Boston, Jan. s.-Dr. P. ". Bridgn2n,
in creating new substances by pressure
in the Harvard chemical laboratory. has
water at nearly the boiling
point. Only the limitations Of his sp-
parstus have prevented him from making
ice at a temperature OF thousand de-

metals melt This hot ice Is the perma-

DECEIVING WORKING MEN

In explaining whats Wrong With the
World" Peter w. Collins, Of Massachu-
setts, brought on a rapid fire OF questions
when he talked in the National Theater
last night to an audience which crowded
the theater from floor to gallery. MI
Collins explained that the real aiiment
from which this old world Is suffering IL
a lack of harmony between capital and
labor and also from the haIlucination that
socialism Is force which Is at work
for the benefit of the laboring classes,
an issue brought into being and backed
by the working class.
Socialism wants to get the laboring
class, but 1t did not come from them"
said Mr.. Collins. THE reason socialism
wants the laboring class is because So
ciety is made up largely of that class
and this political party wants to get the
working classes and use them as a crow
bar to pry society of its foundation. So
cislisnt is not even a political issue, the
socialist platform Is simply a device
for getting the attention of the working
classes.
Ninety per cent OF the socialists do
not know what socialism is. It is not
a government ownership, although many
fmisconstrue II to mean that. 1t is a
community ownership that socialism
stands for, but there are many things
entering into the socialist platform that
have no bearing on socialism. The mini
mum wage law is included in the plat
form, when every one ought to know that
socialism does not sanction wages at all
This is for the purpose of deceiving the
working man.
Mr.. Collins, who came to Washington
on the invitation of the State Council
of the Knights of Columbus of the Dis
trict, was warmly supported by the audi
enCe, both during his talk and the open
forum which followed

GERMAN CREDIT LOW.
London Says Decline of Marx and
Krone Foreshadows End,

London, Jan. s.-More impressive than
the new Russian advance as an indica-
ton that Germany and Austria are on
the eve of disaster is the fall of the
German mark and the Austrian krone
and the coincidentaI appreciation of the
Paris cheque and the pound sterling in
all neutral countries.
The slump in the mark and the fall in
the Austrian krone in New York are
gratifying to bankers here. The fnan-
eiers Of Holland. Scandinavia, and Switz-
erland believe that the practical collapse
OF Teutonic credit foreshadows the be-
ginning of the end
In Stockholm, according to the Morn
ing Post German and Austrian values
are now the lowest on record, while the
rate FOR francs and pounds sterling is
advancing steadily.

STATISTICS DISCLOSED

National preparedness or adequate ma
tional defense to preserve the integrity of
the United states in any event was the
general theme of illustrated lectures at
the Belasco Theater last night, when
"An Evening of Defense" under the d.
rection of Neyil Monroe Hopkins, su-
thor, traveller and engineer. was pre-
sented for the benefit OF the Belgian
scholarship fund. Men of national repu-
tation disclosed by proven statistics the
present comparatively weak position of
the United States and as a moral cited
the devastation Of Belgium by the Ger
man army as an example of being un-
prepared.
With figures gathered from the data
of reports of the various departments.
the speakers held up to ridicule the ''puny
and weak defense to an invasion by a
foreign foe permissible by an inadequate
army and navy.
U. s. Demands Are DroII.
"in view of the present inadequate
military force. to hear the United
States government make demands
upon other nations"
The meeting was presided over by
Charles Page Bryan, former minister
to Belgium and ambassador to Japan
from the United States.
Pleading for a larger and more ade-
quste navy. Nevil Monroe Hopkins
cited the numerous historical events
that have meant victory with a su-
perior force and defeat with an in
ferior one.
Mr.. Hopkins urged that immigration
into the United States be restricted and.
II necessary, stopped altogether until the
present flood OF immigrants have been
assimilated. Quality not quantity" he
said, makes a great nation.
Sarcastic About Army.
Burning sarcasm in reference to the
standing army, the militia and the pres
ent method of securing an army through
the volunteer system featured the ad-
dress OF Frederic ]. Huidekoper on
American Land Forces" who protrayed
the American army from the days Of
the Revolutionary war 10 the present
day. He said, there can be no patriotic
fighting army twhere the greatest incen-
tive to enter the service of the country
is an easy life with a pension in a few
years as the reward.
The statistics presented by Mr. Huide-
koper. showing the thorough Inadequate
ness Of the army of the United States to
Withstand an attack from an invading
foe or to successfully invade where op-
posed by a properly trained army such
AS possessed by the countries OF Europe,
amazed the audience
THE Devastation of Belgium was the
subject of an address by Prof George
Sarton. of the University OF Ghent, Bel
gtum, now lecturer Of George Washing
ton University. Had Belgium been pre-
pared" he said. ''the Germans would not
have dared to commit the crime of vio-
lating solemn promised neutrality"
Frederic R Coudert, director of the
committee France-America and of the
French Alliance in the United States,
closed the meeting with an interesting
summing up of the entire proposition of
national defense"
