CASE OF 1.-THE KROONLAND

and Oil ON Wharves at
Gibraltar.

WASHINGTON. November 1.-Admin-
istration officials We're astonished to
learn Tonight that Great Britain had
ordered the Kroonland, the Red Star
liner bound to the neutral port of
Naples and captured by British cruisers
at Gibraltar. TO be taken to prize
court ut Gibraltar and that this cargo
Of conner and Illuminating oil was be-
Ing discharged on the British wharves.
Great Britain was informed yester-
day by the state Department that the
vessel ought to be released. The pros
pect now is thatithis government will
nc obltSed to take, up to finish with
Great Britain the asserted right of the
latter to seize cargo bound to neu-
ira! territory simply because" Great
Britain suspects that the cargo. or
part OF it. may get into the hands OF
the Germans or Austrians.
1t was pointed out tonight that
the attitude Of Great Britain in the
kroonland episode, if carried to its
last analysis. would have a tendency
to paralyze American commerce with
Europe.
The extraordinary action of the Brit
ISL government in ordering the cargo
OF the Kroonland to be unloaded was
taken before Britain had answered the
request sent yesterday by tho State
Department for the release of the
vessel and cargo.
CONSUL AT GIBRALTAR
10 SENDS IMPORTATION
The fact OF the vessel being sent to
a prize court was not communicated
TO this government by Ambassador
Page at London. to whom the State
Department cabled instructions yester-
day to ask for the release of the
kroonland Instead. United States
Consul-Gcncral SpraGue at Gibraltar
sent the word.
That the action of Great Britain In
this case will cause the United States
to make n clean-cut issue with Great
Britain OH the subject OF ultimate
destination" was foreshadowed by some
of the officials Tonight. They admit
that this Will be the first time the issue
Will be put up to Great Britain, so that
she Will have to make definite state
ment as to what the commerce Of the
United States may expect
In tho seizure of the Kroonland and
Great Britain's act in emptying the
cargo under protest OF the United
States, 1t was taken Tonight that
Britain Is pursuing to the limit its
expressed contention, as outlined last
week, to unrestricted search OF Ameri-
can cargocs.
Great Britain, In her revised lists of
contraband made public here yoster-
day for tho first time. put copper and
illuminating oil, which were n part of
the cargo OF the Kroonland, on that
list. 1t Is considered a question
whether Great Britain can apply rules
made known yesterday to a ship which
sailed from the United States on Oc-
tober is. and about which Great Britain
had the amplest guarantee that there
WAS nothing suspicious.

iAs, WATER AND SEWERAGE

The Gas Department has applied to
tho Administrative Board for an adj
ditional appropriation OF $1,000 which.
however. has no direct relation to the
impending annexation. The extension
OF water, gas and sewerage lAto the
Ecw sections on a comprehensive scale

Ney of the added territory is completed
Such extensions WILL OF course. require
large expenditures OF money
The Health Department alone has so

needs. AT a meeting of the Board OF
Z Health last Monday night, the matter
was discussed but left unfinished 1t
Will probably be definitely settled at

understood that the Board OF Health
will ask for a modest emergency appro-
priation to enable the department to
provide necessary; sanitary and medi-
cal supervision until the service is per-
nianently provided for by the new bud

Two measures of ranking Importance.
dealing with annexation directly, are
under consideration by the Finance
Committee. The first OF these provides
for a s534,000 issue of thirty -four year
bonds. the proceeds from the, sale of
which are to be expended entirely in
tile new territory for permanent i'm
provements. If the bond issue is au-
thorized the city will receive at once
the benefit of the taxes from the an
rexcd real and personal values. Should
there be no bond issue the taxes re-
ceived from the new territory for the
LcXt five years would have to be spent
entirely In the added area.
The other important annexation
measure before the Finance Committee
liz n resolution originating in the Ad-
administrative Board, recommending n
detailed survey Of the entire added area.
such survey, the City Engineer es-
Inmates, could be made for 100000. 1t
is strongly urged by Mr.. Boiling as an
almost Indispensable prerequisite to the
installation of water. gas and sewer

"A large number of Americans who ordinarily spend the summer and early fall months in Europe are now forced to return home and in many cases without the cars they had in tended to buy in Europe. This means an immediate and greatly increased demand for high-class cars made in America. Again, we have received many orders from men connected with various industries that have i'm mediately p:ospered as a result of the war, and who, in some cases, have made tremendous sums in an incredibly short time.
 owing to the foreign manufactur- CTS inability to insure delivery and to supply parts, the European car competition will be practically elim- mated for the time being. Many of the men who have driven foreign cars exclusively in the past, have done so merely from habit and have never realized the superior qualities of the American made car. Invaria .

