitable. * The jury inquiry had continued since March 18. Judge Goff said of its report that “no more important presentment has ever been handed up to this Court.”” A copy of it will be sent to Al- bany for consideration at the next session of the Legislature. = = * _ i ae WAR BEFORE POLITICS. The war has upset many percedents, but none more striking than that of the Kansas cam- paign. This year there has been no mention of prohibition in any of the advanced platforms nor any of the keynote speeches. This is the first campaign in that State in 40 years in which John Barleycorn has not been a candidate. After the State went dry, the degree of dryness became an issue. After it became dryer, the return to sa- loons was an issue. But just prior to the war, the laws became bone dry and then came the great struggle for civilization and John lost his seat in the campaign wagon. no time for peripatetic business conversations. There were so many interruptions—and distrac- tions. Every hundred feet or so was at least one white-garbed, smiling woman, with a cash box in her hands and appeal in her eyes. And how amazingly charming they were in their smart frocks! Charming, regardless of whether the frock set off a handsome figure or a pretty face. The best of it was that each of them had done some actual work to entitle her to the unt- form. Small wonder that the rest of us sighed, when we had parted with all our change, because we hadn't more to give. But the women’s invasion was something more than a pleasing spectacle. Near each group was a very business-like looking young man in busi- of unreconstructed Germans who lived alone, had of petty criticism and slander. The Kansas Senate is ail holdover this year | and the vote on the national amendment is fore- | cast to be all but one for the amendment, there | they can turn the entire matter over to the local authorities who prosecute the cases in the local being one member who alwnys votes against any-| thing prohibition. Half of the members of the House will be elected this fall, but none has so far included his stand on the national amend- ment in his platform. One reason for that may be that the candi. | | dates for United States Senator, Governor and | members of House of Representatives have dis- covered that Kansas is in no mood for politics this year. Only those candidates who discuss war or war measures get a hearing. Gov. Capper ness-like khaki, with a business-like rifle in his hands. Whoever thought out the plan has a fine dramatic instinct. The contrasts brought to one a stern reminder of the grim duty behind it all, the duty of service and sacrifice which belonged as much to those who were asked to give as to the women in white and the men in olive drab. == i i When the airplane mail service is installed avi- ators will drop letters. Nothing new. Printers have been doing it a long time. = = ii ii A A GARDEN LAY. It is indeed a glorious thing to have a garden plot, a very backyard paradise in which, as like as not, the sass that springs from humble soil will help us win the war, for, as we know full well by now, that’s what a garden's for. The modest rad- ish and the squash have patriotic use, the same as ammunition has, to give the Huns the deuce. Each mess of pottage that we raise, each pot of greens and things, will help in cutting short the days of autocratic Kings, and be a very birthright clear for Freedom in the world, which Uncle Sam has vowed will come before his flag is furled, and every little beet and bean that goes into the soup will send the Kaiser in the air and make him loop the loop. A field of victory you'll find between your house and shed, if you will toil with rake and hoe to make a garden bed, and shoo the scratching hens away and put the weeds to rout, a labor that will seem but play when truck begins to sprout. In fact, you'll find a gardener’s task is much akin to fun, and when your crop is gathered in the war's as good as won. = = —-~ SS EFFICIENT WAR MEASURES. So many shortcomings have been charged to war measures and war efforts, that it is refresh- ing to find some such efforts that are better than was planned. Two measures that have gone be- yond the first enemy trench are the disloyalty acts adopted by the war sessions of the Nebraska and Texas Assemblies. Each State has colonies their own churches and schools, and who ad- vanced just as far in citizenship as was neces- sary to obtain a vote to protect their selfish in- terests. Both Legislatures sought to reach these | colonists, whose offenses were chiefly statements It develops now that the Texas law fits exactly into the Federal law and enables the Federal of- ficials to make much greater haste in handling their cases, because, when they obtain evidence, courts and avoid clogging the Federal courts. It is a notable feature of this law that the Legis- | | lature suspended the right of Judges to suspend | sentence imposed for disloyalty offenses. | The Nebraska law serves in much the same way.

ANTWINE ON FOOD. rq OMEBODY has said that the pig-pen is S mightier than the sword, and that comforms to the theory that food will win the war,’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘It is a mighty difficult thing to make a big coun- try like this, as far away from the actual needs of food as it is, realize the importance of food. It seems that everything that could be done to make us realize it has been done. ‘‘l was thinking about it last night, and won- dered if I could contribute a new thought to the sub- ject. It struck me that it might be a good idea for us to realize that before long the shipbuilding program Will place at the disposal of our allies and ourselves thousands of new ships. ‘‘Are we going to have anything to send over in those ships? While other men are building them and getting them built with all their might, are the rest of us thinking of what our responsibility actually is? ‘‘] wondered. Our responsibility, clearly, is to pro- vide food with which to load those ships? Suppose we think of it in those terms and consider how we would feel if the people who built them turned to us and said, ‘Here are your ships. What have you got to put in them?’ ‘‘That will be a fair question. We can’t build ships out in these great agricultural States, but we can raise something to put in them. Nobody else eigher will or can do that. We must do it. ‘‘Ts that a new thought? I fancied it might be. We have been pretty critical of the people whose re- sponsibility it has been to build the ships. Are they going to be any less critical of us, whose responsibility it is to fill them?’’ Ba Fx a] The Washington Post speaks of the Secretary of Agriculture as ‘‘Dave Houston,’’ the longest advance anyone in Washington has made yet toward that dis- tant figure. 2. | ra ma Germany has limited the Belgians to two shirts each.

I see thee circled by the flowers P Half-hidden there ’mid grass grown wild and long; A-near in sullen anger Vesuvius towers While mouldering griefs arise in speechless Shrong. Thine was the fatal gift of beauty rare, That softly soared down from the southern sky Through colonnaded streets and vistas fair, Unconscious and unheeding Virtue’s cry. Carelessly thou _ stood’st before fre idols’ throne, As palm-embroidered charioteers displayed The mocking power of Imperial Rome; Each roof—each temple a monstrous orgy staged, The silent moon at night rose clear and free, And twined a warning ringlet 'round thy maze; A gentle breeze from off the distant sea A-wafted a breath of heeding through thy blaze. Up to the zenith climbed the pagan stair, Each rung upbearing the folly of mankind; Then rose from out the crypt of Vesuvius there The emblem that the wrath of God now shined. Ye suchling clegance and potentates, Ye nymphs of Venus and ye hypocrites, Ye charioteers and goggling crowds on stilts, Ye divorcees in flaunting gossamer ailics, Ye concubines in serpent whirlwinds dance— All these were thine, O Pompeii! thou city en- tranced With wine so spilled in cups to gods of stone O'er passions and deceptions vast and drone. Where now thy songs, where now thy glowing eyes ’Neath lava’s flow and angered blazing skies Thy ribald revelry and wild clamour Unrestrained, enthralling; Thy baleful beauty and its sweet allure? All lost beyond recalling ; Obliterated memories steeped in rust While weeds and flowers feed upon thy dust. CHARLES V. H. ROBERTS. May 14, 1918. Py Fa Lr) The Australians have an expression ‘‘fair dinkum,’’ meaning all right or okey. John Mase- field says that during the fighting at Gallipoli Ger- man spies were a great plague to the Australians. One day a man posing as a Major was giving direc- tions not to fire in a certain direction when an Ans- tralian officer said to him, ‘‘I say, old chap, are you fair dinkum?’’ ‘‘Yes, I am Maj. Fair Dinkum,’’ an- swered the spy, who straightway perished, as the inquest had it, with lead in the head. ra Ralf Eating the eggs and letting the hens have the shells back comes about as near doing what one can to win the war as anything of which we can think for a non-combatant. ry Laz Laas) The people who have never said when they are going to eat dinner in Berlin are the only ones, like as not, who haven’t thrown their meal tickets away. a Raa Ma The potato was first introduced into Burope by Hieronymus Carda, which deepens the ‘Mystery over calling it after the Irish.

Ls Laas) Ry We have the U-boat to deal with, but ae in turn has the U-kraine. revolution of 1905. Still another route from Berlin to India and China and Japan exists. The route by way of Warsaw, Mos- cow, Samara, Orenburg and Tashkend crosses at its eastern extremity the rail- and-water route which the Russian forces have just cut. But to use the northern route the German armies would have to hold in military occupation all Russia with its hostile millions. So long as the allies hold out on the Western front, that would be a task too audacious, too monstrous, for even the Kaiser’s headstrong Generals to attempt, r.uch less accomplish. The south- ern route through the Balkans and over the Black and Caspian Seas, once the neck of the Caucasus is conquered, would be gained without coming to grips with the entire Russian nation. The dream of the imperial aggrandizement of Germany in the rich Orient, the potentiality of Japan’s being “induced to seek an ally in Ger- many” in the exigencies of international relationships after the war and the poss!i- bility of the world being conquered for autocracy instead of being made safe for democracy center largely in Russia's ef- fective guardianship and retention of & slender rail route. The recapture of Baku, even if it be Mot held: very long, shows Russia’s purpose. She will, she must, continue her war against the imperialists. EXPLAINING THE SALUTE. : WILLIAM H. TAFT in the National Geographic Magazine. HE progress in military scfence has been in the development of the ma- chine-like operation of the different parts of anarmy. The prfvate soldiers are cogs working into other parts of the machine and moving under control of their ftmme- diate and higher commanders, as cogs act with the wheels and other mechanism with which they co-dérdinate. The salute is only the recognition of this relation of associa- tion. It was interesting to watch how the © new men disregarded it and how the men with more training gave great attention to giving it properly. - a I sought to win the sympathy and confi- 2 dence of the boys by reference to the fact a that my own son is an enlisted man in the field artflery. I think it enforced my ar- zument in favor of the necessity of the sa- oe lute by pointing out that I would not be oe 4 likely to approve of it if it was any evi- dence of his inferiority or servility. The freedom and independence that an American ‘youth enjoys make it necessary to have the reason for such a ceremony ¢x- plained to him. His self-confidence and his self-conceit make it trksome to him, at first, thus to register his subordinate posi- tion or obey implicitly, as he must, if he would be a good soldier. His love of Mm- itiative and his intuitive lack of discipline make it hard for him to conform to the rigid requirements of military life, but after he has acquired the habit. then his initiative, his willingness to assume respon- | sibility, hfs intelligence and his independ- ence add greatly to his effectiveness as @ | Soldier. oh hel inane 7 Oe ' i TODAY’S BEST CARTOON.

On account of the latter’s illness, the plans were all very simple and only the immediate family witnessed the ceremony, which was performed at 8 o'clock by the Rev. Donald C. McLeod. It was originally planned to have the wedding in June but on account of the bride’s two bro- thers, Thomas Dudley Petrie and Herbert Isom Petrie. being here from the ‘South, it was decided to have the marriage during their presence. Mrs. Mitchell ‘is the daughter of the late Charles W. Petrie and Mrs. Petrie and moved here with her family some years ago from Missis- -sippi. Her two other brothers, Charles Gale Petrie and Lemuel Pe- trie, are in France, the former con- nected with Red Cross work and the latter a member of the 138th Infantry. Mr. Mitchell is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Z. J. Mitchell of Kirkwood and is Untted States Commissioner and also chief deputy clerk of the United States District Court.

Senator Wade also spoke of the “slavish doctrine, which is unworthy the American Senate—that the Presi- dent of the United States, the mo- ment we are involved in a war, is a despotic magistrate and is subject to no control from any quarter. * * * This attempt to magnify the Presi- dent into an irresponsible despot with power to prescribe rules and regula- tions by which the estates, real or personal, of men can be forfeited.”’ Senator Trumbull denounced the “assumption of unlimited power by the President” in appointing military governors. : At the same session Senator Powell of Kentucky introduced a resolution, April 24, 1862, asking for informia- Surprising Results Here in St. Louis St. Louis people are astonished at the great amount of foul, poisonous matter simple buckthorn bark, glycer- ine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka, draws from the alimentary canal.

These Dills gave rise to heated and sometimes savage debate. At the outset of the session Sena- tor Saulsbury of Delaware intro- duced a resolution calling on the Secretary of War for information as to the arrest of certain Delaware Senator Bayard said in debate: “We are living under just as despotic a government as existed in France in the time of Louis XIV,” and he charged the Presi- dent with “gross oppression.” The President’s order to the Secretary of War, he said, was ‘nothing more than the establishment of a dicta- torship in this country.” Senator Trumbull spoke of the “exercise of an arbitrary and un- necessary power.” r “Cabinet of a Tyrant.” Senator Powell said that “secrecy might well become the Cabinet of a tyrant, but it ill becomes the Cab- inet of a free, constitutional govern- ment.’ And he continued: The Senator from Maine says all this is done under the war power. * * * He resorts again to that old plea of tyrants, neces- sity. * * * (The President) has exercised usurped power, and vio- lated the Constitution of the country which he has sworn to support. Senator Saulsbury in an elaborate speech on habeas corpus on Jan. 8, 1863, said: Even the great wisdom of the framers of the Constitution could not foresee that it was possible that a man might be placed in the presidential chair in less than 8J vears from the adoption of the Constitution who should so play the tyrant as to arrest peaceable citizens in states not refusing submission to the general Gov- ernment and bastile them ‘during his pleasure “in the remotest part of the Union.” Sir, had our fa- thers known that sueh acts of intolerable oppressron courd be practiced in the name of liberty, and would be submitted to by the people. J verily believe thev never woula have fwrmed the Federal Union. The patient and long-suffering people of this country have tame- ly submitted to this exercise of despotic power. Later, he said, Jan. 27, 1863: Thus, has it been with Mr. Lin- coln—a weak and imbecile man; the weakest man that I ever saw in a high place; for I have seen him and conversed with him, and I say here, in my place in the Senate of the United States, that I never did see or converse with SO weak and imbecile a man as Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. * * * (This bill) proposes to legalize the most despotic exercise of power that was ever practiced in any Government since the insti- tution of human society. Talk not to me about lettres de cachet; talk not to me about the espion- age of Napoleon; talk not to me about any of the arbitrary ex- ercises of despotic power in this country * * * they are all buried beneath the wave of oblivion in comparison to what this man of yesterday, this Abraham Lincoln, that neither you nor I ever heard of four years ago, has chosen to exercise, * * * If I wanted to paint a despot, a man perfectly regard- less of every Constitutional right of the people, whose sworn serv- ant, not ruler. he is, I would paint the hideous form of Abraham Lin- coln. If that be treason— Lincoln as Conjurer. Senator Davis said that the Presi- |dent was— trying to conjure up out of a thing so insignificant and evan- escent as military necessity, of which I have not been able to find a single word in an~ book, a power as gigantic and quite as atrocious as the rebellion itself * * * myrmidons of the palace and war offices * * * expenses of all their nefarious service. Under the orders of Mr. Lincoln and his Secretary of War this lawless or- ganization has boldly and con- temptuously trampled under foot the writ of habeas corpus and the laws and the Constitution both of states and of the United States. Senator Bayard said that the ha- beas corpus bill (which became the act of March 3, 1863, C. 81, 12 Stat. Ouch: Sore, Touchy Corns! Lift Corns Out! Doesn’t Hurt! —_ Don’t let corns ache twice! Lift any corn or callus off with fingers— Here’s magic! No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without pain. This ether drug is called freezone and was discovered by a Cincinnati chemist. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one’s feet of every corn or callus. It is the most marvelous drug known. % Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the sore- ness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and lift off with the fingers. Freezone doesn’t eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them without any irritation. Women! Keep freezone on your dresser and apply a few dreps whenever a corn begins aching. Pain stops, corn goes! 4 ee _—- ‘sg 7 New York PE 14 Beautiful Colors: Pa*5's* On Sale Everywhere—10c ALADDIN PRODUCTS CO.

PARADE DOWNTOWN AT 4:30 IN AFTERNOON in West End Places of In- terest—Will Speak at Pic- ture Theaters at Night. One hundred and five of the fa- mous “Blue Devils’ of France, who gained their nicknames from the en- emy, will be in St. Louis all day to- morrow. They are touring’ the country in the interest of the Red Cross campaign, and will arrive from Memphis, Tenn., at 7:40 a. m., and will depart for Chicago on a midnight train. An elaborate program has been arranged for the reception of the distinguished fighters, whom the Germans regard as their bitterest opponents, due emphasis having’ been placed on the request from Washington that the Frenchmen be given an opportunity “to mingle with the mass of the people” in each city as far as it is practicable. The party is under the direction of a member of Gen. Pershing’s staff in France, who accompanied the ‘“‘Blue Devils’’ to the United States. Their visit to St. Louis is under the aus- pices of the Four-Minute Men. All Have Been Wounded. All the members of the party have been wounded one or more times, some bearing as many as &ix wounds, and nearly all have been decorated by the French Covern- ment for bravery in battle. The five | officers with the party wear the Medal of the Legion of Honor. Some are veterans of Verdun and other famous battles; others fought in Egypt and Algeria. They are the soldiers of the Pyrennes and the Alpine Mountains, and correspon-i to the Bersaglieri of the Italian army in the matter of organization and de- tail of their work. Their own coun- trymen call them the “elite” of the French army. The “Blue Devils” will be met at Union Station by a committee of St. Louis women, who have been active in war work, headed by Mrs. N. A. McMillan. A men’s reception com- mittee, of which William H. Lee is chairman, comprising many of the) representative professional and | business men of the city, also will | receive the party. They will be | escorted from the Frisco train to/| the Twentieth street entrance, where | more than 50 automobiles will con- vey the party to Hotel Jefferson for breakfast. Provision will be made for serving more than 300 persons in the main dining room. Chairman Lee of the Reception Committee will preside, and informal speeches of welcome will be made. Only four or five members of the “Blue Devils” can speak English, one of whom is Com- mandant-Lieutenant Lemoel, rank- ing officer of the party. He will speak at the breakfast. Breakfast for Soldiers. A group of French-speaking peo- ple, residents of the city and mem- bers of the French Society, will at- tend the breakfast. An interesting incident at the breakfast will be the a small souvenir badge, bearing the! tri-colors of France, a gift of the French Society, whose president, G. Vv. R. Mechin, will make the pres- entation. The morning program has been given over to the women of St. Louis, and Mrs. McMillan is the chairman. At 10 a. m. the “Blue Devils” will leave Hotel Jefferson for an automo- bile ride through the principal parks and residential sections of the city. It is planned to have one woman in each car who can speak French. Citi- zens are requested to display the French flag, and Mayor Kiel, in a written statement, has requested ev- eryone who can do so to greet the “Blue Devils” at some point during the day. The “Blue Devils” will stop at St. Louis University on their tour of the city, and in the presence of the stu- dent body will salute the university. They will then proceed west on Lin- dell boulevard and through Forest Park to Washington University, where at 11 a. m. a reception for the French-speaking people of the city will be held on the east campus. The Government especially requested this feature of the program so that the Frenchmen might converse with those who speak their own tongue. Reception for Public. At 11:30 a. m. a general reception for the public will be held in the university quadrangle, with the mothers of sons in service participat- ing. Interpreters will be available so that a mother may inquire about the country where her boy will do his bit for democracy. The party will be driven back to the Jefferson Hotel about 12:30 p. m. for a private luncheon. On the return trip. the “Blue Devils” will pass Clark School and Soldan High School on Union boulevard, will ride through West- moreland and Portland places and }ast Barnes Hospital, where a salute will be given in honor of St. Louis France, and then through Tower Grove Park. Many of the soldiers in the group, have not entirely recovered from the wounds received, and the Gov- ernment cautioned the Enter- tainment Committee that the “Blue Devils” must have periods of rest during the day. After the luncheon the soldiers will rest until 3 o'clock, when they will go to the Soldiers and Sailors’ Club, in the Post-Dispatch Building, to be guests at a reception.

The great reduction, almost half, in sunken mercantile tonnage since the adoption of the system also far more than makes up fcr de- lays and lost speed. The limitations and advantages of convoys be- ing thus understood, let us consider for 2 moment those ef the U-boats. Instead of being as free as the fish, they are compelled to operate within quite narrow lines, while exposed to many risks that do not menace surface craft. Think of the uncharted rocks, tips of undersea mountains, that must project up into the deep lanes along with the U-boat blunders like a blind fish; the mine fields, both British and German, it must avoid; floating mines that have broken from their moor- ings; the treacherous tides, traps, decoys, nets, hazard. To these special risks have to be added the unusual sea dangers, storms, fogs, contrary winds and tides. I have heard of one U-boat that strayed into the famous maelstrom, the giant whirlpool, which was selected by Jules Verne to kill off Captain Nemo and his Nautilus, the terror of the seas, 40 years ago. Then think of the war risks—the “blimps,” hydroplanes dropping their bombs from the sky; the little patrol boats, al- ways ready to,engage in one of those desperate sea duels where no quarter is asked or given; and. finally, the destroyer, which, because of its swiftness and agility, remains the U-boat’s chief ‘foe. So deadly a foe is the latter, indeed, that the Germans have talked both loudly and long of undersea cruisers to chase it off the seas. ia What Enlarging U-Boats Mean. By certain alarmists among us this boasting was given credence—just as the German intended. Most of it was manufactured, as a matter of fact, for foreign consumption. The Hun naval au- thorities are quite aware of certain limitations that make against such a boat. Add armor plate to a vessel, and her size must be increased to provide more buoyancy. Increased bulk calls for heavier internal structure, heavier engines, heav- ier gun platforms for larger guns; larger quar- ters for a larger crew; larger fuel and water ballast tanks; all of which calls for more buoy- ancy—that is, increased size, which once more demands more armor—and so on. Such a vessel, if produced, would present a deeper target for a torpedo than any destroyer, and only one would be required to send her to the bottom. SHe would stand a poor chance in a stand-up battle with the group of destroyers that are always to be found with aconvoy. She would also require a full 100 feet of water for safe ma- neuvering, and would so find it quite difficult to operate among the shoals and shallows of British home waters where her prey would be principally | found. Lastly, she could only give chase to one | vessel at a time; so, on the whole, would’be less | 2 effective than the present type of U-boats. As | two years have passed since the Germans frst | ‘that after balancing the increased cost in time, | labor, money and materials against possible ad-| vantages, the German naval constructors have | pronounced against them, There is no good rea- | son for us to make a nightmare out of this par- | ticular German dream. -™ Pe As to Diving and Emerging.

