Arsenal street and Comp-ton avenue, where graves are being dug up in preparation for laying out a estate subdivision, were not guaranteed perpetual care when they buried their friends and relatives there, and that is why the bones are being dug up to be carted away. Rev. Theodore F. Braun, pastor of the Holy Ghost German Evangelical Church, owners of the cemetery, made that statement to a reporter for The Star today.

Twenty-five graves in the common burial ground of the cemetery were opened today and the bones removed. In cases where relatives make no claim, the bones will be placed in one huge box and be buried under one headstone in Zion Cemetery on the St. Charles rock road. "We cannot afford a separata burial lot in the new cemetery for the bones of, each one," said Rev. Braun.

"We are paying for the removal out of the sale of the cemetery to a real estate concern. If wc provided for separate burial and paid for opening of the graves we would not have money to pay expenses.

WASHINGTON. July 18. Repeated unofficial reports that Germany may soon resume its submarine campaign against enemy merchantmen in an unrestricted manner, have so alarmed State Department officials that they have asked Ambassador Gerard at Berlin for a report. It was made plain at the department today that no inquiries were made of the German Government.

Oien Jet Is Wasteful. Charles L. Holman, president of the company, told a reporter for The Star yesterday that the Laclede company has been doing everything In its power to get people to discontinue the use of the open Jet, because of the wastefulness of thls method.

"By using a mantle," Holman said, customer consumes only one-half as much gas, and receives three times as much light, the efficiency the mantle over the open Jet being 6 to 1. Some few persons, approximately 4 per rent of our customers, do not understand this, and have clung to the open Jet method. The mantles cost only 13 cents Apiece and will burn for 1,000 lamp hours before they have to be replaced." Holman then explained the difference in the lighting properties between the old and new gas, the heating properties having remained the same. "The old, or 'ef gas," man said, "attained its maximum lighting quality through making the carbon in the gas incandescent. This lighting quality has no effect on tho mantle lighting, as illumination by this method is obtained from the heating properties' of the gas, which Alderman Says He Told Kiel About Request of Then City Employe.

Holman hopes to have the minority using the open Jet educated to the use of mantles in a short time. According to Holman, his company urges the use of mantles only the grounds that they give the customer the maximum value for the amount of money received, explaining that as his company had to compete with electric lighting and heating, it is to the company's interest to render the best service possible to the community. Holman said that the Laclede Company had the privilege of selling gas for $1.25 per 1.000 feet, under a decision of the Missouri Supreme Court rendered some years ago. This statement was corroborated by City Counselor Daues and Director of Public Utilities Hooke.

This refusal will be pointed to in Germany us showing that England is determined to starve Germany at any cost and that it will be only an act of retaliation if Germany renews her submarine campaign. While officials refused to be quoted on the subject, they admit that If Germany starts another U-boat war, another serious crisis may face this country. If an American life is lost or even endangered by an attack without warning on any merchant vessel, it will "entail the gravest consequences," according to one high official.

The lime from the bones has acted as a disinfectant on any possible impurities." Old Picker Cemetery is bounded by Arsenal and Wyoming streets, and Louisiana and Compton avenues. It includes eight city blocks. Juniata street runs through the middle of It. It was condemned by the city in 1903 but there had been no burials in it for two years prior to that time. The cemetery had served as a burying ground for seventy-five years.

The part north of Juniata street Is being opened. It will take four or five months to complete the work at the rate at which the men are working now.

We pacifists, whose basic contention is so wholly right, and whose purpose Is so wholly noble, are not free from the above weakness. Our most prominent error is in talking about three things at once when we talk of peace. The first thing is so big and beautiful that it outshines all othrs, namely Peace the largest of P's.

Surely there is no one, save some Prussian war worshiper, or some Oriental, like that gallant Hindu Prince, who is quoted as sayin?" "All war is beautiful, but this war is heavenly," who will not agree that peace is the necessary condition for human life and progress, and war the worst, or at least one of the worst, of evils. But such views a3 this may be dismissed in two sentences as, for instance, these: Peace -is the best thing for humanity. War is the worst thing for humanity. Pacifists May Divide. Then if your hearers disagree you may argue those points; if the hearers agree it is time to go on and say something.

The next point in the discussion is one of pressing practical importance -how to stop this war.

"In the present stage of development of gas fixtures and appliances, the candle power standard is a more less obsolete criterion; the heat measure is a fairer standard. Very few bare gas flames are now hurned by customers. The average gas consumer now realizes that it is far more economical to take advan- tage of the savings in gas bills resulting in the use of incandescent burners that utilize the heat content cf the gas. "High candle power in gas is procured by the injection of an oil spray during the process of manufacture. Due to the recent marked Increase in the "price of petroleum products, oil tor gas-making purposes is growing more and more expensive.

Economies in the respondent's operating expenses are to be effected by the elimination of an unessential candle-power restriction. "Accordingly, the commission will permit the respondent, should it so desire, to lower its candle-power standard; but it will not permia a decrease of the existing heat unit standard of 600 British thermal units per cubic foot of gas."
