Representatives Gardner of Massachu-
sets. and Kahn of California, vigorous
ly insisted that the present defences of
the country were Inadequate, though
they agreed with Mr.. Hay that there
was no immediate prospect of the United
States being involved in war.
How people can claim" said Rep.
Hay, that the great nations now at
war, which are eXhaustng themselves
financially and physically as soon as the
war is over are going to turn around
and attack the strongest nation on earth,
is beyond my comprehension. The Unit
ed States has a latent power greater
than any other country, or of any other
three countries in the civilized world.
1t is going to maintain peace with all
the world. That is the policy of this
country, not only of the administration,
but of the entire citizenry.''

so sudden and violent Is the re-

and the problem of dealing with the
Jewish refugees who are pouring into
Alexandria by sea from Syrian ports
threatens to assume proportions only
less formidable than those of the re-
cent Belgian migrations. Seven thous-

GEO. ". PERKINS, DANIEL
CuCCENHE|M AND BERW|ND
WITNESSES AT INVESTIGATION
Testify as to Industrial Unrest and Influence
of Philanthropic Foundations

New York, Jan. 21-George W. Per-
kins. director Of many large corpora
tions: Daniel Guggenheim, who has
world wide mining interests, and who
is president of the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Co., and Z. J. Berwind,
millionaire coal mine owner, were the
witnesses who testified today in the
investigation being conducted by the
federal commission on industrial rela-
lions into the great philanthropic or
CARNATIONS and the cause of industrial
unrest.
Critieizes Sherman Law
Mr.. Perkins testified that he believed
the Sherman law had worked to re-
tard the industrial development Of ths
United States that legislation bring
ing labor organizations under the con-
troll of the federal government was
needed and that cooperation and not
competition vas the life of trade. Fur
Their, he said that in his opinion big
business was able to do more for the
workers OF the country than the small
units. He did not believe the govern
ment would improve upon the present
methods employed in the administra-
ton Of the funds of tho philanthropic
foundations, but that it would require
statements concerning the detail of the
administration a I regular intervals. He
was in favor Of organized labor, pro-
viding that honest, efficient men were
at the head of it.
Industrial depression and unemploy-
ment, the witness thought, were due
to the defects and NAL -administra =
ton of federal laws and administra-
ton. He said many of our present
laws, both federal and state We're old
and useless. Germany, he pointed GU:
has long since discarded antiquated
laws and made new ones applicable
to the present days of big business
instead of business BY small units.
a law passed at the time of the en-
actment Of the Sherman law to pre-
vent stock watering and over-cap itali-
cation in railroad and industrial orga :
nizations would have done much to-
ward protecting investors, consumers
and labor generally and would pre-
vent such NAL administration, he be
lieved.

The Horses of st. Mark.

The horses of St. Mark were tax
en- from Chios il the fourth century
by the Emperor Theodosius and
placed in the great hippodrome at
Constantinople, whence they We're
taken by the Venetians in the year
1904. Venice and Constantinople
were bitter rivals in trade, and
largely through Venetian intrigue
and diplomacy the fourth crusade
was turned from it's original pur-
pose into that of the capture and
practical destruction of the splen-
did city on the Bosporus, thus max
ing it possible later on for the
Turks to establish themselves on

during the sack Of the city by the
crusaders that it was despoiled of

A CITY TN A SALT Mine.
Wonders Of a Singular Underground
Town In Galicia.


Wieliczka, some six miles from
Cracow, in Galicia, is an interest
ing town, not for what is in it, but
for what is under it. The salt mine
there is the greatest in the world
and the most wonderful. 1t actual
ly forms an underground city. The
Wieliczka salt mine is two and one
half miles long from east to west
and 1850 yards wide from north to
south, says writer in the Man
chester Guardian.
1t has seven levels. and the low
est is nearly 1000 feet deep. 1t is
entered by eleven shafts. The differ
ent levels are connected by lights
of steps hevn ont Of the rock salt.
In the nine are chaTcIS, tramways,

! The oldest ''building" in the mine
is the chapel Ct St. Anthony, which
dates from 1851. 1t contains three
affairs, a pulpit and much statuary,

chapel of St. Cunigunde, which is
entered by descending forty-six salt
steps. The chapel is fifty yards
long, fifteen yards wide and thirty
feet high and is used regularly for
worship.
The ballroom is a huge room,
where the miners often hold their
festivals. A miners orchestra plays
regularly in the hall, not only for
the dances, but for the entertain

ment on the Wilhelmstrasse reply 70
the Lusitanis note follows the obvious
lines. the main points being that 1t IS
mere preliminary 70 further eX-
change of views, and that Germany,
Of course, will not abandon her sub
marine war upon commercial Shipping.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" allows its
naval correspondent, Captain Perslus,
TO make one of the most insolent at
tacks on the United States that has
vet been published. In an article which
NAV be intended by German naval au-
thorities to keep German diplomacy up
to the mark he writes:
zone must not be under any illu-
sions. The North American wants TO
do business. This desire is universal.
He desires that the war shall last still
a long time II is not only the am
munition firms that cherish this wish.
A considerable percentage OF the
North American people is following
with enormous excitement the contlh-
ual rise in ammunition factory
shares. and the eager longing to make
profits in this way has put the masses
into a wild state of excitement. NO
doubt certain people, as true frlends
of peace, turn away IN horror, out
their influence is small. NO. North
America is enjoying the part OF
tertius gaudens, and will not lightly
abandon il. The cries of Indignation
about the murder of North American
women and children are proofs OF
morality. and are also cheap, but II Is
mistake TO regard them as more
than by-play which will speedily come
to nothing