Years ago he wrote in his little sister’s book; ‘‘The man [ most admire in history is Louis XI.’’ When Bennett died, 10 days ago, be was the lessee from the French Government of the hunting lodge at Ver- sailles built by his historic hero. say after him and without question ‘*The New York Herald. And he had lived to see the whole world It is Bennett.’? To the last Mr. Bennett measured } the editorial without delay and with- policies and improvements by what | out question. Then he went to sleep. The next day he remembered it his father had done or would have done; and it was a coincidence that he and the father he adored should have died at the same age, 77 years. Bennett fre. quently quoted his father’s ax- iom, “Make the people talk about The Herald and they'll have to buy it.” Bennett made them talk and he was proud of it, but what he was most proud of was that he was the only pro- prietor who edit- ed his newspaper at long range. For years The Herald enjoyed distinction for its cable news. Yet no one in the New York office was permitted in any circumstances to send an inquiry to Paris, much less an order for news, without di- rect instructions from Bennett. He so jealously guarded the cable that all assign- ments to such duty were made by him personal- ly. W. ‘R.

Then Hearst printed his picture, the artist adding the stripes of a convict | and placing him behind bars. Ben- nett, furious, barred Hearst's name from The Herald forever, even omit- ting a real estate transfer record be- cause Hearst’s name was in it. A Secretary Prevents Blunder. From time to time Bennett or- dered names kept out, and as he leaving her a. beiplens, | never ordered them in again, the list | grew long. But about two years ago he expressed great surprise to learn that there was such a list and was positive he had never ordered any names out. When Bennett was a central figure in the gay life of Paris he, upon cer- tain occasions, developed a violent . submerge, and if she be seen by a destroyer her | | antipathy to all things connected any comment by adding: this way.” The editor replied. gravely: Bennett, if you want it we will set the Herald upside down.” Bennett replied with equal gravity —and meant it—‘That is the ra Herald Spirit.” During the period of The Herald's greatest prosperity it was Bennett's custom to send for men, apparently without reason and frequently with- out really wanting to see them. In one instance Bennett ordered a man to wait for him at Niece, and kept him there nearly three months be- dimly and the secretary con- Srted his worst spicions. “My God,” he is re- ported to have said, “They are tearing the Iler- ald building apart stone by stone by now. I wouldn't have had that go over for a mil- lion dollars. “I thought you - wouldn't,” said the secretary, “so. I didn’t send it.” In his relief Bennett shook hands cordially with his savior. Then nature as- serted itself, “Read me that first page again,” he ordered, “that part where I told them to print it verbatim.” The secretary did so and Ben- nett got him a Position else- where. In all of Ben- nett’s relations with his em- ployes he kept the fact clearly before them that his wish was their only law. On one occasion he ordered a change in makeup which violated a long- established rule and headed off “I want it “Mr fore communicating with him. Final- remarkable because Bennett, follow- ing in the faith of both his father ‘and mother, kept a pew in the Ma- deline in Paris, and only the Protestant Episcopal faith just before his marriage in 1914. But on this occasion Bennett's dis- like of the Vatican took active form. He sent for his secretary and dictat- ed an editorial in which all his views were expressed with great vigor.

And so, after he has eaten his fill, he lights his pipe again, and sits about. And maybe, as it grows dark, he takes a bit walk into town. He walks slowly, as if he is glad that fof once he need not be in a hurry, ang he stops to look into shop win- do®s as if he had never seen their stocks before, though you may be sure that, in a Scottish village, he has seen everything they have to of- fer hundreds of times.

But if Jock had lost both legs, or an arm, or if he had been blinded, that would still be his answer. Those words have become a sort of slogan for the British army, that typify its spirit. Jock’s walk is soon over, and he goes home, by an old path that is known to him, every foot of it, and goes to bed in his.own old bed.

He gets up @s early as he ever did, and he is likely to de @ few odd bits of work that his father has not had time to come to.

Oh, I don’t know,” replied C., with feeling. “It seems to me that as eating eggs they are a failure.” “I am sure you do not understand,” suggested the guest. “These eges come 2000 miles down the Amazon River. The supply is very limited, and all that are brought to Europe are divided equally between Mr. Gor- don Bennett and Count Herbert Bis- marck. I believe these eggs cost in the neighborhood of $400 a dozen.” Poor C., to whom a corned-beef sandwich would have been much more welcome, tried to hide his feel- ings, pL didn’t talk any busi- ness w m, and the next him back home and fired “om — The Herald building, copied from the town hall of Verona, Italy, had been standing four years before Bennett came from France to see it. But on his way uptown from the pier he stopped for luncheon at the Union Club, then at Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue. The chops he ordered did not suit him and a row with the waiter and then with the steward followed. Thoroughly angered, Ben- nett telephoned to a steamship line, found a ship was leaving within the hour, hired the _ captain’s cabin, rounded up his valet and was off to sea without having seen the Herald building. Bennett impressed his personality, or at least his whims, even upon the phraseology of his newspapers. The Herald’s ‘“‘don’t list,” by reason of its formidable length, is a byword among newspaper men. ‘In so far as it is based on the use of good En- glish, good taste and common sense, it does not differ from other pam- phiets of that kind in offices where such obsolescent textbooks persist; but in its departure from them it is an expression of Bennett’s verbal likes and dislikes. His Famous Don’t List. A headline of five words which ap- peared in another New York news- paper not so long ago aroused com- ment in the Herald office because it violated four Herald ‘“‘don’ts.” It read: “Banker Morgan Sails on Liner.” The Herald style book terms “banker,” as thus used, “a name handle,” and forbids it. Modern transatlantic vessels do not sail, and the verb is forbidden in the Herald except for sailing vessels or their passengers. The word “on” is for- bidden in this connection—Mr. Mor- gan was ‘on board” or “aboard.” And in the Herald there is no such useful word as “liner.’”’ The head, edited according to Herald rules, would read, “Mr. Morgan, a banker, | left on board a steamship.” An automobile in the Herald can- not be called an auto, a car, or a ma- chine. A railway engineer is an “en- gine driver.” An airplane is not a plane, nor a telephone a phone. “Plan” may not be used as a verb or in any other way except as designat- ing architectural or engineering drawings or in connection with mili- tary campaigns. A record is never broken, so the rule goes, but a new record may be set. Bennett gravely directed that his reporters should not write about “nants,” “‘vests’’nor “full dress suits.”’ Many of his “don'ts” grew out of social terms. He forbade the use of “clubman” and of “visit.”” His re- porters were not permitted to write of ‘“‘box parties” at theaters, nor ‘‘in- vited guests,” nor “dinner dances,” nor ‘‘maids of honor,” nor hotel ‘‘pa- tron,”’ nor “society men,’ “Social leader’’ and ‘society girl’’ were taboo. No Diplomats, All Diplomatist.s In Bennett's lexicon there was no such word as “diplomat.” It was diplomatist. A preached of the Gospel was not, and presumably still is not, for the Herald a ‘“‘minister.”’ That word is reserved for “‘diploma- tists.” Bennett’s fondness for dogs and sport manifested itself in these rules: “‘Hunting dogs’ must be avoided; use ‘hounds.’ In an objec- tionable case the dogs were English setters. Use the ‘g’ in Pekingese.” ‘Say ‘hunting’ when referring to the chase of game on _ horseback, and ‘shooting’ when the sportsman is | afoot.”’ One can be a member of a club or a church, according to Bennett's rule, but not a member of a crew. He held that the crew of a steam- ship should not be called sailors, but seamen. His predilection for the sea and for yachting caused him to list a set of nautical rules separately in his style book, for fear his men would write like landlubbers. They were cautioned not to use “prow” for “bow,” “wheel” for “screw,” nor “waves” for “seas.” ‘“Waves,” the style book explains, “are sur- face undulations; seas do damage.” There are nearly 30 of these nau- tical rules. “‘Do not use ‘took up the anchir,’” says one; “use ‘weighed the anchor.’” In the same way “took in cargo” is forbidden in fa- vor of “stowed cargo.” To enforce these rules Bennett had a system of fines and suspen- sions. With the death of Bennett the Herald staff is wondering what fate is in store for them. For 20 years and more Bennett has had practically no intercourse with his relatives, his sister, Mrs. Isaac Bell; his nephew, Isaac Bell Jr., and his nieces, the Countess d’Armon and Mrs. Ricardo. His nephew has never been inside the Herala Buliding. Since Bennett's marriage in 1914 to the Baroness de Reuter it has been generally understood that she would inherit the Herald. Mrs. Bennett Saw Extravagance. Two years ago she visited the Herald Bullding on Sunday after- noon at an hour when most of the staff was absent. Mrs. Bennett wanted to see the whole building, and did. But the only comment she made was in reference to the large number of vacant desks. She pro- fessed to be unable to understand why they should be vacant, ana especially why there should be #0 them. —e bedm see,” she finally said, “why one desk aero t do for two or three men. They certainly could use it one at a time. I think | there is a great deal of waste here.” Aside from the finding of Living- a stone by Stanley the enterprise that brought the Herald and Bennett raore fame than probably any other one thing was the dispatching of Jeanette expedition to discover the north pole. The ex- renses of .the expedition were borne entirely by Bennett. While his the ill-fated — interest in navigation probably z nd in connection with his interest ad something to do with his con- | in north polar exploration he told, a’ ception of the idea, it was primarily | short time after Dr. Cook claimed to an enterprise to advertise the Herald. have discovered the pole, the follow- ing incident as a joke on himself: Dr. Cook, probably having in mind Mr. Bennett's interest in such mat- ters, made haste as soon as he got | into telegraphic communication with Paris, to wire him to this effect: “Have discovered the north pole.

The dispatch avas delivered to Mr. Bennett just as he was about to take a train from Paris. He rushed into the telegraph office, ac- cepted Dr. Cook’s offer, and wired instructions to his banker to send Dr Cook $25,000. “After I was on the train,”’ said Mr. Bennett, “I read Dr. Cook's mes- sage more carefully and found that he had offered 25,000 words for $10,000, while in my hurry I had read it 10,000 for $25,000. Ags it was, I got 25,000 words for $£5.000 —and it was worth it. I never men- tioned the incident to.Dr. Cook.” European Edition. Many years ago Bennett started a European edition of the Herald, published in Paris, and an English edition, published in London. The | former survives owing to the will- ingness of Bennett to dip into his pocket for a substantial annual def- icit. On one occasion when a rumor became current that a company was about to start another English pa- per in Paris, Bennett wrote and pub- lished in the New York Herald an editorial in which he said he had spent 35,000,000 francs ($7,000,000) before he brought the European edi- tion in sight of the point where it would not create a deficit. When any- one had the temerity to criticise the European edition, he would says: “T do not claim that the European edition is a real newspaper. I pub- lish it for my amusement and for the idle rich.” The London Herald was short-lived. His dictorial methods,: his utter dis- regard of English traditions and conventions, did not square with the London idea. He failed of support and became engaged in bitter con- troversies, some of which were car- ried into the courts. After the col- lapse of the London Herald, Bennett never visited that country, but one reason assigned for. this was the strict quarantine laws against dogs. The proprietor of the Herald always took several dogs with him when he traveled and the English quarantine regulations would have compelled rim to be separated from his pets for a considerable time if he went to Ergland. Bennett averaged a little better than one visit to New York in twv years after he took up his residence in Paris. He seldom remained in New York more than a week. Into that week he compressed more busi- ness than most men do in a month. On these visits he occupied his own residence at 37 West Forty-seventh street. Policy of the Herald. Mr. Bennett’s comprehensive world knowledge ted him logically fto pursue a world-wide pvulicy in his conduct of the Hera!d, rather than give the preponderance of attention to New York. If, om one of Lés an- nual cruises, hs foun: a dangerous bit of water in somc remote region of the Far East, where he thought there should be a lighthouse, he would begin in the Herald and its Paris edition a campeign for such u ‘tighthouse; and continue it with is much vigor as any other New York publisher would conduct a local po- litical campaign. Probably not 29 persons in New York ever heard wf the name of the particular spot, and fewer than that cared—but James Gordon Bennett cared, and that was sufficient to justify any amount of newspaper space and any expense. In pursuance of his worldwide journalistic policy he paid special at- tention to the Central and South American countries, Cuba and even Hayti. He was the first publisher of a New York paper to sense the coming of a new order in China, and for years published news from his staff correspondents in that coun- try at enormous expense for cable ——— oe TRY THIS FOR ECONOMY ‘*Conserving,’’ ‘*Economy’’ and ‘‘Thrift’’ are the present- day watchwords and well they may be. Are you conserving your health? Are you eco- nomical in buying treatment for disease? You should be! If our stomach, liver, kidneys, owels and blood are not right in every sense, you should at once begin a treatment to re- store good, healthy conditions.

A demurrer to the amended peti-| tion in the second James Campbell will contest case was argued yester- | day before Circuit Judge Kiene. A demurer to the original petition was sustained several months ago by Judge Rassieur, who held that the suit had not been filed within two years’ time from the probating of the will,.as provided by statute. In the amended petition additional plaintiffs, including two married women, were named. It was contend- ed by L Frank Ottofy, attorney for the plaintiffs, that the statute of limitations does not apply to married women. Coufise! for the defense cited to Judge Klene a ruling of the Indiana Supreme Court to the effect that “a petition must be good as to all o the plaintiffs or is good as. o none.” | : Ottofy contended that he had the right to dismiss the suits as to all 'except the marrietl women. He also contended that the suit was filed in the prescribed time. The will was. probated June 17, 1914, and the pres- ent suit was filed June 17, 1916. Ottofy pointed out that the statute says “within two years after the date of probaing,” and he contended that the | date on which the will is actually | filed should not be computed in une) time. ill case was decided ad- | ome ae the plaintiffs by a jury, which finding was upheld by the Su- preme Cdqurt.

Yesterday the price basis showed a material drop from that time, the average being 25c to 45c decline, the most of this loss being registered on the better grades © of light hogs. Compared with a week ago yester- ; » @ay, the general market averaged 20c per cwt lower, though there was but little change on pigs; the kinds weighing 120 to 140 lbs were 10c lower, while the extreme light pigs and big rough packing hogs sold equally as good as the week béfore. The drop in the market was due primarily to the inaction of local 7 ker buyers, who have fought the sue hard whenever they entered the sion. The main operators have en the butcher and order buyers, ough former extended most waupport to the trade.

The men—500 of: them— came from Jefferson Barracks. Most were rookies. Contributors saw be- fore them the cause to which they were contributing and the combina- tion of soldiers and women was one that could not easily be denied. Many of the soldiers added a word where the appeal of the women seemed in- sufficient to “land” the passer. Appeal Made Gencral. The appearance of the women in” the streets converted the drive from ae Re a ge: Fe ORS MR, PS Rinse 4 ea he was given its most thorough going- of many hours of sewing and knit- | trips” ms eanraein to teams working pared in advance to a general appeal. Boy Scouts appeared on street cars and mail carriers and policemen ap- peared at the doors of private homes. The women began their work so early that most of business St. Louis found them waiting when they reached the downtown section. The women collected in Twelfth street, where they received their boxes and then marched in small groups to the stations to which they had been as- signed. The zone of their activity was restricted to the streets between Twelfth and Fourth and Pine land Washington. Women stationed along Locust Street frequently stepped into the roadway and held up their boxes to the stream of automobiles flowing down that thoroughfare. Many of the contributions that came from that source were of the $1 bill va- riety. Men who found it necessary to venture abroad during the morn- ing filled their pockets with smal] change and played no favorites, giving a coin to every box that was held yp to them. Many found it wise before many trips to see that the small change was quite small. First Contingent Relieved at 11:30. Those women who had gone on duty at 8 a. m. were relieved by a second contingent who gathered,in Twelfth street and marched down Olive street, dropping out at their stations. At 4 o’clock Red Cross au- tomobiles went through the streets collecting the boxes. Many of the women made these general observations—that the per- centage of women who gave was much smaller than that of the men; that the more plainly dressed and even poorly clad gave much more generally than did those whose at- tire indicated affluence, and that the number of actual slackers was in- finitesimal. One woman remarked that the newsboy at his corner would have no capital left to start the week. He deposited most of his pennies in the red box as he re- ceived them. Traffia officers directed traffic throughout the day, with a fan in either hand, the fan bearing a large Red Cross, visible at a long dis- tance. During the afternoon an au- tomobile driven by a woman of the Red Cross Ambulance Corps drove through the streets with two Red Cross dogs in the tonneau. Red Cross dogs are used to search out wounded in No Man’s Land. A sign on the automobile read: “The dogs & Solicitation whichs heretofore has are helping, are you?” - Sidelights of the Day | a HE methods employed by Ernest aS A Victor Swanson, a very ener- getic Jefferson _Barraqks re- cruit from Galesburg, Ill, to aid Mrs. Wesley A.

Every employe of Sonnenfeld'’s, 610 Washington avenue, has sub- scribed to the second Red Cross war showing that the war visers, at the beginning and fighting it out yesterday;-declared that the strength of will of the American people has ceveloped to a point that insures the force necessary to conquer the Ger- mans in this war, though it take three, four, five or 10 years. : “Now that we are in this war and have it from the very lips of the Kaiser’s own agents that Germany had long planned this war, we real- ize that the mistake was was in not going into the struggle in the be- ginning and fighting it out on the issues we now understand,” said the former President. ‘“‘The American people are behind this war, even though it takes an army of five to ten millions men, but when we land on the shores of France with the full expression of all the force we are ca- pable of, we know the war will be ended.’’ The former President said that St. Louis, like his own native city, Cin- cinnati, derives much of its pros- perity from its citizens of German origin, a large majority—99 per cent —-of whom he declared are loyal to the United States. After prolonged cheering had subsided, Taft contin- ued: “They have been exposed to an embarrassing situation and they, like many others not of German origin, now realizing that the Kaiser and his party planned and started this ter- rible war. Now that the war and the revelation of lies has been made, | was long i Aroused to Point of Fur- fice,””’ he. added. Thinks Long War Probable. “As long as the war lasts, and it probably will run on two or three years longer, we must have an in- strumentality in France through which our spirit of love and appre- ciation of what our allies have done for us may flow. The Red Cross is able to furnish this instrumentality, if we provide it with funds.” Taft said he believed that the Red Cross had done much to give the Ameircan people an insight into how to get real pleasure and sat- | isfaction out of their money. | “In these campaigns we have ' found out many of our citizens, who, accordjng to the Tennessee expres- ‘sion, have been ‘hiding out’ and leaving the work to others,” he as- serted. “This new method gives all an opportunity to give. They have been elected, as it were, and are glad to serve. “We find the man who has given $100, but who should give $10,000. We induce him to give the larger amount and it is very much the same as the story of the fox in Aesop’s fables, who lost his tail and went around telling other foxes that a tailless fox was an up-to-date fox. “So with the $10,000 man. °He goes about telling other $10,000 men that in order to be in the. thing properly they must do as he did. “Therefore, we all know more about the spirit of love of giving it has spread like a contagion around the country, and the spirit of pa- triotism has devetoped with it.’’ Taft warned the optdémist “that there is a great task ahead of this country.” But we will be better for itqa accomplishment, for we shall demonstrate to the world that we have accepted the responsibility of saving the world.” American Spirit Rising. The former President said that after we get over our first disposi- tion to “blow,” and realize our mis- takgs, our spirit rises to take on the difficuHties with courage. “Oundminds are beginning to say that all the energy and capacity of. this 100,000,000 people “must. be. cencentrated in an effort as strong and effective as any system of Ger- man efficiency, to the support of our armies,’ declared Taft: “Without speaking of the blund- ers and delays, I say that in the i | | i full measure of demands & the of-| | Red Cross Indispensable, | Gen.

USE OF GERMAN PROHIBITED PIERRE, S. D,, May 25.—An or- der prohibiting teaching of the Ger- man language or its use in public meetings, including church services, in the State, was issued by the State Council of Defense today. The council also adopted an order covering the registration of all un- employed males in the State above 16 years of age, with penalties for failure to obtain employment. oe ee ete a Se ‘ fy * body cared how much he fussed, just so he dug deep—and they did dig deep, as is shown by the totals today.

The Rea Cross uniform worn as a reward for serv- ice actually performed inspired the solicitors with confidence, as it did the contributors with something ap- proaching reverence. The further protection of United States soldiers—one of which accom- panied each group of solicitors—and the authority implied therein, gave assurance that no matter how bold a solicitor might become, her acts were incapable of misinterpretation. It was to have been a ‘“‘mute ap- peal.” Orders were that no word was to be spoken, only the presenta- tion of the officially inscribed Red ‘their fingers, Cross box. It was almost pitiful early in the day to see women talking with with their eyes and gestures, while forcibly restraining themselves from speech. But quick- ly enough there was a general agree- ment that it could not be done, and women were soon using not only their gift of speech but whatever other gifts were at hand, to attract the coin. Solicitor Catches Coins, Mrs. Claude Matthews, ata Twelfth and Olive corner, revived a childhood skill at baseball and employed it to catch coins tossed from passing street cars and automobiles. And when the crowd discovered that here was 4a woman who really could catch, they kept her busy.

In front of a popular-priced res- taurant a young girl named Mary Hendry was having a great success with the one phrase, “But you haven't put any thing into MY box.” She said she was successful because she had the tact to wait until the well-known “brute” was fed and in & good humor before she approached him.

