With a severe northeast gale sweep
ing the Atlantic Coast. the target
practice Of the Atlantic feet off the
Virginia Capes was disarranged yes
terday. The wind was accompanied
by a steady rain and a mist hung
over the water making it impos-
sible to see target 80 yards away.
The mist was so thick at Cape Henry
that the Government observer could
not distinguish passing ships. The
wind reached velocity of 60 miles.
The seas became too rough for the
tcrpedo-boat destroyers and many of
them sought shelter in Lynn Haven
Bay and Hampton Roads.
That the elimination of Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz as power in the
German government is foreshadowed
by the news that he is to take an ex-
tended vacation is the general
belief in London. The impression is
that the orders sent to Ambassador
Won Bernstorf to placate the United
States came direct from Emperor
William and that the Kaiser was an.
gered by the attitude of the origina-
tor of submarine warfare against
merchant. shipping. 1t s:recalled that

cation by Field Marshal Won Moltke
when the Kaiser became dissatisfied
with his conduct Of field operations.

Having guided the three ball players TO
their seats, the machinery of destiny be-
gan to revolve rapidly
While the first act was in progress
Schultz, half asleep in the back of the
box, was amazed to see a young lady
enter, look about her disdainfully, sniff
a few times and take a seat as far away
from him as possible. She was all of
years old.
"Heyl Look who's herel" said Schultz.
Sweeney and Sanguinetti were surprised,
too Sangulnetti thought the young lady
might be lost. He asked her about it.
She regarded him with scorn
'Lost?" said the little lady. "Well, 1
sh'd say not! 1 sing with my mamma in

suddenly. "She sings up hier in dis box,

"Stck around!" said Sweeney. ut won't
come off until the last act"
Schultz collapsed, mumbling, and the
young lady smoothed her fluffy skirts and
shifted contemptuously.
Destiny, in order to play out the hand,
was using the press agent of the house.
press agent is a young man whose
business II Is to get the name of his
show into print as often as possible, no
matter what the city editors think about
him.
This press agent. whose name was Har-
ley O. Walker, was a live wire. He was
the livest wire in st. Louis. He kept in
touch with the doings OF his professional
brethren in the East, and when a new
press-agent stunt appeared on Broadway
Harley Q. annexed it for ST. Louis Con-
sequently, when a baby elephant walked
down the nisle of a New York theatre
and handed bouquet over the footlights
to the leading lady Walker knew about
it. Great idea! Bully stun! But baby
elephants are scarce, and none was to
be found in st. Louis. What to do now?
Harley Q. slapped his broad high fore
head and reelected deeply Aha! There
was troupe of performing baboons ap-
pearing at summer garden in the city
Mr.. Walker was saved.
1t took some time to make the arrange
ments, The man who trained the baboons
demanded money, 1t was pointed out to
him that he would secure a great deal of
advertising, which was better than money.
After some talk he capitulated. Then the
balloons had to be trained to march down
the aisle carrying bouquets. There were
eight OF them, and they were particularly
homely brutes, but, like most unhand-
some people, they were sagacious
They took to the bouquet-carrying act
like 42d street tohnnies. Excellent! Mr..
Harley Q. Walker was pleased with him
self, the management was pleased with
him and the newspaper men would be on
hand to watch the parade or the flower
ing haboons Mr.. Walker calculated that
1t should be worth a column and pictures
to every paper In town.

it, as he drank nothing but beer, any
way, and very little OF that. But he
warmly applauded the idea of his friends
making trial trip. Schultz was black
and blue from the neck to the heels as
result of the last mess of trouble which
Sweeney had found for him, and he well
coined signs of reform. Schultz was not
quarrelsome by nature; he was always
saddest when down on the floor with
three or four perfect strangers. There
never was a German who did not agree
with Uncle Billy Sherman about the war
business.
So the International Alliance devoted
