 ster Powder Works Explode.

 It is reported that the works. which were among the largest in Germany, and gave employment to thousands of women, was almost obliterated by the explosion. The work in the Ger man munition factories is almost wholly performed by women owing to the men having been called to the ranks in defense of the fatherland.
 The cause of the explosions will probably never be known as the fac tory was entirely destroyed. not liv- ing person having escaped.
 The explosion was so terrific that it was felt for miles around the city

WASTE 0F MEN
 HAS BEEN TERRIFIC
Premier Asquith Requests House of Commons to Summon Million
 More Men to Arms.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Speaking be yesterday Premier Asquith urgently requested the members of the govern ment to summon another million men to arms. He stated that Great Britain already had one million, two hundred and fifty thousand men fight ing at the various points but that more were required. He said that the waste of men during the past eight cen months warfare had been enor- nous
 That Great Britain will require the services of every man she can secure to carry the war to success full issue is the belief of Premier As quith. He declares that the empire must prepare for one and possibly two more years of the war.
 The premier told the House that Lord Kitchener, who has recently returned from the near east, had ad vised the withdrawal of troops from the Dardanelles and abandoning the Galipoli peninsula campaign. The other powers of the quadruple ent- ente had opposed abandoning the campaign but Kitchener had con vinced General Joffre and the other military leaders that the campaign would be too costly in the matter of troops as compared with waging campaigns in other parts of Europe.

SALOONS MUST BE
 CLOSED 0N' SUNDAY
Cannot Even Sell Tobacco or Soft Drinks in Buildings on Sunday
 Test Case Decided.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-A recent rul- ing of the court handed down here regarding the right of saloon keep CTS to sell tobacco and soft drinks to customers on Sundays, holds that the saloons must be closed to pa irons from Saturday night until Mon day morning in compliance with the law.
 The ruling will have the effect of forcing hundreds of cigar and soft drink establishments out of business as they are located in the saloon building and operated by the holders of the saloon licenses.
 Following the clamping of the lid on selling liquor on Sundays by the city authorities hundreds of the sa- loon keepers remodeled their preIn- ises believing their licenses would permit them to sell soft drinks oa Sundays without coming into conf'"t with the law. Many of them oper- ated as bling pigs, covering the sale of intoxicating liquors under the guise of soft drinks and making con- victions of offenders difficult to SC" cure.

 Food riots are frequent in Poland The shortage of supplies is so great inv the towns around Warsaw that ev9a the wealthy are unable to ob- tain sufficient food As conse- quence outbreaks are of almost daily occurrence and involve fighting be- tween citizens and the Germans.

POLICE
 SUPPRESS SALES
San Francisco Board of Education Objects to Reproduction of
 Paintings Being Sold.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-The board of education of San Francisco has asked the chief of police to SUD- press the display and sale in stores of reproductions of nude in art which children were encouraged to see while the original paintings were on exhi- bition at the exposition.
 In his letters to the chief of police the president of the board justifies the paintings as works of art, but says the reproductions are obscene and detrimental to the morality of the children.
 The reproductions of the famous paintings are on display in every window where the proprietors will permit their sale, and are being of- |fered for sale to boys and girls. They are the work of an enterprising firm of printers who are reaping harv- est by catering to the deprayity of the coming generation.
 It is reported that the California Ministerial Association, which in- cludes in it's membership nearly ev- |ery pastor in the state, is backing the board of education and will insist that the sale of the pictures be SUD- pressed

WONT PROSECUTE
 DR. HA|SELOEN
He Has Been Dropped from Member. ship in the Chicago Medical As-
 Sociation, Who Oppose Him.

CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-The federal prosecutor has refused to bring crim- inal action against Dr. Haiselden, the physician who refused to perform an operation on a defective child which would have prolonged it's life.
 Dr. Haiselden has been dropped from membership by the Chicago Medical association and has started action before the court to compel his name to be reinstated on the roll of membership.
 Thousands of letters have been re- ceived from prominent men and wo- men of the city protesting against physicians exercising the authority to pass judgment upon the right of de fective infants to live.
 Dr. Haiselden was exonerated by the coroner's jury when he was charg- ed with having caused the death oi the infant by neglecting to perform an operation. His action has been sustained by fifteen out of sixteen members of a medical board with whom he had conferred regarding the infant. The physicians of the city are opposed to the publicity being given the case.