CALLED FOR U-BOAT BASES OFF IRELAND John Devoy in Message Sent Through Bernstorff in 1916 Urged That Arms Be Sent to Island. By the Associated “Press. WASHINGTON, May 25.—More evidence than that disclosed in the British official statement of the close connection between tke Irish Sinn Fein and German influence is in the hands of the British and American Governments, it was stated offi- cially here today. Arrests are to be made soon in this country and pos- sibly additional arrests in Ireland. Department of Justice officials to- day pointed to the disappearance of Jeremiah O’Leary, an Irish-Ameri- can, on the eve last week of his trial on charges of publishing seditious matter, as a strong indication that O’Leary and others are informed of other charges which might be brought against them. he Associated Press. BY ONDON, May 25.—Germany’s ef- forts to foment revolution in Ire- land with the aid of the Sinn Fein are laid bare in a statement from - the Official Press Bureau, reviewing 2 this phase of the Irish political sit- uation since the beginning of the war. After the abortive rebellion of Waster week, 1916, plans were made for a revolt in 1917, but this miscer- ried because of America’s entr) into the war and Germany's inability to send troops to Ireland. An uprising in Iréland was planned for this year after the German offensive in the West had been successful and when Great Britain presumably would be stripped of troops. Concerning the recent arrests in Treland, the statement says that facts and documents, for obvious reasons, cannot be disclosed at this time nor ean the means of communication be- ‘tween Germany and Ireland. One phase of every plan called for the establishment of submarine bases in Ireland. .In the present circum- stances, it ts added, no other course was open to the Government, “if use- less bloodshed was,to be avoided and its Guties to its allfes fulfilled but to intern the authors and abettors of this criminal! intrigue.” Statement From Press Bureau. The statement from the press bu- reau follows: ‘The revolutionary movement in Ireland, which culminated in the ar- rest of a considerable number of per- gons last week, consisted of two closely related series of activities: A—Attempts by the German Govern- ment to foment rebellion in Ireland, and, B—Preparations made in Ire- land to carry these attempts into ac- tion. The story of the active con- mection between the leaders of the ‘Sinn ‘Fein movement and the Ger- mans, as disclosed by documents in possession of the British Govern- ment, falls into two parts, the period prior to and period since the abor- tive Irish rebellfon of Easter, 1916. “The events of the first period can be told in some detail, but the sec- ond period, which concerns recent events permits of no more than a summary as a full statement on the facts and documents in possession of the Government would disclose the names of persons who stood by the Government and also the channeis of communication through which the German Government was acttng and which it would not be in the public interest to reveal at present. “The story begins as early in the War as Nov. 6, 1914, when Herr Zimmermann transmitted, through Count von Bernstorff, a message from Sir Roger Casement (later cap- tured in Ireland and executed) ask- ing that a messenger, a native-born American, if possible, be sent to Ire- Jand with word that everything was favorable. He was to carry no letter for fear of arrest. Casement also asked that an Irish priest should be gent to Germany with the assistance of the German legation in Norway to work in prison camps to. corrupt Irish prisoners of war. This priest Was a certain John T. Nicholson, an American citizen of Irish birth. He reached Germany safely and we find him in January, 1915, transmitting Messages to America. “According to a report of Capt. von Papen (German militady attache in Washington), dated Dec. 5, 1914, Verbal assurances were sent in re- Sponse to Casement’s request that an excellent impression had been pro- duced in Ireland. In the beginning | Of 1916 the plot ripened and on Feb. _ 40 of that year Count von Bernstorff ~ gent to a covering address in Rotter- @am a dispatch signed with the name _ @f Skal, one of his principal Amert- | @an agents. “The dispatch included an extract | between *“‘Impudent Fake’’ Devoy Says of Irish Disclosures Declares Old Stories Which Were Without Foundation Have Been Brought. Up Again. By the Associated Preas. NEW YORK, May 25.—John De- voy, named in the British Press Bu- reau’s official exposure of alleged German-Sinn Fein Irish ‘uprising plot, as an intermediary in America Germany and _ the Irish leaders, issued a statement here to- night branding the London an- nouncement as “an impudent fake.” Devoy is the editor of the Gaelic- American, an anti-British weekly newspaper, published in this city. Declaring that there was no con- spiracy justifying the arrests last week, Devoy asserted he ‘‘never had any dealings, directly or indirectly, with any agent or emissary, official or unofficial, of the German Govern- ment since the United States entered the war.” Devoy termed the British an- nouncement “a rehash of old sto- ries,” and seid they were brought up to date “by the addition of later in- ventions.” He ridiculed Premier Lloyd George’s announcement of “a con- spiracy for a great rising in Ireland” and the statement tat ‘no taunts would drive the government to give away the sources of its information”’ as an admission by the Prime Mini- ster that “the evidence will not stand the test of examination of court.” The Irish revolution dictator resi- dent in America is a myth, Devoy asserted. He charged also that a man “long under suspicion” and who “Is not in the confidence of any- body on either side of the Atlantic, but who has been ‘pulling the leg’ of the American secret service for some time,’’ is the creator of the entire texture of information on which the British announcement was based. The sole object of the charge made officially in London. Devoy said, is to create antipathy to Ireland. in America, Irish leaders in the United States have had no dealings with Germany since this country becam a belligrent, he stated. | “The only opposition to England,” he continues, “is an open and avowed movement to resist in which he asserted all political parties, including large numbers of Orangemen, were participating. Devoy first attained nation-wide notority when, after the unsuccess- ful Irish rebellion of Easter week. 1916, he accused President Wilson of giving information to the British Government which betrayed S8ir Roger Casement and frustratetd the German plans to land arms and mu- nitions in Ireland in support of the uprising. Later he modified his accusations naming State Department officials instead of the President. Devoy’s name was mentioned later in the same year in indictments re- turned by the Federal Grand Jury which investigated the German plot to blow up the Welland Canal. In his newspaper Devoy repeatedly has spoken of “the next rebellion” in treland and predicted it would be successful. In Octoberfi, 1917, he was named by the Sinn Fein leader, “General’ Liam Mellows, arrested here, as having participated at a conference in this city at which plans were discussed for another Irish up- rising. \ American Government a note fAxing | Easter Saturday for the uprising and urging the dispatch of munitions in time. March 4, Von Jagow (Ger- man Fo€fign Minister) replied that the arms would be lande din Tralee Bay a asked that the necessary arrangements be made in Ireland through Devoy. On Mareh 14 Von Bernstorff replied that the Irish agreed that full details were being sent to Ireland by messenger. “The next day Von Bernstorff tele- graphed the code to be used between the Germans and the rebels while the arms were in transit and’ ex- plained that a submarine might safe- ly enter Dublin Bay and go as far as Pigeon House without encounter- ing. nets. “On March 26 Von Jagow replied that the arms would be sent and that a special code word would be used every night as the introduction to the German wireless press service. In a message from Von Bernstorff to Berlin, the Germans were assured that there were numerous private wireless receiving stations in Ireland. “On April 18 and April 19’ urgent mressages were sent from America to Berlin fixing the delivery of arms for the evening of Easter Sunday, pressing for the landing of German troops and asking for an air raid on England and naval attack on the En- glish coast. These attacks actually took place between April 24 and 26. “It was declared to be the hope of the rebels and their German . and American friends to blockade the Irish ports against England and es- tablish bases in Ireland for German submarines, “The rebellion broke out a day later than scheduled, on Easter Mon- day, April 24, but, as the world is aware, German support miscarried and it ended -in a complete failure. The report of the Royal Commission on the rebellion in Ireland states: ‘It is now a matter of common rotoriety that the Irish volunteers had been in communication with the authorities in Germany and were for a long time known to have been sup- plied with money through Irish- American societies. This was s0 stated in public by John MacNeil ‘former president of the Sinn Fein) on Nov. 8, 1914. It was suspected long before the outbreak that some of the money came from German sources. “The evidence on this subject in possession of the British Government provides the clearest proof of these suspicions. “It became clear very soon after the rising that the Sinn Fein leaders again were asking Germany for help. “On June 7 there was a message from Berlin to Washington referring to ‘a 259 of May 6,’ a message which is missing and saying that Germany was perfectly ready to give help if the Irish only would say what sort of help they required. “On June 15 Von Bernstorff al- ready had sent a dispatch giving ac- count of the rebellion as far as his information went, anc stating that £1000 ($5000) had been provided for the defense of Casement. On July 25 he sent a long message giv- ing further news from Ireland and explaining that the work of re- organizing the rebels was making good progress and that their lack of money had been remedied by him. Director in America. “On Sept. 8, in a dispatch to Ber- lin, he inclosed a memorandum from @ person called ‘the Irish revolution director resident in America,’ which contained detailed proposals for a fresh rising. Any rising, said the Irish revolution director, must be contingent upon the sending by Ger- many of an ‘expedition with suffi- cient military force to cover a land- Boohm was arrested by us in Brit- ish waters. “We again find Von Bernstorff on Dec. 4, attaching a note surrep- titiously to a message passed by the American Government in which he mentioned that the Irish leaders in America were pressing for an an- swer to their proposal of Sept. 8. He seems to have followed this on Christmas day with a message which is missing, for on the last day of 1916 Foreign Secretary Zimmermann in- formed him of quantities of muni- tions which it was proposed to land between Feb. 21 and 25, 1917. He added that it was impossible to send German troops. “On Jan. 18, 1917, Bernstorff re- plied that his Irish committee de- clined the proposal as without Ger- man troops a rising would be use- less, “After America’s entrance into war in April, 1917, the line of com- munication between the German Government and the leaders of the Sinn Fein party was broken tempor- arily though there was no reason to believe that the messenger service between America and the Irish de- vised by John Devoy was affected. Spoke of German Invasion. “A clew to the new line of com- munication was obtained subsequent- ly and has been followed up actively. The effect of this new line in Ireland is visible in the speeches of the Sinn Fein leaders during this period. For example, Prof. de Valera, address- ing the convention of the Irish vol- unteers on Oct. 27, 1917, said: **By proper organization and re- cruiting we could have 600,000 fight- ing volunteers in Ireland. That would be a big army but without the opportunity and means for fighting it could, only be used as a menace. There already has been too much bloodshed without success and } lion without hopeful chances of suc- cess. We can see no hope of that in the near future except through a German invasion of England and the landing of troops and munitions in Ireland. We should be prepared to leave nothing undone toward that end.’ “On another occasion in January of this year, De Valera said: “‘as long as Germany is the en- emy of England and England is the enemy of Ireland so long will Ire- fand be a friend of Germany.’ “For some considerable time it was difficult to obtain accurate in- formation as to German-Sinn Fein plans but about April, 1918, it was ascertained definitely that a plan for landing arms in Ireland was ripe for execution and that the Germans only awaited definite information from Ireland as to the time, and place and date. “The British authorities were able to warn the Irish command regard- ing the probable landing of an agent of Germany from a subraarine. The agent actually landed on April 12 and was arrested. “The new rising depended largely upon the landing of munitions from submarmes and there is evidence to show that it was planned to follow a successful German offensive in the West and was to take place at a time when Great Britain presum- ably would be stripped of troops. “According to documents found on his person, De Valera had worked out in great detail the constitution of his rebel army. He hoped to be able to muster 600,000 trained men. There t& evidence that German mu- nitions actually had been shipped on submarines from Cuxhaven in the beginning of May and that for some time German submarines have been busy off the West Coast of Ireland ‘on other errands than the destruc- tion of allied shipping. conscription,’’’ would never advocate another rebel- WENICO BELIEVED 10 AM AGTION AT THROUGH CUBA Interruption of Intercourse Between Washington and Carranza Governments Re- garded as Possible. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 25.—In Mex- ico’s sudden breaking off of diplo- matic relations with Cuba is seen an indirect action against the United States. Those here most familiar with Latin-American affairs pro- fess to see in it the forerunner of more direct action, possibly an inter- ruption of intercourse between the United States and Mexico. Although without official informa- tion of a detailed character, it is un- derstood here that Mexico’s real grievance against Cuba is the recent incident in which the Mexican Min- ister to Argentina, Senor Ysidro Fa- bela, was delayed in Havana while some official, ostensibly a Cuban cus- toms inspector, searched his baggage and probably removed some papers said to be of an international char- acter. No announcement of this feature is being made here and no official secrets, if there be any, are being dis- closed. But it is known that at the same time some sort of a negotiation was going on between Mexico, Ar- gentina and possibly one other Latin- American country, having for its purpose a cemmon attitude toward the war. It is presumed that any papers found in Senor Fabela’s lug- gage had to do with it. This incident is believed to be the real cause of the break, and those who entertain this belief are firm in the conviction that Mexico was con- vinced that the United States was re- sponsible for the incident. When Senor Fabela’s luggage was searched it was maintained by some that the person who did it was not a Cuban official at all, but some other agent in the disguise of a Cu- ban inspector. Later, however, it seemed to have been satisfactorily established that the man really was a Cuban inspector. A break between Cuba and Mex- ico, it is felt, hurts practically noth- ing but a long-standing friendly re- lation. In the opinion of those in close touch with the subject it may actually give Cuba a free hand, as the Mexican Foreign Minister says in his announcement, but perhaps not in the manner suggested. American agents for some time have been reporting German agents operating in Cuba, some of them crossing frequently to the United States as Cuban citizens or Mexican citizens. A severance of diplomatic relations probably would leave the Cuban Government more at liberty to investigate their activities. When first-class Powers are con- cerned a break in diplomatic rela- tions inevitably has been followed by war. Between lesser Powers this rule aften fails to hold good. Cuba Credits Report Mexico Has Broken Off Relations. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, May 25.—A high Gov- ernment official, who refused to al- low his name to be used, said today when shown Mexico City dispatches to the effect that diplomatic relations between Cuba and Mexico had been broken, that although the Cuban Government received no previous no- tice regarding Mexico’s action, the dispatches doubtless gave a correct view of the situation. He stated that he considered Pres- ident Carranza’s action to be a friendly one, taken to avoid possible complication later in view of Cuba’s situation as one of the warring na- tions, which find it necessary some- times to take unusual actior. He declared the Cuban Minister had been absent from Mexico for several months, and that his succes- sor had been proposed. The Cuban Charge 4@’Affairs was recalled from Mexico City before the present sit- uation arose for reasons not connect- ed with it. The legation was left in charge of its secretary, whose recall is not contemplated at present. No diplomatic exchanges, he said, had taken place which might indi- cate seriously strained relations be- tween the two countries and he be- lieved that these relations might be considered as only suspended dur- ing the war crisis. TWO AMERICAN AVIATORS = KILLED ON FRONT IN FRANCE Philadelphia Man’s Machine Shot Down When Over Enemy Lines —Other Wore Bravery Cross. PARIS, May 25.—Two American aviators, Paul Kurtzson of Philadel- Phia and Roger Babiani, who came from Cuba, have been killed on the front, the Herald reports today. Both had been in the American ambulance service and transferred to the Amer- ican Flying Corps. Kurtzson, according to the advices, asked permission to go up on Thurs- day. He flew over the German lines and shortly afterward his machine came down in flames. Babiani, who was killed Tuesday, was the wearer of a French military cross awarded for bravery while acting as an am- bulance driver.

LOUIS Seeks Facts Regarding Classi- fication of 3 Sons of J. H. Drury, Chairman of No. 1 Local Draft Board. An agent of the Department of Justice has been in East St. Louis several days investigating the facts in connection with the classification, for the draft, of three sons of John H. Drury, chairma f No. 1 local board. Following the) agent’s ar- rival, the case of Martin Drury, one of the sons, who obtained deferve4 Classification on the ground that he was an Assistant Supervisor of St. Clair County, has been taken up by the District Board. Martin Drury is also City Attorney. John H. Drury, a coal and Ite dealer, is chair- man of the Democratic Coun- ty Central Committee, and is one of the leading politicians in the county. He has three sons of draft age, who were classified by the board of wnhici. he is chairman. Two of them were given deferred classification, and the third joined the navy. ‘ Lack of Harmony in Board. Frank Drury, one of the sons, was placed in class 5 because of physical disabilities. Martin Drury asked, in his questionnaire, for class 3, and was placed in it. John Drury, the third, was placed in class 1-A. He afterwards joined the navy. Dr. Charles F. Wilhelmj and C. Cc. Molla, the other ‘members of the board, last night related a history of the cases, and also told about the giving of deferred classification to Molla’s son, Joseph, who was mar- ried after the passage of the draft law. Dr. Wilhelmj and Molla have fallen out with Drury over @he pro- cedure in the cases of Drury’s sons, and the work of the board, it is said, has been seriously interrupted by the Jack of harmony. The War Department three weeks ago asked for a list of five men with special mechanical qualifications, Dr. Wilhelmj and Molla said. They learned later that the name of John Drury Jr., had been sent in as one of the five, without the sanction of Mol- la or Dr. Wilhelm}. They decided to let it go that way, and the other four men departed last Monday, but Drury failed to gO. Thomas E. Gasaway, the Govern- ment attorney, entered a session of the board Tuesday and asked why Drury hadn’t gone with the rest. According to Dr. Wilhelmj, the elder Drury said: Ask for Explanations. “Oh, he’s joined the navy.” Dr. Wilhelmj said he and Molla demand- ed to know how young Drury had enlisted without a release from the board, and that Chairman Drury ex- plained that he had released his son. The two members looked up the record, they said, and found that there was not even a pretense of a release recorded. The next day, Wednesday, Chairman Drury prought in his son’s enlistment card, and the release was then. entered, they said. They protested against Chairman Drury’s procedutfe, they said, but without result. Gasaway announced at the same time that he would appeal Martin Drury’s case. A search failed to re- veal his questionnaire, and Chairman Drury then informed the two mem- bers that he had taken the question- naire out of the files, and had sent it to the District Appeals Board, on re- quest, Dr. Wilhelmj continued. Engaged for More Than a Year. Dr. Wilhelmj explained the classi- fication of Joseph Mollay;swho was married after the passage of the draft law, but was placed in class 4. He said that Molla had been en- gaged for more than a year, but that his fiancee was a divorcee, and they were not permitted to marry within wealthy ‘she gave in a bankruptcy hearing, ‘and two years after the divorce. Dr. Wil- helmj said,he and Drury concluded his claim was legitimate. Molla did not vote. Later, however, Drury... asserted that he had not voted at.all, and made an entry that the record was in error. He also erased Molla’s classification, and did not substitute any, Dr. Wilhelmj asserted. The lat- ter declared, as a matter of fact. that Drury did vote, and that he made the entry of classification. Meantime the classification of the Drury sons and of Joseph Molla re- sulted in much discussion, and Jo- seph Molla came before the board Monday and asked to be Placed in Class 1-A, and sent away with the first quota. His father seconded the application. Chairman Drury, the other mem- bers say, held that Molla could not be reclassified, because he had never been classified in the first place. Molla and Dr. Wilhelmj overruled CHARGED EDWARD DEFFAA’S WIFE IS" WITH PERJURY Gives Bond Under Warrant Issued in Connec- tion With Bankruptcy Hearing Against Mother-in-Law. Mrs. Laura Deffaa, wife of Ed- ward Deffaa, well known Democra- tic politician and former member of the House of Delegates, is under a $2000 bond, on a charge of per- jury made in a warant issued yes- terday by the United States District Attorney. Accompanied by her hus- band, an atorney and a bondsman, she surrendered at the United States Marshal's office when notified the warrant had been issued. The charge is based on testimony before Referee Coles. She testified that she had, intact, $12,700 which her mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma Deffaa, had given her. Later when a@ search revealed only $10,950, she resumed the stand and said she had given $1000 back to her mother-in- law, and $750 to her husband. The bankruptcy petition was filed by the Lafayette-South Side Bank the Langenberg Grain Co., against Mrs. Emma Deffaa. It was the result of their attempts to col- lect, respectively, $6500 and $5000, for which amounts they held Ed- ward Deffaa’s notes, indorsed with his mother’s: name. Frank Nall was appointed receiver for her. It was shown that she received $26,000 from the city for land pur- chased for the Free Bridge ap- proach site, at Seventh street and Chouteau avenues, and that $12,700 remained after a mortgage was satisfied. The creditors demanded to know where this money was gone. Mrs. Emma “Deffaa testified she gave it to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Laura Deffaa, for caring for her in her old age. Mrs. Laura corroborated this, and said she still had the money in a dresser drawer, at home. Nall went to the home, 907 South Seventh street, to get it, but only found $10,950. It was subsequently that Mrs. Deffaa told of the division of the other $1750 between her mother-in- law and her husband. Chase Morsey, attorney for the bank, turned over transcripts of the conflicting testimony to the District Attorney early this week, resulting in the issuance of the warrant. Mrs. Emma Deffaa denied at the hearing that she endorsed her son’s notes, and her husband, Louis Def- faa, subsequently told of signing his wife's name to them. Edward Def- faa is president of the Southern Feed Co. him, and Joseph Molla was reclassi- | fied. He will go to a training camp with the next quota. Say Board Is “One-Man Affair.” Martin Drury is unmarried. H was appointed City Attorney by May- or Mollman a year ago to succeed Thomas L. Fekete Jr., who resigned to accept a commission in the armv. Fekete is married and has two chil- dren. Drury was elected Assistant Supervisor about a year ago. Attor- ney Gasaway contends that the office may be refilled by appointment, and therefore does not entitle the holder to exemption. Such an appointment was made recently. “The board has become a one-man affair,’’ Dr. Wilhelmj said to a’ Post- Dispatch reporter. ‘Chairman Drury changes records, takes action with- out consulting us, and refuses to lis- ten to any protest. The situation has become unbearable. Mr. Molla and I have about decided to complain to the War Department.” Reporters made repeated efforts last night to reach Drury,, but were unable to do so. John H. Drury was said to be out of the city.

TWO AVIATORS KILLED WHEN MACHINES COLLIDE IN TEXAS Occupants of One Airplane in Acci- dent 800 Feet in Air Escape Injury. By the Associated Press. WACO, Tex., May 25.—Lieut. Willtam B. Kuen of Cynwyd, Pa., and Private William Miller Snyder of Philadelphia were killed instant- ly here late today, when their aitr- plane collided with another machine at a height of about 800 feet. 3 The two occupants of the other machine were uninjured. The two airplanes were locked to- gether by the impact of the colli- sion. The machines gradually de- scended and when about 250 feet from earth the aviators broke the lock and both-machine fell headlong. Two cadets in the other machine, whose names Rich Field authorities declined to make public tonight, es- caped without a scratch. . Lieut. Kuen was an instructor at Rich Field and Private Snyder a member of the 150th Aero Squadron. Cadet Killed While Practicing for Flying Exhibition.

