woman seeking High Education.
OTTUMWA, To-, Dec. 16.-The old schema
OF chain letters" has been put to new use
by Rosa Leech a poor schoolteacher at
Smoky Hollow, mining camp near Abba 10
Miss Leech considered that large number
of charitable people over the country would
not hesitate to contribute one penny for the
sake of securing a college education for A
poor girl! With this in mind she wrote tn
a number of her friends, explaining her cir
cumstances and her desire to acquire a col
leg education. Each of these she asked to
contribute one penny and to write to three
of their friends. asking them to do likewise.
At first the answers came slowly, but as
the letters became more widely circulated by
each day, until at present she is receiving
over 100 letters a day and the fund has
reached something like $500. t
The answers come from all parts of the
country, and some Of them are unique Some
come from unknown, admirers, asking for a.
photograph Of herself. Others have offers
of steady correspondence, proposals of mar
riage and expressions of admiration of all
kinds and degree. Al the letters contain
pennies, many of them niclels, dimes, quar-
ters, and one benevolent Ohio man Enclosed

young man in Doylestown, o., suggests
that their town would afford her excellent
facilities in the college line, and as an extra
inducement she might live with them and

Der of proposals she has received.
Her only object is to secure a college edu-
cation, which. from present indications, she

GEN. LEW WALLACE TALKS WAR.
Thinks Japan Wants to Fight ind
Locks for Serious Trouble.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia special to the
Chicago Record from Indianapolis.
says: Il firmly believe" said Gen. Lew
Wallace tonight, that the next war
we shall engage in will be with Japan.
There is a country with fine naval
equipment and a good army, flushed
with recent victories and a country
spelling for a fight. They need a good
thrashing, and we are able to give it.
They have been landing troops on the
Hawaiian islands for a long time I'M
der the guise of emigrants, and there
is now a Japanese army Of 0,000 on
the islands. Dole discovered the
scheme, and has tried to put a stop
to the secret landing of this army, but
the Japanese already landed are
there"
DO you mean to say, general, that
Japan will declare war if we annex
Hawaii" "- '"'
1--WE won't annex it. I am in favor
of the annexation of the islands, but
you will see that this administration
will not annex them. What we should
do right away is to take these islands
when they are being offered to US for
nothing. In fifteen years we shall be
engaged in a war to get them if we
don't annex them now. You will live
to see that war. 1 may not. but you
lily worn Wue1 L say lQdC you Will
see it. Those islands which we can
now get for nothing will cost us untold
money, for there is nothing so expen-
siVe as war.
Speaking about our engaging in
war; continued Gen. Wallace, 81

Congressman E4ilborn. of California,
had, before some class in Chicago the

equipment, and, although he is a mem
Der IT the house committee on naval
affairs, he made the. statement that
while we had some Vessels we did not
have in this country enough powder
to fire the ordinary salutes He made
this statement to express the absurdity
in his opinion of this country engaging
in war.
THAT fellow should be disciplined for
that kind of talk. He ought to know
that this country has concealed some
place IN the Allegheny mountains
enough saltpeter to make all the pow
der we would need in long war. That
statement was highly injudicious. and
l believe not true. Even though true.
however it but advertises our weak
ness to the world and invites trouble.
Congress should appoint a committee
to have that utterance investigated and
if proved to be accurately reported he
i should be censured-yes, even expelled
from the house. He is not fit to repre-
sent any one"

for several days that one Of the lead

given notice of an intention to draw
out in January has set the trade here
IN a culver, and there is an eager in
quiry for the facts.
1t was the contention Of the with
drawing member, so it is said, that all
of the people who could pay $500 for
typewriters were already supplied, and
that the big field now was to capture
those of smaller means. AS it was
known that the leading combine ma

ment of only S., and that the scheme
had not been favorably enough re-
ceived to dispose of any great part of
their large stock. this story conceded
with the views of the trade.

Moreover, this discretion existed now.
GENERAL CROSS-FIRE.
When the remainder of the bill had
been read a general discussion began.
In answer to eross-fire Of questions.
Mr.. Gage said the bill could not re-
suit in raid on the treasury by bank
notes. 1t was not the substitution Of
an endless chain" of greenbacks for
another endless chain" Of bank notes.
The banks would have to redeem their
own notes, and 1t would be to their
object to do So or they would be clos
ed. But so long as a dollar Of demand
obligations was outstanding so long
this endless chain" would go on.
He said: This. bill IS simply a step
in the right direction, and a most i'm
portant step. 1t would give the gov
eminent 1926, 1000, 600 Of the very liabilities
which were likely to be brought against

time of emergency as to resist any
stress. Faith would be established and
the people would not come to the treas

roads say that the total number of passengers
to be handled for this traffic in the late
winter and early spring will amount to $780,
900, and, while some OF their rivals do not
place the estimate as high, they agree that
the traffic will be very heavy. To handle this
business without any decentralization will be
the effort of the Western roads and just
now they think they are going to be success
full in this direction. Just at the present
time the situation regarding rates to North
Pacific coast points it more satisfactory than
no cut rates in effect and no cheap tickets
to be found On the market and it is hoped
by the Western roads that with the as
sistance OF the transcontinental lines they
will be able to maintain this condition.
