BALFOUR LUGS IN GERMAN WAR SCARE
 TO BEAT BUDGET
fSpecial from United Press,

Special from United Preas.1
 London. Jan 5.-'"The German war scare" bids fair to be the biggest as- set possessed by the conservatives in Balfour, in his speech at Henley, last night, threw off all reserve and frank ly admitted that the only thing that could save England from a disastrous war with Germany was the up-build- ing of the navy to such point that it would be clearly out of the ques- ton for another nation to attack 1t. His speech, the boldest yet made in the campaign, was an acceptance of conservative victory would mean even heavier expenditures for naval arrna- ments and a strengthening of the war party.
 Balfour' speech, while rather pessi- mistic in vein, aroused great enthu- siasm. He declared he did not believe there would be war between England and Germany, but he based the be- lief on no more hopeful sign than that qua rding against Germany and con- tinue her naval expansion until it would be suicide for any nation to go to war with England.
 He said that Germany had one vast superiority over England in that her people were ready at all times to face facts, whereas Englishmen seem dis posed to consider only those facts that are pleasant to contemplate. Balfour admitted that the attitude of many prominent Germans, who assumed that the overthrow of England was only a question of few years. enraged him and contended that the mistaken view of England's virility was due to the country's isolation.

Soldiers Wouldn't Hike So
 Court Martial For Them

New London, Conn, Jan. 5.- Threatened mutiny on New Years day by sixty-two artillerymen station ed at Fort Wright, on Fishers ls- land, because they were oruered to take a fifteen mlle hike" on the holiday, has stirred military circles. Sixty of the men are under arrest, besides two sergeants who, the of- ficers maintain, were the instlgators of the trouble, in the guard house. The sergeants are Hart and Foley and they will have to be tried by a court martial.
 The sixty men under arrest are per- forming all their duties as soldiers, but are not allowed to leave the re- ser ation until they are tried. Most of these cases will probably come up today before summary court offic- er- The men are charged with neg lecting to obey an order. Major w. E. Ellis, who has just returned from leave, will be the court officer. Colonel w. c. Rafferty, the District Commander said that the punish ment would be light, probably not exceeding fine of $5. The court martial will not sit on the cases of the two sergeants for two weeks as a report has to be made.
 ' Major General Wood has issued an order that all artillery men shall walk fifteen miles each week. Ac- cording to the men at Fort Wright each hike" is accompanied by more or less grumbling on the part of the "hikers." On account of the cold weather on Thursday of last week no soldiers were sent out and two of the three companies took the walk on Friday. This left only Saturday for Company 131 to make the hike"
 1t always has been the custom in the army to suspend all except guard and fatigue duties on holidays. out in front of the barracks at ten minutes to eight on New Years morn ing for the hike Sixty were miss ing at that time and the company commander was forced to get into the barracks. He ordered the men out and they all went on the hike" but one., Horace Mann, who tried to de- Sert, but was caught.
 Colonel w. .. Rafferty, the post commander, said that ne uId not con- sider the walk 8 hardship even if it was New Years Day. He hinted that if a hostile fleet should attack the Fort on a holiday the men might de- sire to request them to work accord ing to the union scale of hours.
 The men gave as an excuse for their delinquency that they did not realize the seriousness of their of fence. One enlisted man made bit ter charges against the commanding officer of the post. saying that his methods were the cause of the many assertions It is rumored that Uni ted States inspector may be sent to investigate the existing situation at the post in the near future.
 The tendency of the officers seems to be to smooth the whole matter over. A summary court is only for minor offences and most of the sixty men tried by this officer probably will escape with reprimand.S The court martial for the two sergeants will not convene until things have chance to cool.

TAFT'S BOSS AND CONGRESSMAN
 HAVE HOT WORDS OVER STORY THAT INSURGENTS GET NO PLACES

interview with Miller, urged him not to .'do anything in the way of open protest until he heard from him but the Minnesotan was so wrathful that he came right out and told his trou- ble to the press.
 The postmaster generals friends are saying today that Miller misunderstood Hitchcock, and drew inferences from his conversation that were not justi- fled by the facts. As the substance of the administrations ultimatum had been already laid down to several Senators of the progressive or insur- gent variety, those who heard Miller's story were inclined to take it at it's face value, in spite of the denials.
 Senators LaFollette, Clapp and Cum mins had already been given to un- derstand that the White House regards them as "undesirables'' from a patron age disbursing standpoint.
 In retaliation, LaFollette, who is chairman of the Senate Census Com nittee, has held up a number of nom- nations made by the President.

Ice Bound New York is
 Facin, Want and Misery

New York, Jan. 5.-New York far- Dor is ice-bound and navigation is proceeding with difficulty. The streets are blocked with snow that fell Christmas night and which has been removed only from the most import ant thorOughfares and how1ing northerly wind is driving another snowstorm down on the city. With the temperature Il degrees above zero the poor are facing conditions that are sure to leave suffering and death in their wake.
 With it all however, there is an absence of the utter misery of former years. This is due entirely to the re- cent prosperity which has reduced the number of the unemployed to mini- mum figures, there being plenty of work in the city for all who will work.
 All of the railroad and surface transportation companies have been warned to prepare for heavy snow. The forecast says it will be warmer tonight and tomorrow with plenty of snow, two distinct> blizzards being en- route to the city.
 Incoming ocean liners report win- try gales of great violence and con- stant snowstorms for the last few days and many of the sailors are severely frost bitten.
 At l o'clock this morning it was E degrees above zero; at 10, 12 above and the mercury is now slowly rising.

The doctor was formerly in the German diplomatic service but left 1t last April to become Menelik's "chan- cellor.:' He held this position until June when Taltu. who had attained the ascendancy over Menelik on ac- count of the latter's sickness, dismiss sed him.