A majority of the aldermanic Ways and Means Committee recom- mended the adoption of the increags at yesterday’s special session of the board, but Aldermen Udell and Halse ler, a minority, urged its defeat. ~°* The Board of Aldermen went inte committee of the whole to hear Comtproller Nolte’s reasons for sug- gesting an addition of 5 cents Her $100‘to the’rate originally pro —$2.35. Nolte said that the le rate was based' on the belief thaf the taxable valuation of pror St. Louis this year would be $7 000,000; but that the returns she it would be but $695,090,000. Wi a lower assessment than had beep expected, Nolte said, there woul have to be a ghigher tax rate. After receiving Comptroller te’s explanation the Aldermen sumed their session and unanimo ly passed the bill fixing the rate at $2.85, the same as it hag been for the last three years; %“ Nolte said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter that the only way to expenditures within the income the city was to waise the salary in- creases contemplated ‘in the “sg | ardization” bill, which is pend fore the Board of Aldermen. Thie bill would add $530,000 to the ent municipal payroll, Nulte said, Mayor Kiel disagreed with method of reducing expenses, held that the higher wages sh be allowed. ‘We can grant increases in wages, — 3 but use a smaller, number of ployes and discontinue our pr work of cleaning streets,” M Kiel said: ‘“‘We must pay’ memt of unions in the city’s employ” same wages they receive from fr vate employers,” he added. | Chairman Hart of the Ways’ ang Means Committee, said the “stan@i ardization’’ bill will go to the Boar of Estimate and Apportionment week, carrying an aggregate i crease of $530,000 in salaries. “It will be up to the Board Estimate to determine what must ber a | done to insure a safe balance in treasury.” Hart said.

Former President of N. C. St. L. Road Is Chairman of Committee Investigating Use of Lower Mississippi. WROTE BOOK IN 1909 SETTING OUT VIEWS Attitude Given in Review of Soo Canals — Says Water- ways Revival Is Bubble of Gullible Public. By Wire From the Washington Bu- rean of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 25.—John , Howe Peyton, who until Mr. McAdoo removed all railroad presidents was president of the N., C. & St. L., a con- trolled property of the L. & N., and whois now chairman of the commit- tee to which the recommendations of the Inland and Coastwise Water- ways Committee with respect to use of the lower Mississippi River during the war have been referred for re- port on their practicability, is the author of a book published in 1909 under the title, “The American Trangportation Problem.” Peyton’s attitude toward inland ex- pressed in this book that one cannot help doubting that he can approach the present project with an open mind. He likens the entire inland waterways movement in the United States to the South Sea and Missis- sippi bubbles, a type of enterprise into which, he says, demagogues and charlatans can always lead a gullible public. The following on the canals at the Soo is characteristic of his humor throughout the book and his specious reasoning: His Wiew of the Soo Canal. “In view of the preposterous argu- ments that have been foisted upon a gullible and long-suffering public by such men as J. E. Ransdell, president of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, and by many other soph- ists, it may be well to consider brief- “ly the actual cost of commerce on the have been built to improve the channel Superior and two magnificent canals that that connects Lake Lake Huron. “That the construction and main- water- ways has been fully justified is cer- tain—Jjust as manifest as it is that if tenance of these two short a gate for entrance to a pasture were only large enough to accommodate calyes and sheep it would be wise for the farmer or stock dealer to enlarge it when the calves grew towards ma- turity, rather than to perpetually confine his enterprise to calves and sheep because the gate was too nar- row for larger animals. . “If.such farmer should enlarge his gate and then decide that because he found a $5 investment enabled him to greatly increase his stock-raising facilities and profits, therefore he would proceed to spend a thousand dollars in asphalting an abandoned mountain trail that had been used by pack-horses long before the adja- cent highway was built,.he would be quickly put in shackles or strait- jacket by his family and friends. “Why do not our industrious Leg- 3 * islatures enact laws for the ‘regula- tion of ourfools, knaves and das- tards? Perhaps because it is s0 much pleasanter to regulate one's neighbors than one’s self. - . Oost of Two Projects. “The St. Mary’s River connects Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Originally there was a fall of about 20 feet at Sault Ste. Marie, and the middle of the river being the na- tional boundary between Canada and the United States, both nations con- _Structed canals to facilitate and cheapen navigation on the lakes. The Ste. Mary’s Falls Canal is on the American side of the channel. It is 1.6 miles long and 25 feet deep and cost $6,033,533. The Sault Ste. Ma- rie Canal is on the Canadian side of the channel. It is 1% miles long and 22 feet deep and cost $4,639,- 180.62. Both canals are free, and both are used alike by American and Canadian vessels. “Considered as gateways between the two great inland seas, the invest- ment that has been made is justified. Considered as waterways apart from their other functions, their naviga- tion is very costly. If we are to compare them with rivers where the ae len | of the channel _re- quires canatization (as in t ‘) of the Ohio River, which is nee aiese long) or else costly and perpetual dredging (as in the case of the lower Mississippi River from Cairo to New Orleans, Which is 966 miles), we can consider only the length of the canal pPreper in making comparison. “We have in this case two water- Ways, with an aggregate length of 2.73 miles, the construction of which see 510,67%)713,63. This at 4 per cent gives an an : ' i Seneniens nual interest charge “The coat of operating and main- | taining the Canadian Canal for the | fecal year 1906-7 was $23,811.47.

The total there- fora is 89,745,743 ton-miles at a cost of & 342,334.20, er a ton-mile cost of six-b 2nths cent. In addition to this there is a ton-mile cost of eight- tent! e} mills for expenses of the i freigitters, making a total rate of 'sixty-.aight one hundredths cent per ‘ton-m.}e. The rate charged by the 'Chesaps*ake & Ohio Railroad on coal ‘in carks 2d lots between the Kana- ‘wha coaJ fields and Cleveland on ‘Lake Eide is .185 cents. Therefore the actit2l cost of commerce on these caze2ls during the year 1907, in which far the largest commerce ever know}? Was borne upon them, was nearly* four times as great as ‘the cost of hauling the same class of freight om One of our railroads. If we consider the commerce of any other year tha 2 1907 we find the cost per ton-mile o1' the canals far great- er—for instana®, an average for the years 1904 to 11 96 for the Canadian ‘Canal shows 6,44 2,770 ton-miles and ia of 3.18 ca nts per ton-mile— 17 times as great as the railroad ‘rate abowe quoted\” Thus, the cost ;er ton-mile for transporting freight by boat from Duluth to Buffalo, a. distance of 843 | miles, which Senator \Yansdell found | | to be .08 of a cent, is entirely swept | aside by Peyton, whase argument | is better served by stinking to the maintenance of the Soo Canals and | the interest upon investrnents made in them by the Governments which | | built and maintain then for free| | traffic. | | Why was a man liké Peyton, | 'known to be uncompromising in ' his opposition to inland witterways traffic, made chairman of the com- mittee to which the recommenda- tions of the Inland and Cuastwise Waterways Committee with zrespect to the lower Mississippi were sent? Simply because the railroad men:sur- rounding McAdoo are hostile to the recommendations and desire+to kill them Mcxdoo himself is thought ta be still omen-minded in this matter. He was nofé informed in it when he be- came Director-General of Railroasds, se : ; : ‘sistant, Mr. Hines, ' | | and he is too busy to inform himself in it now. He must rely upon the advice of his aides, and these are all railroad men. His immediate as- formerly presi- dent of the L. & N., has. been throughout his railroad career, the arch enemy of inland waterways. Thus the matter stands at Wash- ington now. It may safely be said that virtually the entire railroad in- fluence of the United States is thrown against developing traffic upon the lower Mississippi. Such a development would likely dislocate the existing movement of freight from the Mississippi Valley to the sea. The consequences of such a dislocation would be to the railroads serious and far-reaching. That is why the report of the In- land and Coastwise Waterways Com- mittee on the lower Mississippi Riv- er project is being kicked around like a football in Washington now. It can never meet any better fate until the argument for it can be made to McAdoo as forcibly as he is con- tinually hearing the argument against it.

When the plan becomes operative the number of sizes and styles of tires manufactured and carried in stock, to the ultimate benefit of the makers, cealers and customers, will be reduced from approximatelx 200 to 28, thus conserving manufac ng facilities, reducing capital investe raw materials and finished produ® and giving better service to automo- bile owners by eliminating a major- ity of the sizes and styles now re- quired. The schedule calls for seven sizes of rims and nine sizes of pneu- matic tires, adequate to equip any motor vehicle up to a two-ton truck. The tire men requested the con- ference vith the N. A. C. C. and were able to show the advantages of Standardization in such a way that prompt approval was given to the plan, the adoption of which will be recommended to all automobile mianu- facturers. STORAGE BATTERY NOT A STORAGE BOX How is your battery working? Most of the automobile “fans” who claim to know their machines like books are about as well posted on that im- portant item, the storage battery, as they are about the lunar influence on the tides or the question of vege- tation on the planet Mars. Thee usual conception is that the storage battery is an unusual sort of box which by some complicated means electricity is stored and that every so often one must go to the garageman at the corner and have the thing refilled. The storage battery is really a misnomer. Instead of storing elec- tricity it generates électricity. It consists of a series of alternate posi- tive and negative plates made of lead which are immersed in a liquid known as the electrolyte. The action of the acid in the liquid on the lead in the plates produces the current. Very simple—the making of stor- age batteries appears, but in real- ity it is a most complicated operation involving a thorough and complete scientific knowledge of electricity. The Permalife Storage Battery, ad- mitted by many to be the greatest device ever produced for automobile lighting, starting and igntion incor- porates in its makeup many vital im- provements which make possible the elimination of weakness. Permalife plates are so protected against these prevailing battery diseases that their occurrence is practically impossible. MAXWELL 5-PASS. CAR MADE 27.9 ON GALLON A Maxwell five-passenger car, THINK NEWSPAPERS CAN HELP CATCH THIEVES At a meeting of the new South Side 1H. Zeis, Automobile Club held Thursday night at the office of the Riefling Automo-. bile Co., 55 new members were elect- ed. The club passed a resolution to request the St, Louis newspapers, in publishing reports of thefts of auto- mobiles, specify the make and type of the car stolen, and, if possible, the State license number. It was the opinion expressed at the meeting that this information would be carefully watched by garage men and buyers of second-hand cars, and would re- sult in the recovery of many cars and the possible arrest of the _ thieves, New members elcted at th meeting were as follows: Fred Pfeiffer, W. F. Reifess, H. B. Bollwerk, W. D, Craig, W. E. Frank, J. W. Zykan, Benj. Burch, Jack l. Foster, Frank Len. H. Holdenried, Cc. W. Lazeir, G. Jonkerst, I. W. Schaberg, O. M. Hinze, F. G. Junwaelter, 5.

TO JUDGE TRUCK CONTEST Three men nationally known for the interest they haye taken in bring- ing about greater efficiency in trans- portation will be the judges of the Packard Motor Car Co.'s $5000 truck carrying four passengers, made 27.9 miles on a gallon of gasoline on the hills of Alton and the “joy ride” lasted, an hour dnd a half. The idea was that of L. T. Hudson, distributor of the Maxwell at Alton. The experiment was made in a new car and Hudson was at the wheel and the throttle. Hart Chalk, sales- man for the Standard Oil Co., fur- hnished the gallon of gasoline. It was ordinary “kitchen variety.” The speedometer was turned back to zero and they took all the worst hills in the city. The route of the joy ride was Seibold's garage, where the Maxwell had its home, out Fourth street to State and back to Broadway and to Washington ave- nue, to Brown street, to Main street, to State Aid road, to East Alton, back to Milton Hill, up that to Brown, to Main, to Donald; to Washington, to Fourth, to Easton, to Third, to Mar- ket, round city hall to Broadway, to State to Belleview, to Summit, and kept on until the gasoline ran out and the engine quit. Teh record of the Maxwell is 51.3 miles and the average for the coun- try is 30 miles. The Alton hills are a hard proposition and 27.9 miles on one gallon is worth paying attention to. ARMORED AUTOCAR IN BIG PICARDY BATTLE In the first days of the German ad- vance in Picardy, motor trucks played a conspicuous part, rushing troops and supplies to hard-pressed sectors, and helping the British forces check the German tide. Can- who were adian machine gunners carried about in armored Autocars, took part in much of the open fight- ing. Their work is described in a letter written to the Autocar Com- pany, at Ardmore, Pa., by the driver of one of the armored cars. “T had the pleasure in the last big battle of driving an armored car built by you people,” says Edward Quinn, the driver, writing from the Canadian General Hospital at Basing- stoke, England. “I cannot say much about the bat- tle now, but the Autocars did fine and acquitted themselves like a 12- cylinder motor. We are all proud of them.” SICKLES HAS GLOBE TIRE. efficiency test. They are Waldemar Kaemppfert, automobile editor of Popular Science Monthly and con- tributor to the automobile section of McClure's; H. W. Slauson, M. E., mo- tor editor of Leslie’s, and Harold P. Gould, editor in chief of 100 per cent efficiency. Each of these men has been writ- ing for years on getting greater re- sults from motor trucks, both from the standpoint of lower operating eosts and the carrying of bigger loads. That they have wielded a powerful influence for better haul- ing at lower costs is generally rec- ognized. ST. LOUISAN IN TRENCHES A letter has been received by the Newell Motor Car Co. of St. Louis from Sylvester Garvey, who was for- merly service manager of that com- pany. It is dated “Somewhere in France.” Garvey reports that the Knight Motor is doing the heavy work in the tanks and expresses the hope that he will be able to “get” a German for every one of his friends at home. The J. B. Sickles Saddlery Co. has taken the agency for St. Louis and the surrounding territory for Globe tires. This high-grade tire has hith- erto ben handled in St. Louisa by the Globe Tire and Sales Co., which re- linquished the agency to the Sickles company, The latter company will carry in stock a large supply of all sizes, and will endeavor to make quick deliveries wherever necessary, _ al eh AN A Al TTT ‘ design. ably Cole.

The ring, which has been on the market for six years, is well and fa- vorably known to the trade in the West and Southwest, but has only recently been exploited in the East- ern market. The novel feature of the ring is a combination three-point radial ex- pansion and right-angle interlock. The manufacturer claims that ele- mentary mathematics teach that a plane is determined by three points, never any more and never any less, and that uniform pgessure cannot be secured with a one-piece or two- piece piston ring, or that either one selves. They claim that the perfect elas- ticity of their product, together with their three-poitn radial expansion, insures an even distribution of pres- sure, secured by no other ring, and that they can be installed and suc- | ders. . ceasfully used in out-of-round cylin- or two points can possibly seat them | | | } ' | ' | i The right-angle interlock provides a Square seat and an absolutely non-. collapsible ring with a amount of friction, which guarantees L@sainst wastage of power and fuel. | ' An interesting little booklet, enti- | tled “The Piston Ring Primer,” got- | ten out by The Ever Tight Piston minimum | Ring Co. of St. Louis, Mo., will gladly | be sent to anyone upon request.

In January and February when the streets were bur- ied in ice and snow, horse-drawn vehicles were hopelessly stalled. And they helped to tie up all other traffic. Trucks alone weathered the storm. They helped to clear the streets, and they kept business going. Now, as hot weather approaches, horse-hawling will again demon- strate that it is inadequate, expensive and too slow and an obstruc- ties! to modern traffic demands. Horses have to slow up in hot weather. If your goods are drawn by horses, it means slower serv- ice, frequent calls for relief, higher hauling costs. And it means more men, when men are searce. You pit your hauling on an efficiency basis by adopting : Gramm-Bernstein Trucks They are not affected by weather conditions. In heat or cold, they can be depended upon for continuous service. They save money by saving men, by greater mileage and greater tonnage per dollar of in- vestment, and by ‘‘on-time’’ hauliig service.

This explains why Marty Kavanagh, a Detroit and Cleveland has bee, ac- counted for the tying and winning runs which yesterday gave the Car- dinals their second straight deci- sion over the dormant Dodgers. The final count was 7 to 6. Kavanagh, recentiy found want- | ing by Cleveland, was given’ the freedom of the land and told to go his uncertain way. The Cardinals, however, hooked on to Marty; for any ball player with a pair of hands, ditto feet and eyes, is in keen de- mand by the Knothole organization, right now. Hence, Kavanagh re- ported yesterday and donned his Cardinal spangles for the first time, going to right field. Turning into the eight, the Dodg- ers were leading, 4 to 3.

Paskert’s timely double with two men on and two out tied the count in the third and Deal’s triple put the locals ahead. Tyler tightened up after that and the visitors were un- able to score. Jess Barnes, who opened for the visitors and who left tonight for his home to join the national army, was forced to retire in the first in- ning. Demaree did not fare much better and gave way to Causey. The vests 1/Flack rf. O!Holicher ss. OiMann If ... O\ Merkle Ib 0 ort ac , 0!

The first local run accrued in the initial inning, when Baird walked, stole second and came over on Cruise’s single. Again in the third, Baird tripled and tallied when Olson booted Cruise's roller. In the fifth Baird singled, stole second and third and again Cruise drove him across with a single to center. Olson's fumble off Hornsby’'s grounder and Kavanagh's double ac- counted for the fourth local tally in the eighth and then the fitful wes as recounted above. Princeton Wins Track Meet From Harvard and Yale Tigers Take Seven Firsts—Rich- ard Cleveland Captures Two-Mile Race. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 25. Princeton came through victor in the triangular track meet today between Harvard, Princetow and Yale, with a score of 49 1-3 points. Yale finished second, with 41 2-3, and Harvard third with 13 points. Princeton took a commanding lead by capturing all places in the high and low hurdles and although Yale took a majority of firsts in the field events and broke even in the others, the blue was un- able to overcome tnis lead. Prince- ton took seven firsts, Yale five and Harvard one. Richard Cleveland of Princeton, son of the late President Cleveland, won the shot-put 39 feet 81% inches. E. B. Fisher of Yale had an easy vic- tory in the -mile run, covering the distance in 4 minutes 36 3-5 seconds. This was the first time that the three institutions had met: in a triangular meet.

(Ted) Meredith, the former University of Pennsylvania Athlete, expressed fear tonight lest he be the Lieutenant aviator, J. J. Meredith, “address unknown,” who was among the four of the Ameri- can army officers and 26 enlisted men reported missing and Known to be prisoners in Germany. Meredith, who was one of the world's greatest middle distance run- ners, has been in France since last fall. In 1916, Meredith set new world's inter-collegiate records for the half and quarter mile events in the inter- collegiates at Cambridge. He rep- resented America in the Olympic games at Stockholm, Sweden; the same year. : MICHIGAN TRACK TEAM WINNER OVER CHICAGO CHICAGO, May 25.—After a lapse of 13 years in the relations of the two schools, Michigan came back to the University of Chicago and romped away with the track meet by the score of &7 to 48 today. Johnson of Michig@®n, was the star of the meet, winning four firsts for Michigan and tying for one. He won the 100-yard dash, high and low hur- dies, broad inump and tied for first in the running high jump. Stewart, second: Time, YEATMAN DEFEATS: MTKINLEY, 9 10 3, AND GOES TO LEA North Siders Knock Southpaw Fries Out of Box and Win by Score of 9 to 3. CLEVELAND EASY VICTOR Placke Allows Six Hits and Goes Over by 9-3 in High School League Game. Yeatman High School yesterday went into first place in the Inter- scholastic League by defeating Mc- Kinley*in the opening and feature game, 9 to 3. The game was called in the seventh inning with Yeatman having one in and two out, with the tally 10—5. However, as the round was not completed, the contest re- verts back to the sixth frame. The clash was called because of the 4 o'clock rule of the league. In the closing encounter, Cleveland trounced Soldan, 19—3. Yeatman now has a record of five victories against two defeats, while McKinley has won four out of six starts: It is the first time this year that the South Siders have been out of the lead. The North Siders also accomplished the feat of knocking Bill Fries, the McKinley southpaw, off the hill for the first time this campaign. Prior to yesterday’s battle the lefthander had hurled sensational ball. Against Yeatman, however, he was batted hard, while he also was wild. Walter Roettger for the winners pitched steady ball. McKinley First to Score. McKinley was the first to score, putting over three runs after two were out on two hits, a base on balls and a three-base error by Roett- ger. Yeatman came right back with two and added four more in the sec- ond, when Shanley hit a home run with the bases full. Another run came for Yeatman in the sixth. In the second battle Placke pitched |good ball for Cleveland, holding Sol- Gorgas of Chicago, won the shot- | put and discus. McToch, took the mile and half mile runs. Feurstein, Chicago star, man, was kept out of the meet by an injured tendon. ~_ - * nN Ss, distance | Chicago, | | dan to six safeties, while he was backed up in good style by his mates.

The Cardinals may consider them- selves exceptionally fortunate in having made away with yesterday’s matinee. Brooklyn hammered May for 12 hits and counting the two they made off Meadows, amassed a total of 14 safeties during the after- noon. Added to this was the fact that the Cardinals turned five errors, which was some handicap to over- come. The Robins hit safely in every inning, but May stuck to it and emerged with just two earned runs counted against him. Just to keep pace with the trend of thetimes, the Cardinals nicked 11 safeties, drew five walks and had four stolen bases to their credit. It was anything but a classy ex- hibition of the national pastime. The third game of the series will be staged this afternoon, the game to be called at 3 o'clock. Leon Ames is almost certain to toil for the Cardinals, while Rob- inson may show Jack Cooms, vet- eran who recently blanked the Cubs despite an injured wrist. Giants After Hornsby. There was a report current around Cardinal Field yesterday that the New York Giants had entered a bid of two players and cash for Hornsby. It was un- confirmed, however, and in view of Hendricks’ recent statement about Hornsby remaining, prob- ably will not be considered. Cuban Joins Cards. Oscar Tuero, the dimiinutive Cuban righthander, rejoined the Cardinals yesterday after a sev- eral weeks’ sojourn in the South- ern Association. He will be given an early chance to show, as Meadows looked like anything but himself yesterday, —_ ~~.

