NEVER LEARNED THE TRUTH
csllow Youngsters Might Have Re
pented OF Their Condemnation ~
They Had but Known.

Youth and presumably Innocence
were waiting at French goods coun-
ter while the clerk wrapped up Jars Of
pink stuff which they didn't need.
Each was audacious in the matter of
short skirts, and both we're chewing
gum.
On a stool at the same counter sat
another customer. a woman just facing
the agony line which separates beauty
from vandal Age And Youth and In
nocence felt called on to dissect her.
They banded impressions as to the
woman's looks, and giggled over her
desperate attempts to retain her com
plexion and age. Their sharp young
eyes took in the nobby dress that was
almost shabby, and their sharp young
voices would have stabbed her to the
quick except that she seemed to be
walled in by some concentrated
thought that clustered her from their
blows.
II betshees bad"
The gum-stuck verdict came from
Innocence, whose lawful place at that
minute should have been in some
eighth-grade schoolroom.
"Uccorse. Anybodyk'n tell that.
Whodjespose would lookatarole NUT
like herr"
Then Youth and Innocence, without
explaining how they came to be so
sordidly enlightened at their callow
years, suddenly switched interest to
their Yrapped-up stuff. and That
was all there was to 1t.
Except that the woman, having
bought and paid for her own little box
of something. got up and hurried to the
store entrance, where another woman
stopped to congratulate her on some
appointment obtained by her son:
Isn't it splendid! Papa and | are
so proud Of him-I'm especially glad
for papa, because he has been Sc de-
pressed ever since his last attack

1t is coming out in the aftermath
that the result in Indiana was largely
influenced by political priests and
preachers. Hon. John w. Boehne in

Gospel representing seven different
German Protestant denominations.

flying sickness is not comparable in
the strict sense with mountain sick

OF the symptoms are more or less

Japanese Turn to Dye Making.

The Japanese are apparently going
to take up dye making. now that Ger
man products cannot be obtained and
the plan has been taken up by private
enterprise, assisted by government. A
number of business men we're invited
to the department of agriculture and
commerce one day lately and shown
the draft law for the announcement
of the manufacture of drugs and dye
stuffs The vice-minister Of agricul-
ture and commerce reported particu-

and invited those present to give their
views, without reserve, regarding the
establishment of company. 1t was
subsequently decided that those pres
ent should consider the matter, and
give their views later.

CHOATE SAYS WILSON
EXHAUSTED PATIENCE
President Can Change Mind, and
People Their President.

Joseph II. Choate, honorary presi-
dent of the National Security League,
took amid rap at President Wilson
in a talk before more than 800 members
Of the league in the Hotel Astor roof
garden yesterday afternoon.
"There is but one drawback in spread
ing our gospel of preparedness" said
he. "That is the difference that has
arisen between the late Secretary of
War and the President. The difference,
apparently. was over how 100000 men
should be put at the call Of the gov
ernment in time Of stress.
Judging from correspondence be-
tween the President and the Secretary
Of War. the President changed hls
mind. But the President ia at perfect
liberty to change his mind, and the
people are at liberty TO change their
President. We must proceed until this
country is adequately prepared. The
President urges patience, and patience
is. obviously, a virtue. But ] am in
clined to believe that the patience OF
the people Of this country will extend
only until November Z, 1916"
Pointing out the inadequscy Of the
national guard for military purposes,
Frederic r. Coudert said: 81 have
nothing against the national guard. But
that it Is unequipped for real service
was shown, for instance, in the Spanish
War" He then told at length Of the
inefficiency end of the petty politics
which handicapped the volunteer
troops with which he served In 1888.

proof that Oscar Edward Philipsen Is

Had it not been for four gold teeth
and an unusual growth in Philipsen's

impossible to identify the body of the

found who recognize the teeth and the
growth.

CARS FORCES
WIN ERZERUM
Continued from page I

pitulate was based on the fact that the
remaining nine forts were of consider
,bly less Importance than those al
ready in Russian hands and could be
readily Asnked, or even ignored, in
forcing the evacuation of the Turkish
stronghold.
The taking Of the first fort is be
lieved to have destroyed the plan of
defence, since the impregnability Of
Erzerum rested on the assumption of
the German engineers who constructed
the fortifcstions that the position was
safe against assault from the south.
In spite OF intense cold and deep
snow. the Russian troops took Kop
Mountain by storm and dealt the Turks
the first staggering blow. Having
driven them from this position, the
Russian artillery broke through and
fanked the other positions, which went
like a house of cards.
The Caucasian campaign derived
great benefit from the Russian domina-
tiOn Of the Black Sea, which enabled
the army 10 receive plentiful supply
Of provisions and munitions. The num-
Der of men garrisoning the Turkish po-
sition before the recent retreat of the
Turkish army was estimated at $4,000
These numbers are believed TO have
been considerably augmented by the
falling back of the Turks upon this
position.
The victory has been received here
with the same spirit of enthusiasm as
marked the fall Of Przemysl nearly a
year ago. Contrasting with the taking
OF that fortress, which entailed long
and painful investment, Erzerum is the
first instance of strong fortress being
taken by a whirlwind assault.

WATERS CAN'T ENDURE
HEALTH BOARD SINGERS
Union 10 Ask Mayor TO Muzzle
Prohibition Ballads.

Prohibition songs have driven officers
of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Union to seek protection from reform
ers that sing them. William Lehman.
business agent of the union, says that
officers OF the City Health Department
sing them at mass meetings and enter
tsinments with such telling effect that
the worst elements In a man are
aroused.
"I'm going 10 call on Mayor Mitchell
60 muzzle those song singing prohibi-
tonists of the Health Department" said
Mr.. Lehman yesterday. They are max
ing themselves public nuisances every
place they go by singing the atrocious
songs
1T is plain that the public does not
want 10 hear such songs, and If II did
am sure that nobody would call In a
Health Department physician 70 sing
them 10 him. The time he needs a
physician is after hearing the songs"
Mr. Lehman complains that city en-
ployes are trying TO injure a business
in which 100000 of the eity's taxpayers
are engaged.

