ANANIAS FOR TAFT
Calls Latest Statement Bunch of
"Paltry Personalities"

Washington. Dec. After reading
eN-President Taft's attack on the ad-
illustrations Philippine policy to-day,
Secretary OF War Garrison issued the
following statement:
II have read the statement OF Mr..
Taft published IN this mornings pa
pers. lie makes il perfectly clear that
he is viewing the Philippine question
as one affecting the interests OF few
persons who are disgruntled and
through whose eyes he reflects opinions
and impressions. As is natural under
these circumstances, this statement,
like his previous statement, is filled
with matter contrary 10 fact and dis
proved by the records. In so impor-
tant a matter az his adverse criticism
OF the bill recognizing the judiciary
il is obvious that he has not taken the
trouble TO inform himself of the con
tents thereof No good purpose can be
served by continuing any further dis
cussion upon this plane.
THE only matter worthy 81 consid-
eration-and that is one worthy Of the
best consideration that we are able 20
give it's what is the proper principle
or policy 70 obtain in the relations Of
the government Of the United States
TO the people Of the Philippine Islands.
When Mr.. Taft and others who are in
terested will rid the question Of paltry
personalities and approach the great
issues involved with an earnest spirit
to reach a proper solution, the debate
can proceed upon a plane worthy OF the
dignity and Importance Of the subject
matter"

DEATH, Then WAR!
End of King of Greece May
Throw Nation i'm Conflict.
Election June 13 to Determine
Present Attitude.

Athens, June 10.-With her mon
arch lying critically ill in the royal
palace Greece is about to decide
whether she shall return to power a
ministry whose program calls for par
ticipation in the European war.
The election will be held June 13.
They will mark the close of a contest
between the two greatest men that
modern Greece has produced-King
Constantine, whose mastery handling
of the nations resources in the two
Balkan wars raised him to the rank
of modern Greece's greatest general,
and former Premier Venizelos, whose
craftsmanship solidified the results of
the military successes achieved by the
king.
Venizelos fell from power at the
very moment when he was more than
ever the idol of the entire Greek ma
ton. The allies had just offered
large territorial compensations in
Asia Minor if Greece would partici-
pate with them against the Darda-
nelIes. Venizelos ardently supported
the program and had public opinion
behind him.
King Constantine placed himself
against acceptance of this offer with
such firmness that Venizelos was
obliged to resign.
Since then practically all Greece, as
well as the large Greek colonies in
Egypt and other parts of the world,
have rallied in determination to re-
turn to power the Venizelos party.

WARNING TO BLONDES
Philadelphia Doctor Tells Them How
to Avoid Skin Cancers.

Philadelphia, June 10.-Women of
the blonde type take warning.
You must, above all things, If you
are to avoid cancer of the skin, stay
out of the hot sun.
That admonition was made by DR..
Frank G. Knowles during an illumi-
mating discussion on the treatment of
skin diseases before 800 members of
the Philadelphia County Medical So
ciety. DR.. Knowles said:
"a great percentage of skin diseases
are cancerous growths. The blonde
type of woman when subjected to the
rays of the sun is very susceptible to
the disease. Not only the blonde
woman. but the woman possessing a
freck1ed face must avoid the sun. Such
much trouble

HIRE MOTOR CARS

This Carries Out ~Bad Prac-

Election Probe Came to an End
This Afternoon.

Kansas City, June 10.-The investi-
cation of the recent municipal cleo
ton in Kansas City, Kan, begun sew
eral weeks ago, will close this after
noon.
"I think the investigation has
brought out beyond any doubt that
bad practices exist in Kansas City
politics." said Governor Arthur Cap
per, who has been attending the hear
ing. They exist in the use of motor
cars and hired workers for the pur-
pose of controlling elections. I find
this is not confined to one party or to
one faction but is a practice generally
engaged in by all the politicians. 1t
is a political condition that should be
stopped.
irregularities seem confined to a
few precincts, the city at large eSpe-
cially the residence precincts, being
all right
Governor Capper said he had not
yet decided what official action he
would take following the probe.

Berlin, June 10.-The Vorwaertz
commenting on the resignation of
William ]. Bryan, says Mr.. Bryan has
always been a utopian peace enthu-
siast and his leaving the cabinet now
means undoubtedly that the new
American note will not lack much of
being an ultimatum to Germany.
Event of Greatest importance.
1--WE, therefore, have to do here
with an event of the greatest impor-
tance,'' says the Vorwaertz.
Count Won Reventlow, in the Tages
Zeitung, repeats that Germany can
not recede in any degree from the
stand already taken, no matter what
President Wilson's note may demand.
Even the imputation, the writer de-
clares would be considered by the
entire country as an insult.
Die Post, in it's issue of today, calls
attention to the sailing of steamships

"Our submarines must destroy
these munitions, and whence they
come and who does a good business in
them, is immaterial. If England does
not hesitate to carry passengers on
board the same ship with this war
material, it is not possible to fulfill
our duties without destroying inno-
cent lives. The responsibility for the
mishap rests on England alone
