IS WORKING AS
 ORDINARY LABORER
Viscount Charlem0nt Pre- fers to Fabricate Weapons
 Rather Than Use Them

London, October 25.-(special)-Just when Viscount Charlemont will be able to pay another visit to Coney Island is somewhat doubtful at present The vis- count, who is an Irish peer, Is fonder or Coney Island, perhaps, than anybody else in the world, but he is far too busy, just now, to go there or anywhere else. Like another nobleman, Lord Norbury, the viscount is now doing munitions work In a government factory, where he is draw ing the noble pay of 25 shillings Cor about Se.25) per week, and any further sums for piece work that he can manage to earn. But his proud ambition Is to be thu platter. Here is part of 8 letter he re- gently wrote to friend in Ireland about his work.
 q consider myself very fortunate in holding the position of an ordinary me- chanic' in a government factory at 25s week and any more piece-worlS that can add on. So far I have never sunk below G1 15s, and have risen to @ los, so that l am really in status equal to theordinary mill hand at Coal Island.
 T do not really count as unslsilled la
 
 work as a trade unionist without any comment being made. I expect shall end by joining the tinplaters."
 Lord Charlemont is 35 and succeeded to his historic title in 1913 His family motto is particularly appropriate just now. It is ''Deo duce ferro, comftante. and means God my leader the sword my ompanion''-"ferro" being literally iron. The reason that the viscount is so fond of Coney Island Is that he owns it, from which you will conclude that the , Coney referred to is not the American pleasure resort of that name. Nay, the earl's "Coney'' is pretty island off the coast of Armagh which has been owned by this noble family for years, and where its heads always have been fond of re- siding. The late viscount, who fought in the Crimea and later was famous comp [ troler of the viceregal household at Du- blin, was particularly partial to the 2 island.
 The Charlemonts used to be earls but this higher dignity became extinct with the father of the late Crimean veteran. One of them helped odefeat the Spanish armada and for this and other services was given a peerage in 1920. The anbi- I tions making viscount owns property in Eboth Armagh and Tyrone, including one of the few coIlieries of Ireland, and pos sesses some fine portraits by Kneller SLely and Reynolds. Exactly why his lordship prefers to fabricate the imple- Nments of war instead of using them has E yet to be explained

SERVIAN ARMY IS
 GREATLY REDUCED
German Paper Says Fighting Strength Is Reduced to Between SO,000
 and 100, ,O00 Rifles

Berlin, November 27.-(By Wireless to sayville )-Dispatches from the Balkan theatre of war to the Cologne Heitung state that the "Servian army is reduced to between s0000 and 100000 rlfies." according to an item given out by the Overseas News agency. It is said that the Servian soldiers "do not represent the same de- fensive power as previously, since now entire groups surrender with their officers in cases which in former and better times of the Servian army would not have been considered hopeless"
 Further the Servians no longer arc defending their native soil." continues the item, "since the majority of the troops from old Servia have lost their fanati- cism and after a feeble defense of their positions continue to retreat. The num- Der of prisoners among the officers is increasing. Also numerous prisoners for merly taken by the Servians have been left behind, which is characteristic of decreasng readiness for battle.