SPECTATORS STEAL
 FROM POLICEMEN
Big Stock Barge Sinks in New York Harbor with Hundreds of Cat
 tie and Sheep on Board.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-A big barge carrying live stock sunk off the Battery yesterday afternoon. drown ing hundreds of cattle and sheep. It is believed the barge was overloaded causing her seams to open and flood the hold: An effort was made to beach the craft but she sank before reaching shore.
 When the officers of the tug found that her tow was sinking she sound- ed an alarm and several steamers re- sponded but were to late to render assistance.
 AS the water closed over the barge hundreds of calves and lambs which had-been in open pens on the deck, hoated clear of the wreck. The little animals proved good swimmers and the bay was dotted with them as they fioated with the tide.
 When the news spread along the waterfront that vessel was sinking in the harbor thousands of spectators gathered to witness the unusual spec tacle and scores of boatmen engaged with the police in rounding up the drowning animals. When tally of the lambs and calves was made by the police, it was found that many of the animals which had been las soed and tied up to prevent their es- caping into the streets had been stol- en by the spectators. Many of the lambs are reported to have been car ried away in automobiles.

WOULD SPEND HIS.
 ENTIRE FORTUNE
Henry Ford Gives $1O,OOO to Stu dents and Says He Requires
 Little for Personal Use.

CHRISTlANA, Norway, Dec. 23.- The second contingent of the Henry Ford expedition. which has come to Europe to call the troops from the trenches and restore peace. arrived last night. The party consisted of fifteen delegates who failed to con meet with the sailings of the Oscar II. when she left New York on Dec 4. The members of the party were immediately transferred from the liner to the Ford ship. They report that they were denied the right to land in England as were the other members of the expedition.
 The Norwegian government officials have failed to indicate that they are aware of Ford's presence in the coun- try. having refused to take official ac- tion in aiding the American manufac- turer's peace movement.
 The members of the expedition were the guests of the Norwegian Student Association yesterday when Ford presented the president of the body with a $10.OO0 check.
 Speaking before the students MT Ford stated the object of his expedi- tion and said that he was opposed to militarism wherever it existed and was willing to spend his time and money to combat it. He said he was willing to spend his entire fortune if he could save the twenty thousand men who were being killed or maim- ed on the battlefelds of Europe every day. He knew how to make mora money and had come to,a realization of how little he really required for his personal use and how much he could spare for the benefit of others.
 He is not discouraged and believes that the neutral nations will recog- nize his aims and give him assistance when they fully understand his plans

SPAIN BUYING WAR MATERIAL
Does not Expect to be Drawn into Conflict but will FOrtify
 Her F-encl, Border

NEW YORK, Dec 23.--Spanish
 military officers composing com mission appointed by the Spanish government have arrived in Amer
 ica to purchase war supplies and it
 is announced that they will place or ders totaling twenty million dollars.
 The commissioners assert that although Spain is purchasing war
 material she does not expect to en- gage in the European struggle and that owing to her being far removed from the centre of the conflict that
 there is little chance of her being drawn into the war.
 King Alfonso's government has however, adopted national defense policy which will include the build ing of several Notifications on the French border.
 With the greater portion of Euro pc engaged in a life and death stru- ggle it is believed possible that Spain might be encroached upon following the close of the present war. It is understood that Spain is de- sirous of manufacturing her own war material and that the money to be spent ill the United States will be en- ployed in the purchase of machines
 and tools for the manufacture of guns and shells.

LOST CAMPAIGN WAS COSTLY IN TROOPS
mons that British Lost 112,OOO Men at the Dardanelles.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-John Red- mond, leader of the Irish Nationalist party, in the British house of cor' mons yesterday during the debate or conscription, forced the members of the British cabinet to admit that the British casualties at the Dardanel!es and on Gallipoli peninsusa had amounted to one hundred and twelve thousand men.
 It was also admitted that the cole nial troops had suffered the heaviest losses during the campaign which has now been abandoned. Several New Zealand and Australian regi- ments were wiped out in the efforts of the British forces to gain head way against the Turkish troops. Dls- ease had wrought tremendous los9es among the colonial troops owing to climatic conditions. Seventy thou sand of the Australians were unable to become innured to the climate and were withdrawn.
 The Irish leader also scored the government for the failure of the British campaign in Mesopotamia where the British troops were defeat ed through the treachery of the Arabs who had been permitted to attach themselves to the army in it's advance upon Bagdad.

 Fire Across the Line.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Secre- tary Garrison, of the War depart ment, has instructed General Funs- ton. commanding the American troops patrolling the Mexican border, to or der the troops to return the fire of the Mexicans shooting across the line.
 General Villa is reported to have asserted that he will never enter the United States but will take refuge in the mountains from which hiding places he will operate in harrassing the Carranza troops. He has threaten ed vengeance on the generals who forced lhim from command of his troops md regards them as traitors to Mss 3.
 Villa s&toKowers are refusing to be guided by their generals in seeking immunity from the Carranza govern ment, but are breaking up into bands and ravaging the ranches and small towns These outlaw bands ac- knowledge allegiance to no faction and are regarded as more dangerous than either the CarranZa or Villa ar mics.
 Mexicans who are in close touch with the situation fear that General Villa will surround himself by bands of former followers and Indians and will engage in guerrilla warfare. His followers have been on the warpath for years and no longer desire peace.
