SUBSCRIBERS SIGN CHARTER.
National Swimming Club Soon to
Be Incorporated.

The charter for the National SWIM
ming Club is being signed by a large
number of Washingtonians today. and
as soon as the signatures OF all the
subscribers have been obtained the
body is to be incorporated.
The club is to be incorporated for the
purpose of building in Washington q
large indoor swimming pool. which
shall be the f}st word in swimming
pool construction 1t Is to be open only
to members, their families and guests.
There will be seats for about as many
spectators as the average theater. so that
the clubs competitive swimmers can be
seen in action against every college
and athletic club in the country. 1t
might be possible, too, to have an an
nual swimming meet between West
Point and Annapolis, stimulating the
art in both branches of the service.
1t is the idea of the founders of the
club to have every member and the in
dividual members of his immediate
family become literally at homo in the
water by instruction from corps OF
volunteer instructors under the leader
ship Of the clubs president.

The Fur Farming Industry.
From the New York Times.

From the New YORK Times.
Dressed furs and .manufa ctures of
furs were imported into the United
States in 1913 to the amount of $15,-
SO3,704. No such supply from foreign
countries will be available while the
war lasts. Russian commerce is al
most entirely interrupted; Canadian
resources are largely at the command
of the belligerents. Germany's order
for 10000 fur coats, presumably for
her officers. will be paralleled by un-
precedented demand upon furriers
among the allies.
The present shortness Of supply is an
incentive to the infant industry of fur
farming in the United States. Pursued
from Alaska to Pennsylvania. the In
dustry, at least in finer grades, has won
precarious success by fashions favor.
and skunk, less dependent upon fash
ionable whim, will encourage both
farmers with considerable capital in
vested and country boys who are trying
half acre and plenty of hard work into
a profit that spells opulence for them.
1t will also place new responsibilities
upon much metamorphosed rabbit pelts,
they have brought nearly 100000 an
nually in the London market.
Fur farming is not mushroom In
dustry doomed to decay when peace
treaties are TdVlucu oiudu LUZ -oedF :
ing animals are being exterminated
in the United States through trapping
which clears more than $10.ooo.o0o an
nually. In fact, the skins gathered
on this continent and sold in England
and the United States annually total
s60, ,000, ,000 Before long the natural
supply must be not merely supple
mented. but largely replaced by the
cultivated farm product. The present
crisis merely accelerates inevitable
development.

TO OBSERVE JOHN HUsS DAY.
Protestant Churches of District Plan
Program of Commemoration.

Sunday, April 25, will be officially
observed by the Protestant denomina-
tions of the District of Columbia as
John Huss day." Definite action to
this effect was taken at the meeting
last week of the Federation Of WASH
ington Pastors. A special committee,
of which Rev. Wallace Radcliffe was
chairman, recommended that recogni-
tion be made in the churches Of GER
tain prominent pre-reformation lead
ers, such as Wickliffe, Thomas a
Kempis, Savonarola and Huss.
The committee specially recommend
ed that April 25 be regarded as John
Huss day, on the afternoon of which
there shall be held a union Protestant
service commemorating his life and
work" These recommendations were
adopted and a committee, consisting of
one clergyman and one layman from
each Protestant denomination, appoint
ed to make arrangements for the OBJ
servance of the martyrs day. The
chairman is DIR. Radcliffe and other
clergymen members are: Revs. Ran

Aeroplanes Of Russian Make.

From the American Review Of Revtews.
SukhomlinoY saw that a weak point
in the Russian army was that too much
of its equipment came from Abroad

present shows: So he set himself busily
building up arms factories, cartridge
factories and SO on within the bound
aries Of Russia, and at the same time
established a central laboratory where
new mechanisms, explosives, inventions
might be tried out
He also organised-and this gives US
tho measure Of his foresight-a first
class school of military aviation, and
set the best Russian mechanics at the
development and manufacture Of aero
planes, which today take tho place Of
cavalry az 'the eyes Of tho army" The
result Is that for the last four or FIVE
years Russia has been making her own
aeroplanes and training a large staff
of officers able to use them. Sukhom-
linon also developed an effective corps
Of army automobiles. for the rapid
transport of men and supplies.