One hour was consumed yesterday in playing the first three innings and the entire game lasted two hours and 28 min- utes.

He expects to hit the road again next week. - SCHOLZ SETS NEW 100- YARD RECORD | IN VALLEY EVENT St. Louis Boy Negotiates Cen- tury Dash in 9 4-5 Seconds, _ Running Against Wind.

Nelson, associate direc- tor of the Four-Minute-Men of the Tnited States, in a 50-minute lunch- eon talk at the Annex Hotel, brim- ming over with timely and humor, ous suggestions of how to hold the attention of a motion pieture audi- ence. Prof. Nelson, as he explained it himself, just stopped over in &t. Louis ‘Thursday, preparatory ‘to plunging into the wilderness of the West,” and not because the Four- Minute Men needed “pep” injected into them. He is a field instructor for Four-Minute-Men and as such has traveled through 21 states and “talked to more four-minute spcak- ers than any living man.” Prof. Nelson was a teacher of English and public speaking at Chicago Univer- sity before engaging in Government work. ‘ Gets Down to Business. ? Practicing what he later preached to the four-minute men, Prof. Nel- son jumped right into his subject, so to speak, without the aid of an introduction, which, he explained, spoiled many a good four-minute speech. Illustrating the vital need for four-minute speakers, he said: ““We have got to have between 80 and 90 per cent of the people with us if we are to have “force to the utmost, force without stint.’ It has been estimated that there are about 6,000,000% illiterate persons in the country. Add to those those who don’t read English, and to this those who read only headlines, sporting sheets, murders and divorce cases, And you have a large proportion of our population. - “You call a large patriotic mass meeting and have national speakers to address it. What is the result? You get possibly 5000 persons to- gether out of a 500,000 population. “For every one that comes, 509 siay at home—inactive, passive, but each eating wheat bread, bacon and sugar, and all with sons in service. What's the solution? The four-min- ute speakers. Each night between er,in the movie shows of the United States. It’s the great democratic meeting place of the American peo- ple—the most effective platform frem which to appeal to the citizens of the country.”’ his waste ideas. Hither you put them in it or the audience does it for you. Search for good expressions—elimi- nate the trite. The expression, ‘Good :ed-blooded Americans’ was all right | stale now. Don't use it. | “Watch your audience when it} leaves——it’s a liberal education. It’s! not the speech you can remember | but the one you can’t forget that) counts. “Put sand burrs into your talk, ideas that stick to the brain. Ora-| tory is the biggest danger to four- minute speaking. Talk straight to them—man to man, with push, pull and earnestness, so that you reach the last man in the audience. In a! word, stick to your time, stick to ryour subject and stick to the job. Uses of Minute Men. ‘If there were no four-minute men the Government would put over the Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns, because it is sufficiently organized to do it, but Washington depends on the four-minute men for all other propaganda. Yonder on) the seaboard is Washington, 3000 | miles beyond are the trenches, and | 3000 miles back are the people. | Washington isn’t so much worried | about the men over there as she is} about those over here. The soldiers | must obey the orders, but she isn’t | sure of the 90 per cent support of) the people at home, and it is up to, you to keep the nation up to the | point of supporting the Govern-| ment.”’ Prof. Nelson conducted a school | for four-minute men during the aft-.| ernoon in the office of L. L. Leon- | ard, State chairman, in the Rialto Building. The recitations were the. speeches of the four-minute men as | they have been delivering them to) the public. 3 | The schoolmaster did not spare the rod and picked from the speeches concrete illustrations of the general criticisms he had made in his luncheon talk. Incidentally he delivered a maxim, which he said was the gospel of speakers whether they be orators or just speakers. “All that public speakers know.’ he said, “is con- tained in the speech of Mare Antony at the bier of Caesar. All that pub- lig speakers ought not to know or use tis contained in the speech of Brutus that preceded it. Marc An- tony never was I, he was: always we.” The School Teacher Rod. How to Attract Public. Prof. Nelson then told of the fur- ther difficulties in getting the atten- tion of the public and some of the devices resorted to. “Why we have to ‘Mary Pickford’ and ‘Charley Chaplin’ them to get them out,” he said, “but they’ve got to listen to }ou in the picture shows before they | can get out. “In Massachusetts they tried this gan and it worked just once in-each town. The Fire. Department was started at one end of the town and. tearing through the main streets, fol- lowed by crowds of people, stopped in the central square. Whereupon a speaker would arise from the maize of Jadders and say to the assembled people: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a false alarm. the world is on fire!’”’ . Further tndicating the extensive fieid of the four-minute man. Prof. Nelson told is experience: “I recent!™ rode 600 miles—30 each: way—to a certain town to speak to what was heralded as ‘a large patriotic mass meeting.’ I spoke to 60 people, while the four- minute man, one block away, spoke to 1200 persons in a movie show. He traveled one mile from his home and spoke to 1200 persons, the work I traveled 600 miles and spoke to 60 persons, occupying 36 hours of my time. This illus- trates the vast opportunity of the four-minute men in speaking to ready-made audiences." Rules for Speakers. -Prof. Nelson -then laid down the il- lustrating some with humorous ex- planations of what to avoid. “The first thing you must do is to éliminate the 14-minute speaker,” he said. “‘We had to let out 560 in Chicago, because they said it took them 10 minutes to get warmed up. There is no excuse for warming up‘ on the audience when there is a good alley in back of the show. “The only safe thing is to observe the time limit. Get rid of your intro- duction—it isn't necessary and has spoiled many a talk. Don't start out this way: ‘I don’t know why I was picked out tg deliver this speech The audience will im- mediately agree with you and your Don't begin this evening 1 told my wife I was. going “Ther what does make a good in- troduction? It should be like the ad- vertisements——the first sentence nt to hear & restiess and more. if an audience bs coming in and going out, try this If there ~* Alarm Clock Methods.

Nelson brushed the finger aside. “You're not catechising your audi- ence. Get friendly with them,’ he said. The next pupil was a physician. He threw on all.the tremulo stops from the first word. His voice dripped tears. A frown came over the schoolmaster’s face. When the physician finished, Nel- son looked at his watch. “Didn't use all your time—three minutes, 32 seconds,” he said. “I’ve been criticised on that speech, for going overtime,” the physician said, ‘‘but it was the fre- quent applause that did it.’’ He had used the expression—‘‘For God's sake, wake up.” and Nelson ignored athe tremulo stops to ‘nail that one. ‘“‘Don’t scold your audi- ence,”” he said. “Anybody hates to be scolded about the things they haven’t done. If you have to scold, scold somebody who isn’t there. Scold the.man from East St. Louis.” The next speaker gave notice that he was going to deliver a speech. He fixed his tie and shook his shoul- ders as he took his stand near the window. When he opened his mouth, his voice was unnatural and in grandilequent manner he rid him- self of his committed effort. “You were saying to yourself all along, ‘I am making a speech,’”’ Nelson said. ‘‘Here, get over near me, take that chair. Now ask me to contribute to the Red Cross.” The speaker did so. “Why should I subscribe to the Red Cross?’’ Nelson demanded, and the speaker delivered his answer in simple style. ' How “It” Is Done Right. “Good,” snapped Nelson. “Now ask the man across the street, in that building, to subscribe for the Red Cross, and tell him why he should. The speaker did. His speechmak- ing had vanished. He was talking straight from the shoulder. “Fine,” Nelson said, and then closed his session with a few ways in which he himself prepares a' speech. “I go down to my cellar) and think at the end of my tongue,” | he said. “I think out loud over and ' over again until I have said every- | thing that I find worth saying ready to be said. “Don't work for applause,”’ he | contigued. “That is cheap.

Some of the crazy men howled like dogs. But we were not as much afraid of these as we were of the others who kept still, but slipped around in the dark with lumps of coal in their hands” $3 ss CONTINUED FROM LAST SUNDAY HEY had a coolie crew on the Yarrowdale, and when they routed them on deck, the coolies began to pray, and though it is nothing to laugh at, I could not help but chuckle at the Way some of them went about talking to their various gods. They were beginning to smell danger and were pretty nervous. Every one of the coolies had a cane and a pair of palm beach trousers. The Huns were loading them in the lifeboats to be taken back to the Moewe with their sea bags, and one of them got too nervous and was slow about getting into the lifeboat, so the Germans shot him without saying a word. Then the Germans called out the names of those who had volunteered to go stoking, and this included me. We were drilled down the fiddley into the fireroom. The fiddley is a shaft that runs from the main deck of a ship to the engine room. I looked around a bit and saw a German standing not very far from the fiddley, so I asked him if we would be given shoes. He said no. Then | aske@ him if we had to fire in our bare feet and he said/ves—that we did not need shoes. Then he went into the engine room. , I looked at the nar row passage he went through, and at the narrow passage of the fiddley to the main deck, and I talked to my feet like I used to at Dixmude. I said’ “Feet, do your duty.” They did it, and I flew up the fiddley. I never wanted to see that stoke hole again. I sneaked up to where the rest of the fellows were and the guards drilléd us into No. 4 hold. There was nothing but am- munition init. They battened the hatches down on us, which made the hold water- proof. And as that made it practically airtight, the only air the 580 of us got was through the _ ventila- tors. That hold was certainly foul. The next day some of the men had got cigarettes somewhere. Lord knows how they did it, but Mallen had quite a lot of them. Some of the men would not take any of his because they said they had some of their own, and sure enough, in a few minutes they, as well as the rest, had lit up and were puffing away in great style. I divided a cigarette with another fellow. Remem- ber we were sitting and standing on am- munition all this time. It shows how much we cared whether school kept or not. The Germans saw smoke coming out of the ventilators, and they were crazy with fright. A gang of them laid below and rousted us out with whips. Mallen and I were toward the head of the line PAGE TWO : > La ‘ — “| q ee a il “i | Vith Gunner Depew on the Arrival at a German Deke s, % 2 # going up the ladder and Mallen was swearing because he had just lost his monocle and could hardly see a foot in front of him. He said a sentry had tripped him or knocked him down, and that when he got up his monocle was gone. They lined us up on deck and read us the riot act. As we stood there I could see one man after another put his hands behind his back and theh bring them to the front again. Finally, the fellow next to me nudged me with his elbow. I put my hands behind my back and he slipped something into them, and I passed it to the next man. Then the first thing I knew there was Mallen with his monocle in his eye again. Somebody: had found it and brought it up With him, and we had passed it along almost the whole line before it got to Mallen. They drilled us down into the coal bunkers. It was simply hell there. Coal dust to breathe and eat and sleep on, only we could not sleep because we had to use the coal bunkers for all pur- poses, including that of the toilet, and after a short time not one of us could sleep. Also, by this time, some of the men had lost their heads completely; in fact, had gone violently crazy, and the rest of us were afraid of them. We were all thinking of the fight that might occur at any moment be- tween the Yarrowdale and some other vessel and we were in the likeliest place for the vessel to be struck. Even though not hit amidships, if the ship were sinking, we did not think the Germans would give us a chance to escape. We figured from what they had said that we would go down with the ship. And going down on a ship in which you are a prisoner is quite different from going down with one for which you have been fighting. the feeling is different. f / BERDANIFEN When they got in the bar- racks the sentries made fhem put the bread down ne on the floor and then, ‘ Visesantt | with their bayonets the | nly a nag ; .sentries cut each loaf once down the center lengthwise and four times across, L 4 Pas aa ities pS. | nye BAY arrowdale an You arrive at the same place, but up the fiddley and opened the door. . 7! \ . 4 dat Sue. me re ’ ; "eal ; | “ hg Po ei Sik: ate. ; a alas rison Camp ~~ = There was a German sentry there, and Harrington made a swing at him and then grabbed his bayonet. Some of us thought of overpowering the crew and taking the vessel into our own bands, and we got the rest of the sane or nearly sane men together and tried to get up a scheme for doing it. I was strong for the plan and so were Mallen and several others, but the Limey officers who were with us advised against it. They said the Germans were taking us to a neutral country, where we would be interned, which was just what the Germans had told us, but what few of us believed. Then some others said that if we started anything the Germans would fire the time bombs. We replied that at least the Germans would go West with us, but they could not see that there was any glory in that. For myself, I thought the Germans would not fire the bembs until the last minute, and that we would have a chance at the boats before they got all of us any- way. Old Mallen put up quite a talk about it, and it was funny to see him sitting there on the coal, with his monocle slipping out of his eye every once in a while, arguing that we would all have an equal chance of getting away, even if many of us did go West. There were only 13 German sailors on board, besides their commander. This last Hun was named Badewitz. So the pacifists ruled, because we could not do any- thing unless we were all together, and there was no mutiny. They said we were hotheads, the rest of us, but I still think we could have made a dash for it and . overpowered our sentries, and either gone over the side with the lifeboats or taken over the whole ship. It would have been better for us if we had tried, and if the pacifists had known what was coming to us they would have fired the time bombs themselves rather than go on into that future. However, that is spilt milk. We were not allowed to open the portholes while we were in the bunkers, under penalty of death, and there in the dark, in that stinking air, it is no wonder many of us went crazy. Among us was a fellow named Har- rington, about six feet tall and weighing around 250 pernds. He seemed to be all right mentally, but some of 1s thought afterwards he was crazy. Anyway, I do not blame him for what he did. Harrington rushed There was a Jooman sentry there, and Harrington made a swing at him and then grabbed his bayonet. The sentry ye}ied and some others came down from the bridge and shot Harrington through the hand. After they. had beaten Harrington pretty badly, the bull of the bunch, Baéewitz himself, came over and hammered Harring- ton all around the deck. Then they put him in irons anl took him to the chart room. The next day we were sitting in the fiddley getting warm when the door opened and there was Badewitz. He yelled ‘“‘Heraus!”’ and began firing at us with a revolver, so we beat it back onto the coal. The others. would not go back after this, but Mallen and I did. We had sat there about three-quarters of an hour when Mallen lost his monocle. It fell all the way down to the stokehole, and I thought for sure it was gone (Continued on Page 13.)

Its ruins still bear the name of Pervyse. Probably you have never heard it before. But now it has been lifted from obscurity through the intrepidity of two British hero- ines, upon whom the allied armies have conferred the glorious nickname of “The Fearless W®6men of Per- vyse.”’ In the autumn of 1914, not long after the outbreak of the war, these two women determined that they must do their bit in the conflict." One of them was the Baroness T’Serclaes, young English wife of a Belgian officer. The other was Miss Mairi Chisholm, who today is only 22 years old. The former's marriage suggested that their help should be given to the Bel- gians. : By that-time most of the little kingdom lay under the heel of the despoiler. Fortress after fortress had fallen, city after city had been given to the flames. The dauntless remnant of the Belgian armies, driven back foot by foot through the pressure of overwhelm- ing numbers, had at last come to a stand on a line running south from. Nieuport through Dixmude and joining up with the British army near Ypres. They had opened the dikes and let the waters of the sea in to create a salt swamp between themselves and the Germans. There they stood, the last symbol of the inde- pendence and honor of Belgium, their country pillaged and devasted, their wives and children in slavery. They themselves were lacking in much, particularly in medical supplies and re- sources. Their heroism and their plight made a compelling appeal to the- two British women. The nearest base hospital was 10 miles west_of the line. So they decided to establish an emer- gency surgical dugout at Pervyse. It can be imagined what diffieulties they had to overcome, for the allied commanders have always set a stern face against the presence of women near the firing line. Yet their audacious plan was nothing less than that of establishing themselves at a point only 500 yards from the German front line trenches! And their purpose was not only that of caring for the wounded men brought to them, but of going out on the shell- swept roads to gather up the injured. Their resolution eventually carried ail before it, however, and soon they were in possession of a dugout. It was made of concrete, with an operating room, a kitchen and two bunks, one above the other, for sleeping. They took with them a store of first-aid appliances, a two-seated motor cycle and an automobile. Neither was a trained nurse, but Miss Chisholm was an expert motor driver. It was not long until the dugout at Pervyse be- came famous all along the -Belgian line as a haven of rescue and tender care. The word was spread of how these two women—the only ones on the allied side who have worked and lived di- rectly at the front—had taken possession of their concrete dugout and turned it into a statfon where wounded men could get immediate emer- - gency treatment, instead of the long delay that would have been necessary before they could be taken back to the base hospital. The Belgian officers were glad to co-operate with them. When it was possible wounded men were carried by their comrades to the dugout. But not infrequently it was impossible to spare carriers, so-telephone messages would come stat- ing that injured men were lying at certain places on the road. Then Miss Chisholm would saliy forth in her automobile or motor cycle and drive, SUNDAY Baroness T’Serclaes and Miss Mairi Chisholm, recovering from gas in London hospital, are idols of En- “gland — Spent three and a half years in dugout behind Belgian lines, within 500 yards of German trenches — Their shelter hit 100 times by shells, but day and night they tended wounded and prepared dead for burial — Decorated for valor bv King Albert -:- -:- like the fearless girl she is, through the heaviest shell fire without flinching. Once, indeed, the car she was driving was smashed by a shell, but she was not hurt. At first they had no assistance, but did all their work single-handed. In addition to constant peril, their tasks were the heaviest of toil. The station must be kept open day or night; one could not tell at what hour a wounded man might be brought in, to whom immediate care might mean the difference between life and death. The young women often slept in their clothes, so as to be ready in an instant should help be needed.

Their fare was the soldier’s ordinary ration—bully beef and the rest: and they wore a soldier's garb—steel helmet, khaki coat and trousers and heavy leather boots. ‘ As the fame of their work spread in England, hun- dreds of other women petitioned the authorities for permission to go to Pervyse and help, but were always refused. The officials would not permit a third wom- an to live in the village, but they did nothing to inter- fere with the two already there, and no attempt was made to send them back home. In fact, they were eventually supplied with a doctor, two stretcher bear- ers and a chanffeur, all men. ne The Baroness and her companion not only cared for the wounded. They also treated various ailments suffered by the men, and occasionally had a task to try the stoutest nerves. This was when some-poor wretch died in the dugout despite their attendance. More than once they have prepared the body of a dead soldief for burial, laid it in a coffin and nailed the lid wn so that it might be taken to the cemetery at the base. | “We had to do hard things,” they say, “but then the men were doing harder things for us.’’ It would be strange if a station so near the German lines were not sometimes hit by artillery fire. In truth, it appears that the Germans had learned of the presence of the “angels of mercy,” and, with their usual chivalry, had made especial efforts to wipe out their dugout. At least it would seem so, for the stae .ion suffered no less than 100 direct hits by shells, But it was so deep down and the concrete walls were so thick that no great damage was dona, and the women escaped injury—no thanks to the Hun. This life continued for three and a half years, Think of it! Three and a half years, 42 months, some 1275 days, spent under constant shell fire, while the stream of wounded and dying men con- tinually poured through the station, while the hardest and most afflicting tasks confronted them day and night, while they were always sur- , rounded by anguish and death—and they the only women in a radius of several miles! No wonder that the King of the Belgians con- ferred upon them the highest honors, and that there was coined for them that splendid phrase, “The Fearless Women of Pervyse”’! The wonder is that for so long they escaped death themselves and even injury, for they were literally at the front, the shells roared over them day by day, and the Germans made especial efforts to destroy their station. That they kept up their spirits was due partly to their mascot, a lively and affectionate little black and white terrier, of no especial breed, which they called “Shot.” This four-legged friend was the partaker of their trials and dan- gers, and enlivened them in the gloomiest hours by his play and caresses. They went through many gas attacks, but al- ways some officer would warn them by tele- phone and they would have time to put on their gas masks. That is, up to March 17 last. “Early on that morning,” the Baroness relates, “the firing was so heavy that I got out of my bunk and said to Miss Chisholm: ‘We had bet- ter dress; there are sure to be wounded.’ The shelling was more dreadful than anything we. had ever known, although we were accustomed to bombardment. I suppose in all our dugout must have been hit 100 times. “While dressing I heard a shell burst outside the station, and a moment later I found Gabriel, our soldier orderly, lyimg on the floor. I rushed up to see if he were wounded, when suddenly I felt as if a rope had been drawn tight around my throat. . “Tf could not breathe and was utterly helpless, (Continued on Page 4.) PAGE THREE

Behind the station ix a fence. To this fence rode Judith, just as the town clock struck 10. She climbed laboriously off the horse's back and tied him to the fence, by a knot possible only to woman. She walked up and down the platform, waiting for the banker, Starling. Not until the Chicago train had. gone without him would she go. She had determined to see him that Right; if he did not come to the train, she would go the house; but she was fully: persuaded by some mysterious and feminine intuition that Star- ling meant to fly. The half-hour struck. “It’s getting dretful late and unseemly,” groaned the old wife, who had not been out alone at night for 20 years, “but I cayn’t help it.” A lantern flickered at the corner of the village street, the ticket agent was coming to the station. From the opposite direction came someone else. Two strides placed her in front of this man as he mounted the platform, a slight, well-dressed man, with a neat traveling bag in his hand. He had observed Judith’'s . “grotesque antics already. “Mad'” was his decision, perhaps, for he started nervously and tried to edge by. “Mr. Starling,” spoke the old woman in her quaver- ing sweet pipe, “Mr. Starling, my husband tried to get cur money from you this afternoon, and you wouldn't give it to him; will you please give it to me?” “Why, Mrs. Crest, I didn’t recognize you,” claimed the banker, smoothing his brow; ‘‘yes, Mr. Crest came after the bank was closed; if you will go there tomorrow morning at 9 it will be all right.” “I want it now, I got to have it now!"’ She had slipped her hand in her little black bag. “But, my dear madam, I haven’t got it with me. I don't carry the bank in my pocket.”’ “I tell you I got to have my money. You shan’t carry it away. Oh, for the Lord’s sake, be merciful to us, Mr. Starling; it’s everything Joshua and me has saved, working hard for 30 years!. We'll lose our farm if we don't have it!” Her voice rose shrilly, and there were people back on the platform now. “You fool! I haven't got it,’ he snarled, pushing her aside. He could hear the whistle of the approachifg train; it was stopping at. Delmar, five miles away. Instead of recoiling, she flung herself on him, and simultaneously he felt the icy rim of a revolver at his ear. “Then God have mercy on your wicked soul, for you are a dead man,” cried Judith Crest. “I give you time for one prayer—unless’ you move’’- He could see her face set in a ghastly fixity of despair and resolve, the pistol was cold as the grave; worse, there was a hideous wriggle about the thing, as if the desperate ptreature's hand trembled—what if her finger slipped! He rolled his eyes at her; he did not venture to move his head. “Why can’t you wait a minute? Where's your check?” “Never mind my check. “Wait!” he cried frantically. “Suppose I give you the money. How much is it?” “It's six thousand two hun’’—— “Well, take that infernal thing off my head and I vill get it for you.’ ex- I cayn’t wait.” é A “1IUVM ONIN XXX YURBLAVHO JAIT suo7q re Bi " PDT I nage aS SE of bal atte Pare. 2 Spires ier bK ge ee Per RM ae en enh t.