Employees Act Foiled
Chicago Poison Plotter

Chicago, Feb. 16.-The act OF some
person, presumably an employe of the
University Club, was responsible for
saving the lives of those who attended
the Archbishop Mundelein banquet last
Thursday night.
Who this man is or what he did that
saved more than 100 persons from far
graver danger than slight arsenical
poisoning the police refused 20 disclose
tonight. IL is believed both these
facts will be disclosed in a sensational
new revelation promised by the police
in regard to the case tomorrow. An
official of the department summed up
this new development thus:
"The guests themselves do not yet
even dream Of what danger they were
in. When they do learn they will be
dumfounded."
Captain Morgan Collins was respon.
sible for the statement that the plan
miscarried Whether this plan had to
do with a more virulent poison or with
a bomb plot he would not say. He de-
clared emphatically, however, that II
was not one-man job and that devel-
opments would bear out his statement
According 70 information brought 70
me, IL was not arsenic alone that pois-
oned those at the banquet" said Cap
tain Collins.
"lf arsenic was used, as the chemists
have found, it was only secondary
poison, and not the one intended to kill
! believe 1t was intended to kill every
person who attended that banquet"
The woman In the case is known 70
have returned TO Chicago on Friday,
and Detectives Prendergast and Goggin
were detailed to find her. IL was
learned she had visited a Mrs Lewis
for the purpose, it Is said. Of acting as
a go-between for the latter's husband,
who is estranged from her. and who is
now living IN Chicago.

ATTORNEYS AID
BRANDEISNQUIRY
Each Side Represented by
Counsel Before the Sen
ate Committee.

Washington, Feb. I6.-Cross-exami-
nation OF Sidney w. Winslow, president
Of the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany, regarding his charges Of unpro-
fessional conduct against Louis D..
Brandeis, featured tho hearing to-day
and tonight before the Senate sub
committee investigating Mr.. Brandeis's
fitness for the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
Early in the day the committee ac-
copted the services of G. ". Anderson,
District Attorney of Boston. 70 look
after the interests of Mr.. Brandes dur
ing the inquiry, as Austen G. Fox, Of
New York, had been sent 70 the hearing
TO represent A. Lawrence Lowell, presi-
dent Of Harvard University. and a
group of Boston attorneys opposed to
Mr.. Brandeis's confirmation.
In his examination of Mr.. WiIslow,
Mr.. Anderson sought TO show that Mr..
Brandeis had urged the United Shoe
Machinery Company TO change the
tying" clause IN It's leases before suits
were brought against IT by the govern
nent, and that he severed all relations
With the company because Winslow re-
fused to change the leases.
Mr.. Anderson introduced In evidence
a pamphlet entitled "Brandeis VS..
Brandeis, the Reversible Mind" which
the witness identified as one his com
pany had issued several years ago A
long contention arose as TO the intro
duction and value of the document
Partial copies OF the bill book of the
Brsndeis law firm had been introduced
previously, showing that the firm
handled only two cases for the shoe
machinery company after Brandeis re
signed as director of the company.
Company Against Branfeis,
Turning TO one page Of the pamphlet
Mr.. Anderson read the statement: ut
appeared in spite OF his quickened con
science Mr. Brandeis continued to act
as counsel for tho company for three
years after he resigned as director"
DO you think that fair state
ment" inquired Mr.. Anderson.
isn't IL true?" responded Mr.. Wins
low.
"But do you think II fairl"
Having in mind the attitude Mr..
Brandeis was taking st the time
against the company, the statement
was, I think, very much fairer than
the statements Mr.. Brandeis was max
ing to committees Of Congress"

DANIELS ACCEPTS
BERNSTORFF'S VIEW
viii Authorize Modification of
Wireless Regulations In Force
at SayVille, N. Y.

Washington, Feb. 1e. 60 Secretary
Daniels announced to-day that he would
authorize modification of the reguls-
tions under which wireless dispatches
are censored by naval officers, so as 70
permit, when no violation OF neutrality
was involved, the passage Of messages
referring 70 naval vessels and opera
tions Of belligerent ships.
This announcement was made soon
after Count Won Bernstorf, the Ger
man Ambassador, had asked the state
Department for an explanation OF the
rejection by the American naval CEN
sors at Sayville, y. Y, of wireless dis
patches from Berlin, containing official
announcements from the Admiralty,
which the British censors had passed
for publication in England.
The specific instance complained OF
was the suppression Of the official an
nouncement Of the German Admiralty
Of the sinking in the North Sea Of the
British cruiser Arabs on February IL.
News reporting the loss of the Arabs
reached the United States from Berlin
via London, passing the British cen
sorship.
Mr. Daniels explained that censors
had acted under the existing regula-
tVNt uIhllel py pOhrO OF naval Vln
GERS after al exhaustive study of the
question Of radio censorship, and pro
hibi,ing the transmission into this
country of any message referring 20
movements or location Of wsr or other
vessels OF bellgerents." The object Of
the regulation, he said, was 20 prevent
violations Of neutrality by the admis-
sion of dispatches containing informa-
tion of n military value which might
be used by agents Of a belligerent ma
tion in this country.
In cases OF information coming Off
cially from a foreign government. and
also printed in the territory of an en-
cmy country, the Secretary said, he be
lieved the prohibition could be re-
moved. The subject will be called TO
the attention Of the navy board to-
morrow.
