Christmas presents for the inmates of
the county and leper hospitals and

made request for roast pig and

LCndOn Times DepIores the Delay in
Providing Army With Modern
Ordnance

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Times to-
day prints a special article in which
complaint is made that there has been
objectionable delay in rearming the
artillery. The article declares that.
with. the exception of eighteen bat
teries of quick-fire guns hurriedly
bought in Germany during the Boer
war;, the British army has no guns that
would seriously count. In modern
war Great Britain's artillery would be
hopelessly outclassed alike in range.

would be Knocked to pieces before it
could inflict any serious damage upon
the enemy.
Owing to the reluctance of the
II leasury to find money and to other
red tape delays, nine months have been
wasted since War Secretary Brod-
riok's committee last March decided
OIL models for new guns and IL Will
certainly be two years before the army
is properly provided.

last night by jumping into the bay
from the narrow gauge -ferry-boat on
its II o'clock trip from Oakland to

she was about to make the fatal

the usual questions. She stated her age
to be 3S years. her residence as Cleve-
land and the United States as the
country of her birth. Mrs. Chadwick
was then taken to her cell.

His health will not admit of his TAX
ing the trip save at considerable risk,
as his physician has already said he is
suffering from lumbago.
He has been willing to make depo-
sition at his home and later. on his re-
turn from Florida, he Will lend his as
sistance and be present to testify at
any, subsequent proceeding, such as a
