WARD SAYS JAPANESE
 WAR IS A BUGABOO

New York, April 2-(SpeciaD- A. Ward. brother of JohnSEubert Ward, who married the daughter of Ambas- sador Whitelaw Reid, sailed with his wife today on the Red Star Liner Vad- erland, making the last lap in a S7,O00 mile tour of the world.
 The young retired naval officer, who rose to the rank of lieutenant com spent three weeks in Japan and made the intimate acquaintances Of many Japanese naval officers.
 ''The Japanese naval officers" said MT. Ward, "ridicule the idea of a war with the United States. They cannot understand the hysteria on that subject that exists in this and other countries. In the first place Japan has nothing to gain by such a war. Japan does not covet the Philippines; Japan recognizes the overwhelming difficulties of land ing an army on the shores of the United States. It would take a month to muster such an army ana another month to transport it. The cost would be enormous and Japan is in no finan- cial position to disregard cost.
 "The bugaboo exists in Australia, where you hear them crying every where.,. a white Australia for Aus tralians,' The same slogan can be heard in Vancouver. and all because the Japanese conquered Russia ten thous- and miles from the boundaries of Rus sia."
 MT. Ward is a brother of Lord Dud- lev governor general of Australia. He and Mrs. Ward spent six months at his brothers home.

BATTLESH|PS WILL
 PRACTICE TODAY

Washington, April 2-The annual battle practice of the Atlantic fleet off the Virginia capes will be begun to- morrow morning when IA of the 16 battleships under command of Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder will direct their big guns at targets representing warships of a supposed enemy.
 Secretary of the Navy Meyer vii wit ness the tests to observe the efficiency of the officers, men, and guns under battle conditions. Twenty-Five vessels of the navy wil be on the scene of battle.
 The four divisions of the fleet will be spread over a distance of 40 or 45 miles, With their big 12-inch guns the battleship will fire at canvass screens stretched between masts on heavy rafts These will be lowed by a fleet auxil- iary while a battleship steaming at 10 miles a nhour, six, seven or eight miles away, will direct its guns upon the target Each screen will be examined frequently and records of the hits will be made. In this way the annual rec ords of target practice are obtained and the ships rated as to efficiency.
 After the single vessels have had their turn at shooting, the fleet in two divisions will direct its guns simultan- eously upon the targets. Night practice will follow the division firing. Exer- oises in repelling torpedo boat attacks and recording the fire of the target screens will occupy several nights.
 Rivalry is keen among the officers and gun crews of the different batte- ships as the records made will deter mine the winner of the fleet trophy, the blue ribbon of the navy.
 The South Carolina nov holds tho coveted honor.

Pratt City News

An enormous crowd was in attend ance at the Pratt City Methodist church last night when the two weeks revival which has been conducted by Evangelist James O. Hanes was closed. The congregation was so large that the Baptist church had to be used to accommodate an overflow meeting, the pastor of that church. the Rev. Brown. conducting that service.
 The revival is considered the grea test, both from point of attendance and that of results that has ever been conducted in Pratt City. No less than 70 new mem berships to the various churches of the city were pledged, and many of them were received into the Methodist church yesterday.
 All three meetings held yesterday were attended by very large congrega- tions. The morning sermon was preached by Evangelist Hanes at II o'clock and thoroughly enjoyable love feast" was held in the afternoon at o'clock. The service beginning at 7:30 o'clock last night was the last of the day and of the series.
 The commendatory remarks that have power as a preacher are many. The little big evangelist" is thanked for having injected new ardor into the re- ligious life of Pratt City. and church people of all denominations say they will welcome another opportunity to hear his forceful sermons.

SOUTH MOURNS
 DEATH OF KNAPP Was Great Friend to South ern Farmers and All
 Agriculturists

Washington, April 2-(Special)- Southern congressman expressed great sorrow today at the death of pr. Sea man A. Knapp. in charge of the Farm CTS Comparative Demonstration work in the agricultural department.
 Dr. Knapp was 7S years old when he died yesterday and he did not enter the government service until he was 65. But in those 1S years of service he became known to farmers all over the country, especially was he regarded as a friend of the south, where both he and his son, Bradford Knapp, who is in the same service. did much work. Bradford Knapp probably will succeed him.
 Dr. Knapp was a native of Sussex county. New York, and was a teach CT until in 1898 he entered the govern ment service, going to Japan, China and the Philippines for the agricul- tural department to report upon the re- sources of islands. He later visited Porto Rico, revisited Japan, China, Philippine islands, and visited Ceylon, India, Burmah. and Hawaiian islands on similar mission
 pr. Knapp introduced the improved Japanese rice, which began the raising of that product in Louisiana, Missis- sippi and Arkansas. This industry is now worth S2,000,000 a year to these states He originated the idea of the farmers cooperative demonstration work, to which railroad and private corporations have contributed, and has handled over a million dollars devoted to the work. Although nearly 80 years of age, he frequently made prolonged lecture tours in the interest of the far mers. The funeral will be held Monday and the body shipped to Ames, Iowa, where it will be buried beside the re- mains of Mrs. Knapp. MT. Knapp was a personal friend of Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department
 Throughout the south pr. Knapp was for years one of the most prominent of the modern scientific school of agricul- ture. His efforts in behalf of rice, su- gar and cotton made his name almost a household word in the Gulf states. He was one of the leaders in the great fight of the government against the cotton boil weevil. Of recent years he had been directing the work of the de- partment toward the diversification of crops In the south and by his efforts southern farmers were largely induced to give up their one staple crop-cotton and to plant corn and raise hogs
 A southern congressman said today, "Dr. Knapp's death is great loss to the south and great loss to the na- tion. His efforts had added much tc the wealth of the southern states"
