WOULD STOP SALE
Petition Against st. Louis Rail-
road Filed by BOndholders.
Creditors Should Come First,
Claim of Plaintiff.

st. Louis, Aug. IA petition attack
ing the recent sale at foreclosure of
the st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road and asking that the court with
hold approval of the sale until urse-
cured creditors are provided for T-as
filed in the federal district court here.
The suit was filed by bondholders
of the Cape Girardeau & Northern
which was sold to the Frisco system
a short time before the latter went
into receivership. Frisco bonds were
given in payment for the Cape Gil
rardeau & Northern but the receiv-
ers refused to recognize the purchase
as valid, as it had not received the
sanction of the Frisco stockholders.
The bonds finally came into the pos
session of the st. Louis Union Trust
company. the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Cape Girardeau. the Jefferson
bank of ST. Louis, the Lead Belt bank
OF Pennington, Mo-, and the I. ].
Moss Tie company. These concerns
and Louis Houck builder of the Cape
Girardeau & Northern, brought the
suit filed today.
The petition says that in the reor-
ganization, stockholders of the old
Frisco system receive stock and bonds
in the new.
1t is claimed that creditors should
come first, and that before the fore
closure sale of the Frisco is approved
creditors should receive the value of
their claims. They claim that they
were offered stock in the new Frisco
for the bonds they hold if their claim
should be found valid but they ot ject
to taking stock. as for five years the
stock will be voted by trustees They
also claim that there is little prospect
of dividends being paid on Frisco stock
for long time.

Urges Men to Fight On for
Honor of Fatherland.

ceived here today from Berlin. has
issued the following proclamation to
the German forces:
Comrades, the second year of the
war has elapsed. Like the first year
it was for Germany's arms. year of
glory. On all fronts you inflicted new
and heavy blows on the enemy.
Whether the enemy retreated,
borne down by the force of your at
lacks, or whether reinforced by for
eign assistance collected and pressed
into service from all parts of the
world. he tried to rob you of the
fruits of former victories you always
proved yourselves superior to him.
Even where England tyranny was
uncontested, namely on the free waves
or the sea, you VIGOROUSLY fought
against superiority. Your kaiser's APP
probation and your grateful country's
proud admiration are assured &c you
for these deeds. for your mistaken
loyalty, for your bold daring and for
your tenacious bravery.
But the strength and will of the
enemy are not yet broken. We must
continue the severe struggle in order
to secure the safety of our beloved
home land. to preserve the honor of
the fatherland and the greatness of
the empire.
"WILHELM,
Main Headquarters"
Message to War Minister.
Berlin, Aug Emperor William
today sent the following message to
Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg, the i'm
perial chancellor:
For the second time the anniver-
sary of the day arrives when our enc
mics forced me to call Germany's sons
to arms to protect the honor and ex-
istence of the empire.
1.-The German nation has been
through two years of unprecedentedly
heroic deeds and suffering. The army
and navy, in union with our loyal and
brave allies have gained the highest
glory in attack and defense. Many
thousand of our brethren have sealed
their loyalty to the fatherland with
their blood.
I'm the west and in the east cur
heroic men in the field resist in I'M
shaken fortitude the terrible onslaught
of the enemy.
Our young fleet on that glorious
day in the Skagerrak inflicted heavy
blow on the Briti.N navy. Deeds of
sacrifice and loyal comradeship at the
front glow brightly before my eyes.
Hcroism at Home, Too.
AT nome also we see heroiSm. Men

and bravely wearing mourning. and
the anxiety of all who organize and
help lessen the suffering caused by the
war and of all who labor, day and
night. INCREASINGLY, to supply our
fighting brothers in the trenches and
at sea with the necessary armament.
Our enemy's hopes to outstrip our
production of war materials will prove
as unattainable as was their plan to
secure by starvation what their sw ord

tifuily than we dared to hope South

TO SUFFS
Rallies to Standard of Woman
Suffrage Cause.
Says Amendment Should Be
Submitted and Ratified.

New York. Aug. Charles E.
Hughes today declared for woman
suffrage amendment TO the constitu-
zion in telegram sent George Suther-
land of Utah.
MY view is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified" the Republican candidate
said in his telegram to the Utah SEN
ator.
The telegram, which evokes
Eughes's declaration for a federal
amendment for equal suffrage, was as
follows:
Asks His View on 1t.
You will no doubt recall our con-
versation a few days ago when 1
urged you to make public your views
with regard to the equal suffrage
federal amendment. 1 feel quite sure
there is nothing in the Republican
platform which in any manner would
conflict with such a declaration. The
platform commits the party to the
principle of woman's suffrage and rec
ognizes the right of each state to de-
termine the question for itself 1t is
silent upon the subject of the consti-
tutional amendment, and therefore
leaves everybody of the party free to
determine for himself this question.
The amendment is desired by
many millions of voters and I think
the day has come when congress
should recognize the widespread de-
submission and thus enabling the
states to pass upon the question which,
without the preliminary action of con-
gress, they would be prevented from
doing. There is a feeling of intense
interest in all these suffrage states in
respect to your attitude. and I think
1t most important that you. as soon as
possible state publicly YOUR personal
position in respect to the matter.
(Signed)
GEORGE SUTHERLAND"
Makes Direct Answer.
To this telegram Hughes replied:
my Dear Senator: Your telegram
has been received. In my answer 20
the notification, did not refer to
the proposed federal amendment re-
lating to woman suffrage. and this
was not mentioned in the platform. I
have no objection, however, to stat
ing my personal views. AS l said in
my speech, 1 think 1t to be most de-
sirable that the question of woman
suffrage should be settled promptly.
The question is of such a nature that
it should be settled FOR the entire
country.
MY view is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
(; ratified and the subject removed from
political discussion. Very sincerely
yours.
