SMALL EMERGENCY RATION
Further Reduction Probable in Order
to Reduce Weight of the
Soldiers Pack.

Washington, Jan. There is talk in
army circles of further reducing the
emergency ration already heretofore
reduced from 162 ounces. Next to MAIN
tenance of it's quality of sustenance the
desire is to minimize the weight of the
ration to the end that there may he a
reduction to the last degree of the bur-
den of the soldier in the field on emer-
gency call. Some of the European ma
tons have emergency Tations lower
than ours, and the opinion is that this
may be safely reduced in weight. while
al the same time retaining its effect as
a diet
The war department has approved
suggestions of the commissary general
for an extension of the system of IN
struction of baking and cooking so as
to include as many as possible of the
militia camps to be held during the
coming summer
Because of changed conditions new
hayersack and cup smaller than now
III use have been adopted. Fifty thou
sand of these will be manufactured for
issue as they may be needed.

BOLD ROBBERY ATTEMPTED
Passengers on Train in Union Sta

by Four Desperadoes.

Kansas City. Jan. -Four men at
tempted to rob the passengers on a
Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger
train standing in the Union station
here early today. They were fright
ened off without securing any money
or valuables, but carrying away two
grips belonging to German emigrants.
Two of the robbers showed revolv-
ers, and, pointing them at the foreign
ers. commanded them to give up their
valuables. H. w. Drew, the conduct
or. hit one of the robbers in the head
with his lantern and they fled. None
IF them ware masked, but all wore
good clothing.
Shortly after the attempted robbery
the police arrested two men in the Vi
cinity of the railroad yards. They gave
their names as RUDE Walsh and John
Coss. Both were unable to give an ac-
count of themselves and were held for
investigation.
Coss formerly was bookkeeoer in

CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT
Mistranslation of Count 0kuma's
Kobe Speech Set Tongues Wag-
cling in European Capitals.

TOkiO.s Jan. IA remarkable situa-
ton has arisen as a result of the pub
LEGATION in London of a mistranslation
of the speech delivered by Count Oku-
ma at Kobe. Little attention was paid
to this address at the time of it's deliv-
speeches on this same subject had
made his views well known. The Lon
don publication put the count in the
position of urging India to rise against
Great Britain.
Count Okuma and the japanese for
eign office have been bombarded with
cablegrams of inquiry from Paris, Ber-
lin, St. Petersburg and London. and
requests that the count publicly repu-
date or confirm his remarks. In reply
Count Okuma said today:
"In my Kobe speech I did not use
the words that were put into my
mouth. 1t is apparent that mistrans-
lation of these remarks has just
reached England. My views on the
subject of trade with India, as well as
my friendliness to Great Britain, ought
to be too well known to make it neces-
sary for me publicly to repudiate the
absurd construction which has been
placed upon the remarks I made at
Kobe. 1 have never entertained a
thought which could be stretched into
such a meaning.
India offers US a fine field for trade,
and / urged my people openly and con-
sistently to enter that field in fair COM
petition in friendliness with Great Brit
ain; that is all

TOO MUCH TALK FROM HIM
New York Congressman Roasts
Roosevelt for Turning on the Gas
Instead of the Light.

Washington, Jan 7.-Severe denun-
citation was heaped upon President
tives today by Mr.. Willett of New
York, who in the course of some re-
n arks on the financial question
charged the president with not being a
sensible man and with having charac-
terized the heads of great industrial in
stitutons as dishonest, thereby bring
ing on a condition of lack of confidence
among the people and ultimately a
panic. The trouble with President
Roosevelt. he SAID, was he had not been
turning on the light but turning on the
gas.
1--WE have had too much talk from
him." he said.

The paper quotes Baron Takahira,
Japanese minister to Italy. as saying
THE Japanese government loyalty
maintains its promise to do everything
TO diminish emigration to America, as
we have no need TO send off our super

NEW JAP AMBASSADOR.
Baron Takahra to Succeed Viscount
Aoki at Washington.

Toxic, Jan. S-While the selection OF
Baron Takahira. Japanese ambassador
t. Italy, to succeed Viscount Aoki al
" ashington, has not been officially an
nounced, it is admitted at the foreign
office that the appointment has beer
decided upon.
The Associated Press understands
that instructions have been forwarded
to the Japanese charge d'affaires AT
Washington to announce to the state
department the nomination of Baron
Takahira.
The delay in making the appoint
ment is probably due to the desire Of
the Japanese government to await the
departure of Ambassador Aok from
America.
