 |S LARGEST CITY
War Has Served to Reduce !. Population of London and In-
 crease New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Greater New York is now the largest city in the world, having stepped into first place through the effects which the European war has had upon the pop ulation of London.
 Not only has the European war pre- vented the English city frora gaining it's quota of new life by drawing iron, all parts of the world but it has de- creased the population by hundreds of thousands of young men who have been sent to the battlefields.
 The war had a directly opposite ef- feet upon New York as it has served to increase the population by the es- tablishment of hundreds of factories employed. in filling orders for cloth ing. shoes, and other supplies for the European nations.
 New York city, including all bor- oughs., on July 1, 1915, according to the census bulletin had 8 population of 5,333,537, making the estimated population of Greater New York. in- cluding Westchester and New Jersey suburbs, 7,500.000.

FORD DELEGATES
 ARE. .BANQUETTED
Leader of Swedish Peace Society Promises Support If America
 Will Point the Way.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. SO.-The mem- bers of the Henry Ford American peace expedition who has come to Eu- rope to work the miracle of calling the soldiers of the warning nations from the battlefields and bring peace to Europe, were -banquetted last night by the Swedish Peace society.
 The president of the Swedish soci- ety, acting as toast master at the ban quet referred to the members of the expedition as spiritual Vikings" and declared that he believed the mission of the expedition would be fulfilled. The Swedish peace workers would be proud to render assistance to end the war if America will point the way.
 The delegates have so far been un- able to agree upon any method of opening their campaign for peace as the governments of. the nations at war have refused to recognize the ex- petition or. permit the members of the party to enter their countries.

ROOSEVELT URGES
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
Members of Sociological Society Crit.
 else his Statements Regarding Increased Armaments.

WASHINGTON D. c. Dec. 30.- Colonel Roosevelt's paper on national preparedness, in which he justifies the administration national de- fense program, was read before the American Sociological Society here last night, and is receiving liberal comment in the editorial columns of the morning newspapers.
 Colonel Roosevelt declares that for congress to fail to provide funds for equipment for the defense of the nat ion would be criminal and that it will be time to talk about war being abol- ished when cities no longer require the services of policemen.
 Following the reading of Colonel Roosevelt's paper the members of the society criticised the arguments ad- vanced by the writer in favor of in- creasing the defenses of the nation. It was contended that the fact that Belgium had been invaded by the German troops and that Poland had been laid waste through war was not sufficient reason why the American people should burden themselves with the expense of maintaining a large army and increased navy

HAVE IMPROVED
 GERMAN SYSTEM
American Scientists will Establish Nitric Acid Plant in South
 Carolina on Large Scale.

NEW YORK, Dec. BOA company of New York capitalists is being or ganized to engage in the manufacture of acids which were formerly import ted from Europe before the war, and for which the manufacture of muni- tions has caused an enormous de- mAnd.
 When the organization of the syn- dicate has been perfected it will es- tablish at some point in South Caro- lina a plant having a capacity for producing four tons of nitric acid daily. The acid will be manufactur- ed by a special process said to have first been discovered by a German scientist, and but recently improved upon an American chemist. The ni- trates, among the most powerful ex- plosives known, will be manufact- ured from nitrogen, by passing cur rent of air over powerful arcs.
 The process to be used in the Carolina plant has been demonstrat- ed by scientists working in the in- terests of the New York capitalists to be practical from an economic stand point.
 The German process of extracting nitrates from the air has long been known to American scientists for years but the discovery was regarded as of little value as the cost of the acids was too high when brought into competition with the byproducts of the metal refineries. The improved system devised by the American sci entists is said to have overcome the matter of cost and to have Sendered the process practical. :.....

HOTEL O|LLER
 WILL BE CLOSED
Hotel Company Prefers to Go Out of Business than to Pay High Rents
 Without Liquor Sales.

SEATTLE, Dec. 3O.-It is announc- ed that the Diller Hotel. which was established twenty-five years ago, and which for years has been regarded for headquarters for Alaskans in Se- attle, will close its doors owing to the refusal of the landlord to reduce the rent.
 In a statement issued this morning Manager Munger states that the Dill Ter, which is operated by a company, Is being forced out of business by the refusal of the landlord to meet the changed conditions which will result from prohibition which goes irto ef- feet on New Years eve.
 It is also reported that Q number of other hotel proprietors are pre- pairing to surrender their leases un- less the landlords reduce the rents, as the establishments catering to the workingmen will be particularly hard hit when the sale of liquors is prohi- bited.
