FOR CLARK STREET STATION
The Christmas spirit will invade
the dingy Clark street station this
year for the thirteenth time at the
holiday season. Men and women
prisoners alike will be given Christ

The call is signed by men of such
prominence as George Plekanhof and
the former deputy, Gregory Alexinsky.
ave, the signers, represent various
groups which differ in many things"
SAYS the call, "but we are allied in the
belief that the defeat of Russia in the
war with Germany also would be the
defeat of Russia in the struggle for
freedom. Having this conviction, we
believe the friends of Russia should
subordinate their differences and unite
in friendly. loyal service to the country

O'RYAN URGES ONE
NAN HEAD FOR GUARD
Inability to Leave Country With
out Act of Law Decried.

In speech advocating preparedness
before the Technology Club yesterday
afternoon Major General John +.
Organ, head of the National Guard OF
New York State, said that the greatest
weakness Of the militia in the event Of
war would be that they could not be
sent out of the country until their
status had been changed into that Of
volunteers by act Of law.
"The result would be that the militia
would have TO remain at standstill
for a considerable time" continued
General Organ. at is a vast under
taking TO change the status Of more
than 100000 men. This ] regard a
very serious defect"
The speaker said another great weak
ness of the guard is that it is without
single head. Without saying so, 1t
was thought he advocated the federali-
cation of the citizen soldiers.
"The National Guard OF the United
States" he said, sis composed of forty
eight little armies. Each army has its
own individual method Of enforcing
what is prescribed by the War Depart
ment. This violates the principle or
unity of control, so valuable in mill
tarv work. For the United States TO be
in position of making known ITS
wishes and indicating its desires TO
each of these forty eight little armies
is all wrong. There should be a one

on the death o. the late British Min
lister - Mexico severely criticises both
President Wilson and the British gov
eminent for the Huerta incident of
1914. The paper says that Sir Lionel
went TO Mexico at the request Of Sir
Edward Grey. Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, and saved hundreds OF British
and American lives. only TO be subse-
queutly broken, it declares, because he
insisted on the retention OF Huerta as
Provisional President at the Foreign
Secretary's dictation.
This proved TO be the rock on which
he split" adds the Gazette" The in
trigues OF the Washington admlnistra-
ton were too strong for him, and, as
he was not supported by his own gov
eminent, he was compelled TO return
TO England.
Like Regulus. he had kept his oath
going to Mexico much against his will.
Also, like that brave Roman who went

Sir Lionel returned home TO find his
influence undermined, his reputation
assailed and his appointment for

at Rio de Janeiro, which never ma

ASKED BY DANIELS
Let Defence Millions Be Spent
in Nays Own Workshops,
the Secretary Urges.

Raleigh. n. c.. Oct. 2O.-What the
navy expects TO do toward preventing
private manufacturers from reaping
excessive profits on the expenditure
OF hundreds of millions involved in the
administrations national defence pro-
gramme was outlined here to-day BY
Secretary Daniels in a speech at the
North Carolina State Fair.
Mr.. Daniels said his annual report TO
Congress would recommend legislation
TO enable the government to equip II
self TO build more naval craft. make it's
own armor plate and greatly extend its
manufacture of munitions.
THE government has invested many
millions of dollars in navy ards" said
the Secretary, and unless this invest
ment is utilized for new construction
much of it is wasted II the govern
ment is prepared TO construct naval
craft. private shipbuilding companies
desiring contracts must compete With
government yards"
Mr.. Daniels pointed out that the
government paid 80 cents a pound 20
private manufacturer few years
ago for making powder. but the navy
now was making it at a cost of about
% cents pound. These cases could
be multiplied" the Secretary added.

BURIED THREE DAYS
BY TURKISH MINE
Five British Soldiers, Working
Underground, Dig Them
selves Out.

London, Oct 20 Gallipoli PENN
sula, where some Of the fiercest fight
ing of the war has been staged, has
become the scene OF underground bat
Ting. The infantry and the artillery
have been mparatively inactive for
the last week, but the miners have been
busily engaged
The staunchest nerve and the hardl-
est fortitude are needed for these sub
terranean advances, for the men work
ing underground may find themselves
suddenly buried alive by the wrecksge
wrought by the enemy's shells.
One of these instances occurred on
Monday. The Turkish guns had been
pounding one of the Anafarta trenches
held by the British so heavily that 1t
became necessary TO withdraw the gar
rison. Hardly had the troops fallen
back than the enemy succeeded in eX-
ploding a mine under the trench.
Working under ii were five British
miners digging toward the foes lines.
The dirt Of the trench dislodged by
the explosion covered the passageway,
and the five men were closed in the
tunnel So completely were they buried
that their comrades gave them up as
lost.
To-day the five miners reported to
their company After three days they
had dug themselves out of their tomb,
subsisting meanwhile on the little food
they had with them. They were none
the worse for their ordeal.
An official statement issued tonight
says:
The general officer commanding the
NJ :
that during the last week there has
been little to report as regards the
operations above ground, but that on
both sides mining activity has been
considerable.
At Hill 60 the Turks exploded a
mine at an evidently predetermined
hour. Unfortunately for the enemy,
the mine exploded beneath his own
lines and entanglements, causing
much damage to his own trench, but
none 10 ours.