 Present indications being that the var in Europe will not be terminated soon, business interests and popular sentiment are bound to settle speedily to a rational basis. Europe's neces- sity will be America salvation. For example, right now representatives of continental countries are negotiating here for the purchase of hundreds of heavy American motor trucks. The
 European production of motor trucks has always been limited, and now crippled as she is by the ravages of war, Europe must turn to American manufacturers as the sole source of this product.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
 WILL BEGIN TONIGHT

The feast of Rosn Hashanah or New Years Day, which inaugurates the most solemn season of the Jew ish religious year, begins this year on. Sunday evening. September 20, and lasts until sundoWn Monday, the Fist. Among orthodox Jews who celebrate two days, the following day, Tues day, is also observed. This day opens the Jewish calendar year 5675. The observance of this day as a holy season is commanded in two passages Of the Five Books of Moses, namely Leviticus XXIII., A and 25
 and Numbers XXIX., l. In neither passage is there any specific com mand as to how the day is to be ob- served beyond the injunctions to blow the trumpet, to hold a holy convoca ton and to engage in no servile oc- cupatiOn.
 It is to be noted that this day is the first day of the seventh month or the day Of the new moon of that month. The new moon was observed as holy season by the Jews of old; the seventh month was a particularly holy month, as the seventh day was the holy day of the week; hence the new moon of the seventh month was invested with a significance of far holier import than the other new
 moon days of the year. As in all lECly seasons no se1vile work, no
 gainful occupation was to be fol- lowed.
 The injunction to blow the trum- pet on this day was to call the people to remembrance before the Lord. h the course of time, this ceremony of blowing the "shofar'' became the central feature of the elaborate re- ligiOus service conducted on the day
 Just as the "shofar' called the people to remembrance before the Lord. so also were it's sounds to arouse the people to their shortcomings and to their duties in which they may have failed The day is called on this ac- count Tom bazikkaron-"Th day Of ,, Memorial"
 Another idea which in time came to be associated with the day was that on this day God weighed mems e'NtiOiio III tilt Sedlt Ol JuStlCt. r or this reason another designation of the day is Tom haddin-"The Day of Judgment" The days intervening be- tween New Years day and the Day of Atonement are called "The Ten Days of Penitence'' during which the opportunity is had to reflect finally
 on and repair the wrongs done dur ing the year; if the repentance is sincere forgiveness is gained on the culminating day of the holy season, ''The Day of Atonement"
 The New Years day in the pass ing of the centuries has thus come to embody the great religious ideas of divine justice and human responsi- bility. As the beginning of the Jew ish religious year it emphasizes the religious uniqueness of the Jewish people, the servant of the One God, the priest people of humanity Those of the lavish faith in this city and valley will hold religious services in the Knights of Pythias ! hall, 35 East Washington street this evening at 7:30 o'clock and tomorrow morning at o'clock.

AMERICAN CARS WILL NOT SUFFER
 BECAUSE 0F WAR
Habit of Some Expert Drivers to Boost Foreign Built Cars
 Will Cease

M. J. Budlong, president of the Packard Motor company, of New York, said in a recent interview that he was confident that the sale of high grade American cars would suf- fer very little as a result of the Eur opean war.
 The war naturally has affected business in New York more than 1t has in the west, and the automobile industry has quite naturally suffered more heavily than commerce in staple necessities said MT. Budlong. But that injury cannot be very great or permanent. Even now, with the war only few weeks old, I notice evi dences of much freer buying than prevailed with the opening of the struggle.
 'The capacity of the United States for adjusting herself to intense situ- ations will prevent business stagna- tion, now that the first great shock of Europe's terrible tragedy is over.

.bAPT|STS WILL HAVE
 OUTDOOR REVIVAL

The First Baptist church will begin a series of outdoor revival meetings at the corner of Thirteenth and Au- ans streets, with the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Harvey Deere as the preacher The first service will be held at 7:45. The arrangements are in the hands of an energetic committee who will see to it that everything is in readi- ness for the first meeting. Lights, seats. organ, music, plain preaching in short everything that will con- spire to make the services full of life and interest will be provided It is believed that not only the people in the neighborhood where the ser vices are to be held will be drawn to the meetings but that they will reach out and bless many beyond. All lov- CTS of the freedom of outdoor evan gelism with it's old fashioned songs and it's informal preaching will es- pecially be in attendance, while all are most cordially invited.

