College. On Sunday evening she
talked at the regular association
meeting on the subject of Foreign
Missions. Miss Peacock gave a
brief survey of what has already
been accomplished in the various
mission fields, and in few words
pointed out the great work that is
yet to be done by those who have
the faith that results in action.
Both Science and Residence
Halls of the Women's College have
been adequately equipped with
Pyrene Fire Extinguishers. The
students have been instructed in
the use of these protectives, and
with efficient training through fire
drills it is hoped that the possibil-
tiles of serious loss through fire
may be averted.
On the evening of Nov. 23, Miss
Rich, Professor of Education in
the Women's College, addressed a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers'
Association of Richardson Park on
the subject, "The Value of Play

fluence which the Bible exerted on
the thought and feeling of English
speaking people, which in turn is
reflected in our literature. Eng
lish literature, he said, owes large
ly to this one great Book the earn
estness and seriousness which
characterizes all the great writers.
This influence is not direct, but
despite the limitations of direct
application, it is the great infiu-
ence of English literature. The
spirit which is transmitted to our
great writer's through this book, is
the spirit which prompted Chaucer
at the close of his long loving
poem, Troilus Cresseda, to address
an invocation to the Creator. 1t
is the spirit which influences Sir
Walter Raleigh to write the his
tory of the world, and to show the
hand of God in history. 1t is the
spirit which prompted Pope to
write his moral essays to vindicate
the ways of God to man. 1t is the
spirit which is responsible for the
novels of Dickens and George Ell
liott, which show a moral pur-
pose. It is the spirit which made
English artists join art and NOR
ais, the spirit which made Steven
son dwell almost to WEAKNESS on
the idea of mans duty in the world,
the spirit which actuated Lincoln
when he delivered his second in
augural address, "the Almighty
has his own purpose" DR.. Sy-
pherd cited scores of other illus
trations. He concluded his remarks
stating that the conception of
Christian religion transmitted
through the Bible has made the
English speaking people God
fearing nation, a nation of moral
lists.
At the close of the lecture the
club in full appreciation voted DR..
Sypherd a rising vote of thanks.
Following and preceding the
lecture two short business sessions
were held. Miss Rich of the Wo
mems College made an enthusiastic
appeal for the clubs cooperation
in the collection of pictures which
she is gathering for the use of
public schools. Already hundreds
of pictures have been collected
and the committee is now endeav-
oring to raise funds for envelopes
and mounting cards. The club
generously responded to Miss
Rich's appeal by a gift of Ten Dol
lars.
An interesting and inspiring
letter from Miss Heydrick, presi-
dent of the Delaware State Feder-
alton, was read before the club.
This letter will be published in
full to give to all those interested
in club activities an idea of the
work and aims Of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Sehrt, and Mrs.
]. K. Johnson, have been invited to
! join the club.
The meeting closed by a piano
solo played by Miss Barnard. The
program for next Monday after
noon will be furnished by the Mid
dletown club.

MAY DEMAND RELEASE
{. S. Action in Hooking Case Depends
Upon England'S Excuse.

The United States will demand
peremptorily the release of the
American steamship Hooking if Sir
Edward Grey, in his reply to the
United States admits that the seizure
was made under any order in council
of municipal law of England.
If the reply of the British foreign
office, however, sets up the claim
that ownership of the vessel was not
wholly American, the United States
will discuss the point with England
as a question of fact. The United
States will maintain the truth OF
statements made to the department
of commerce when the question O!
ownership and the right of registry
is considered.
The proposition of the government
with reference to the Hooking and
prospectively to the Winneconno was
ascertained from authoritative
sources. Officials declare that Eng
land can attempt to justify the seZ.
ure of the Hooking only on one OF
the grounds referred to.

