NEW SHELL SUCCESS,
NAVAL EXPERTS SAY
Representative Britten Will Ask for
100000 Appropriation for De-
velopment of Invention.

Representative Britten, of Illinois,
member of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs, yesterday announced he
would ask Congress 10 make an appro-
priation OF $4,000 to be used to perfect
what is known as the Isham she'll and
for its purchase for exclusive use by the
American navy. The shell was tested at
Tangier Sound. at the head OF Chesa-
peake Bay, on Wednesday in the pres
ence of members of the Naval Commit
tee and officers of the Navy Department
The shell is fired from an Over-water
rifle travels under the surface OF the
water and strikes its object below the
water line. Six test shells were fired
from the L. 5. s. Rhode Island. Only
one hit was recorded. according to mem
bers OF the Naval Committee. Repre-
sentative Britten expressed the opinion
that this she'll which hit the San Marcus,
used as a target. would have destroyed
any naval ship afloat. It is the opinion
OF Mr.. Britten and other members OF
the Naval Committee that the shell when
perfected will prove to be one OF the
most destructive agencies of warfare.
Debate on the naval bill will be begun
in the House today. Chairman Padgett.
of the Naval Committee. is hopeful OF
completing general discussion on the
measure before adjournment tonight.

TELLS OF CHRIsT's LIFE.
Rev. DR.. McKIm Gives Ninth of
Lecture SerIea.

Lecture SERIES
DR.. R II. McKim gave his ninth lee
ture on the Life Of Christ at o'clock
Yesterday afternon in Epiphany parish
hall. He pointed out that in the second
year Of Christ's ministry the tide OF His
popularity rose to the flood. Capernaum.
on the northwest shore Of the Lake OF
Galilee, was His home for eighteen
months. the center OF His ministry, the
headquarters from which He conducted
His work all over Galilee.
''Up to this time" said DR.. McKim, mo
distinct society had been founded, no
new religion proclaimed. 1t was the per-
iod OF preparation, the continuation OF
the work OF John the forerunner. The
baptism by Jesus and His disciples was
not Christian baptism. His disciples were
not as yet attached to His person.
But now a marked change and ad-
vance appears. His work takes distinc-
tive shape The Twelve are called and
subsequently ordained to be apostles. He
and they go everywhere preaching the
Kingdom of God, under the new spiritual
conception distinct from the carnal idea
till then prevailing. His great popular
ity is to be accounted for by the char
acter Of His teaching and by the miracles
which He wrought
His miracles were works OF mercy,
never mere portents. They were wrought
sometimes on mans body, sometimes on
his mind and sometimes in the realm OF
physical nature. 1t is to be noted that at
this period. He did not make full rev.
elation OF His person. That would have
been fatal to His plan at that time. He
reserved the fullness of His revelation
of Himself for a later period

TURKS CARRY
WAR TO FOES
Brilliant Showing Of Ottoman
Army Is Surprise Of the
World Struggle.
SWEEP ON SUEZ CANAL
Swift Advance in Egypt Shocks Great
Britain-More Troops Are to Be
Rushed Against Ottomans.
SWEEP ON SUEZ CANAL
By HERBERT TEMPLE.