From the Seattle Post-Intellirencer.

WHY BRITAIN NEEDS JAPAN.
"A Toxic Paper Outlines the Logic
Behind the Alliance.

From the Mainichi Duepo, Toxic.
We are convinced that it is matter
of the utmost Importance that Brltons
beyond the seas should make better
attempt at fraternizing with Japan, as
better relations between the English
speaking races and Japan will have
vital bearing on the destiny Of the en-
pire.
There is no reason why the British
colonies fronting on the Pacihc should
not actively participate In the Anglo
Japanese alliance. Britain needs popu-
lation of it's surplus land and Japan
needs land for it's surplus population.
This fact alone should draw the two
races closer together. Moreover, the
British people have ample capital, but
deficiency of labor, while it is the re-
verse with Japan.
Great Britain already has close rela-
tions with the races of Asia, and as
Japan is among the foremost of those
races Britain's surest way of peaceful
advance would be by the aid OF Japan.
1t Is to Japan that the west must look
for a complete harmonization OF ori-
entail and occidental ideals. Britain's
worldwide territory requires world
wide police. which is impossible for
Britain without the aid and sympathy
of Japan In case of rebellion in
India or South Africa, Great Britain
would be greatly handicapped should
second enemy descend through Persia
unless Japan were on hand to check
such ambition.

Filling British Ranks.
, Manchester Guardia Z

From The Manchester Guardian.
If England had an emergency con-
scription for the present war. who
would be taken and who would be
left? Just a hundred years ago. when
invasion seemed imminent. conscrip-
tion exisisted for all practical purposes.
By the militia act of 1908, suspended
in 1916, every unmarried man from
eighteen to forty-f1ve, not being an
eldest son, was compelled to serve
and undergo regular training, unless
he could procure a substitute. Certain
professional and other persons were
excepted. The training seems to have
been somewhat on the lines of that OF
the territorial force, and did not ne
cessitate removal from home. In Eng
land the precedents are always looked
up. and just now the period in which
to search for precedents is that of the
Napoleonic wars.

In presenting the Victoria Cross to

Influenced by the original order. which

THE CHEEKY CH1PMUNK.
Belongs to the Squirrel Tribe, But
Olimbs Little.
rsn ths New York Tribuue

rfen the New York Tribune.
OF all the squirrel tribe. the chip
munk is the most common. He seems
to have a fondness for civilization
which the others lack, and delights to
be near mankind. AS a result, and be-
cause OF his confding and fearless
nature, this little squirrel may often
be found quite near to tho house. or.
if you happen to be in the woods. he
will investigate your tent with in
quisitive nose and patterinG feet.
Unlike tho other squirrels. the chip
munk, tackee or ground squirrel. as he
Is variously called, is far more at home
upon the ground than in the treetops;
II it is possible to avoid 1t. Perhaps
this Is because he Is not equipped with
the bushy tail that the tree-lovfng
squirrels use as a combination rudder
and balancing pole.
The burrow of the chipmunk is a
rather curious affair. The main tunnel
or entrance often extends into the
ground for three feet or more. at which
point side chambers usually branch OH;
in one of these side chambers the chip
munk makes his winter nest, the others
being used as storage places for pro
visions. often a bushel or more of nuts
and grains being stored therein for
winter consumption.
All OF CHeS6 PROVISIONS are CdTIieu "
the nest in the curious cheek pouches
OF the little animal; in the late autumn
chipmunks may be seen darting about
with these pouches so distended with
their cargo as to make the little fell
lows look as if afflicted with an epi-
demic of mumps. When he considers
his larder sufficiently stocked the chip
munk retires to his nest for the win
ter. His little birdlike tracks on the
snow in even the coldest weather prove
that he ventures abroad occasionally
for exercise at least. If you dig down
into his burrow in the dormant sea
son you are apt to find from two to
six of the little fellows curled UP
snugly in the one nest-a situation
never found in the homes of the other
squirrels.
The chief enemies of the chipmunks
are the small boy with stick and aiI
rife, the weasel, the hawk and the
owl. The worst of these, however. is
the small boy. The chipmunk may not
be of any value as destroyer of ami
NAL or vegetable pests. but he is never
theless a CHEEKY. harmless little fellow
who makes the woods bright with his
happy. chirping cry and the patter OF
his tiny feet.

