TROUBLE ON PEACE SHIP.
Minority Stand by President Wilson's
Preparedness Program.

According to wireless dlspatches'
war has broken out aboard the Ford
peace ship.
Seyera! members of the peace mis-
sion are preparing to quit the party
at Christiania and return to America,
alleging that the extreme pacihsts
have adopted an insulting attitude
toward everybody upholding Presi-
dent Wilson's preparedness program.
Ford himself is doing his best to
prevert an open break, He issued a
statement denying that ne was re-
sponsiole for the steam roller" tactics
alleged to have been employed by the
axtre,ne pacifsts.
As a matter of fact this accusation
was not made against Ford, but
chiefly against the Rev. Charles r.
Al:ed, of San Francisco, former Rock
efeller's pastor, and Rev. Lloyd jan
kin Jones, of Chicago, A complete
sslit is imminent.
The row broke out Friday. DR.. Aked
.he Rev. Mr.. Jones and Arthur L..
Weatl:erby, of Lincoln, Nebr, intro
ducc,i resolution ut a meeting OF
the peace voyagers opposing the
Presidents preparedness plea. Ford
and 81 other peace delegates signed
the declaration. Nine other leaders
refused
DR.. Aked intimated very plainly
that those who refused to attach
tlieir. names to the resolution swoaid
5e unloaded at the first port. The
Yoyagers who refused to sign rushed
20 Ford to find out whether DR.. Aked
had authority for his statement. Ford
denied they would be unloaded, but
continued to support the majority.
The minority carried Ford's mes
sage back to DR.. Aked. The conver-
sation veercd from acrimonious de-
bate to violent alterations, in which
the language became not only ex-
lremely personal, but occasionally
profane. Il. !.

Young man called himself Thomas
Murphy, to, await trial, for grand lar
.eny in the second degree in connec-
lion with the alleged theft of $3.50
oair of diamond earrings from Mrs
Rose Levy, Brooklyn. Several other
women who lost jewelry or money
picked out Murphy's picture in the
:ogues' gallery as that fthe young
man they suspected of victimizing
them.
On December Z a man identified in
The pictures as Murphy went to the
home of Mrs. Levy and told her, the
police say, that her husband. LOUIS
Levy, had been arrested, which WASN'T
true. He led Mrs. Levy to believe that
he and other friends had raised sl,2oC
of the 1900 bail demanded and thai
unless she could furnish the balance
of $500 Levy would; have to stay ir

ond line was lost, and the British
fell back on the third line of defenses.
Two companies Of Inniskillins, how W.
ever, held on to the ridge known as
Keyis Crest and kept back the Bul.
garians the whole morning, although
they were supported only by rifle
fire. Hardly man escaped, but their
stand impressed and delayed the BuE
gars, thus giving the British much
needed time to complete defensive
dispositions in the third line. where
the Bulgars were finally held up for
four days.
The Bulgarians, having suffered
heavily, have since then attempted no
strong offensive up to Sunday.

TILLMAN ON
ROOSEVELT
Tells Senate Colonel is Giant
in Mother Goose's
Melodies
BRYAN IS OBsEssED
Chairman of Naval Committee Urges
Necessity of Establishing Govern
ment Armor Plants.

L wv
Liam ]. Bryan simply obsessed" and
Theodore Roosevelt "the giant in
Mother Goose" Chairman Tillman,
of the Naval Committee, addressed
the Senate yesterday on national de-
tense and assailed what he character
lied as the greed of private manufac-
turers of war materials.
Senator Tillman uphheld Secretary
Daniels administration OF the Navy
Denartment and characterized as
simply outrageous" critics of the
department, numbering among them
former Secretary Meyer.
"The question of preparedness re.
ouires grave consideration ana
prompt action" said Senator Tillman
There are all sorts of opinions and
advice from all quarters-good, bad
and not only unwise but unthinkable
Of adoption except by wild men from
Borneo.
"Mr. Bryan, the evangel of peace
ut any price, is bitterly opposed to
any and all increase. He seems to be
simply obsessed on this subject and
mas lost his usual poise. Ex-President
Roosevelt, on the other hand, VINO
snorts and roars, like veritable bull
of Bashan, poses as the god OF war
md clamors fora very large standing
army and great reserves. He reminds
,ne of the giant in Mother Goose
"Fe, Fl, TO, fun,
( smell the blood of German man;
BE he alive, or be he dead.
ri grind his bones to make my
bread"
The senator said he realized the
necessity for greater army, but that
me navy, "our first line of defense"
should come first.
"The country ought to regard as q g,
public enemy any Senator or member
Sfs Congress &ho tries, to!sdelay or
| .hwart this purpose. Senator TIL
nan declared. 1--WE haye an arm9r
trust. now,"i said :he, "just as we haye
haad. all along and it is doing business
.zt the: same. old sstands-Bethlehem
! Carnegie and Midvale. :
1.-THE critics of~,the Navy Depart
ment, under Secretary Daniels, have
been unusually active and Outrage.
| ous in their work, not hesitating to
even We make false statements" said
the Senator. "The one man particul-
arly active in this criticism has been
his immediate predecessor. Mr.. Mey-
er seems to be unconscious of the
TACT th.t in indicting the navy as he
mas under Secretary Daniels he: in
ruth, is indicting himself and his Re-
publican predecessors: in the Navy
| Department. Congress has appropriat.
I'd enough money, but it has beer
squandered, misappropriated or spent
anwisely. Poor ,oid Massachusetts
.aow unfortunate jim. giving lbirth':tf!
such man as he! ! feel sorry thai
she should be held up. to scorn-
!oy the actions of Mr.. Won on'L.iMeyer,'
Concluding, Senator Tillman made
a plea for prompt action on his Ar
NOR plant Bill.
Nothing but brazen effrontery ant
unbridled greed, aided by official cor
, ruption in Washington" he said, ''ca1
, delay the passage of this bill, and
r hope that it. will become law inside o
80 days." After his address, Senate
Tillman called a meeting of the Nava
Committee for. today and will en-
r deavor to. have his bill reported a
e once to the Senate.

Athens, Dee. IA violent ariai.
lery battle is being fought along tn
Serbo- Greek frontier.
Bulgarian shells are falling en-
Greek territory, but thus far ha G
done no material damage to a, J
Greek property. Dispatches filed from
frontier points late yesterday said
that no Bulgarian or Austro-G German
soldiers had crossed the Greek border.
But before many hours, it is belieV-
ed the pursuit Of the retreating An
elo-French forces will be resumed
and fighting win begin on Greek soil.
One correspondent stationed at
Saloniki, telegraphed that the small
Bulgarian force actually had advanc-.
ed five miles into Greek territory.
Military authorities have no con-
firmation.
Falling back from Glegyeli and
Doiran, the main body Of expedition
ary force eutrenched four miles IN
side the Greek frontier. Their retreat
was covered by an English division
and several French battalions who
held up the Bulgarian advance
throughout Sunday.

Yesterday were directing heavy lire
at the enemy whose advance appar7.
entity was halted while military con"
ference we're going on.
British and French wounded have
been arriving at saloniki for twenty
four hours. They declared that des-
pite the numerical superiority of the
enemy they could have held their
front around Strumnitza for at least
another fortnight, had it been ,neces-
sary. They lost comparatively few