Full Report Requested

Washington, Dec. 26.-Officials of
the insular bureau Of the war depart
ment, in the absence of official ad-
vices today from Manila, inclined to
the view that the reported uprising
there was not serious. Earlier in the
week Governor General Harrison re.
ported he could find no basis in Man
lila for accounts of threatened revolt.
Brigadier General Frank Mcintyre,
chief of the bureau of insular affairs,
however, in view Of renewed reports
of trouble in the Philippine. capital,
called for a full report Of the circum-
stances of the Christmas Eve disturb
ances.
Manuel Quezon, resident commits
sioner from the Philippines in con.
gress, declared today that conditions
in the Philippines were being exagger
ated by interests opposed to the pend
ing bill for a greater measure of sell
government and ultimate independ-
enee for the islands.
II know nothing Of the reported
arrests for insurrectionist plots, he
said Il am satisfied that when invest
igated they will disclose nothing more
serious than that there would be ar
rests for violations of police regula-
tions. The Philippine people know a
revolutionary movement would inter
fere with independence. They will
be much disappointed if the bill does
not pass at this session of congress,
but failure to pass it will not mean
insurrection.
Senator Hitchcock chairman Of the
senate Philippine committee now work
ing on the pending bill, said today
he would ask the war department to
submit to the committee a full report
Of any insurrectionist activities when
the committee resumes hearings We'd
nesday. He said today he had not yet
received any official reports on the

ON The FIELD OF BATTLE
Writer Tells Of the Various Distances
at Which Bodies Of Men Can
Be Distinguished.

Some of the enterprising CORE
spondents have been writing some
wonderful tales from alleged inter-
views with wounded men and others
in the European war, says the Army
and Navy Journal. One of the best
Of these gems told of troops aiming
their rifles at the enemy one mile
away and using the buttons on the
coat as an aiming point, in order to
make hits more certain. The follow
ing facts may be useful in throwing
little. light on the yarn. Men Of
ordinary sight and under ordinary con-
ditions of air and light can distinguish
troops as follows; At 100 yards all
the parts OF mans body are seen
distinctly, including the general lines
Of the face; slight movements are per-
ceptible; the minutest details of the
uniform, such as buttons, may be
counted. At 200 yards the outlines of
the face are confused and the rows of
buttons are invisible, but the color of
the facings, especially If bright, is still
apparent At 400 yards the face is
a mere dot, but all movements of the
legs and arms are still distinct At
500 yards the movements of the arms
are still perceptible. At 600 yards
all otails disappear If the light be
e'rong, however, the files of a squad
~ be counted, and individual move
sneuts may be distinguished. At 800
yards the men cannot be counted and
Individual movements are indistin-
Unstable. At 1000 yards a line of
zen resembles a broad line, the uni
form width Of which is broken above
by the line Of heads and below by the
line of legs.

companies as do have safety rules
have based them on limited and in

Action on state Laws.

In various suits during the past

of state laws was challenged, laws Of
Georgia and Mississippi attempting to
provide form of enforcement of the
contract of employment under certain
conditions being declared void, as was
law of Illinois forbidding the use Of
emery wheels, etc. for polishing proc
esses in easements, without refer
ence to the actual conditions as to
ventilation, and one Of Louisiana lin
iting the hours of labor Of certain
classes of stationary engineers. All
these laws we're held to attempt un,
justifable determinations.
The state of Mississippi still stands
alone with a law regulating the hours
Of labor Of factory workers without re-
gard to sex. This law, which was last
year declared constitutional, was
again upheld, as was the ten-hour law

the place, which was In heavy scrub,
After much labor they succeeded in
bringing the best part of the section
into state Of productivity. They
had MIXED for three years, and were
the earners Of a comfortable little
income, when Pango's brother died.
AS is usual, monster 'tangi' was
convened, and it cost Pango over one
thousand dollars. On top of this the
father passed away, leaving many
creditors. Pango was forced to clear
this off also. He then discovered that
he was ruined. Taking heart again,
he went to another place and started
afresh. There, in time, he was able
to invest in Is COWS, and in every
way again proved his energy and in.

child belonging to the little commun
fly died. and big "tangi" has been
