WOOD URGES ARMY' .0F 220,00O WITH q
 MILLION IN RESERVE
Head of Army Repeats Be- fore House Committee Testimony Given
 Senate

Washington, January 27.-The position was described to the House military com mittee today by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as like that of "a ship at sea, with ty- phon signals coming from many direc- tions"
 We are living in an era of war; he said 'and gradually are accumulating most of the troubles of the world"
 General Wood, who appeared at the committees hearings on the army increase bills, repeated in the main the testimony he previously had given before the Sen ate military committee. He said it would take an army of 100000 to hold line from Boston south. Should conditions at the close of the war in Europe invite attack, he declared any of the more pow erful of the belligerents could land 800, 00o men on American soil in less than 30 days.
 ARMY OF 22O,0O0
 A regular army of 22O0OO, fully trained and always under arms, with at least 1000 900 reserves behind them, should be provided, he urged, to meet this situation. The United States navy he c!assed as fourth in fighting efficiency and declared it could not maintain control of the sea nor defend the coasts.
 While General Wood and Col. Edwin F. Glenn, chief of staff of the department of the east, were testifying before the ,,,i1i fo fnr fnn respectively, Rear Admiral F. s. Griffin chief engineer of the navy. told the House naval committee, considering navy increases, of the mechanical ills to which submarines are heir and of the. problems of finding suitable engines for battle ships and destroyers.
 Admiral Griffin said he believed no for eign power was outstripping the United States in submarine design, and that type for type, American craft were IS efficient as any af1oat. To show the condition of American submarines, he read a report stating that they each had done from 1000 to TOGO miles of surface cruising and several hundred miles submerged last year. Their engines were available for duty approximately 300 days out of the year, he added. .
 Although the navy has plans for a 25- knot steam-drven submarine. it probably will stick for the present to 20-knot oil driven submersibles, Rear Admiral Griffin said The new 20-knot submersibles of the Schley type, now building, Admiral Griffin said, would be faster than any foreign submarine so far as known.
 NEW SUBMARINE PLAN
 Members of the committee asked for detailed information about the Neff sys- tem of submarine propulsion, which does away with electric storage batteries and their dangers by use of oil engines both on the surface and submerged. The de- partrnent has asked for s500, ,o90 to test the system Admiral Griffin said two objec- tions urged against it were that the noise of the motor might reveal sabsermisb,e to enemy ships equipped for under water signalling and that the engine exhaust might create wake of bubbles, making

STRONG FEELING
 IS BEING AROUSED
 IN THIS COUNTRY
British Have No Authority Over Neutral Sealed Mail On Ships Which Merely Touch At the English Ports r,

Washington, January N.-The text or the American protest to Great Britain against interference with neutral mails, made public tonight, reveals that diplo- matic and consular dispatches nave been treated in manner the United States considered "vexatously inquistorial - The note describes the practices of Brit ish officials as ''unwarranted interfer- ences," and, in urgently requesting a prompt reply, points out that "a strong feeling is being aroused" in this country by the loss of valuab ble letters, while for eign banks are refusing to cash American drafts because they have no assurances that drafts are secure in the mails.
 The United States declares that parcel post articles are entitled to the exemp- tons of neutral trade and denies the right of Great Britain to take neutral mail ships into British jurisdiction for purposes of search and then submit them to local censorship regulations. It also denies that the British government has any authority over neutral sealed mails on ships which merely touch at British pOrtS

ly murmuring sigh was made by all
the villagers, which | was told to
mean that all the five porous earthen
jars must never be used again by the

ciOusly, however, on the basis of my
ignorance and the spirit of my apol-
ogy. AS matter OF curiosity and to
avoid waste, offered to pay for the
jars that | might carry them home

the price at pice a piece, amounting

New light has been thrown on the
legal side of arsenic poisoning. 1t has
been found that arsenic compounds
are absorbed by the hair OF living per
sons though not absorbed after death
In the hair of man arsenic has been
known TO reach concentration OF one
to five parts in 100000. The deposit
takes place in the hair after 1t has
been absorbed by the abdominal or
gans-liver and kidney in particular.
Therefore, in case of acute quick poi
soning a chemical analysis OF the hair
would show no arsenic while it would
be found In the liver and kidneys. says
Scientific American. On the other
hand, If slow arsenic poisoning was
suspected, analysis would show ar
senic in the hair. but not in the liver
and kidneys, and it could safely be as
sumed that the poisoning was not re-
cent. The legal value of such evil

Washington Herald. Birds supplied
with fat from the food they eat in the