Take the money out and count it and put it in my bag.” Starling could see the distant headlight of the train. He ground an oath between his teeth, but he pulled out his pocketbook. “Walk along nearer the light or strike a match on your pants; I cayn’t see the bills,”’ the relentless, quav- ering old voice went on. He did light a match, for the desire to get away on that swiftly nearing train over- mastered everything else. She hitched her bag further down her wrist and so held first one then another match, until he had counted out the sum. Six thou- sand one hundred and fifty—silver certificates; yes, they’re good. There had ought to be $2 more— The buzz and rumble of the train was heard more distinctly. Starling tore a $5 note from a wad of bank notes and threw it at her. “Now will you let me go?’ “I guess I ain't got no right to keep you. I ain't got no change, but I'll send it to Mis’ Starling. Hold your hands in front of you and you can run.” Five minutes later, Myron Dwight could not believe his eyes when he saw Judith weeping on the platform. “OQ, Myron,” she sobbed, “I tied the colt up so tight I ecayn’t untie him, and I am so frightened!” Joshua did ‘not discover his wife’s absence in the morning. He supposed she was out in ber garden, and h« ate the breakfast that she had made ready and hur- ried away through the usual exit of the kitchen door without suspicion. He was one of the first to file into Starling’s bank that morning. The young man at the desk looked at him, and then retired for consultation with the other young man. “I ain't going to keep up the farce any longer,” said the other young man. ‘Mr. Crest, we haven’t got $600 in the vault.” That was the reason why Starling’s bank closed its doors earlier than the fugitive had anticipated. Joshua did not speak a word. He nodded to some men that he knew, and went out, not quite steadily, tu his wagon. Myron and his own wife were there. Joshua did not seem surprised. ‘Mother,’ said he in a dry, clear tone, “I’ve lost all that money.” “No, no you ain’t father,” said Judith. “I got it here.” “She met Starling at the depot, and somehow, she won't tell me how, she got him to give her back the money.” This was Myron,. who remained in a be- wildered state of mind, having considerately put Judith to bed at the hotef withont agitating her by questions. “But, mother, you hadn't got no check; how could you git the money?” said Joshua. Judith was sobbing: “Oh, I guess you won't be able to forgive me. I didn’t have no check; I made him give me the money’’—— She had been taking the notes out of her bag; Myron put in his fingers and drew out the pistol. “Ah-h,” he exclaimed, “I perceive. Why, Judith, you dear little highwayman!” No one else knows of it, no one else would believe if he did know; Mrs. Crest is such a harmless, timid woman; but Myron Dwight, now prospering and help- ing Joshua to prosper, keeps the pistol in his drawer as a memento. No one else but he knows another in- teresting fact—that pistol was not loaded! (Copyrtgnt.) Aunt el (Continued from Page 13.) About 2:30 the whistle blew again, and the Huns picked out a few men and took them down the road. We could not figure out why, but they came back about 3 o'clock, all of them with bread in their arms. They were chewing away at it when they had a chance. Whenever the gentries were not looking they would bite at it like fish going after a worm. Each man carried five loaves. When they got in the barracks the sen- tries made them put the bread down on the floor, and then, with their bayonets, the sentries cut each loaf once down the center lengthwise and four times across, which meant 10 men to a loaf about the size of an ordinary 10-cent loaf in this eountry now. They gave each of us a piece a little larger than a safety-match box. The bread was hard and dark, and lI really think they made it from trees. It had just exactly the same smell that the dirt around trees has. Malien called it mud as soon as he tried it, and that was the name we had for it after that.

It was a revelation to most people. But dyestuffs are only one of a multitude of victo- ries which American chemists have won since our country took its place in the war. In an address de- lMvered by Prof. 8S. W. Parr of the University of Illi- nois before the Society of Sigma Pi, University of lowa, and published in Science, a splendid idea of the amazing triumphs of our chemists, and of their stupendous importance to the industries of America is given. Three years ago we were being warned that the for- eign dyes would soon be exhausted, that none were made in America, that the men would have to wear white socks and neckties to match, and that gayly colored ribbons and dress patterns for the ladies would have to be forgotten. There were then only about six firms in this coun- try engaged in manufacturing or importing dyestuffs. We were importing these for more than $10,000,000 a year. Today there are 130 corporations actively engaged in the dye manufacturing: business, with a capital approximating $160,000,000. We are macing enough dyes for our own use, and we are exporting them at an average rate of more than $1,000,000 a month. Last year Great Britain alone bought $3,000,- 000 of our dyes. The one exception to our catching up to the home demand is that of indigo blue, which the navy needs in such large quantities that there is little left for the general trade. The kbaki uniform cloth of the American army is dyed with a product of the wood of the osage orange, perfected by a pupil of Prof. Parr’s ina Government laboratory. High explosives is for us an entirely AS UNE to make use of the products of cement furnaces, green sand and felspar. Potash has been used largely in glass making. Soda has been tried as a substitute, and now the chemist of one large glassmaker in the country says they are so pleased with the result that “they would not re- turn to the use @f potash even should it become again. available.” Sodium cyanide has been substituted for potassium cyanide in gold working, and is found to be better and far cheaper. In all metallurgy, from gold to steel, the graphite crucible is essential. It was made from a special clay only to be found in Germany. One year after the war began the whole stock was exhausted. But a vigor- ous search for substitutes was going on, and today crucibles of American clay are being made, the superi- ority of which over the German can be guaranteed. All the glass for telescopes, field glasses, cameras and range finders came from Jena, except for the out- put of one French and one British factory.. The war kept all of this at home. “The problem was taken up by the United States Government laboratories, and by scientific calculations and deductions, coupled with skillful experimentation, they are now able, after 10 months, to produce not. only a better but a greater variety of optical glass than the Germans -had been able to produce in 10 years.” Nitrates are necessary for making all our explosives —nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, trinitrotoluol, trinitro- phenal—also for fertilizers and ammonia and sgalt- peter for household and manufacturing uses. All the nitrates came from Chili. But four-fifths of the air new industry. Before the war the Amer- ican product was insignificant; today it approximates 2,000,000,000 pounds a year. The explosives are made from glycerine, phenol and toluol, but the greatest of these is toluol. All are products of coal. From the coke ovens we get about 10,000,- 000 gallons of toluol, only a quarter of the quantity needed for our own army. To meet the demand, the city gas is being stripped of this material. “It can be spared without any great detriment to the gas, and amounts to approximately .04 of a foot per each 1000 feet of gas. Ten of the largest cities of the country where this process is to be first installed are jio™~ estimated to yield approximately an ad- ditional 10,000,000 gallons.” For every gallon of toluol five or six gallons of benzol are produced. “But benzol has now come to be the starting point for the manufacture of carbolic acid, and carbolic acid, or phenol, is the starting point -for picric acid, another explosive, and also for the manufacture of Bake- lite, which has almost completely replaced. gutta percha in electrical appliances, and then, com- ing nearer home, it is Bakelite which furnishes the material for the manufacture of phonographic records. One more possible adaptation of ben- zol is of interest. It is miscible in all proportions with alcohol, and when so mixed furnishes a motor spirit in some respects superior to gasoline.” In 1915 we made less than 1000 tons of potash. The output for the present year will exceed 40,000 tons. But even this is not enough, for we used to import 275,000 tons a year from Germany. The brines of Nebraska and California are now the largest source of supply. The kelps of the Pacific coast are being developed; the alunite deposits of Utah look promising; and chemists are just beginning PAGE FOUR SUNDAY MAGAZINE--—ST. is nitrogen, so we have at leastathe raw material. “As a protective measure, while we are doing our thinking, the Government is spending $35,000,000 on reserve supplies from Chili. But already Prof. Bucher of Brown University, and the chemist of the General Chemical Co., each along separate lines, have developed successful processes for the manufacture of ammonia, the present most effective starting point for the man- ufacture of nitrates and nitric acid, so that already work has begun on the establishment of a plant at Sheffield, Ala., capable of producing 60,000 pounds of ammonia per day. Germany, of course, has been doing her own developing, for it is assumed that she did not have a stored-up supply of Chile saltpeter suf- ficient for more than about a year.

We always made it in large quantity, but the pro- duction for the year 1917 was more than 600,000 tons greater than for 1916, and amounted to 5,500,000 tons, To stand up under the action of these powerful acids, especially in the manufacture of these enormous quan- tities of explosives, a new material was needed. Even before the war toy samples of acid-resisting metals were familiar to chemists, but today apparatus is made of the substances variously known as “duiron,” ‘“‘tant- iron” and ‘“buflocast,” etc., so large in some cases that a coach and four could almost be housed in them. Magnesite, an essential for high temperature fur- nace linings, formerly all imported from Austria and Hungary, is now-made in California and Washington, Then there are such rare chemicals as dimethyglox- ene, an indispensable reagent for analytical work with nickel steels; there are photographic materials of many kinds; remedial agents and synthetic drugs such as novocaine, a local anesthetic of great value; there are thermometers and graduated wares, glassware and porcelain, all of which were imported from Germany but which our chemists have succeeded in perfecting until the American product is at least the equal, and often the superior, of the German. “The chemists of the country seem to have been awake at the switch, and I think we must agree that they have been singularly effective in their work,” said Prof. Parr. “Yours is not the glamour of the pomp and circumstances of war, but you have the goods, and your quiet and steadfast continuance in the work of scientific development has in it the very essence of patriotism.” “The F earless Women of Pervyse” (Continued From Page 3.) Miss Chisholm was rolling on the floor. My little dog, ‘Shot,’ which had been with us tor three years, came ug and looked at me with wondering eyes. He licked my hand, and then died. I don’t think that ever be- fore I had hated the enemy, but ever since my dog was gassed I’ve wanted, I’ve longed, to kill a Ger- ‘man. “About half an hour afterwards we were evacuated. The ambulance was smashed, and we were taken on a lorry to a base hospital in Belgium. After the first effects wore off, we were able to return to England.” The two women were cared for at a nursing home in London, and were still severely ill from gas pois- oning when a visitor called to see them some weeks later. The Baroness was suffering great pain and was unable to sit up. But she was able to give the inter- view quoted above. Both are expected to recover, and both have these hopes—to get back to Pervyse as soon as possible, and to find another dog as like “Shot” in appearance and character as possible. “It was certainly tragic luck,” said the Baroness T’Serclaes, “for this to have happened to us after three and a half years. And who knows where our little place will be when we are well again? It had be- come almost untenable before we left.” In the meantime, the heroines are enjoying the adoration of their country, and it is no exaggeration to say that today the “Fearless Women of Pervyse” are the idols of England. Their pictures are being printed in the newspapers, with accounts of their work and of their injury. They are, of course, glad of the praise, but their hearts are in the dugout in Belgium, where for so many months they shared with the soldiers of the front line the dangers and priva- tions of war.

Px ers and there were plenty of bricks and spit lef& Women as well as men are the same the world over, they say. I wonder? You can just picture the women of, say Rockland, Me., following ® crowd of German prisoners that way, can't you! Not! But, of course, tue women of Rockland are pretty crude—no kultur at all—and Gott never commissioned President. Wilson to take the lid off the strafe pot for him. They drilled us aiong the docks, and it looked as though the whole German navy was tied up at Swinemunde. We saw many of the ships we had heard about, among them being the famous Vulcan, the mother ship for submarines. There were many sailors loafing along the docks, and they gave the women a hand with their day's work. They were no better with a brick, but they had more ammu- nition when it came to spitting. One of them tripped a young boy by the name of’ Kelley, and as you would never doubt, Kelley picked up a rock and crashed the sailor with it. He was then bayonetted twice in the left leg» We began sing- ing then, our popular favorite, “Pack up your troubles, etc.,” and when they heard us, how the swine stared! . Then they drilled us past the German. soldiers’ quarters. The men were at rifle practice, and I guess all of us thought how handy we would be as targets. But when we got near them, they quit practicing and crowded around us, ye ““"Raus! Zuruck!” Finally they let us into the barracks, and first thing we saw was a great big pile of h That looked good to us, and we made a rush a dived into it. But the Huns told us to take the ing it over the side when the vessel rolled heavily, and dropped the dixie into the drink. A sentry who saw him drop it forced him up to Badewitz, who began mauling him before the sentry even had told his story. After a while Badewitz quit pound- ing the cook and listened to the sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook had put a note in the dixie before he dropped it, so they beat him up again and put him in irons. After that they sent the rest of the cooks back and would not let them up on deck again. They had plenty of canned goods and meat aboard, but they would not give us any. Five of the men were buried at sea that day. More men were going mad every minute, and it was a terrible place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal under- foot, coal-dust air to breathe, body filth everywhere. Some of the crazy men howled like dogs. But we were not as much afraid of these as we were of the others who kept still, but slipped around in the dark with lumps of coal in their hands. We got so we would not go near each other for fear we were running into a crazy man. Those of us who were sane collected as near the fiddley as we could, and we could not let the others get near us, but shoved them back or shied lumps of coal at them. And every once in a while some one of us would begin to act queer. Maybe he would let out a howl suddenly, without any warning. Or he would just quit talking and begin to sneak around. Or he would squat down and 0begin to mumble. We could not tell just when a man had be- gun to lose his mind. He would seem just like the rest of us, because ‘none of us was much better than a beast. Finally, one day, a lad yelled down “Land!” and we all dove for the fiddley like wild men, and those who could get near enough looked out, and sure enough! there was the coast of Norway, very ragged and rocky and covered with snow. We thought it was all over then and that we would be landed at Bergen sure. Then there was the usual running around and yelling on deck, and we were not so sure we would be landed, and very suddenly it got colder than ever. We saw rows and rows of mines, and the German sailors pointed out what they said were H. M. SS. Lion and Nomad, but I do not kgow whether they were the same ones that were in the Jutland battle or not. Finally we landed at Swinemunde just as the bells were ringing the old year out and the new year in. We were a fine bunch of blackbirds to hand the Kaiser for a New Year’s present, believe me. They mustered us up on deck and each of us got a cup of water for our New Year’s:spree. Then we saw we were in for it, and all hope gone, but we were glad to be released from our hole, because we had been prisoners since Dec. 10—three days on the Moewe and 18 on the Yarrowdale, and the coal was not any softer than when we first sat on it. So we began singing, “Pack your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, boys, smile. What's the use of worrying? It’s never worth while,” and so forth. They made us shut up, but not before we asked our- selves if we were downhearted, and everybody yelled “No!” We arrived at Swinemunde, on the east bank, and after we had had our drink of water and had been rousted back into the bunkers, Badewitz went across SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH-—MAY 26, 1918. There they tied me, face to the fence, arms over my head, and hands and feet lashed to the wire and with a rope around my feet, too. te the west side in a launch with Joyce and Hill and a guard of sailors. They were to be shot the next morning, with some others, at a public shooting fest. The rest of us wrapped ourselves in lumps of coal as best we could and tried to sleep. In the morning crowds of Germans came aboard us and were turned loose on the boxes in the hold. It was a sight to see them rip off the covers and gobble the salami-and other stuff that we carried. Table man- ners are not needed when there is no table, I guess, but if you had seen them, you would say these Ger- mans did not even have trough manners. I have seen hogs that were more finicky. While they were at it, hand to hand with the chow, giving and receiving terrible punishment, we prison- ers were mustered on deck, counted, kicked onto tugs and transferred to the west bank, where the mob was waiting for us. My wounds, as you can imagine, were in a pretty bad state by this time, and were getting more painful every minute, so that I found I was getting ugly and anxious for an argument. As we went ashore, the bombardment began, and we were not only under fire of spit, if you could call it that, but also of rocks and bottles and sticks and most anything that could be thrown. I discovered then why so many of our major league ballplayers have German names. As we marched along, the crowd drilled along the street with us, heaving bricks and spitting and working the changes on schweinhund. We had an armed guard, of course, but all they did was to guard the crowd when some of us could not stand it and tried to get back at some of the mob. Ina civilized country, as you probably know, prisoners are protected from the mobs by their guards. All this time, “Jest you forget,’ we had no shoes, and no clothing—only what had once been our under- wear. It is all right to be a Coney Island snowbird and pose around in your bathing suit in the drifts, because you are in good condition, and, last but not least, be- cause you do not have to doit. Figure out the other side of it for yourself. They marched us into a field where there was noth- ing much but guns and ammunition and snow, and set us up in something like skirmish formation. We stood there for some time, and then we saw a lot of Huns with the new long rifles coming toward us, velling just as they did in battle, and we thought sure we were being ased for practice targets. Itis a good thing they halted and stopped yelling when they ‘did, or we would all have started for them to fight it out, for we were not the kind that likes to be butch- ered with hands in the air, and we would have been glad for a chance to get a few of them before they got us. But they did halt, and then surrounded us, and drilled us away through swamps and woods and shallow water or slush. The women followed, too — we had to stand still hay out and throw it in the middle of the road, They had to use force before we would do it. Some of the young boys were crying, and I do not blanie them much. But one of the boys tried to hide some of the hay behind a box and was caught doing it, and two sentries clouted him from one end of the barracks to the other. His nose was broken and his face mashed to a jelly. But there was noth- ing we could do, so we just wandered up and dewn the barracks, about as we did between decks on the Moewe, trying to keep warm. While this Marathon was on we heard a whistle blown very loudly, and when we looked out we saw a wagon piled up with old tin cans. Then we were told to form in single file, walk out to the wagon and each get a can for himself. Bach man had to take the first can he laid his hands on, and many of us got rusty ones with holes in them. So that about half an hour later, when we received barley coffee, and all we had to drink it from was the cans, lots of the men had to drink theirs almost at one gulp, or lose half of it. About 11 o'clock that morning the whistle blew again and we came out and were given an aluminum spoon and a dish apiece. Then we cheered up and saw corned beef and cabbage for ourselves. An hour later they drilled us through the snow to the kuche. When we got there we stood in line until at least 12:30, and then the Germans shouted, “Nichts zu essen.” But we did not know what that meant, so we just hung around there and waited. Then they started shouting “Zu- ruck! Zuruck!”. and drove us back to the barracks. Later we heard the words “‘nichts zu essen!” (or “nix essen,” as Mallen said) so often that we thought probably they meant “no eats.”” We had our reasons for thinking so, too. Those words, and “zuruck” and ‘“**’raus,” were practically all we did hear, except, of course, various kinds of schweinhunde. It was awful to see the men when we got back to the barracks. Some of the boys from the Georgic, not much over 12 years old, were almost crazy, but even the older men were crying, many of them. It was nothing but torture all the time. ‘They opened all the windows and doors in the barracks, and then we could not heat the room with our bodies. When we started to move around, to keep warm, they fired a few shots at us. I do not know whether they hit anyone or not; we had got so that we did not pay any attention to things like that. But it stopped us, and The Huns thought we would take the rifles from the sentries and use them, too. I never saw a yellower bunch of people in my life. I do not mean people. I wish I could publish what [ really do mean. We had stoves in the barracks, but no coal or wood to burn. There were many boxes piled up there, but they belonged to the Germans. We would have burned them if we could, but the Germans made us carry them out across the road. They weighed about 150 pounds apiece, and we were so weak that it was all two men could do to budge them. And we had to carry them; they would not let us roll them. We were so cold and hungry that even that exercise did not warm us. (Continued on Page 14.) PAGE THIRTEEN

JORDAN, divisional commander on the St. Louis front in the al- lied warfare on the fly, has sent his forces into action: for the summer Large traps have been de- campaign. ployed to commanding street corners, distribution is about to be made of 100,000 rapid-fire swatters, and heavy educational sheHing of the city has begun. Through artiq@g@s in the public press, ad-. dresses before public gatherings and placards of vari- ous sorts for various places a propaganda is- being carried on to impress upon the people that the fly must ‘be exterminated to make the world safe for habitation. Conditions being’ little changed in the battle zone, the tactical operations now getting under way are largely the same as:those which became familiar a year ago. Dr. Jordan, who is Assistant City Health Commis- sioner in charge of the sanitary section of the Health Department, told a Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine reporter he did not expect the war to be a short one. A great deal had been acComplished, he. said, but the enemy still had large resources and strong re- serves. “The fight in St. Louis to exterminate those insects, which are a menace to life and health, began five years ago,’ Dr. Jordan said. ‘First attention was given to the fly and the mosquito because their power of rapid locomotion makes them more formidable than other insects, but.since the problem of keeping the mosquito down is chiefly one of keeping oil on the open water in which they develop, our efforts have really centered against the fly. We have been successful to the extent that the fly situation now is better in St. Louis than in any other large city in the United States, with the possible exception of Cleveland, which also has con- ducted a vigorous anti-fly campaign. The situation in all of the large cities, Dr. Jordan said, was much better than it used to be and was fairly good in many of the smaller towns. He de- clared the rural districts to be the greatest source of {ly trouble. “So far,” he said, “the farmer has not rallied strong- ly to our assistance, although he is beginning to help a little. -For the most part he makes no effort to handle barn filth and decomposing organic matter in such a way as to prevent them from being rank breeding places for flies. The result is that when he hauls a load of produce to town he also brings in a load ot flies. When a load of livestock arrives, flies come with it in droves. The cities are by no means perfect, but no matter how much they may improve -their san- itation and no matter how near they may come to exterminating their flies at any given time, they will have to keep on fighting until the farms quit breeding the insect, and resupplying the towns.” The records of the city fly ‘ traps indicate a decrease in the number of flies in St. Louis. In the summer of 1916 48 large traps on street cor- ners caught 215 gallons of flies. Last summer the same traps had but 187 gallons to their credit. ‘‘A horse on the suena is a good barometer of how thick the flies are,” Dr. Jordan re- marked. . “If the animals stamps its feet furiously and swishes its tail about contin- uously, it is being badly both- ered by flies. St. Louis horses stamp and switch much less than they used to.” Dr. Jordan discussed «the campaign of the Health De- partment to educate the peo- ple. to join in the crusade against the fly. “Two things we try to get the people to do,” he said. “One is destroy every pos- OPENED = . : r Fore 5 . =. ee ‘ fii: EARL AIS het OS 1 oP.

