BIG PROFITS FOR PREACHER
Or. Hills Manager Tells of Quick and
Fabulous Earnings in Aft
daVit Just Filed.

New York, Oct. 15.-The charge
that Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, D. D.,
pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
made quick fabulous profits" through
selling British Columbia timber claims
to ministers and friends, was made
yesterday in an affidavit filed by
Frank L. Ferguson, former chairman
of the board of trustees of the church
and five years manager of DR.. Hills
business affairs.
DR.. Hills had procured an order to
examine Mr.. Ferguson before a ref
cree, and Mr.. Ferguson obtained an
order requiring DR.. Hills to show
cause why he wished to examine his
former business manager. When the
argument on the latter order was
called before Supreme Court Justice
Kelley attorneys for DR.. Hills asked
for additional time in which to an

they termed false and misleading

FRENCH MINISTER RESIGNS
DeIcasse Suffers Nervous Breakdown
from OVerWork-Premier to Take
His Place in Cabinet.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE resignation OF
Theophile Delcasse, the foreign min
lister of France, was announced at
noon today after the cabinet ministers
had held a meeting under the presi-
dency of M. Poincaire. Premier Vivi-
ami presented the resignation of NJ.
Delcasse at the conference and his re-
tirement was sanctioned. An official
announcement issued in connection
with the change in the ministry stat
ed that Premier Rene Viviani will
take the portfolio of foreign affairs
with the presidency of the council.
Foreign Minister DeIcasse's resigna-
ton aroused widespread comment in
diplomatic and parliamentary quar-
tiers in France, owing to the promi-
nent part he has taken in shaping the
foreign policy of the government since
the first months of the war, when he
resumed his old place at the head Of
the foreign office. His retirement at
this particular moment when the Bal
kan crisis has become acute caused
surprise.
One reason assigned for the retire
ment of the foreign minister is that
he is suffering greatly from fatigue,
eliminating in a recent sick spell and
amounting to nervous exhaustion,
which has resulted from the burden
of anxieties in directing Frances for
eign policy.

TO BUILD 20 DREADNOUGHTS
President Wilson and Secretary Dam
ieIs Also Favor More Cruisers,
Destroyers and Submarines.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Fifteen to
twenty fighting ships of the dread
nought and battle cruiser type with
a proportionate number of seagoing
submarines, coast submarines, scout
cruisers, destroyers and auxiliaries-
enough to make new American feet
lis contemplated by Secretary Dan
ie1s for recommendations as a five
year building program for the United
States today.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally the
needs of the navy and are agreed that
in order to adequately provide for
defense the present strength of the
fleet must be almost doubled in the
next five years with the addition Of
many Of the latest type of fast and
powerful fighting craft.
Details as to numbers have not yet
been worked out, but the idea of fix
ing ratio for a continuing program
over period of five years is the basic
principle upon which the general
board of the navy and Secretary Dan
| iels now are planning their recon-
mendations. Another conference be-
tween the president and the secre-
tary will be held Friday, at which the
total number probably will be fixed.
The fYe-year naval program when
completed would add, in addition to
dreadnoughts- and battle cruisers,
nearly 10 submarines, about seventy
| destroyers and several scout cruisers
and a proportionate number of fuel
and hospital ships.
An important part of the program,
too, will be a proposal for a large in
| crease in personnel. Appropriation
for at least 5000 additional men will
be asked for the first year to make up
present deficiencies, and an adequate
number viii be sought to man the
new ships built in the fve-year period.
The total cost of the proposed pro-
gram for the first year, according to
present plans, is estimated at nearly
| SPAS, 0OO, 900, or about 100000 III
crease over last year.

WILSON FAVORs A BIG NAVY
The President Approves Spending
$500, 100000 in Five Years for
the New War Vessels.

Washington, Oct. 16.-President
Wilson has approved Secretary Dan
iels' recommendation for a five-year
construction program for the navy to
cost $500, 100000.
The exact amount to be appropriat-
ed for each of the five years has not
been decided, but the first years pro-
gram calls for two dreadnoughts and
two battle cruisers.
The five-year program would call
for sixteen capital ships, ten dread
noughts and six battle cruisers. In
order to get the best advantage of i'm
provements in construction and not
to overtax the capacity of American
navy yards, the first years construc-
ton will include two dreadnoughts
and two or possibly three battle cruz
sers and about twenty-five subma-
rines, sixteen destroyers and proba-
bly, five scout cruisers.

