No Investigation.

The state public service commits
sion made no investigation or tests
before granting the Laclede Gas Light
Co. permission to change the form
of gas furnished to consumers and to
revise its schedule of rates. 1t did
not consider the relative merits of
the candlepower standard and the
heat unit standard.
At the office of the commission it
was said that the burden of making
such tests was properly placed on the
city of st. Louis.
If the new heat unit system is dis
covered unsatisfactory the only re-
course will be to file with the public
service commission a petition asking
that the order be vacated and writ
of Intervention will be grantd.
A the rehearing each side will pre-
sent its case. The advantage of early
ACTON would be that should the order
be vacated the new rates would be
suspended until definite action was
taken at the rehearing. The commits
sion is in session the entire year.

London, England.-There is accumu-
lating evidence that the consumption
of alcohol, despite the efforts of the
board of liquor control, has diminished
but little, if at all, and that it is still
seriously affecting national efficiency,
both in war work and other vital in
dustries.
AS a result there has been formed
the strength of Britain" movement,
which was organized by business men
who heretofore have not been con-
nected with temperance work. They
will soon present to parliament a me-
mortal demanding a suspension Of the
liquor traffic during the war on the
ground of national duty to Great Brit
aims allies, to the army and the fleet
and TO conserving the strength of the
nation for present dangers and future
needs. The signatories to the me-
mortal include leading citizens in all
parts of the country.

HANLY NOMINEE Of
DRY CONVENTION
LANDRETH OF TENNESSEE is
NAMED FOR VICE PRESIDENT

CLOSED UP WITH DOXOLOGY
Platform Adopted as Recommended
by Committee, Except Inltia-
tive, Referendum and Recall
Planks Are Inserted.

st. Paul, Mimi. Frank Hanly
former governor of Indiana, was nomi-
mated for president of the United
States on the Prohibition ticket and
Rev. Ira d. Landreth of Nashville,
Tenn, was named for the vice presi-
dency at the concluding session of the
party's national convention.
Mr.. Hanly's nomination came on the
first ballot and followed a number
of hurried conferences between advo-
Gates of the candidacy of William
Sulzer, former governor of New York,
and several brief demonstrations in
the latter's behalf, which, however
were offset by the outbursts of en-
thusiasm that followed every mention
of Hanly's name.
The vote for Hanly was decisive
He received 440 votes as against 181
for Sulzer. Finley c. Hendrickson of
Cumberland, Md, received 81 votes;
James Gilbert Mason of New Jersey,
10; w. P. F. Ferguson of Pennsylva-
mia, 4; Sumner w. Haynes of Indiana,
2, and Henry Ford of Detroit 1.
A motion to make Mr.. Hanly's NOM
ination unanimous was defeated when
objections were offered by Eugene W.
Chafin of Arizona, Charles ]. Hall of
California and a score of other dele
gates.
DR.. Landreth was nominated unani-
mously by a rising vote after all other
candidates for the vice presidency,
among them Mr.. Hendrickson, had
withdrawn.
After the nomination of DR.. Ian
dreth the assembly arose, sang the
doxology and ended six-hour session
marking the close of the three-day
convention.
The party platform, with only one
change in the draft presented by the
resolutions committee-the insertion
of a plan declaring in favor of the in
itiative. referendum and recall-was
adopted early in the session.

CAMPAIGN IS BEGUN
HIGH GRADE GERMANS SEEK
HONORABLE CONCLUSION.
Hollweg to Support compro-
mise Movement.

Berlin, Germany.-"The German Ma
tional Committee for Securing an Hon
orable Peace" has drafted an address
to the country which will be published
within few days calling for the sup
port of Chancellor Won Bethman-Holl-
veg and the influencing of public opin-
ion in the direction of moderate peace
aims.
The signatures attached to the ad-
dress indicates the importance of the
movement. They include Prince Won
Wedel, general adjutant to the emper-
or; Philip Heineken, director of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany; Paul Won Schwaback, director
of the Bleichroder bank; Prof. Adolph
Harnack and many important manu-
facturers, merchants, professors and
others.
The address outlines the aims of
the committee, steering a course be-
tween the pacifists and the Unsuitable
plans of the pan-Germans, which it
characterizes as annexation lunacy."
1t emphasizes the fact that the con-
troversy of the last few weeks be-
tween the peace advocates and the
annexationists has had a harmful eff
feet and that therefore it is now nee
essary for the moderates to organize
and create uniform views concerning
a basis of peace.