The importance of this is easy to understand, in the light of a United States Government expert's declaration that in the time from April 15 to Sept. 10 of any year a single fly will produce over five trillion other flies, Killing one fly early in the season, therefore, is equiv- alent to killing trillions later. = “Our first difficulty, and our greatest one, is to get the people to realize the gravity of the fly menace, that for instance, ‘a flygin the milk may mean a wmember of the family in the grave,’ as we say on one of our placards, or that scoffing at advice to screen, the cradle is as likely as not to result in wearing mourning for the baby. We speak of ‘educating’ the people to understand these things, but in reality it is more of a process of absorption and we have to keep at it and keep at it until the process is complete. “It is a curious fact that health is the last thing anyone thinks it is necessary to do anything about— so long as he has it. It also is curious how long it takes to ‘put over’ a perfectly apparent proposition. There was a time when a tuberculosis sufferepin a restaurant would attract no attention beyond possibly arousing a feeling of sympathy. The carelessness. re- garding the disease continued for many years, but gradually the idea of the danger of tuberculosis was absorbed, until today a man obviously suffering from it would depopulate any restaurant he entered.” St. Louis was declared by Dr. Jordan to be better off as regards mosquitoes than any other large city this far South, and last year the Health Department felt that it had the fly and mosquito campaigns so well in han® that it turned more attention than it had be- fore to bed bugs and fleas.. The work in this direction is largely a’ matter of fumigation and has been han- dicapped by lack of money for the purchase of ma- terials. The bed bug, in Dr. Jordan’s estimation, is the next most dangerous insect after the fly, com- municating disease by biting a well person after biting one who is ill. Personally Dr. Jordan believes, after an extensive study of the subject, that the bed bug is the medium through which leprosy is. saessescntrenein from one person to another. The Health Department’s jurisdiction ends at the city limits. Inside these it can carry on its fight to — Killing one of little disease carriers now means same as destroy- ing trillions of them later in the season — What Health Department is doing: to exterminate this and qther insects ‘bite of the mosduito.

This year the Health Depart-_— . ment is trying to do something for : the vacationists. Through its bulletin it has issued a os warning and suggestions to those who expéct to S0- ‘journ in the country, where, in spite of many beneficial _ ‘conditions, many dangers to health also lurk. .-. “The greatest danger,” it is pointed out, “is from | 8 Se Bh Typhoid fever occurs in only one either food or drink or through the agency of infected ~~ fingers, cups, eating utensils, etc. The infection is most frequent in drinking water. from wells, cisterns or spring, or in food that is fly contaminated. The lack lack of control of flies promotes. infection of food.” Another. disease likely to be contracted is malaria, and this also is transmitted in'one way only—by the The vacationist is told how he may protect himself against the two diseases. “There is now available a serum,” says the Health Department, “which is an almost positive protection against typhoid, the so-called typhoid vaccine. Im- munization requires‘a period of 20 days, three injec- tions being. given at 10-day intervals. These injec- tions are not painful and as a rule give very little if any reaction,.that is, disturbance, and are positively harmless.”’ Since it is said that the malaria mosquito bites only at night, or at least after sundown, special protection against the insect at night is advised. The safest course, however, is to take quinine regularly, the drug being a specific against malaria. If the blood stream is kept impregnated with it the parasite of malaria will be destroyed, even if it gain entrance by being injected by the bite of an infected mosquito. The dose is from two to five grains, according to age, taken twice or three times a day. To the quinine it is well to add a small quantity of red pepper, about a quarter of a grain to each five grains of quinine. “These precautions,” concludes the warning, “may superfluous to the man or woman on pleasure ent, and they are, so long as nothing happens, but should you develop a case of typhoid fever or malaria i: ig not unlikely that you would regret not having given consideration to these warnings.” Returning to the fly for a moment, here is a word picture of one of them at work spreading disease, writ- ten by an enemy. It isn’t especially esthetic, but neither are the fly’s operations: “An untidy creature stamped- ing across the bread and cake, rubbing his front legs together, pawing his cheeks and whiskers to clean away the accumulations of filth, rubbing his hind legs and finishing up with a graceful shake of his wings, moistening the cake with saliva, eating his desert and then flying off to visit some sick person down the street. One reason he usually finds what he is looking for is that he has 42,000'eyes, and it is no trouble for him to scatter dis- ease in his train, because he can carry 600,000 germs without be- ing overloaded. — “Flies live swift little lives, with only 10 days between gen- erations, and there are. figures to prove that the progeny. of one fly in a season could pack a tall building from basement to tower.” . Besides the diseases the fly is known to spread, he is strongly suspected of distributing others, Rew - PAGE ‘FIVE

Into her waiting spirit came His word to another martyr church, “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a é.:éwn of life.” She gave them His counsel with what words of comfort she could add—she had nothing to put in their purse. With Oriental deference they kissed her hand, went out into the street of Jerusalem, down past Gethsemane, on past Bethany, on down the old Jericho road where not one man, but thousands, were perishing. to tell their people to die for the name of Jesus, as their fathers bad died for 13 centuries. From one province 16°0 of the fairest girls were se- lected and driven off to be distributed among the Turkish -harems. They came to a bridge. Part of their gi ard was before and part behind, carelessly jibing each other as they marched. Suddenly a girl leaped on the rafling and with a piercing cry plunged headionz into the rock-riven torrent below. As sud- denly 1600 girls followed her. “We never dreamed of such a thing,’ said one of the guards to a missionary afterwards. “We thought thpse giris would be glad to be dressed in sil's and jewels and be another pet in some Pasha’s palace. We did not know those Chris- tian women.” ' One day this Turkish guard and the missionary eame to a churchyard full of bones. “What does this fMean’’ said the missionary. “Oh, please-do not ask fie,” replied the guard. “I would give all I own if I gould forget it.” Finally _he yielded and told this grewsome tale: \ “We came to this PAGE TWELVE church, after we had thought every Armenian in the district was dead. To our sur- prise, it was full of people. Being lightly armed, we could not storm it, and its solid stone walls defied fire. So we sat down to starve them out. Wearying of this, the commander shouted in,through the door that if they would say ‘There is no God but God, and Mo- hammed is his prophet,’ We would spare them all. Presently the door open The priest, hoary with age, stepped out, his hands folded, his head bowed. The commander understood. It was the old Armenian answer. There was a flash of a sword and a headless body fell from the steps. A man followed; then an- other, and another; old men and boys: old women and girls and mothers with their babes on their breasts, till 2000 heads and headless bodies were piled where. these bones lie.” - The guard could not continue. He was convulsed with sobs. Finally he said: “Dr. Coan, there is a God in heaven, Allah, the righteous One. He is just. And [ tell you He will judge Turkey for what she has done to Armenia. “Now I will tell you why I told this story. Some- thing happened here we could not understand. Per- haps you can tell me what it meant. Not one of those Armenians asked for mercy. Not one shed a tear, ut- tered a cry or showed sign of fear. One by one they walked out, and as they came each one fixed his eye on a spot in the sky. Then each one smiled and glory was on their f&ces. It was dreadful to us. What did it mean ?”’ . Then Dr. Coan sat down beside that Moslem and told him the story of Stephen. He told him that Allah had drawn back the curtain of heaven and let those Armenians who loved Jesus better than life see the Son of God. “You do not believe God has a Son,” he his captors, and forthwith sct out to model the figure shown on the first page of this issue of the Post-Dispatch also is not devoid of other character studies, as note the gloomy expression of the young American soldier on the extreme right, and the triumphant grin on the face of the German officer at the left.

And if Allah would draw back the curtain now, and open our eyes: we should see 2000 martyrs in white robes around the throne with His Son, for whose sake they died.” This is a glimpse or two at this new Jericho road. You cannot look upon even this much of it and ever live .as you haVe lived. No Christian can see these multitudes dead and dying on this new Jericho road and pass by on the other side. Listen and you will hear your Master saying, as He did to His disciples when a crowd had missed a meal—only one meal— ‘Give ye them to eat.” And we can give. A lad had five loaves and two fishes, probably only his own lunch: But it was enough, for Jesus can multiply our offering when we give our all. He is standing between us and them, keeping the way open. His wonderful power for us to send them help. Our President Wilson issués an order month by month for the forwarding of all the - funds the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief have to send. The American Govern- ment transmits it to an American Committee in Con- stantinople, from whence it is sent to committees of Americans and other foreigners in the great centers. The Turkish Government permits this. Turkish offi- cials never touch this money in transmission. Our agents in Turkey are imperilling their lives—many of them have laid down their lives—to distribute these funds. What can we do to commensurate with their sacrifice? We must do what we ean now. We must continue to do all we can till the war is over and the remnant of these Christian nations in Turkey are once more able to care for themselves.

A ater te ea an The dread of losing the savings of many - tollsome years inspires an overwrought little Woman to put aside her natural timidity and _ gandertake a hazardous venture for the recov- ery of her property from the clutches of a _ plausible swindler, to whom her trusting hus- band has confided it. EVER had there been a September like that in all the autumns of Judith Crest’s life. The last day she went out to a little knoll edged by syca- more trees, only to -gaze about the farm for the sheer joy of possession. : | Yet she was not used to love the farm; Dorn a timid and gregarious soul, she was oppressed by solitude. For 22 years that long hedge of poplars ~ had looked to her as she fancied a prison stockade - might look to a convict. Her eyes wearied of the bil- ~ lowy levels, tossing like an ocean about the trig, four- roomed house and huge unpainted barns; they wearied _ of the dusty currant bushes and the unfruitful orchard. _ Most of all, they wearied of the one everlasting, re- ~ Yentless face of nature. Therefore, she spent hours, daily, nursing a pitiful little show of flowers such as had grown in the moist seashore gardens of her youth, and wilted under the fierce Iowa summers. Indoors, she cut out pictures from the illustrated journals that, at rare intervals, came into her hands, and pasted them on her unplas- tered walls. She learned to make paper flowers. She hankered after the dazzling, unattainable loveliness of wax flowers in oval glass cases. She subscribed to a semi- weekly household magazine named The ~~ Homestead; reading and rereading (in her hunger for companionship) the “Correspond- ence Column,” wherein subscribers ex- changed impartially their domestic trials, the spiritual wrestlings, the puzzles of rural etiquette and the best fashions of washing blankets or raising a “sponge.” Occasionally, in that oft-studied column, would appear a paragraph like this: “I would like to ask the sister from Marr if she makes her chocolate frosting with the whites of the eggs or boils it;’ and please send a recipe for preventing rabbits gnawing the rosebushes.” Signed ‘“Lucetta.” Or: “I dearly love to get The Homestead. I enjoy all the sisters say. Erminie writes most beautifully! Please write again. Erminie, and let us know how to bear our crosses 4n the right spirit. I would be obliged, also, for a remedy to prevent hair falling out.” When she read these, Mrs. Crest would blush with pleasure and feel the intoxicat- ing delights of fame, for she was Lucetta. But for most of the time there was only work to break the loneliness. To be sure, there was plenty of work, and had been all through the 22 years. Joshua, her husband, was a good farmer; but for a long while “un-. merciful disaster followed fast and followed faster;” once, he had been swept clean of all, save hope, by a cyclone; once, he had escaped only by a hair's breadth losing his farm through the dishonesty of a friend. Twenty-two years ago he had said: “Never mind, Judy, just let me-make a few thousand dollars and you shan't have to work on the farm. I'll sell out and buy a store in town and be Postmaster.” All his life Joshua had craved the leisurely honors of office. He, too, was social; he liked to talk, and he had a gift for telling stories. How many times in the years these two simple creatures had stocked that store I will not try to count. But the years slowly had dragged hope and dreams away together. The little children came; they died, one after another, and the desolate mother felt, deep down in her heart, that a doctor near enough to come daily might have saved them. Then, when the keen- ness of their grief was blunted, and they went for com- fort to their old fancies, time and again their savings had been wrenched from them. The man would have given up the fight in despair, but the woman clung to her shadowy hopes the more tenaciously. Finally, their patience and industry conquered. The great crop of 1891 had increased their savings beyond the amount necessary to pay off the last installment of the mortgage; they would actually have some hundreds in money. Six thousand dollars and over stood to Joshva Crest’s credit at the bank. PAGE SIX “Only,’ said Judith to Myron Dwight, “I cayn’t help feeling kinder scary till Oct. 3 is past and gone.” . Myron was considered the cleverest young man in ‘Delmar or the county. He had been to lowa City to the university, he went every year to Chitago to buy bis goods, which added to his knowledge of the world and improved his toilets; he was talked about for the Legislature. He was to be JoBhua’s partner. Myron was “almost like a son to Judith. She had loved him, petted him, prayed for him and no one except his mother knew so well the things he liked best to eat. Myron’s mother was Judith’s best friend—why should I make a secret of it? She was the admired Erminie of The Homestead. She was a widow with this one child, whom she had educated out of the proceeds of a tiny bakeshop and an infinite ingenuity. They lived in Delmar. To _ live in Delmar may not seem to the world a brilliant lot, Delmar being a flat inland lowa ° town, but, in contrast with fie lonely farm life, a town with two churches, a bank and shops looked like a populous paradise, In Delmar one could see people every day, just by looking out of the window. “Seems like I couldn’t wait to get to Delmar,” says Judith, “but I cayn’t feel to be quite happy till after the 3d.” Myron looks at her kindly from the height of his § feet 2 inches. She is such a wee creature—in a black frock made (but he does not know it) after a pattern from The Homestead—with her little, peaked, wistful, timid face; her mild blue eyes peered out, from be- " ~. ’ of . age / eS a aa” — TA N fil ) HA bl ) = Ta 4° “Tt ain’t in the Delmar Bank. It is in the other bank, Mr. Starling’s bank, at Ranford.” neath the wrinkled forehead, by the constant lifting of her eyebrows, to see distant objects on those wide and lonely plains. Her eyebrows are thin and gray, and so is her hair, which she curls on a siate pencil to resemble the hair of the ladies of Delmar. It would be pretty hair if she would not disfigure it. ‘“‘Yes,”’.says Myron, “Lollard is a hard man to deal with, but you have the money in the Delmar Bank, all right.” “It ain't in the Delmar Bank. It is in the other bank, Mr. Starling’s bank, at Ranford.”’ Myron’s black brows met. “Why, Uncle Joshua cer- tainly told me he was going to put it in the Delmar Bank.” “Well, he did start to put it there, but he happened tou hear Mr. Maxwell was a drinking man’—— “Maxwell! Why, he never was drunk in his life. He is as temperate a man as ever lived, and as honest.” “Joshua didn’t hear anything about his honesty, but —it was this way: Joshua had gone to Delmar with that money, and he met Mr. Starling in town; well, I guess Mr. Starling come up to him and congratulated him on the high price he got for his wheat, and its being likely our corn would do well, too; and Joshua told him what he got, and how he was on his way to put it in the bank. And, some way, that led them into talking "bout Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Starling said he was sorry Maxwell was voting with the liquor party;. and it come out that Mr. Maxwell sometimes took a glass of beer himself. Mr. Starling seemed to feel real sorry about it.” a - Here Myron burst In: “Sorry? Why, he was just telling Uncle Josh that to prejudice him. He sorry, the hypocrite! Then, I dare say, when Uncle Josh wanted to put the money in his bank he wouldn't take it at first!’’ : “No, he truly wouldn't, Myron, but you know your Uncle Joshua feels so strong about the temperance question, because his sister, she married a drunkard; he said he wouldn’t let his money go to help the brew- eries, and he fairly made Mr. Starling take it.” ; Myron was -gloomily gnawing his mustache. “Did he get a deposit receipt?’ said he. “They went right on back to Ranford, and put the money in the bank there.” She stole a worried glance at the young man’s dark face; for years she had trusted to Myron’s knowledge of the great, dim, wicked mys- tery that she called “the world.” Even she suspected that Joshua -was simple as a child. “I hope—oh, there ain't anything wrong about doing that way, is there, Myron?” Myron laughed; it was all right, he guessed, and he would not stay for parleying, but swung his long legs over the barbed-wire fence in a handspring, and was off to seek Joshua. Judith caught her’ breath, because she always expected to see him “catch” on the jagged line of iron. Poor Judith! Hers was a soul that inclined to terror as the sparks fly upward. She was afraid of cows and mice and June bigs and horses and hired men. She went to church behind staid old horses, feeling that she was risking her life for her religion. When they first came to the prairie, she had been braver and younger and used to ride; but since the brown colt ran away and threw her on the railway track in front of a train of cars she had never mounted a horse. She told Mrs. Dwight that, if she had to choose between be- ing shot and riding Starlight, the colt, she would ask to be shot, “because it is an easier death,” said Mrs. Crest. Of course, she lived in dread of the “hired men,” except Axel Petersen, the latest hired man, who was to be married to a girl in Sweden, and had told her about the courtship. Axel was to buy the farm. Most of all, she feared tramps at harvest time; she feared them so much that she had secretly bought a second-hand pistol that would not fire, which she locked up in a drawer; and she was, on the whole, rather more afraid of its exploding than of the tramps. For a while she watched the tall, light fig- ure bounding between the rows of corn, with the pensive admiration of age for youth's activity; then she walked slowly, a little stiffly, back to the house. It would soon be time for Joshua’s supper; perhaps Myron would stop to supper, too, and it would be worth while to make pancakes. But when, half an hour later, Joshua's shadow fell across the threshold, there was no tall young fellow behind him. Joshua stood in the doorway to watch her. The kitchen was large and sunny, and Judith had papered it with her own hands. Had the paper not been bought of a peddler, to whom Judith had paid tribute because she was alone in the house and -he had “such fierce kinder eyes,” it probably would not have been a remnant of a pattern used in a country opera house, nor represented flowers of such startling size and color, nor need to be eked out by a blue and gold ceiling paper. But Joshua said that the paper was a good quality, and he admired it with a trusting heart. He was a short, rather stout, florid little man, whose gray hair was brushed back from a large forehead,. and whose blue eyes were innoCent as a child’s. He stooped a little, because he had bent over a plow handle so much in his youth. He wore a short, gray beard, but his mouth was bare and usually was attractive in its kindly, half-humorous smile. Tonight he watched his wife gravely. But his first words were cheerful enough: ‘Mother, Axel’s money will be here all right, next month, and he can pay twelve hundred down and the rest on two, three and four years’ time.” “That's good,” said Mrs. Crest, “but why didn’t SUNDAY MAGAZINE-—ST.

