George C. Dixon, who sold the VIII
mington Times two years ago, has
bought the Londonderry Sitter of O..
r. Clayton Mr.. Clayton is lawyer
and will devote his time to the prac.
tice of law. The Sitter, under his ad-
ministration, has been q good paper
and Mr. Dixon viii strive to make it
better. The field is small and a pap
er in a territory like that has a hard
struggle. The people Of the South
Londonderry and vicinity should give
their local paper cordial and unanim-
Gus support even If they don't al
ways agree with the editor in his
opinions. Editors are only human
and often wrong, but they are prac
tically always loyal to their town and
section and do the best they can for
its welfare and usually more than
their income warrants.

MARSHALL HITS
 JINGOES HARD
SAYS THEY AND CALAMITY HOWLERS ALL SHOULD BE
 DRAFTED INTO ARMY.

CHICAGO, March 17.-In a fore ible speech delivered here last night Vice-President Marshal declared that jingoes and calamity hOwlers should be made to enlist in the regular army and that it is the only way to keep their mouths shut, He spoke with q great deal of bitterness in dealing with those who are agitating the establishment of a mighty army and navy. He ridiculed the idea that the United States is in danger. While be- Geving that a strong navy is to be desired to protect the trade and over seas interests of this nation the of keeping an immense mili-
 
 tary force is absurd. He seemed to think that no matter how large the force is the United States could not and would not expect to invade the territory of any great nation while there is, on the other hand, absolutely no danger that the home territory of this nation could he threatened. With regard to the Philippines he seemed to believe that the United States now has sufficient forces to ship there for their defence if they can be defended at all

THINKS CHINA WILL
 OPPOSE THE JAPANESE.
Hong Kong Reports that Chinese Troops are Being Mobilized
 This is not Official.

HONG KONG, March 17.-Reports from Pekin are to the effect that China is taking steps to oppose the advance of the Japanese into Man. churia and is now concentrating troops at a convenient point. This news is not official but it is thought likely that the Chinese government will make some effort to save its ter ritory from invasion and if it does war, of course, cannot be avoided. Many officials of the British govern ment declare that China will be satis- fled with mere protest as she could never hope to face Japan in the field. The matter looks very serious. This no one denies.

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS
 ASK FOR DISMISSAL.
Caplan and Scmidt Declare the Grand Jury is Preiudiced and did ..
 not do Justice.

LOS ANGELES, March IT, Schmidt and Caplan, the alleged ac- complices of the McNamaras in the destruction of the Times building, have moved that the indictment again st them be quashed on the ground that the grand jury which brought in the indictment was prejudiced and incap- able of doing justice. The motion IS now under advisement and the deci- sion will probably be given in day or so. Caplan was arrested near Seat tie while Schmidt was arrested in the east. Both men say that the only reason for their indictment is that they were active in union circles.

A. p. SERVICE
 NOT A TRUST ATTORNEY GENERAL TURNS DOWN PETITION OF NEW
 YORK SUN. |.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-That the Associated Press is not a trust is the finding of Attorney General Greg ory. This decision came after an in- vestigation of the great press service. In Febraury, 1914 the New York Sun filed petition to have the AssOciat- ed Press declared a trust because irs controllers refused to give service to any but limited number of papers. The service is owned by all the pap CTS using it. A certain number of newspapers in each city, the number depending to some extent on the size of the city, are made members of the Associated Press and the members themselves control the organization and meet the expense of the whole service according to their proportion ate size and the size of the city in which they are published. The Sun declared that as these papers control the service and prevent other papers from using it the Association is es- sentially a trust or a "corner." The decision of the attorney general may not be final and the Sun owners are said to be contemplating a further fight on the question.

NEW YORK, March Hilary K. Thaw is said to be in a very nervous condition brought about by the un- certainty of his fate. The sympathy of the people seems to be in a great measure given to him and there is fear that if he is again sent to the asylum he will almost surely lose his mind as the glimpse of freedom which he secured will make the horror of his incarceration all the greater. No decision on the habeas corpus pro- ceedings is expected today.

Rabbi Declares That Jews Are Face
to Face With Tragedy Unparal-
eIed in the History of
Jewish Agony.

London.-At meeting here on Sun
day in behalf Of the fund for the relief
of Jewish victims Of the war in Rus
sia, it was announced that there we're
100000 Jews starving in Russia.
Leopold De Rothschild presided and
Lord Swaytholing, Chief Rabbi Hertz,
Israel Zangwil and other prominent
Jews were present.
Rabbi Hertz described the task be-
fore those raising the fund as vast and
urgent. The response to the appeal
for funds from the British Jews, he
said, was not nearly adequate, mainly
owing to their ignorance of the real
state Of affairs. For nearly year
there has been a sinister silence in
the general press, broken only occa-
sionally by a sheer at the Jews on the
part of preachers of race hatred and
apologists for reaction. The Jews, he
added, were face to face with a
tragedy unparalleled in the history of
Jewish agony.
The Petrograd authorities. Rabbi
Hertz concluded, expected million
pounds ($5,O00,0O0) from the British
Jews and only 100000 had been
raised He said the present call was
for sacrifices and self taxation.