Special Cable 10 The Washington Herald
London Jan. 2S.-One OF the big sur
prises of the war is the brilliant show
ing of the Turkish army under the re-
generating influence of German officers.
News of the swift advance Of the Turks
against the Suez Canal now has focused
wide attention upon the exploits Of the
Ottoman troops. In the early stages OF
the war lack of transportation facilities
prevented the Turks from getting their
best troops into Armenia to meet the
advance of the Russians. As result
the early fighting took place upon Turk
ish soil At the present time, with the
exception OF operations near the Per-
sian Gulf, the Turks are carrying on the
war on Russian, Persian and British
soil.
Summarized, these are the achieve
ments of the Turkish armies Of Enver
Pasha:
Invade Foes Territory.
They have driven the Russians from
Armenia: they have invaded Persia and
occupy the greater part of the Russian
sphere OF influence; they have checked
the advance of the British expeditionary
force at Kornah in the Tigris valley and
they have invaded Egypt. Although they
have been carrying on a terrific lombard
ment, the war feet OF England and
France has been unable to infiict any
serious damage upon the forts guarding
the western entrance of the Dardanelles
The nearness Of Djamal Pasha's army
to the Suez Canal was not suspected
until Wednesdays dispatches brought
the news from Cairo that fighting is in
progress around EH Kantara (Alkantara).
In fact outside of military circles it was
not known that the Turks had invaded
Egypt over the Syrian trade route.
Heavy Guard on Canal.
It now is admitted generally that the
Turks may prove a more troublesome
factor in the war than at first supposed
and that both England and Russia will
have to send more soldiers before they
can meet the Ottoman forces on even
terms.
While the fighting east of the Suez
skirmishes between the British forces
and Turkish troops, it is believed that
the main armies will soon be in contact
The British commander has selected the
position in which he will give battle to
the advancing Turks.
Traffic in the Suez Canal is now going
on under restrictions fixed by the Brit
ish military authorities. Vessels are al
lowed to enter only at stated hours, and
they are conveyed the full length OF the
canal Utmost precautions are being
taken to prevent efforts to destroy the
canal The authorities have been advised
that with the Turkish troops are Ger
man engineers detached from service
with the Kaiser's army for that purpose.

NICARAGUAN IS HoNoRED.
ScnOr Alfonso ZeIaya Guest of the
Governor of Iowa.

SenOr Alfonso Zelaya, the son of the
exiled President of Nicaragua. was the
guest last week of the governor of Iowa
at Des Moines. and on invitation spoke
before the State senate on the necessity
for closer commercial relations between
the United States and the Central and
South American countries. He claimed
that now is the opportunity for American
capital to take advantage of a market
that in the past has been virtually mo-
nopolized by foreigners. and that Mic
aragua especially looks to the United
States for the development of her re-
sources.
Senior Zelaya, who is on a concert tour
through the West. passed through Wash
ington in September, and while here gave
musicale under the auspices of the
Theosophical Federation.

U. S. SHIPMENTS SAFE.
Germany Promises Exemption to
New Food Regulations.

The State Department yesterday re-
Ceived from the German Ambassador,
Count Won Bernstorff, a telegram giving
assurance that shipments of foodstuffs
from the United States to Germany will
be exempted from the provisions of the
recent imperial decree providing for gov
ernment control of the food supplies in
Germany. The ambassador is in New
York. His telegram indicated that It is
the intention of the German government
to attempt to distinguish between food
supplies produced within the country and
supplies brought in from the outside.
1t is assumed that the purpose of this
distinction is to enable, SO far as possible.
Americans to send food supplies to Ger
many without their being consigned TO
the German government. Consignment To
the German government would furnish
the British government with plausible
grounds for seizing all such cargoes.

Acting Director F. E. Ferguson, of the

general wage reduction in the depart

ton in salary of 81 a day for about
thirty-five plate printers. Director Ralph
says 1t was better to make this small
cut than be forced to discharge 800 en-
ployes, as he would have done IL the cut
had not been made to retain a stamp
printing contract.

claimed he received in a railroad
wreck. The injuries, according to the

position, his salary would have igrown
$500 a year. Because of his injuries,

The prompt move by Greece for mo-
bilization of most of her available mill.
tary strength seems to have checked, il
not checkmated, Bulgaria's war-like dem
onstration through mobilization; and
now Bulgaria proclaims loudly that the
order for assembly troops was merely
intended to secure the armed neutrality
of that country. II Bulgaria intends
to maintain neutrality, and armed neu-
trality at that, such purpose would
include the prohibition to the Germans
to march across the land of Bulgaria in
any move TO lend assistance to the be.
leaguered Turks and their city of Con-
stantinople; but If Bulgaria intends to
fight, no doubt the Greek nation will be
as ready to fight and, moreover, win eff
fectually keep the Bulgarian nation
busy. Therefore, the entrance of Bull
garia and Greece would have no appre.
eiable weight in the balancing of the
great war forces; they merely would
neutralize each other.