Now, where?” “In the cellar, perhaps.” “Come, I will show you.” He led old Adelbert by the elbow to a window overlooking the yard. Just such an inclosure as each of the neighboring houses_ possessed, and surrounded by a high fence. Here was a rabbit hutch, built of old boards, and familiar enough to the veteran’s eyes; and a dove cote, which loomed now but a deeper shadow among shadows. “Carrier pigeons,” explained the concierge. “You have seen them often, but you suspected nothing, eh? They are my telegraph. Now, look again, comrade. What else?’ “Barrels,” said old Adelbert, squinting. “The win- ter’s refuse from the building. A—a most untidy spot.” His soldierly soul had revolted for months at the litter under his window. And somewhere, in the disorder, lay his broken sword. His sword broken, and he— “Truly untidy,’’ observed the concierge compla- cently. “A studied untidiness, and even then better than a room I shall show you in the cellar, filled to overflowing with boxes containing the winter’s ashes. Know you,” he went on, dropping his voice, “that these barrels and boxes are but a third full of rubbish. Be- low that, in cases, is—what we speak of.” “But I thought—a peaceful revolution, a”—— ‘“‘We prepare for contingencies. Peace if possible. If not, war. I am telling you much because, by your oath, you are now one of us, and bound to secrecy. But, .beside that, I trust you. You are a man of your word.” “Yes,” said’°old Adelbert, drawing himself up. “I am a man of my word. But you cannot fight with cartridges alone.” “We have rifles, also, in other places. Even I do not know where all of them are concealed.” The concierge chuckled in his beard. “The Committee knows men well. It trusts none too much. There are other depots throughout the city, each containing supplies of one sort or another. On the da- of the uprising each patriot will be told where to go for equipment. Not befgre.”’ Old Adelbert was undoubtedly impressed. He re- garded the concierge with furtive eyes. He, Adelbert, had lived in the house with this man of parts for years, and had regarded him as but one of many. Black Humbert, waiting for the hour to start and filling his tankard repeatedly, grew loquacious. He hinted of past matters in which he had proved his value to the cause. Old Adelbert gathered that, if he had not actually murdered the late Crown Prince and his wife, he had been closely concerned in it. His thin, old flesh crept with anxiety. It was a bad busi- ness, and he could not withdraw. “We should have had the child, too,” boasted the concierge, “and saved much bother. But he had been, unknown to us, sent to the country. A matter of milk, 1 believe.” “But you say you do not war on children!” “Bah! A babe of a few months. Furthermore,” said the concierge, “I have a nose for the police. I scent a spy as a dog scents a bone. Who, think you, dis- covered Haeckel?” “Haeckel!” Old Adelbert sat upright in his chair. “Aye, Haeckel! Haeckel the jovial, the arch-conspira- tor, who himself assisted to erect the press .you hear beneath your feet. Who but I? I suspected him. He was too fierce. He had no eaution. He was what a peaceful citizen may fancy a revolutionist to be. I watched him. He was not brave. He was reckless because he had nothing to fear. And at last I caught him.” Old Adelbert was sitting forward on the edge of his chair, his jaw dropped. “And what then?’ he gasped. ‘He was but a boy. Perhaps you misjudged him. Boys are reckless.” “I caught him,” said the concierge. “I have said it. He knew much. He had names, places, even dates. For that matter, he confessed.” “Then he is dead?” quavered old Adelbert. The concierge shrugged his shoulders. “Of course,” he said, briefly. “For a time he was kept here, in an upper room. He could have saved himself, if he would. We could have used him. But he turned sulky, refused speech, did not eat. When he was taken away,” he added with unction, “he was so weak that he could not walk.” He rose and consulted a great silver watch. “We can go now,” he said. “The Committee likes promptness.” They left together, the one striding out with long steps that were surprisingly light for his size, the other, hanging back a trifle, as one who walks because he must. . Old Adelbert, who had loved his King better than his country, was a lagging “patriot” that night. His breath came short and labored. His throat was dry. As they passed the opera, however, he threw his head up. The performance was over, but the great house was still lighted, and in the foyer, strutting SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH-—MAY 26, Pacing the drawing room of his suite with a cigarette and cursing the tables and bric-a-brac with which it was clustered, Karl was of a mind to turn back, after all. about, was his successor. Old Adelbert quicsened his steps. At the edge of the place, near the statue of the Queen, they took a car, and so reached the borders ef the city. After that they walked far. The scent of the earth, fresh-turned by the plow, was in their nostrils. Cattle, turned out after a long winter, grazed or lay in the fields. Through the ooze of the road the two plodded; old “Adelbert struggling through with difficulty, the ‘concierge exhorting him impatiently to haste. At last the leader paused and surveyed his surround- ings: ‘“‘Here I must cover your eyes, comrade,” he said. “It is a formality all must comply with.” Old Adelbert drew back. “I do not like your rule. I am not as other men. I must see where I go.” “TI shall lead you carefully. And, if you fear, I can carry you.” He chuckled at the thought. But old Adelbert knew well that he could do it, knew that he was as a child to those mighty arms. He submitted to the bandage, however, with an ill grace that caused the concierge to smile. “It hurts your dignity, eh, old rooster!” he said jovially. “Others, of greater dignity, have felt the same. But all submit in the end.” He piloted the veteran among the graves with the ease of familiarity. Only once he spoke. “Know. you where you are?” “In a field,” said Adelbert, “recently plowed.” “Aye, in a field, right enough. But one which sows corruption, and raises nothing, until perhaps great St. Gabriel calls in his crop.”’ Then, realizing the meaning of the mounds over which he trod, old Adelbert crossed himself. “Only a handful know of this meeting place ed the concierge. “I, and a few others. meet with the Committee face to face.” “You must have great influence,” Adelbert, timidly. “T control the guilds. He who today can sway labor to his will is powerful; very powerful, comrade. Labor is the great beast which tires of carrying burdens, and is but now learning its strength.” “Aye,” said old Adelbert. “Had I been wise, I would have joined a guild. Then I might have kept my place at the opera. As it is, I stood alone, and they put me out.” “You do not stand alone now. Stand by us, and we will support you. ‘The republic will not forget its friends.” Thus heartened. old Adelbert brightened up some- ,” Boast- Only we may observed old what. Why should he, an old soldier, sweat at the thought of blood? Great changes required heroic measures. It was because he was old that he feared change. He stumped through the passageway with- out urging, and stood erect and with shoulders squared while the bandage was removed. He was rather longer than Olga Loschek had been in comprehending his surroundings. His ol:i eyes at first saw little but the table, and its candies in their grewsome holders. But when he saw the Com- mittee his heart failed. Here, embodied before him, was everything he had loathed during all his upright and loyal years—anarchy, murder, treason. His face worked. The cords in his neck stood out like strings drawn to the breaking point. The concierge was speaking. For all his boasting, he was ill at ease. His voice had lost its bravado, and had taken on a fawning note. “This is the man of whom word — @gas sent to the Committee,” he said. “Il ventured to ask that he be allowed to come. here, because he brings information of value.” “Step forward, comrade,” said the leader. “What is your name —_ occupation?” “Adelbert, exceliency. As to occu- pation, for years I was connected with the opera. Twenty years, ex- cellency. Then I grew old, and an- other”-——— His voice broke. What with excitement and terror, he was close to tears. “Now I am reduced to selling tickets for an American * contrivance, a foolish thing, but I earn my bread by it.” He paused, but the silence con- tinued unbroken. The battery of eyes behind the masks was turned squarely on him. Old Adelbert fidgeted. “Before that, in years gone by, I was in the army,” he said, feeling that more was expected of him, and being at a “I fought hard, and once, when I suffered the loss you per- ceive, the King himself came to my bed, and decorated me. Until lately [ Mave been loyal. Now, I am—~ here.” His face worked. “What is the information that brings you here?” Suddenly old Adelbert wept, terrible tears thag forced their way from his faded eyes, and ran dowa his cheeks. “I cannot, exceNencies!” he cried. “I fing I cannot.” : ‘ He collapsed into the chair, and throwing his arms across the table bowed his head on them. His shoul- ders heaved under his old uniform. The Committee stirred, and the concierge caught him brutally by the wrist. “Up with you!”’ he said, from clenched teeth: “What stupidity is this? Would you play with death?’ But old Adelbert was beyond fear. He shook hig bead. “I cannot,” he muttered, his face hidden. Then the concierge stood erect and folded his arms across his chest. “He is terrified, that is all,” he said, “If the Committee wishes, I can tell them of this mate ter. Later, he can be interrogated.” The leader nodded, “By chance,” said the concierge, “this—this brave veteran”—he glanced contemptuously at the huddled figure in the chair—“has come across an old passage, the one which rumor has said lay under the city wall,“ and for which we have at different times instituted search.” He paused, to give his words weight. That they were of supreme interest could be told by the cran- ing forward of the Committee. “The entrance is concealed at the base of the old Gate of the Moon. Our friend here followed it, and reports it in good condition. For a mile or there- abouts it follows the line of the destroyed wah. Then it turns and goes to the palace itself.’’ “Into the palace?” “By a flight of stairs, inside the wall, to a door in the roof. This door which was locked, he opened, having carried keys with him. The door he describes as in the tower. As it was night, he could not see clearly, but the roof at that point is flat. “Stand up, Adelbert,” said the leader sharply. that our comrade tells is true?’ “It is true, excellency.” “Shown a diagram of the ie could you locate this door?’ Old Adelbert stared around him hopelessiy. ig was done now. Nothing that he could say or refme to say would change that. He nodded. When, soon after, a chart of the palace was placed on a table, he indicated the location of the door with a trembling forefinger. “It is there,” he said thickly, “And may God forgive me for’ the thing I have done!* (Continued on Page 15.)

Starling is a good boy, he is the superintendent—no, that’s his brother; but he is a professor; and he’s a straight temperance man and I ain’t going to believe a word ag’in him.” Judith was trying to fry her cakes, the grease sputtered and hissed on the griddle and spattered on her bare wrist; she did not even know that it had burned her, Her mild eyes were glowing, she trem- bled, and her gentle voice was sharpened by pain as she answered: “Then he did talk to you. O, fa- ther, don’t—don’t hide anything from me!” ; “I ain’t hiding nothing, mother. Myron, he thought you'd worry so, that’s all; and ‘tain’t much he said; he’s young and thinks he knows it all. Jest because some Chicago feller with his boots blacked has been stuffing Myron, he thinks Starling, we've all knowed from a boy, is going to bust up!” “Father, for heaven's sake, what did Myron say?” “Well, if you'll be any wiser for hearin’, he said Steve had been speculating in buckets in Chicago,” said the old man, with a visible pride over his own fluency with the terms of finance; “he has been going long, or else he has been going short, on wheat and kiting away with notes, and lost money; but I don’t believe a word of it, myself.” ee Judith took up the cakes with shaking hands; she laid the plate on the table and put the eriddie farther back on the stove, in order to approach Joshua. Never since their little boy died had he seen his wife’s face as it looked then. : “Joshua, she said, “if we lost that money, it means we'll have to spend all our days working on a mort- gaged farm. If we can’t pay up the third he can fore- close on us; and you know he is mean enough to do it; and if we borrow the money to pay him, we shall have to work it out! That’s the best can happen to us; the worst is we'll be turned out—on the prairie—noways at all can we go to town, and—O—father”’—— “Hush, hush, Judy”—he tried to sootne her, stroking her withered hand and patting it—‘‘come now, it will be all right; we'll go fast enough to Delmar. I didn’t know you wanted it so awful much!” “Wanted it!” she screamed, while the patience of years seemed to break down and her words rushed as a prairie fire spreads; “wanted it? Father, you ain’t got no idee what it means to me to get out of this loneliness and be with God's folks again! I ain’t had a peaceful day since the children died. I couldn’t work hard enough to stop my thinking! I was scared all the while. I never said nothing "bout it. for what good would it do? We'd got to live out on the farm; it would only pester you, and you had enough to stand, but all day I'd be thinking:. what about the horses? what about the reaper? when it was going, and I'd expect every minute to see you brought If I'd a soul to speak to, it wouldn't ’e’ been so bad, but I knew we couldn't afford a girl, and how'd we get one if we could? And every time the wind blowed, I was expecting a cyclone.” “Why, Judy, and you braver than any of us men when we did have a cyclone!” “! had got to be brave then, but I was awful scared inside: but when I seen it coming, and you off, I had to loose the horses, for I knew the barn would go, and I got what I could down the cellar, ’cause I knew that was the safest place. But I am always afraid of it toming again. But I won’t mind it a bit in town; there’s so many people. Oh, I can’t tell you what it will be to be where I can see the neighbors passing, and go to church Sunday without riding!

In both their minds was the same vision of the love and joy and grief of their youth. : “Now, father, it seems like I couldn’t run no risks. Say Myron and me are foolish, there ain’t no risk in taking the money out, and there is to keep it in; jest to please me, father, won’t you take it out?’ He had never denied her anything and he did not ' deny her now; he was frightened at her strange ex- citement, and told her to sit down and he would fin- ish getting supper. “And, I tell youu what I'll do, mother,” said he. “I'll go to town tomorrow, though before the Lord I don’t know how to take the time, and I'll inquire ‘round, and, if there is any talk ‘bout the bank being bad, I'll draw the money sharp. But, you see, I hate to make mischief for Starling, who is a good boy, running down his bank, so I jest got to go cautious, ain’t I? And it is a sight of money to draw out ata whack, now ain't it?’ Mebbe we'd better sorter give him warning, do like we'd be done by, you know, so he can git a good ready. What do you think?” “I think you'd better go and do jest what Myron says.” “Myron don't know everything, mother,” answered her husband, in a piqued tone. “You don’t seem to guess I got any judgment of my own.” She knew she had made a mistake, and hastened to assure him that she knew how good his judgment was and the like things that wives say to their hus- bands; but there was a little rankle left. Myron had always disliked Starling from a boy, he said. Myron was prejudiced. Nevertheless, he was good as his word. In the morn- ing he drove to town. He inquired of the deacon of his church if Starling was sound. He had qualms of conscience lest such an inquiry might be an injury to the bank; therefore he chose a known friend of Starling’s for the interlocutor. “Sound!”’ exclaimed the deacon, whose name was on a note of Starling’s at that moment. “Sound? Of course he is sound; but if you want to make him unsound—that is the way to go at it—start a run and you will make plenty of mis-s chief!” “TI didn’t mean to make any mischief,’’ said Joshua, contritely. “I ain’t that kind, but, you see, my wife got scared" —— | “Does she know anything about business?’ asked the deacon, with a caustic accent on the word; and Joshua felt that he cut the sorry figure of a man that was cajoled, by his wife, into doing unkind as well as unbusinesslike actions. os kee acai bay 4 " aes is aa ee BG ies - “s WES Pe As Ms Ee i oe : re : pa ee e 5 aa A ss The deacon left him, wretchedly cleaning his boots on the wooden side . walk to conceal his embarrassment, and hurried after Starling himself. “I will get that note back today,” thought the deacon. “He was s0 liberal loaning without asking security that I couldn't very well refuse, but he has got to see me through!” Joshua was in two minds about going home; in the event he stayed, deciding to have plenty of proof to fetch Judy that she was a fool to be seared. The next time he applied to a rich lawyer of the town, who stared at his question: “Anything the matter with Starling? What makes you think that?” “I did hear’—thus Joshua made’ a feeble stand—‘“that he was sorter spekilatin’ in Chicago opinions.” “Opinions? Do you mean options? I heard so, too, and wrote to Chicago; his name was not known to anyone. I'd be a little careful, if I was you, talking about bankers’ credit these days. You have been fooled by some smart Alick, I guess, Mr.. Crest.” Crestfallen and rebuffed, Joshua climbed into his wagon. Had he gone to Myron, he would have discovered that it was suspected that it was under the names of other men that all Starling’s speculations were made; but Joshua regarded Myron as the cause of his griefs. He told Judith that he had been laughed at for his pains, and that the bank was good as gold. But he did not convince her, and, indeed, as he repeated the conversations to her they lost something of their po- tency as approvers of Starling. The next day she would have walked to Delmar to consult with Myron had she not heard from a passing neighbor that he was gone to Chicago. She said noth- ing to Joshua, but at night he said to her: “Tomorrow I got to go to Hallers’ to help them thrash; they're dretful behind with their wheat, and I cayn’'t feel it's Christian to let them two boys, that ain’t got no fa- ther, mabbe lose a lot of wheat ‘cause they ain't got help enough at the threshing machine; but day after I’m a-goin’ to see Myron and to give him a check te draw out that money. I sent word to Starling by Axel yesterday.” She thanked him warmly, and did not express the fear tormenting her that the notice would, in some un- discerned way, defeat all their intentions. That night she slept ill. She rose early and tried to cheer herself by making Joshua’s favorite coffee cake, to be ready against his return at night. She set her sponge, and was arrived at the stage oi dough, when Myron Dwight rode up on a fast horse. Myron looked cheerful, but the horse shook flecks of foam off his nostrils as he tossed his head. Myron asked for Joshua and rode away on a gallop, singing out: “Tell you all about it when we come back, Aunt Judith.” Judith waited until dark, keeping supper hot. She sat on the doorstep and thought. It seemed to her that she had never thought in that way before, during her life. The moon was in the sky, when afar, on the sea of prairie, she discérned Myron Dwight coming alone, With a sinking heart, she saw that he came in the direction of Ranford and that he was riding a tired horse. He must pass the house to reach the Delmar road. She waited for him. ‘“‘Won't you come in and have a cup of coffee, My- ron?” she begged. “I got some hot on the stova Where have you been so long? O, Myron, please tell me; please don't put me off!” Myron’s face changed. ‘You're right,” he muttered; then in a louder tone: “I won't put you off, aunty} I have been to Ranford with Uncle Josh, and—vwell, we got there after banking hours and could do nothe ing. I couldn't get Uncle Josh away from that infernal] machine. But he is going back to Ranford first thing next morning, and so am I. In fact, I shall go home and see mother, and then take the train over there to- night.”’ “Oh, Myron, is the bank going to bust?” “I guess not before we get our money out, Aunt Judy. Well, good-by.” Joshua came, no long time after. He began to talk in a rambling way about the Hallers and the day's work, and how tired the horses were, and she made no effort to question him; but presently he broke out, with a groan: “Judy, I got to tell you. I guess Myron was right about Starling.” ‘Yes, I guess he was.” “He has been looking him up in Chicago. He does speculate and he has lost money. And Myron showed me a printed book where they'd got his name down, (Continued on Page 14.) PAGE SEVEN

That means “I was “until they Weiderman, the King’s physician, is one of us,” he whispered. “The King lives now only because of stim- ulants to the heart. His body is already dead. When the stimulants cease, he will die.”’ Old Adelbert covered his eyes. He had gone too far to retreat now. Driven by brooding and trouble, he had allied himself with the powers of darkness. The stain, he felt, was already on his forehead. But before him, like a picture on a screen, came the scene by which he had lived for so many years, the war hospital, the King by his bed, young then and a very King in looks, pinning on the breast of his muslin shirt the decoration for bravery. He sat silent while the concierge cleared the table, and put the dishes in the pan for his niece to wash. And throughout the evening he said little. At some- thing before midnight he and his host were to set out much.

But that Livonia may free her neck from the foot of the oppressor, and raise her head among nations.” From which it may be seen that old Adelbert had at last joined the revolutionary party, an uneasy and unhappy recruit, it is true, but—a recruit. “If only some balf measure would suffice,’’ he said, giving up all pretense of eating. ‘This talk of rousing the mob, of rioting and violence, | do not like them.” “Then has age turned the blood in your veins to water'’’ said the concierge contemptuously. “Half- measuroes' Since wlen bas a half-measure been use- ful? Did half-measuies win in your boasted battles? And what half-measures would you propose?’ Old Adelbert sat silent. Now and then, because his mouth was‘dry, be took a sip of beer from his tank- ard. The concierge ate, taking huge mouthfuls of on- fons and bread, and surveying his feeble-hearted re- cruit with appraising eyes. To win lim would mean honor, for old Adelbert, decorated for many brav- eries, was a power among the veterans. Where he led, others would follow. “Make no mistake,’ said Black Humbert cunning- ly. “We aim at no bloodshed. A peaceful revolution if possible. The King, being dead, will suffer not even humiliation. Let the royal family scatter where it will. We have no designs on women. The Chancel- lor, however, must die.” ‘I make no plea for him,” said old Adelbert bitter- ly. “I wrote to him also, when I lost my position, and received no reply. We passed through the same cam- paigns, as I reminded him, but he did nothing.” “As for the Crown Prince,” observed the concierge, eyeing the old man over the edge of his tankard, “you know our plan for him. He will be cared for.as my own child, until we get him beyond the boundaries. Then he willbe safely delivered to those who know nothing of his birth. A private fund of the republic will support and educate him.” Old Adelbert’s hands twitched. “He is but a child,” he said, “but already he knows his rank.” “It will be wise for him to forget it.” His tome was epminous. Adelbert glanced up quickly, but the Ter- forist had seen his error, and masked ft with a grin. “Children forget easily.” he said, “and by this secret Knowledge of yours, old comrade, all can be peacefully otherwise.” done.

This remarkable painting is the work of Loufti Jacobian, a young Ar- menian who, at the age of 11, studied art in a New Haven night school, Jater won his way into the Yale University School of Fine Arts, and there captured the Foreign Fellowship, which gave him two years in Paris studios. When he was a lad in Armenia he was a witness of one of the periodical massacres and he and members of his family barely escaped with their lives, later coming portations. There were 26,000 Armenians in Trebi- zond on the Black Sea. They were told that they “would -be.deported to Syria. As the thousand mile trek over Mountain and plain was too taxing, it was an- nounced that they would be transported by sea. They wéfe crowded on old ships which put out into the Black Sea; but: returned in a few hours without an Armenian: Put that was mercy, sheer mercy. Centuries aco Armenians colonized Cilicia in Central Asia Minor. Here, too, the massacres were general. Of the survivors 400,000 were driven from their homes in great companies, with scarcely any warning. De- crepit old men, boys and girls, mothers with babes on their breasts and others clinging to their skirts, while older children trudged along with little bundles of family treasures on their backs. Now a woman falls on the wayside in her pains. No one is allowed to care for her. Perhaps a brutal soldier halts to kick her to her feet before the child is properly born. Some of these companies were stripped stark naked. All of them were subjected to brutal indignities. On they go, through the Cilician Gates through which Paul passed on his missionary journeys. On through Tar- sus, through Adana—on, ever on. Only 112,000 of the 400,000 reached Aleppo. There the American Consul protested so vigorously that thousands were sheltered in Moslem, Jewish and Christian homes.

A Q few hundreds reached the land of Moab, east of the Jordan, where they subsisted under an open heaven on. the roots of dried sum- mer grass: A deputa- tion succeeded in reaching Jerusalem, found our Mission house, and the Pro- testant community, few in number and starving themselves, made up a collection amounting to $137. Profuse thanks were sent back, saving that the Protestant Armenians in.Moab had re- ceived 15 cents each. Some time later two old elders of these people stood at our mission gates. On being admitted, they asked Miss Butterfield where the pastor could be seen. “Th: pastor is in America,” she replied. “Who is Bis sub- stitute?”” “I am doing what I can,”” she sald. “Then you are our pastor and we come here to our mother American church to ask your counsel in a serious mat- ter. We are but a little remnant of the Armenians. We know not if any others survive. If we say, ‘There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet, they will spare our lives and care for us. Of course, we would say it only with our lips. When the war is over we would be Christians. Shall we say it, and save a handful of our race?” ; What could she say? She was just recovering from sickness which had been unto death. She had been to the pearly gates, and her Lord had said, “Will you enter with me, or will you go back?” Qur. ladies, standing over her, could not understand her weeping, but afterwards she told them of it all, and that she said‘ “Dear Jesus, I do so want to go with you, but 1 must go back to care for those starving people.” Now these two elders wait her answer.

They knew that the war was going to last long, that the forces, fighting for honor, right, justice, civilization were still held in check by forees which, for a long time, had been trained in the service of bru- tality, oppression, barbarism. They knew that additional efforts were needed. They wanted to help us. They also generously remembered old historical ties, when others had forgotten more recent ones. ‘They knew all about the war; nothing had been hidden from them. They knew of the length and the hardships of the war, the fury of the battles, the frightfulness of the methods of warfare, the perfidy of the enemy. Nothing held them back. They submitted to a hard, strenuous life; they crossed the ocean in the face of great dangers; they came to the front, lined up beside us, and they fell facing the enemy in the midst of a most furious fight. All honor to them! Their families, their friends, their fellow citizens may well be proud on hearing of the way they died. “These graves, the first American graves on French soil, only a few paces fiom the enemy, show the powerful hand of the United States and the grim de- termination of the American pegple and the American army to fight with us to the end, through all necessary sacrifices. for the most noble cause; the freedom of all nations, great and small. “This gives to the death of a modest Corporal and two privates a truly sol- emn grandeur.
