Movement is Launched in
Japan for Social Better
ment in That Country.

TOXIC, Feb. 9.-The Federated
Missions of Japan at their recent an
nual conference decided upon launch
ing widespread movement for the
evan gelization and social betterment
of rural communities in Japan 1t
was resolved that every missionary
should take it upon himself to begin
work in at least one new village this
year.
One of the reports to the confer
ence pointed out the progress being
made in industrial welfare in Japan.
There was an encouraging increase
in the number of wealthy native
leaders, who were interesting them
selves in such reforms. In Osaka a
philosophical man had given $780,
900 for city building for the ben
eft of the working classes; another
man donated $2,5O0,O0O for a hos
pltal and laboratory for the study
and treatment of tuberculosis, and
some eighteen private sanatorlums,

What preparation. II any, ought
the United States to make for ma
tional defense? Our citizens seem to
be of three minds on this vital ques-
tinn. We have those who clamor for
immediate military preparedness;
those who advocate being ultimately
prepared; and the third class can see
no necessity at all for military prepa-
rations, urging that we remain as we
have been. They are crying:
peace, peace." but there is no
peace.
To discuss this matter from the
military angle alone is q great mis-
take. To do this is to ignore the
fact that there are also involved re-
ligious, commercial, industrial and
social questions of the greatest i'm
port.
The present European struggle has
rudely Jared our confidence In the
spread Of universal peace, and has
revealed an underlying savagery pos
itively alarming. The readers OF the
Telegram will readily call to mind
many recent incidents OF the war
which prove that, under the thin veil
of civilization, there Is a reversion TO
primitive times in the cruelty, saw
agery and inhumanity manifested by
the warning elements in Europe. And
the question arises in our minds,
should the scene OF activity be shift
ed to within our own borders, would
the case be different We fear not.
But, would an increase in our army
and navy constitute national prepar-
edness for such contingency. There
are many who maintain that our
only guarantee Of safety from attack
from without lies In military prepar-
edness 10 resist such imaginary foe.

THE SEVEN MAsTs.

Guantanamo, Cuba, March 9-That
the distinctly American sailing ship
has disappeared from the high seas is
evidenced in the fact that only so
per cent. of the force Of United States
Marines on duty at this station could
tell the names of the seven nasts, at
an examination recently held here.
These soldiers and sailors o.
members of the United States Marine
Corps, keep themselves keen1y alive
to things nautical, we'll as military,
and that only half Of the force could
name the seven masts is due entirely
to the fact that there are now no
seven-masted schooners flying the
American flag The Thomas w. Law
son was the last of these.
Fore, main, mizzen, pusher, driver,
jigger and spanker are the names in
order, running fore and aft, of a

GREATEST EVER,
VERDICT OF ALL
ON ELKS' SHOW
Remarkable Collection of
Famed Acts Wins Un-
stinted Praise.

| Said to be the most remarkable col
lection of excellent circus acts that
has ever performed in Bridgeport, the
Elks' Big Circus is now completing its
fifth day at the Armory. Unanimous
and unstinted praise has come from
everyone who has visited the now IA
nous show and enthusiasts have
spread word of it's wonders to other
cities, which are now sending their
citizens to witness the performance.
One of the most remarkable acts Is
that of the Leaping Col1ies or Roman
Chariot dogs in which several hand
some collies running about the arena
at a terrific speed are met by other
dogs, which from the opposite direc-
ton, leap over them. A slight mistake
on the part of one dog would break up
the act. The same dogs also appear in
several other novel and difficult per-
formances.
These acts are the invention and
work of w. A. Wells, who is said to
world today. Mr.. Wells is also the
trainer of the pony, Boston," and Of
several other acts of the big show.
He is still a young man whose years
of experience are manifest only in the
high quality of his work. This peer
of animal trainers himself is with this
act at the circus for the entire week
that it is in this city. Before the sea-
son is over, the performance will have
delighted hundreds of thousands of
people throughout the entire United
States.
Always one of the jolIiest things
about a circus is the clowns and a
merrier group of funmadng dndivid-
uajls than those who furnish food for
laughs at the Elks' circus has never
been found under canvas.
Without doubt one of the most at
n
ance is that furnished by Miss Hines
and her statue horse in which various
poses are assumed.
Ella Ferber and her beautiful steed,
stPegaSus,'' win unanimous applause
while other acts are Mr.. Wells trained
horses which excite amazement by
their cleverness, the wonderful riding
performance of Fred Derrick and
Edna Bradna, while as a novelty,
Bornghi, the tiny bareback rider, wins
many laughs for his humorous feats.
The splendid performance of the
Sfegrist troupe of aeriaEsts and the
acrobatic accomplishments of the Carl
Eugene troupe, and Ruby Jordan,
Helen Urma. and Oscar Jordan, like
wise world known acrobats, are other
features of the circus.
Al Goulden and his two side shows

trade with Germany and her neutral
neighbors. England's object was to
starve Germany into submission by
these Illegal means.
Germany, after neutral citizens
had lost their lives. against it's wish
and intention in the further course
of the war complied with the wishes
# the American government regard
ing the use of her submarines. The
rights of neutra1s regarding legal
trading were in fact nowhere limited
by Germany.
f'Then England made it impossible
for submarines to conform with the
old rules of International law by arm
ing nearly all merchantmen and by
ordering the use of guns on merchant
vessels for attack.
e"The principle of the United States
government not to keep their citizens
off belligerent merchant ships has
been used by Great Britain and her
allies to arm merchant ships for Of
fensive purposes Under these cir
cumstances, merchantmen can easily
destroy submarine and. if their attack
fails, still consider themselves in safety
by the presence of American citizens
on board.
'"The order to use arms British
merchantmen was supplemented by
instructions to the masters of such
ships to hoist false flags and to ram
