VICTORIOUS KING
OF THE LOBSTERS
DONS CROWN AGAIN
Joe Chambers Wanted to
Sleep, But His Subjects
Brought a Band to Sere-
made Monarch.

The man who thought he was to
be king for only day is having the
glory protracted.
Yesterday Joseph Chambers, presi-
dent and captain of the Lobsters, was
monarch of all he surveyed. He won
the first prize, 800, in the fancy dress
contest of the mummers' parade. And
even If the achievement did necessi-
tate his wearing n headdress larger
and more formidable than that of the
Dowager Empress of China, neck
piece that made the antlerS of bull
moose look small by comparison and
regal robes weighing several hundreds
of pounds, it was worth 1t.
This morning, however, Mr.. Chambers
had planned to have the comfortable, Or
dnary time of mere mortal. He was
going to spend the day in bed. When
o man has walked the streets of Philadel-
phia from o'clock New Years morning
until 7:SO in the evning this is eminently
the most sensible thing to do the morn
ing after even If it isn't kingly.
But the Lobsters deemed otherwise.
Believing their king to have all of the
super-human powers that most rulers
are credited with. they descended upon
him en- masse, band at their head, at
1850 o'clock this morning and, assembling
outside of his home, 1886 South Franklin
street. called upon him to come forth
and show himself and be congratulated
anew.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown. Joseph, turning on his pillow,
thought his subjects were in revolt, or
that the world had come to an end or
that he hadn't got the first prize. But
the proud voice of his wife, calling, Joe,
Joe, come downstairs. the Lobsters are
here" brought him to himself. And,
shoes In hand the king came down, his
brown-stockinged feet swollen to almost
twice their normal size.
But the Lobsters would have none of
their king in the mundane clothes of a
machinist, which is the everyday occu-
patton of Mr.. Chambers, and so the regal
head-dress had to be lifted from the
parlor window where 1t had been put to
call forth the admiration OF passersby and
placed on the tired head of the South
Philadelphia monarch.
THE spirit is willing but the flesh is
weak, said the King to his wife. "get
me my boots. can't get my shoes on
For 10 years" he continued, proudly
trying TO keep the pain out of his face
while two subjects drew on the boots.
81 have been New Years shooter The
first time l ever went into the parade

perary' impatiently- The King abjured
the huge costume of state; he couldn't
have got through the doorway IL he
hadn't. and, donning a smaller one, hob
bled out amid the cheers of his subjects,
who demanded that he parade once more.

TAFT SAYS JAPAN
HAS NO DESIGNS
ON PHILIPPINES
Ex-President Discre dts
That Idea and Declares
Islands Unfit for Self

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-with remark
able candor ex-President Taft told the
Senate philippines Committee today that
the Japanese do not want the Philippines
and that one or two generations ought

pendence.
"I don't care for the power OF the
limited States in the Philippines he
said .'r would like this country to get
out of the islands, so far as this country
alone is concerned. But 1 am thinking
about the poor people of the islands. They
are not fit for self-government. They
don't like me out there, because told
than SO. and told them the truth.
However. IL the naval base on tne
islands were strongly fortineu, tiIilih
that any of the European nations now
AT war would regard 1t as an element oil
strength rather than weakness.
"The only Power to which the islands
are considered deslrable-I mean Japan
does not care for the Islands at ALL

might not seize the ISLANDS ana ASK 10
what we were going to do ABOUT IL -

treatment of Japanese in California was
put to Mr. Taft by Senator HitchcocN'
NOT WANTED BY JAPAN.
"That might happen" he said. THE
Japanese might seize the islands because
of a provocation of another Sort but l
do not think they would be seized Tor
any desire for the islands themselves.
"In the event of that kind of trouble
would we not have to fight the Filipinos
also?" asked Senator Lane.
''Well, il the Filipinos got the Japanese
or the Germans for masters they would
learn a few things about self-soVern-
ment," the ex-presdent replied.
"Do you think that IL the Filipinos got
their independence they would be any
more cruel tbr kill each other any faster
than the Christian nations of Europe?
persisted Senator Lane.
"It Is true that they could not be
more cruel than they are now in Eu-
role; but that is cruelty of war. Even
now at home the rights of the citizens
are protected"
When Lane persisted in his inquiry
about the Germans or Japanese taking
over the islands, Taft said, as far as
finding out about self-government, the
Filipinos would be like st. Patrick when
he looked for frogs in Ireland-that there
weren't any.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-Important news of
the reorganization OF the British land

or 10000 lighting men each is contained
in an order of Earl Kitchener issued to-
day for the merging of Sir John French's s

who have been in training camps since
August and September
The news of the sweeping changes was

ner. The general order merely announced
the names of the six Generals who will
command the six field armies of at least
three army corps each, and three Gem
erals who will command the three extrr
army corps outside this organization.
p. The new first army will be commanded
by Sir Douglas Haig; the second by Sir
Horace Smith-Dorrien; the third by Sir
Archibald Hunter; the fourth by Sir Ian
Hamilton, the fifth by Sir Leslie Rumble
and the sixth by Sir Bruce Meade Hamil-
ton. The three army corps will be COM

Charles Ferguson and Sir II. G. o.

Beyond these bare official details moth
ing whatever has been let slip concern
ing the numbers, the disposition or the
details of organization of the new units
No one outside the War Office can say
how many of the new armies are now
on or near the firing line.
1t is supposed, however, that the Brit
ish army corps, as now constituted, Is
formed on the Continental model. which
would give. a strength of more than
10000 men of all arms. This estimate
win, consequently, bring the total Brit
ish strength soon to be in the field, IL
not actually on the firing line, between
100000 and 100000 men.

FORMIDABLE, STRUCK
FORE AND AFT, SANK
RAPIDLY; 161 SAVED
Submarine, 1t Is Conceded,
Wrecked British Battle
ship-Country Stunned by
Loss. .

LONDON, Jan. 2.
No naval disaster Of the war to date
has 30 depressed Britain as the loss of
the second-line battleship Formidable II
is now considered certain that she was
torpedoed by a German submarine. The
naval experts unite In declaring that
while such losses must be expected, they
again direct special attention to the sub
marine policy.
There is much underestimate irritation
and bitter criticism of the apparent USE
lessness of the British submarines, and
many of the critics openly ask why they
have failed as guard vessels. The Ad-
miralty still withholds the complete de-
tails Of the disaster
The latest reports received today show
that only 151 OF the Fornidable's crew
have been accounted for. There is still
slight hope that others may be brought In
by fishing boats, but this is very faint, as
the wnrship was torpedoed fore and ait
and practically her entire bottom blown
out. She sanl.in less than ten minutes.
Among the rescued are eight officers
and six midshlpmen There were 10 mid
shipmen on board the battleship. The
name Of tho place where the trawler
landed was cut nut by the censor
The rescues were made in dangerous
and exciting, circumstances. The crew
of tile trawler were amazed while run
ming before the gale for shelter to find
n. small open boat driving under their lee
through mountainous seas. with an oar
hoisted, bearing a sailors scarf. After
desperate efforts those on the trawler
Succeeded in getting a rope to the cutter
and brought her, with great skill, to
their stern.
The Chronicles Brixham (Devonshire)
correspondent, who describes the rescue
by the trRwler, says the captain of that
vessel states that other fishing boats
were close at hand. The captain exs
presses the belief that other survivors
have been rescued and taken to Dart
mouth.
If the sinking OF the, Formidable took
place near Baixham or Dartmouth, in
Devon. the submarine which made the
attack had travelled long distance from
in Belgium. Baixham is about
2oG miles west or Dover Devon is the
next county east of Cornwall.