LARGEST WARSR|P
Keel of SUPERINTENDENT Cal.
ifOrnia Laid at Brooklyn
Navy Yard.
MARKS new ERA IN NAVIGATION
Latest United States Battle Ship to
Be Propelled by Electricity
Will Cost $4,000 900.

New York, Oct 15.-The keel Of
the SIS, 100000 superdreadnought Cali
fornia was laid yesterday at the Brook
lyn navy yard Secretary Daniels. in
a speech concluding the brief cere-
mony attending the beginning of actual
work on the fighting craft, said the
California will mark the most ad-
vanced step taken in naval engineer
ing in many years.
The superdreadnought will be the
first large war vessel to be propelled
entirely by electricity. Secretary Dan
iels said electric motors had been
thoroughly tested on the collier Jupi-
ter and a most satisfactory type de-
veloped.
Naval Chiefs Present
Besides Secretary Daniels and sew
eral members of the naval advisory
board, more than 1000 persons saw
Commander George H. Rock, chief of
construction at the yard, guide the
two center plates and the key plate
into position He riveted them with
four nickel plated bolts. Workmen
then placed a silver horseshoe and
ways where the CALIFORNIA; bow Will
rest
The California is expected to be
launched within fifteen months and
to be placed in commission in about
three years.
The vessel will be of $4,000 tons dis
placement, length 525 feet and beam
97K feet She will carry twelve II
inch guns and twenty-five five-inch
guns as well as having four sub
merged torpedo tubes.
Daniels Makes Prophecy.
Mr.. Daniels told about the tests
on the collier Jupiter and ne added
this comment and prophecy:
THE California is the logical out
come of the departments experiments
on the Jupiter. She will be the first
battle ship of any navy in the world
to be propelled by electricity. Proph-
ecy is always risky, but it is hardly
too much to say that the installation
of the electric drive upon the Cali
fOrnia ushers in a new epoch in navi-
cation, just as far reaching and i'm
portant as that in which steam sue
ceeded sail power"
The new battle ship California will
be greater in size than any foreign
battle ship built or building. The
California and her two sister ships,
the Mississippi and the Idaho, already
authorized, will each displace $4,000
tons, almost 1000 tons more than the
new dreadnought Pennsylvania, now
on the way to completion.

War ON BULGARIA
Formal Notice of Existence of
Hostile Relations Issued
by Government.
ALLIES ARE PERFECTING PLANS
Hardened SerVian Troops Making In

London, Oct. 16-Great Britain has
declared war on Bulgaria.
The British foreign office announces
that in view of the fact that Bulgaria
has announced she is at war with
Serbia, and is an ally of the central
powers, his majesty's government has
informed the Bulgarian government
through the Swedish minister at Lon
don, who is in charge of Bulgarian in
terests, that a state of war exists be-

Hard Fighting Continues.
From all the main battle fronts
come news of continued fighting, but
from none of them has been received
any indications of victories or re-
verses which would make marked
change in the general situation.
The Austrians, Germans and Bull
garians are proceeding methodically
with their invasion of Serbia, which,
according to neutral reports, is cost
ing them very heavily in lives of sol
diers, as the hardened veterans of
Serbia are taking every advantage of
the difficult country to inflict the
greatest possible loss on the invaders
Allies Perfecting Plans.
The Quadruple Entente allies are
perfecting their preparations to assist
the Serbians and every day additional
troops are landed at Saloniki, where
the French General Sarrail has ar
rived to take command of the allied
forces. What steps Russia and Italy
have taken to assist have not yet de-
veloped.
The political situation remains IN
changed, Greece having formally an
nounced that she would not intervene
in behalf of Serbia, cat present" and
Rumania, although she is being urged
by Germany definitely to define her
position, has definately declared her
neutrality.
Along the western front there has
been heavy fighting in the Artois,
Champagne and Vosges regions. At
tacks were made by both sides, but
the gains and losses are described as
being of little Importance.
In the east the Russians have turn
ed to the offensive in the region OF
Dvinsk and although the Germans
claim that they have repuised most
of the Muscovite attacks, they admit
that the Russians penetrated their
line at one point.
