Kansas City Gets Him and the Others

CHICAGO, March 20.-Kansas City
wins the prize of H. II. Muggley, who
police departments from Los Angeles
to Toronto would like to interview.
They want Muggley in Kansas City
for paltry 800 deal while varieties
of other places would like him to tell
about hundreds of thousands that he
is alleged to have secured. But Kan
sas City supplied the information
which led to his arrest so he goes to
the Missouri city.
Muggley was arrested in q fashion
able hotel here where he was stopping
with some thirty trunks Of clothing
and jewelry. He is a debonair sleek
gentleman OF 90 with distinguished
grey hair and mustache and he was
not at all excited about his arrest.
The police here claim Portland.
Oregon, Santa Barbara and Los An
geles, Cal, Toronto. Canada, and some

NOT ENOUGH MEN
IN PHILIPPINES
Major General Wood Wants the Army
on the Island Greatly
Increased.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-That
the present military force in the Phil
ippines is inadequate is the opinion
of Maj. Gen. Wood, chief of staff U.
S, A.
Exclusive of the soldiers to man
the coast defenses there are $1,000
men in the island Gen. Wood be-
lieves $4,000 men the minimum force
which should permanently be on duty
there. This figure is based upon the
possibilities of an attack from the
outside. 1t does not include the com
panies of Philippine scouts and con
stabulary. AS an indication of the
source of possible attack which Wood
believes the islands should be de
Tended it is known he has repeatedly
urged American officers to study the
Japanese language. Wood spent sev,
eral years in command of the army
in the islands and he yields to none in
his knowledge of conditions there
General Wood believes the minimu Y
force in the islands should consist of
nine regiments of infantry, four regi-
ments of cavalry, three batallions of
field artillery, six battallions of noun
tain artillery with necessary signal
and hospital corps men. That such
force will be sent to the islands If
Gen. Wood can bring it about is not
questioned here.

] ter letter came to the Board of
forelgn Missions OF the Presbyterian
church from Rev. Thomas Carter, a
missionary stationed at Hwei Yuen
In Anhwei Province
I Il never really knew what the
Lords prayer meant until today he
writes. We came to a village where
some Christians gathered for worship.
To hear that company of men say
give us this day our daily bread had
strange sound when We knew that
not one of them had as much as seen
bread for many day, unless you call
pressed sweet potato vines bread.
Somehow that prayer must be answer
ed. We can not let these people
starve"
A million people in the region north
of his station, Mr. Carter says, are
to die of starvation before summer un-
less help comes from the outside. He
writes of the scene as it impressed
him in the following terms:
1T would be hard to draw a picture
of the famine district that would not
be altogether misleading. The coun.
try looks much the same as any
stretch of country looks anywhere in
China. Long stretches Of rich fields
are just beginning TO be green with
winter wheat
1T Is only as we lcok closely and
ask questions that we find out the real
state of affairs. We look at the fields
that appear so prosperous and We rea-
lie they were all under water last
summer, the fields of over 100000
persons, and that the wheat we see
will not be ready until June. Before
that time. unless help comes. the larg-
er part of those people who planted
the wheat will be beyond using it.
I'VE look again at the persons who
come down to meet us with their rice
bowls. In the bowls there is no rice.

some weeds gathered from the field,
mixed with a few grains of precious
wheat bought with the relief money
given by the government, relief that
amounts to about cents gold given
only to the very poorest; that is, to
about half the population.
This is something of what famine
means now. What it is going to mean
soon We scarcely dare to think, for it
is still five months before wheat har-
vests. Already in many places the
bark is taken from the trees and eat
