Main Floor rl m m Beards or No Beards? Ash German Soldiers Amsterdam, April 26. To be clean shaven or bearded like the pard is the alternative present to the German first line troops. , The reason is to be sought in the gas mask. Some authorities hold that the mask cannot be relied upon to protect any but clean shaven faces. Others hold that a dense hirsute growth within the mask acts as an additional air filter. But it must be a real patriarchal beard no more seven or 14 days' bristles, says an article in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung. The writer holds that the full beard is a peculiarly Teutonic at tribute and should be cultivated as such. Besides, according to ancient tradition, it adds "frightful aspect," he naively adds. Gas tests at the front in air-tight cubicles are carried out every fort night, and full bearded men testify to the additional security afforded LOAN POSTERS MMTZIES Liberty Bond Advertisements Dropped Behind German Lines by American Aviators. T ; v 1 r - .. . Washington, April 26. President Wilson made a second subscription to the third Liberty loan at a local the ater last night, taking $2,000 worth of bonds. He made his first subscription for $1,000 worth at the same theater two weeks ago. Some of the third Liberty loan posters sent to General Pershing in France will be dropped from airplanes behind the German lines. A letter from General Pershing to the war losn organization of the treasury re ceived today says: 'The third Liberty loan posters have been received, General Persh ing wrote, "and I desire to say that I consider their use and display among the troops of France a most excellent method of impressing on the Ameri can expectionarv forces the fact that the people back home are standing solidly behind them. "Some of them dropped from air planes back of the German front line will help also to impress on such Ger man soldiers and civilians as may see them the idea that the United States considers the winning of the war a definite necessity and that our nennla are both ready and willing to make the necessary sacrifices to accomplish this end."

Speaker Clark today declined Governor Gard ner's proffer of the Missouri senator- ship to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Stone's death. Speaker Clark, in his letter of dec lination, said: "In this awful crisis of our coun try's affairs indeed, of the whole world's affairs it is the imperative duty of every man to serve the peo ple and uphold the government to the best of his ability and in the posi tion where he can do the most good. I believe that I can render more serv ice in the speaker's chair than in the senate. Therefore. I feel constrained to decline your tender of the senator ship, heartily thanking you and the many Missourians who have urged me to accept." Rail Committees Rushing Work on Train Schedules General Passenger Agent Wakeley of the Burlington, who, for the last two weeks has been in Chicago work ing on passenger train schedules, has returned. He asserts that the com mittee still has a vast amount of work in hand before the official announce ment will be given out relative to the curtailment of train service. Mr. Wakeley says that the mem bers of the committee constantly keep in mind the importance of the reduc tion of service, but In doing so the idea is to inconvenience the traveling public as little as possible.

WAR REPORTERS ' RISK LIVES FOR SAKE OF 'STORY' Thrilling Adventures of Asso ciated Press Correspondents at Front Equal Most Excit-. ing News They Record. New York, April 26. Torpedoes and mines at sea and ihot and shell on land have held no fears for the Associated Press correspondents, the gatherers of the great world news. Their escapes amid danger have been countless. The news the reader calmly peruses at his peaceful breakfast table or with his after-dinner cigar has in many instances been obtained under difficul ties that in themselves would make a story as thrilling as the narrative the correspondent has been at so much pains to record. Frank M. America was knocked down by a Zeppelin bomb in London, but worked all that night as usual merely an ncident of the day's work In an office building, which has itself been hit by such shells. Bath In Icy Somme. Robert T. Small fell into" the icy Somme, but rode 35 miles to cable the story' of the first American in Peronne. Charles T. Thompson was on the highest rampart of the castle of Gorizia, when a shell buried it and him under earth, but on that aft ernoon he wrote a story which thrilled the press of Europe as well as of the United States. Walter Whiffcn was shot la the knee on a Russian observation post. Charles S. Smith, after a bayonet and fist encounter at Harbin, escaped with painful lacerations. Another cor respondent, James Hickey, was blown through a glass door by the Halifax explosion, but before dressing his wounds was resourceful enough to find1 in a demolished building the ter- j minus of the cab re ot the west In dies and sent by way of Bermuda and Havana to New York the first direct messages out of Halifax. Such incidents are not unusual in the serv ice of this organization. Public'a Fair in A. P. s The bombardment of Paris at lone range was ridiculed by other press as sociations and by ordnance experts, but the Paris bureau of the Asso- siated Press, which for two days alone reported this startling development of the war to American readers, con vinced the skeptical quite at thor oughly as did the official confirmation oi its report. When the government s action in taking over the Dutch ships in Ameri can harbors was reported in Europe. several cnanceuones inquired in i European capitals whether the Asso- ! cited Press announced this fact. This reputation for telling theruth on the part of the Associated Press is rec- y ognized now quite as s;eneTally , throughout diplomatic and JtAirnalis- , 5 tic circles abroad as it is n the United States, and it is swAset t 1 membership in this organization that i is of the utmost value. i SAYS BRYAN HAS i ' BECOME MENACE :j rnn TJT5 nnrnTTTfW WlltUm T Rrvan haa ccaied to he a joke in connection with prohibition ; Mw Vnrir ta. and haa now be come an actual menace to the cause, according to a statement by William H.

Gordon), author of "The Sky Pilot," who speaks at the Chamber of Commerce Saturday night, has re cently returned from the front, where he was chaplain for the Canadian forces.