ARREDoNDo AND POLK CON.
TINuE TO HOLD CONFER
ENCES.
WILSON TO MEET DEMANDS
Evidence of v. S. Good Intentions
! Shown by Pershing's Gradual APP
proach to 5order-Another
Angle to the Quarrel.

Washington-Definite decision upon
the proposed commission plan OF set
lling the difficulties between this
country and Mexico is expected this
week.
Acting Secretary of State Polk is
expected to hold daily conferences
with Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador
designate OF the de facto government,
until some conclusion is reached.
Grave apprehension was expressed
about the outcome of these confer
ences. In marked contrast to the OPP
timism last week, it was stated that
the negotiations were practically at
a standstill Tor lack of any reply from
the City of Mexico in regard to sub
stitute proposals informally suggested
by this government regarding the
scope of the issues to be determined
through the commission.
A principal snag is understood to
be the insistence of Carranza that
the commission shall discuss the mat
ter of Gen. Pershings withdrawal
from Mexico. The position of the
United States is that the army was.
sent into Mexico for military pur-
poses, and that it's withdrawal is up to
the president and not matter to be
settled by negotiators of the two gov
ernments.
The indication of this government.
TO meet, SO far as possible, the Car
rama suggestions in this regard has
been pointed out, it is understood, in
the conferences at the state depart
ment.
Arredondo has been told that the
withdrawal of the American forces al
most 200 miles from the point reached
by Gen. Pershing's advance guard in
the hunt for Villa, shows that the
United States desires to go no farther
into Mexico than is necessary to &C
complish the purposes of the expedi-
ton.
1t is admitted by officials that the
activities of the bandits about Parral
might form subject of consideration
by the commission if one was decided
upon. 1t is said that such operations
would have no effect upon the nego-
tons looking to a commission, as.
Villa is recognized as a bandit, and
this government has tacitly accepted
Carranza's statement that his sup
posed activity has nothing to do with
the de facto government.

To Be Placed on War Footing.

The Missouri National Guards, all
will be recruited to a war strength Of
1000 at once, according to an an
nouncement by Mai Charles Miller,
U. s. A., commanding the military
reservation. About 1000 are needed,
Mai Miller said. The men will be
taken TO Nevada, Mo-, drilled several
weeks and then sent. to Laredo.
There are more than 5000 men with
the Missouri organization at Laredo.
The 1000 additional men will be
added as rapidly as recruited, equip
ped, armed and clothed drilled in
the manual of arms, trained to shoot
with rifle and revolver, and in a
month or two forwarded to the Mis-
souri, brigade at Laredo, where they
will be attached to such organiza-
tions as may be designated by Cen
Clark, according to Maj Miller's state
ment.
Regular army recruiting officers
stationed at st. Louis, Kansas City,
Springfield, Hannibal, Sedalia, Mar
shall and Joplin have been instructed
to receive recruits for the national
guard. According to Maj Miller, Of
ficers and men who have been re-
jected by the mastering officers can
now re-enlist in the national guard
and serve as recruiting officers. For
a limited time all applicants viii be
received and examined at the regu-
lar army recruiting stations above
named.
After a sufficient number has been
enlisted, however, recruits will be
forwarded and organized into recruit
ing details of one officer, one SER
geant, one corporal and a Lrivate each
and sent to all the cities and larger
towns in the state. whore applicants
for service on the border will be re
ceived and examined.
Those who are accepted for border
service will then be brought 20 Ne.
vada to he drilled Until the national
guard recruiting staff is organized,
applicants for border will be received
Miller said. Applications Of officers
duty will also be received by the
camp quartermaster here.
When the Missouri brigade was
sent to the border some of the com
panies were recruited only to the
strength provided in the old law, So
med to the infantry unit, but since
the new military law has gone into
effect it has been found necessary
to recruit the companies to the full
peace strength provided therein, 100
men to the company.
The war strength under the new law
is $50 men to the company, but the or
CARNATIONS are not filled to that num-
Der unless so ordered by the pres
ident.