A LONG BREATH AND OWED OUT
INTO THE SMILING POOL.

happy. Once in while he would get
a bit of news from the outside world
from Billy Mink, who occasionally
came down from the Laughing Brook
Smiling Pool. And once in great
while Little Joe Otter would make him
visit and try to get him to come up
to certain spring hole, where he had
such sport is little too exciting for
Jerry, and he was quote content to
take Little Joe's word for it that there
Is no sport like it.
Altogether it was a wonderfully
peaceful, quiet little world of itself
down there in the Smiling Pool. with
the waterweeds swaying ever SO little
in the dim light. with no storms and
with the water never colder or warm
er. but always Just the same, and Jerry
thought it quite the finest place ever
was. But, despite its peacefulness and
the easy time he was having, Jerry
never forgot that sometimes danger is
near when it seems farthest away, and
every day he took the greatest care to
make sure that no strange Mink had
found the Smiling Pool. That was the
only danger he had to fear, and he
didn't mean to take any chances, even
though everything seemed so safe and
secure.
When he had nothing else to do he
sometimes hunted for Grandfather
Frog. He knew that somewhere in the
mud at the bottom OF the Smiling Pool
was the bed where Grandfather Frog
was sleeping the winter away, but
look as he would he never could find it.
Nor could he find Spotty the Turtle,
who also had gone to sleep for the
winter.
I'D like to wake them just for fun
thought Jerry, as he hunted. II think
it would be great fun" And this goes
to show how little We really know
about those who are our closest neigh
bors. If Jerry had found them he
couldn't have walked them. They were
in too deep a sleep. Only Sweet Mis-
tress Spring has the magic touch to
waken them.

Yes, sir, that is Just what Jerry
Muskrat does. The fact is in the win
ter. when other people are having a
hard time, Jerry Muskrat takes solid
comfort in the Smiling Pool he loves
50 we'll. 1t doesn't make the least bit
of difference to him what the weather
is after the Smiling Pool is frozen over
1t NAV rain or snow or he bitter. bitter
cold up above but down where he is
he knows nothing about it, 1t is al
ways just the same there. The water
gets no colder and is always Just the
same, With just the gentlest of motions
as the slight current moves it Where it
Is shallow the water may freeze clear
to the bottom, but out in the middle it
is too deep for this, and Jerrys care
fully made Railways from his house
lead straight to this deep part, where
he is always sure of water.
Now, Jerry had worked hard to build
his house ana dig his tunnels in the
bank All through the summer and
late i'll the fall lie had been very busy
that he had earned the right to rest
and take things easy. So lie slept
great deal in the upper chamber of his
house. When he felt hungry he drew
Il long DTeatT, ulNeO down ana out INTO
the Smiling Pool. and from the soft
mud at the bottom dug up a lily root
or Il fat clam, which he took back to
his house to eat. Sometimes there was
a little space between the water and
the ice. or just under the edge of the
bank, and there Jerry found plenty of
fresh air. When there wasn't any such
space and Jerry had held his breath
just as long as he could, what do you
think he did? Why. he let the air out
of his lungs. the air that was no longer
good, and when it bubbled up against
the ice it became purified, and he could
use it over again.
So while his neighbors on land shiv-
cred with cold, or went hungry much
of the time. Jerry Muskrat lived in
solid comfort. He slept a great deal,
but he also took plenty of exercise
and enjoyed his daily swims under the
ice quite as much as he does his swim
ming in summer, when there is no ice.
His waterproof fur coat kept him dry
and warm, and altogether he was very
