Of THE CHAP MANS

Yesterday morning in the course OF
Auxiliary OF the Episcopal Diocese OF

Nicely. u missionary to Japan, she
recounted an incident In which two
well-known Virginians, Rev, James
j. Chapman and his wife. mission
aries to Japan from Virginia, were
conspicuous figures.
Miss Nicely was telling Of the
friendly relations between the rn1N es
and the missionaries and the attitude
Of the missionaries TO which these
friendly relations were largely due,
and In this connection she told tho
incident in which Rev. and Mrs.

said, were, the latter part OF last

One day Mr.. Chapman and a party

at it's crater and to view the rising
sun from the great elevation.
Camping there for the night, the
following morning the party were
awaiting the sunrise when the vol
cano commenced belching forth lava.

in terror, but not in time to escape,
in many instances painful injuries
and in one or more ce~es death.
Many of those injured were Jap
anese. Mr.. Chapman himself was
badly hurt about the neck, but he
was not hurt too badly to be OF great
assistance in rendering friendly Of
fees to the Japanese, and when the
party. bruised and bleeding, reached
the hotel. where Mrs. Chapman stoIv
ped while her husband and the resi-
she was of the greatest assistance and
effectiveness in attending TO the
needs OF the injured.
The incident created rdch an i'm =
preston on the community that one
OF the leading newspapers, Miss Nee
ly said, published a lengthy edito-
rial OF praise for Mr.. and Mrs. Chap
man.
When Miss Nicely finished her ad-

FAVOR Of ARMY
CANTEEN

Army in His Annual Report
Also Urges GarfiSoning of
Panama Canal,

Washington. Dec. i1.-Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff OF
the army, favors the restoration or
the canteen 10 army posts. He de-
clares in his annual report that the
consensus of opinion In the army Is
that the canteen should be re-estab-
lished.
General Wood also makes some
recommendation for the garrisoning
Of Panama canal forts. He says II is
necessary to have the garrisons to
protect the canal and insure its neu
trality, and for this he says Twelve
companies OF cost artillery, four feBl-
ments Of infantry with fun strength;
one battalion of field artillery. one
squadron of cavalry and some auXll-
iary troops are needed. In recom-
mending short term enlistments, the
chief of staff says the argument that
men would not return to the colors IN
time of war is "an unwarrantabie re-
Election on the patriotism OF men who
have served the colors and returned
to private life"
General Wood opposed the bill
pending In congress which would con-
solidate the adjutant general and in
spector general departments with the
staff corps. He favors consolida-
tion but not in the form proposed.
The detail system, General Wood de-
clares, Is one of the essential feat
ures OF the efficiency OF the general
staff,

expenditures, the Russian treaty alb

bin win keep congress exceedingly
busy this week. Both houses will ad-

The Sherwood dollar day PEN
sion bill, which the house has passed,
probably will not find an easy way In

has started an inquiry into the posst-

tends the bill will not be so popular
in congress when there is no presi-

Senator McCumber. chairman OF

some general pension legislation
would be enacted this session.

should depend on the state of the