formation was brought forth from
the government. Sir Edward Grey
made long statement on politica
conditions in the Balkans and the as
sistance promised to Serbia by Great
Britain.
The sympathies of King Ferdi
nand, of Bulgaria, for Germany, the
foreign secretary said, always have
been known, and the government was
aware as early as April that negotia
tions were in progress between Bull
garia and Turkey, under German in
fluence.
AS to why no assistance for Serbia
had been available at the opening ot
the campaign, Sir Edward declared
he was neither willing nor compe
tent to state. The foreign secretary
made clear that the movements ot
troops to Saloniki and from thai
point have been dependent on the
consent Of Greece.
Serbia was notified on September
"a of the dispatch of British troops
to her assistance The foreign Sec
retary Informed the Serbians Great
Britain was making an offer tc
Greece to send forces to Salonihi tc

all assistance in her power.

qualification or reserve" in his state
ment before the House of Commons
September %, when promising to as
sist Serbia, meant that concessions
previously suggested to Bulgaria
were at an end and that British
troops would be used solely to help
the friends of this nation and to fight
for their and her interests
The promise was to give our
friends all assistance in our power
Sir Edward added, "and that has in
fact been and is being done"

BRITISH FORCIBLY SEARCH
U. S. SHIP AT PR0GRESSO
Party From Cruiser Board American
Ship by Force-Lies in Wait
Outside of Harbor.

The American steamer Zealandia
was forcib!y searched by party from
British cruiser last week, says a
Washington dispatch Wednesday
while lying in the port of Progresso,
Mexico. The American consul there
reports the cruiser now is lying out
side presumably waiting to seize the
ship.
On the face of such a report as the
consul sent, even though incomplete,
the official conclusion now is that
the British naval authorities not only
violated Mexican neutrality, but far
exceeded their rights in forcibly
searching an American ship in neu-
trail port.
The Zealandia has figured much Of
late in reports of the Investigations OF
British agents who were on the trail
Of ships supposed to be fitting out in
the United States for attacking oil
carrying ships from Mexican fields,
whede the British navy draws a great
proportion of its supply Of fuel oil.
The Zealandia has no change Of
registry involved as has been the
case of many other American ships
since the beginning Of the war. She
originally was a Hawaiian ship and
came under the American flag at the
time of the annexation.
On October Z the Zealandia mys-
teriously~l left Pensacola, Fla, at
night, clearing for Tampico, Mexico,
carrying a large stock Of provisions
and manned principally by crew OF
Germans An American flag painted
on her hull had been painted over
and it was reported that while at sea
she flew the German colors, although
that was denied by her owners.
The ship moved from Tampico to
Campeche, where British agents re-
ported she bore large quantity Of
rosin for which there was no ostensi-
Bile use in Mexico, although it is used
largely for making shrapnel. They
also reported their suspicious that
she bore large quantity of copper
and the British view was that the
ship was waiting for an opportunity
to slip out with the cargo for some
port where it would find its way to
Great Britain's enemies.
Nothing further of her movements
was reported until Wednesday.
The forcible searching of an Amer
ican ship in neutral uport probably
would constitute one of the most seri-
GUS issues to arise between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, in the
controversy over the British navy's
conduct toward American shipping.
While awaiting further details, Off
cials were silent. A thorough inves-
tigation will be made.

