the Real Military Problem-Diplo-

sprcidl Cgbi, Despatch 70 The SuS
LONDON, Jan. l2.-Prime Minister Bal
four delivered n speech at Glasgow to-day
the keynote Of which was the Empires
need of peace and the dependence OF peace
upon preparedness for war, He asserted
that the War Office had been reorganized
with complete success, and said that the
whole army would be rearmed in two years
from March 1905, but long before that time
il would he ahead Of most armies of the
world.
It's guns would be better than those OF
any other nation. The Government had
made new departure, based on the OBJ
servations of experts who had watched
the artillery in South Africa. Continuing
Mr.. Balfour said.
ave. and we alone propose TO have a
field gun OF so powerful character that
il Is not found convenient or possible to
make it OF me same calibre as the horse
artillery gun. 1t will be most interesting
TO see whether foreign nations Will follow
the example we are setting
Dealing with other features Of army
reorganization the Prime Minister said
that the real problem Of the British Army
was the defence of Afshanistan. This was
the only northwest frontier OF India at
which the possibility Of conflict with a
great military empire arose.
The changes that Mr.. Arnold Forster
Secretary OF State for War was carrying out
would enable Great Britain 70 intervene
there more effectively. while under the
strong hand of Gen. Lord Kitchener de-
velopment OF the Indian forces was going
on which. it almost could be said, would
nearly double their efficiency without
material addition to their numbers.
MIR Balfour contended that a a result
of the recent reorganization Of the navy lts
fighting power for the first twenty-four
hours Of hostilities with any foreign Power
had been augmented threefold II was
perhaps the biggest naval reform since the
days Of Nelson.
Nevertheless Mr.. Balfour asserted that
the Governments triumphs in its moral
and diplomatic efforts in the direction OF
peace had been greater than the army or
navy reforms. He pointed out that various
countries had followed Great Britain
cad in negotiating arbitration treaties.
He believed that if a clear defnarcation OF
disputed matters. a. has been arranged
between Great Britain and France, could be
made among other European Powers the
chances Of war would be almost removed
and the dream Of universal and eternal peace
would nearly approach realization.

WELL KNOWN EDITOR DEAD.
Kasriel Sarasohn Founded the First Jewish
Daily Here-Ills Charities.

Kasriel H. Sarasohn, owner and editor
OF the Jeuish Daily Nens, and a philan-
thropist whose good works were known
throughout the East Side died at his home
1856 EAst Broadway, yesterday morning.
He was born in Russian Poland in 1895
and studied to become rabbi. but in 1855
he gave up his studies and emf grated here.
In 1874 he founded the Jetoish Weekly and
the Jetrish Gazette. and in ise6 the Jc,atsh
Ddily NeuS. In 1852. when the first great
stream Of Hebrew refugees poured into
this country from Russia. he founded the
Hebrew Sheltering House, which he sup
ported with his private means. Later
when less room was needed for the immi
grants. he devoted one wing Of the build
ing to the use Of aged jews. and the place
became known az the Hebrew Shelter
House and Home for the Aged; year ago
it moved to 229-23l East Broadway.
Mr. Sarasohn was the chairman OF the
board OF education OF the Machzikei Tai
mud Torah He was also chairman OF the
committee which raised 800 600 for the
relief Of Kishineff.
When Mr.. Sarasohn began tho publ
cation of his paper there was no other
Hebrew newspaper in existence, and there
was added to his other troubles the almost
unsurnountable one OF procuring com
plete font Of type. Driven almost to des-
peration he studied photo-engraving, then
recently invented and got out one edition
of his paper in Hebrew script. writing
every word himself and transferring it
10y the photo-engraving process. Later,
when a small collection of Hebrew type
came into the city he pawned nearly every
possession to secure the means TO buy It.
His paper was first published at a East
Broadway, The printing plant and living
rooms of Mr.. Sarasohns family were all
on one floor. and all the family helped to
set type. With all their poverty and mar
row quarters they managed to take in and
care for several newly landed and less
fortunate brethren.
Three years ago Mr. Sarasohn visited
Palestine To- investigate the Hebrew chart
ties there. On his return he was made
president of the committee for the support
OF INDECENT Hebrews in Palestine. During
his sickness prayers for his recovery were
said in Palestine and to-day the people
there are praying for the repose OF his soul.
Yesterday 400 boys from the Macnzikei
Talmud Torah assembled at the Sarasohn
home to chant the psalms of David.
Mr. Sarasohn leaves a wife and two SONS.

Another DebarS the city From Looking
for Water In Westminster. and Column
hIa and Ulster May Seek TO Join In
Driving the City TO Rama po water.

Mayor Mcclellan ia disturbed over the
possible effect OF the bills which James X.
Apgar. chairman OF the Assembly Com
mittee on Electricity. Gas and Water Supply,
has introduced excluding New York from
tapping any of the streams in Westminster
county for additional water supplies and
also repeating the Webster act which
enabled the city to secure land by con-
demnation for the extension Of its water
supply system.
The Mayor said last night that until he
was better Informed concerning the eKact
nature Of the two bills he preferred not 20
say much about them. but that from what
he had been able 10 learn the bill shutting
the city out Of Westchester county seemed
10 be in line with the policy thai actuated
the passage last wear of the Smith bill. which
prevented the municipality from going 10
Duchess county for new water supplies
Dispatches from Albany state that the
representatives of Columbia and Ulster
counties ara contemplating bringing in
similar bills
If these bills should pass. the Mayor
said last night 1T would seem that there
is nothing left for the city to do but to rely
upon the Ramapo watersheds.
When the Smith bll was put through
last year the cry Of "Ramapo' was raised
but 1t was dropped again when il was eS
planned that the city had nothing TO fear
from the Ramspo interests because Of it,
power to condemn. Now Mr.. Apgar pro-
poses To take away that power.
The Mayor Is somewhat upset by the
Introduction OF these bills because they

special commission to decide upon fresh
sources Of water supply and giving to that
commission. with legislative sanction. the

The opinion was held last night by some
politicians in this city that the purpose
Of the new bills was to help forward Gov.
