Banana Short-Cake.

Banana shOrtcake is very good sub
stitute for strawberry shortcake and
is made in exactly the same manner.
The cake is baked, cut open and spread
with butter. The bananas, sliced and
sugared, are put between the layers
and over the top If preferred. Like
strawberry shortcake, this is much i'm
proved if whipped cream is poured
over it, but. like strawberry shortcake
again, 1t is delicious without the cream.

OLDFIELD'S AUTOMOBILE
KILLS TWO MEN
Noted Chauffer Drives Auto Into Rail
at ST. Louis Fair Grounds.

st. Louis: Blinded by dust and
travelling over a dust laden track at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, Bar
ney Oldfeld of Cleveland, Ohio, driv-
ing a 24-horse power automobile rae
ing car known as the Green Drag
on" in a race at the Fair Grounds
Sunday afternoon, crashed through
the fence on the lower turn, snuffing
out the life of one man, fatally in
juring another and bruising and cut
ting himself so severely that he had
to be assisted off the track. The
injured men were John Scott of 2211
Adams street, an employee of the
track, and Nathan Montgomery, col
ored, of 4156 Lee avenue, a stable
hand. Scott was completely disem-
boweled and both legs were cut off
close to the hips, dying almost in
stantly. Montgomery was badly man
gled, being lacerated in the vicinity
of the inguinal region, his thigh bone
broken, chest crushed in and a deep
cash inflicted in the abdomen. Mont
gomery was rushed to the city hos
pital, but no earthly power could save
his life, and he died at 7:15 from
the effects of his injuries.
Oldheld's car was smashed TO splin-
tiers, the steering wheel being bent
double; two cylinders of the motor
cracked, the steering gear demolished
and the remaining part of the mech
anism totally destroyed Oldfeld was
able to leave the ruins of the car
without assistance and was taken to
the clubhouse. The extent of his in
juries was not announced until a
second examination had been made at
the Baptist sanitarium, to which he
was taken in an ambulance. A hasty
examination at the clubhouse by DR..
Neville, track physician, failed to re-
veal any serious injuries. He sus-
tanned superficial injuries to his ankle
and cuts on the head ana chest.
At the sanitarium he made the
declaration that this was the last race
that he would ever enter,

RUSSlAN-GERMAN
ALLIANCE RUMoRED
Asserts Gar Is Disposed to Aid the
Kaiser In Several Sections.

st. Petersburg: Rumors that a
Russo-German alliance Is practically
superseding the Russo French alliance
are gaining in consistency, and are
attracting the attention of the
students of international affairs. The
old distrust of radical France is re-
viving.
Some Of the cars most responsible
advisers fear that political events
may happen in France at any moment
that would rob the alliance OF all
real value. Russians say that IL the
Combes government should succumb
TO a radical coalition Clemenceau
would succeed to power.
Clemenceau is the traditional enemy
of Russia. The moral of these reaec-
lions, from their point Of view, is to
unite with Germany, which is less
vulnerable than France to popular In
fuence, and less inclined to yield to
the Establishments of Brittania.
Apparently the only thing which can
prevent the capitalization Of present
tendencies into a definite treaty is the
ultimate refusal Of Germany to go that
length.
1t is recognized that Germany's ben
evidence for Russia stops just short
of malevolence for Japan, but only
the most sanguine Russian observers
imagine that the willy kaiser could be
drawn into hard and fast agreement
to bolster up the dubious structure
of MuscoVite power.
Russia Would Gladly Aid Germany.
Stockholm A letter just received
by a Swedish statesman from an Of
fetal correspondent in st. Petersburg
contains the following sentences:
Few things are more certain than
that the two great military powers OF
Europe, Russia and Germany, are
heading toward a reciprocal arrange
ment, surprising in practical import
ance any political deal of recent times.
1T is a mistake to assume that the
anti-German comment in a section of
the Russian press represents anything
substantial. Indeed, the cars cab
met is so highly pleased with Ger.
many's treatment of Russia during
this war that it is disposed to aid
that friendly nation in Europe, Asia
Minor and China. The kaiser's readi-
ness to favor the car in the far East
amounts to a passion, albeit a regu-
lated passion. He wants Russia deep
ly involved there to ease the pres
sure on Germany's frontier and clear
the way for German expansion in the
near East"

SNOW PREDICTS
WHEAT SHORTAGE
Estimates Entire Yield VIII BE Little
over 5oo,ooo,ooo Bushels.