persuaded to carry club his voice
upon the club.
'If there is any truth in our re-
ligion, nation must win respect as
an individual does, not by carrying
arms, but by an upright, honorable
course that invites confidence and in
sures good will. This nation has won
it's position in the world without re-
sorting to the habit of toting pistol
or carrying club. Why reverse our
policy at this time The president
himself admits that there is no -ea-
son for change. He says:
1.-The country is not threatened
from any quarter; she stands in
friendly relation with all the world.
Her resources and her self-respect
and capacity to care for her own citi-
zens and rights are we'll known And
to make the statement more emphatic
he adds, there is no fear among US.
IF we're not threatened by any
nation, if our relations with all ma
tions are friendly, if everybody knows
that we're able to defend ourselves if
necessary, and if there is no fear
among US, why is this time chosen to
revolutionize our national theories
and to exchange our policy for the
policy of Europe? Why abandon the
hope that We have 50 long entertain
ed of setting an example to Europe?
Why encourage the nations OF Eu-
rope in their fatal folly by Initiating
them? Why impose upon the west
ern hemisphere policy so disas-
trous? May we not expect all Latin
America to be stimulated to prepara-
tion, if we enter upon a new era OF
preparation? And will not such a
policy make conflicts between these
republics more probable?
Eve shall do infinite harm to the
neighboring nations as we'll as to
ourselves if we are drawn into this
policy which provokes war by pre-
paration which is impossible without
a large increase in taxation and the
arousing of a military system which
sets up false standards Of honor. We
are now spending more than two
hundred and fifty million dollars a
year on preparedness-ten times as
much as we are spending on agricul-
ture-and I feel sure that the tax
payers are not in favor Of increasing
this sum at this time, when change
is not only unnecessary. but men.
ace to our national ideals.
There has not been time in fifty
years when there was less reason tc
add to the expenses of the army and
navy, but our preparedness is in
creasing relatively as other nations
exhaust themselves. And there never
was time and there never has beer
a time in our whole history when oul
duty to the world more imperatiVel1
demanded self-restrainr and the
councils of peace.
81 hope the president will not bf
deceived by the atmosphere of the
Manhattan club. That is the one
place in the United States where the
mammon-worshipping portion of the
Democratic party meets to exchange
compliments-there is no group far
ther removed from the sentiment o
the masses, whether you measure
that sentiment by economical, socia
or religious standards"

opportunity is so remote that it's ac-
tivities may be disregarded.
Second, in Asia Minor, on the Rus
sian frontier, still another army has
been operating. Its efforts have, how
ever, been fruitless as far as positive
results are concerned, although 1t
has accomplished tho negative pur-
pose Of preventing a considerable
Russian force which could be profit
ably employed against the Germans
and the Austrians from being sent to
! the west Russian theatre.
Third, is the operation in defense
| of the Gallipoli peninsula, which has
already from time to time been pref
ty thoroughly reviewed.
And, fourth, is the operation in
Mesopotamia, the country OF the
Euphrates and the Tigris. Not much
| has been said or written in regard to
this last mentioned war theatre, but
it is nevertheless of considerable i'm
portance and will at later date be
taken up in detail.
At present it is sufficient to poin
out the different fields Of Ottoman
endeavor so that whoever may be In
terested may figure out for himself
the probability of any large Turkish
force passing over the Oriental rail-
road to German assistance
In the other theatres the weec has
seen but little Of Importance on
which to comment. Probably the
most notable event has been the
abandonment, admitted by Berlin. OF
the attack cn Riga from the west.
Reference to last weeks review Will
show that the first movement against
Riga was directed from the south
west from Mitau as base and was
halted at OLAF when the border OF the
Tirul marsh was reached.
Arrested here, the Germans start
ed another move from the west.
starting from the vicinity Of Shlok,
Now, after weeks of effort during
which they have incurred exrtmely
heavy losses, the Germans have been
caught by the rainy season, which
has turned the entire coast along the
Gulf of Riga from some distance
west of the Tirul marsh into a Verl-
table sea.
Military operations, especially If
the use OF large guns Is lnVolFeo, are
naturally, under such circumstances,
impossible. AS the Germans are de-
pendent in their advances largely on
their heavy guns their abandonment
of attacks from the west is 2 logical
sequence of present typographical
conditions.
There arc no indications as yet
what the next move will me, but it
would not be surprising if the at
tacks along the Mitau-Riga railroad
would be continued. Failing again
in that, the concentration would
probably be made at Dvinsk in a
more desperate effort to break
through at that point and flank the
Russians holding the line Of the
Dv!na out Of position.

KITCHENER GOES EAST
British Leader Departs on Unknown
Mission to Eastern Theatre.