UNITED STATES MUST HAVE
 A GREAT ARMY AND NAVY


It is evident at this chaotic moment of the worlds history. more than at any other recent time, the different na- tions bear the same relation to each other that individuals do in that prin- itive state of society when each man must of necessity, from lack of high CT judiciary, be a law unto himself and must, in order to demand the re- spect which is necessary for his self protection, manifest the source of his power.
 In spite of the fallacious security which, through recent years, has lulled us to sleep with the belief that war was a thing of the past and that hence- forth international arbitration would adjust all such difficulties, the world was rudely awakened to its error by the sudden and brutal descent of the armed force of mighty Germany upon inoffensive and comparatively defense- less but valiant and heroic Belgium as the first barbaric step in scheme of conquest so vast, so premeditated and so unchristian, that we were forced to open our eyes in horror at this wholly unanticipated reversion to savage in- stincts and methods. And now since nearly all of the principal nations of the world are precipitated in this fierce and primitive struggle for existence. who shall sit beside the United States of America upon the bench of justice and help to arbitrate, or, without great CT military power. how shall we ad- minister international law Or how dare we, however peace-loving and prosperous, sit unarmed to defend that peace and that prosperity?
 GERMAN AGGRESSION
 How can nation with Anglo Saxon blood in it's veins cry, peace at any price," when the possibilities are so imminent which could mean dishonor and submission if we would have peace? What guarantee have we, should the war lord of Germany conquer in this fight, that he will not, drunk with his victory. ally his diminished strength. after a slight recuperation, with that of Japan-our always pos from both sides, for who can guess the extent of Germany's acquisitive ambi- tion? f5
 In such a possible contingency our unpreparedness would not then ap- pear to even the most peace-loving in the light of Christian forbearance, but merely an evidence of inexcusable fool hardiness-a sort of lethargic greed which, as in the case of decadent Rome. has caused us to forget our wiser and truer patriotism while we busy our grasping moneys getting hands with the spells of other nations wars. Is is not possible that we do but flatter our selves with a mistaken idea of the mo- tive for our inaction toward prepared ness?
 Already we have been treated to numerous instances of the Kaiser's

WILSON INTERESTED IN BIG PROTESTANT
 ENDOWMENT FUND

Chicago, November 2.-A letter from President Wilson. expressing deep interest in the campaign by Protestant churches to raise an endowment fund aggregat- ing $65, 900 for pensioning preachers. was received today by the Rev. John T. B, Smith of the board of conference claimants of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 Dr. Smith announced the Presbyterians have obtained s4,000 900 of it's proposed Sl0 COG, ,00O endowment; the Methodists $5,0O0 = 900 of its $15,000,000 fund and the Congre- ga tionalists have begun the work of rais- ing a fund of &, ,0O0,0 600, Other Protestant denominations are asking for funds az gregating $37,000,000.

contempt for our lack of inclination or immediate power to resent by his numerous spies and incendiaries in our midst, their wanton destruction of our plants of industry, and his impudent, reckless and repeated assaults upon the lives of our voyaging citizens, an offense for which neither England, Germany nor France would stand with out the backing power to punish In- deed, several instances at different pe- riods may be cited when foreign trav- cling American citizens in need of pro- lection have appealed to the ever ready and powerful arm of Great Britain, rather than await the uncertain or de- layed action of their own Uncle Sam.
 CIVIL WARS LESSONS
 History is full of examples of the folly and disadvantage of unprepared- ness, one within our intimate knowl- edge being that of our own civil war; when the vast host of the north was almost taken by storm, and at first nearly conquered. through the fact that every mothers son of the south, though so greatly outnumhered, knew how to ride and shoot, while the north must enter green and unwieldly the unaccustomed occupation of self-de- fense.
 DANGER OF DISPUTES
 Whichever way the tide shall turn in the present gigantic struggle, there shall for time, at least, be great dan ger of commercial disputes between the United States and all the other coun- tries on account of the great increase of trade. which, while they are fighting and when they shall be engaged in recuperation afterward, has come and will continue to come to us.
 Therefore, since the present war has taught us that the millennium is not yet come and the world, in reference to its idealic state, Is still in it's in- fancy, it behooves us, not only to fol- low the advice of our most wise, peace- loving and patriotic President by hold ing in readiness a greater army than We now possess. and through two months annual training of a sufficient number of private citizens, and then with the steady prepartion of our col lege men and high school boys. keep up an adequate reserve force without the expense and internal menace of a large standing army. but more espe- cially. considering our great length of coast, and the Panama canal, together with the Philippines to defend. we should at least possess a navy as large if not larger, than that of any other nation.
 Not for the purpose of aggressive warfare. but that we may command an honorable peace.