Chicago: B. w. Snow. the crop ex-
pert, says the condition of winter
and spring wheat combined is probably
under 40, the lowest figure ever
reached. on the basis of the official
estimate of acreage, he says, this
years crop can be but little more than
500,000000 bushels. He said:
Complete threshing returns develop
the fact that the rate of yield in the
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri valleys
has fallen very much short of the ex-
pectations entertained when the crop
was cut. The quality is also generally
poor, shrunken from rust in Ohio, In.
diana, Michigan and Nebraska, and
bleached or damaged by harvest rains
in Missouri and Kansas.
Returns to date fully confirm the
claims Of loss in spring wheat, Ne
braska and the Dakotas being equally
involved in the disaster, with Wis
consin, Iowa and Minnesota but little
better. Where threshing has been
done in Nebraska and South Dakota
the return is so meager and quality
inclination to refrain from threshing a
considerable portion of what was cut.
In Minnesota and North Dakota large
part Of the crop is unharvested at a
date when threshing should be we'll
under way"
The expert also declares that con-
ditions do not warrant corn crop Of
more than 2,35O,OOO,OOO this year. Last
years crop amounted to 2,44O, O00,O 900
bushels. He said:
my current reports on corn, cover
ing fully one-third of the corn counties,
do not confirm the recent claims of
crop Improvement. These reports show
q decline in condition since August 1
of fully points, heaviest in the com
mercial states, amounting to s points
in Ohio, is in Indiana, in Illinois,
/ in Iowo, 6 in Missouri, 1 in Kansas
and 10 in Nebraska"

$1,000 BUTCHERS
CALLED FROM WORK
Independent Packlng-House Employees
Ordered to Strike.

Chicago: Aiming to shut of the
supply of union meat all over the
country, the leaders in the packing
house strike Wednesday called out
the livestock handlers at the Chicago
Stock Yards, and issued orders extend
ing the strike of butcher workmen to
every independent packing plant in
the United States.
Six hundred stock handlers quit
work Wednesday, and it is expected
the butchers will strike Saturday.
The packers say it is Donnelly's aim
to create a meat famine, which he
calculates would arouse a suffering
public to such a pitch of indignation
that the packers would be forced to
arbitration.
Fifteen thousand butchers who have
remained at work in independent
plants throughout the United States
are affected by the strike order.
The strikers have increased their
pickets more than tenfold. It is
claimed that there now are more than
10000 men doing picket duty in the
vicinity of the stock yards. The order
has been given the pickets to permit
no nonunion men to enter or leave the
yards.
The railroad switchmen are also in
volved in the strike, which, with all
its ramifications throughout the coun-
try, now promises graver possibilities
Of a meat famine than at any time
since the struggle began.
Dispatches received Wednesday
night from Kansas City. ST. Joseph,
st. Paul and Omaha say that no at.
tention whatever is being paid to the
latest order, and it has been received

RIOTERS ATTACK STREET
CARS AND TRAIN
Managers Of East Side Plants Say
They'WiII Appeal to the Governor.

East st. Louis, ILL.,: There was more
rioting and several persons were hurt
in East st. Louis Thursday. In the
early morning a number of strikers
attacked street cars filled with pas
sengers, some of whom were workmen
bound for the packing houses at the
National stock yards. 1t is stated
that as soon as the cars of the East
st. Louis street car company passed
the Baltimore and Ohio railway
tracks strikers, who were concealed
in the tall weeds by the side Of the
road, threw missiles of all kinds into
the cars and many persons were more
or less injured.
James Johnson, Bertha Walker,
Charlotte Karuth, Charles Simon and
Leo Skegar were struck by brickbats.
The crowd ran after Simon and Ske-
gar for several blocks. They caught
both Of the men and beat them Sc
verely. Johnson, who attempted to
run away, was hit with a brick just as
he left the car and he fell to the side
walk badly injured. He was taken to
the Henrietta hospital.
The arrival of the police stopped
the mob from severely injuring any al
the other passengers on the cars.
Thursday night when the bull
train" left the stock yards it was at
tackled. Fully 1000 men sprang from
the underbrush and the weeds at the
side of the road near the Black bridge.
Rocks, bricks, clubs and pieces of iron
were thrown at the windows, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Cashell was on the
train. He fired his pistol into the air
and called his assistants to jump off
and follow him. The strikers who
had thrown the missiles dispersed.
Cashell and his men jumped back on
the rear end of the moving train, which
went ON unmolested. The manage
ment of the stock yards plants claim
that two of their men and one woman
were injured. They state that they
have no general protection and will
appeal to the governor for assistance.
Rioting. they say, takes place every
night outside the city limits. Some
Of the men, 1t is said, are beaten and
never appeal to the police for pro-
lection.

HOLDS OFFICIALS CULPABLE
Jury Places the Responsibility for
Boys Death on Motorman.

st. Louis: The Coroner's jury on
Thursday morning held Charles Do
ran, a motorman, and the officials of
the Transit company guilty of culpable
negligence in the operation of the car
which struck Earl Miller, the 6-year-
old boy from Anthony, Kas., who was
killed by a westbound Olive car at
Ninteenth street Wednesday evening.
In it's report the jury declared that
the evidence showed that the car
was not slowing up for the Ninteenth
street crossing, and that the motorman
made no attempt to stop until it struck
the child. The jury also stated that
the evidence showed that the car was
going at too rapid rate of speed
Motorman Doran was placed on the
stand and was asked several questions
concerning the rules of the Transit
Company. His testimony regarding
rules concerning the handling of cars
by motormen did not prevent the jury
from holding the Transit toffcials
equally guilty with himself.
Doran, who was arrested shortly
after the accident, is still a prisoner
at the Central District Police Station.
A transcript of the evidence was
sent to Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Dalton.