British LeaQer DeparCS ON OnkuoWu
Mission to Eastern Theatre.
Lord Kitchener, at the request OF
his colleagues, has left England for a
short visi ito the eastern theatre OF
war" y.
This announcement, made Satur-
day evening, after cabinet council
an unusual meeting for Saturday
and a long audience which Pre-
mier Asquith had with the king, set
at rest the rumors current as to the.
war secretary's present intentions.
Later an additional official state
ment was issued as follows: The
statement that Earl Kitchener has
resigned his post as secretary OF state
for war has already been authorita-
lively denied. It is equally untrue to
suggest that Earl Kitchener tender
ed his resignation, or that his visit
to the king had any relation to any
such subject, or that his visit to the
eastern theatre Of war in any way
betokens that such resifnation is con-
templated.
ION the contrary this visit is un-
dertaken by him in discharge Of his
duty as secretary of state for war,
which duty he has no intention OF
abandoning"

AUSTRO=GERMAN SUCCESSES
Capture Serbian Stronghold and Take
Lot Of Material.

The Austro.Germans have succeed
ed in crossing the Morava river, in
Serbia, and Gen. Won Gallwitz has
occupied kusavac, one of Serbia S
largest towns, about thirty miles due
northwest Of Nish.
The fall of krusevac means that
the branch railway line to Ushitze,
near the Bosnian frontier. has been
broken by the invaders close to the
point where it leaves the main Bel
grade-Nish-Saloniki line. A large
number Of prisoners, ten guns and a
lot of war material fell into German
hands.
The Bulgarians also are advancing
from the east: but in the west the
Montenegrins claim to have inflicted
another defeat on the Austrians. The
Austrians are said to be concentrat-
ing a force of one hundred aid twen-
ty thousand men in Herzegovina for
an invasion of Montenegro.

MUNITIONS FOR TURKS
Greece Shows No Change-Asks for
Loan When Bulgars Protest.

London says: While it will be some
time before the Germans can suffi-
GENTLY repair the northern end OF
the railway for the transport OF
troops and munitions, their successes
have enabled them to send supplies
to the Bulgarians and Turks by the
Danube as far as Nikopolis, from
which point they can be sent by rail
to Sofia and Constantineple.
There is no change in Greece's at
titude, although it is considered sig
nifcant that at the moment Bulgaria
has again protested against the hos
pitality afforded the allied troops at
Saloniki, the Greek government has
applied to the Allies for financial as
sistance-an application which is re-
ceiving favorable consideration.
The Greek government also has re-
newed to the Allies an expression OF
it's intention to maintain neutrality
and of it's sincere good will toward
the Entente powers.

Rome, Italy, reports: The Itsl-
ian liner Ancona has been sunk by
q large submarine flying the Aus
trian colors. She carried 422 psS-
sengers and sixty in the crew. Two
hundred and seventy survivors,
some of them wounded, have been
landed at Bizerta.
New York says the Ancona sailed
from New York for Naples onOcto-.
Der II. She had on board I,245 Ital-
ian reserVists and a general cargo.
She arrived at Naples on October %,
and was due to sail from Naples for
New York Tuesday.
The Ancona was built at Belfast In
1908. She had a gross of tonnage Of
3,210, was 4S2 feet in length and 5S
feet beam.
For several months before Italy's
entrance in the war the Ancona was
engaged in carrying home Italian re-
servists from this country and sup!
plies for the Italian government. On
one of her trips from New York to
Naples late in August last year, the
Ancona was stopped by the British at
Gibraltar and twenty-four Germans
and one Austrian werest taken off the
ship. sSA
Late last summer the Ancona left
for Italy with $4,000 bushels OF
wheat, 1000 tons of hay and zoo
horses for the Italian government.
On the same voyage she carried 800
Italians in the ,steerage, who went
back because it was said at the time
they could not get work on the New
York subway.
