 Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 2-In accord ance with orders received today from the military secretary of the War De- parement, Sergent James Lynch. Of the 10th company of recruits at the Col umbus army post, who refused to obey Lieutenant Colonel Glenn's orders to attend Catholic services January 6, Will lose his chevrons and will be trans ferred to Company E. of the 4th Infan- fry at Fort Thomas. Ky.
 The War Department held that Lynch was wrong only in that he did not obey the order and t&en make com pIaint. It also held that the court mar tial charges against the sergeant could not be sustained. Lieutenant Colonel Glenn was held to be wrong In issuing the order, which subsequently, was modified to compel the Catholic sol- diers at the post to march only as far as the church doors. The obligation to attend the services was removed.
 Much dissatisfaction Is expressed by men at the barracks because they are compelled even to march to the ser vices. It Is declared that even this modified order Is unprecedented in arr my circles. Captain Cabaniss, acting commandant, declared today that the order Issued by Lieutenant Colonel Glenn just before he left for san An- tonic, Tex, to defend Major Penrose, would be enforced tomorrow.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The famous battleship Oregon is to be undermined, and Secretary Metcalf announced today that he had authorized the expenditure of S1.000.oU0 out of the naval repair fund for that purpose.
 Of the best type of warship when she was launched. the Oregon is all ready almost obsolete and to make her equal to modern men- of war, she must he extensively overloaded. The changes to be made will be similar to those orderd for her sister ship, the indiana. the most important being the substitution of balanced ellipitical tur- rets for the present round turpets which cause he ship to heel heavy when aiI four of the big 13-inch guns are pointed over the same side of the ship
 The alterations will be made at the Puget Sound naval station, where the oregon has been lying since her re. turn from the Chinese station and will consume one year.

ENGLAND HANDS OFF.
Does Not Like AnGIOSJapaneses Treaty
 at This Time.


 at This Time.
 London. Feb. 2,-Dispatches receiv- ed here from the United States report Ing renewed tension between the Uni- cisco school incident have published with rather derisive comment, as the press takes the view that Japan Is not as belligerent as she Is reported. and the official view while 1t does not minimize the delicate points involved, still does not regard the question as having entered upon the critical stage. It is pointed out that the reports Of from the popular use of the word 'ul- timatum'' instead of its decisive mean ing under international law:
 Governent circles thus far have given little consideration to this con troversy. as they do not share the view that it is likely to embroil Great Britain under the terms of the Anglo Japanese treaty; Ofticials here point out that the whole thing Is more a question between the federal and the State governments than between Ja- pan and the United States. During a recent informal exchage of views, one of the chief government officials said that the difflculties of the federalgov- ernment in dealing with the different States could be appreciated here ow- inR to Great Britain dif1culties In dealing with New roundland ana oth- CT colonies.
 Concerning the Anglo Japanese trea- ty for mutual support. the offlcial view is that this treaty is limited by its preamble to. the maintenance of the territorial rights of Great Britain and Japan in the regions of Eastern Asia aad India. In explaining the foregoing limitation, the official re- ferred to above related the following.
 During the negotiation of the trea- ty, one of the negotiators asked this hypothetical question: If Japan be- came involved with Germany upon 8 question entirely local to Germany and not involving the situation in the far east. would the treaty require Great Britai to support Japan?" Both the negotiators agreed that Great Britain would not be required to support Ja pan under such conditions. The offl- cial pointed out that this hypothesis was practically the same as the ex- isting San Francisco controversy, which is local to California and which does not involve the status In the far east as is set forth in the preamble of the treaty.
 The foregoing. however. is merely an expression of views and shows the general tendency in official quarters. There has not yet been any occasion for an official and formal ruling on the subject.

 Berlin, Feb. 2.-The Foreign once. which naturally takes the greatest in- terest in the questions being discussed between the United States and Japan does not regard the differences as hav- ing reached a serious point.
 The Japanese Embassy received to- day inquiries on the subject from va- rious newspapers and said there was no reason to consider the relations be- tween the United States and Japan as being in any way strained, adding that President Roosevelt doubtless will set tie the whole matter to the satisfaction of Japan.
 DisquietinE telegrams sent out wide- ly early In the forenoon by the Ticker News Company had a depressing infiu. euce on the Bourse.
 The Japanese Government apparent ly did not buy any guns or military supplies in Germany during recent months. Japan did purchase some Krupp guns which were worn out as 8 result of the war with Ruaaia.
 It is also learned here that JapRn bought q considerable quantity of na- wal munitions in England. but this iri- feiiigence Is not of recent date The Yessische zeitung Rourse report
 Prices On tho Bonrse today wore de- pressed on account Of the dispute which has arisen between the United States and Japan. which ia regarded here. as in London, as being very serious The lower quotations of Japanese bonds In London caused similar decline in Berlin. Japan 12 per cents fell over 3-4 point, but recovered partly after the close of the Bourse.
 The newspapers were spread on the threatened war between the United States and papan." give comparisons of the navies of the two countries, peril to the isolated position of the Ameri- can fleet in Philippine waters and the difficulties the United States would er- counter in concentrating a fleet. send ing 1t to the Far East and operating 1t successfully at such a. distance from its base. and so on, but they fully rec ognize the enormous reserve power of the United States and also the proba- |. bility that President Roosevelt will succeed in satisfactorily arranging the questions under discussion.

of his message bearing on the school question was fully translated in tne leading papers throughout this country even the Island of Formosa could read fly see and appreciate the profound ness of his arguments. Had the ques- ton arisen elsewhere. the crisis would have occurred and loud defiance have been uttered from the length and breadth of the empire On the other hand the quiet tone of the press clear 1y demonstrates the strength or the confidence reposed in President Roose- welt and the typical American senti- ment generally.
 "As a sincere friend of America could not help but regret that San Francisco officials should have chosen innocent children for effecting their po- litical ends.
 .AlI my friends who have recently returned from abroad making compar- ative observation of education systems in civilized countries. concur In giv- ing the first rank to the American system. The fact that such an excei- lent fruit of civilization has been re- fused to the children of friendly power, and that, too, in country ac- knowledged as the practical exponent of humanitarianism. only tends to alien ate 1t from the sympathies of the civ ilized world Before this injustice, Ja- pan rests peaceful and quiet. Not a single soul has ever thought that the San Francisco affair would endanger the friendship of both nations.
 "The affair disagreeable and regret table as it is. has served the unique purpose of demonstrating to the world how deep rooted is the friendship be- tween Japan and America. The latent cordiality Japan entertains for her tu- Tor t. ehn hu fha fact that suffering under the severest strain.

 The long delay in securing a jury enabled him to become accustomed to his surroundings in court and he new appears anxious for the real work to begin. Thaw's attorneys were busy today rounding out the mass of tes- timony which the defense will put be- fore the jury.
