REVOLT AMONG MEMBERS OF
 STRIKING GARMENT WORKERS
Members of Dress and Waist Makers
 Union Demand Representation.

New York, Feb 11-Union officials in charge of the strike of 40, nee de workers for higher wages and better working conditions were con- fronted today with the possibility of revolt by the members of the Dress and Waist Makers Union. Several hundred girls were exhorted by one of their number at a meeting in a downtown hotel to demand represen- tation in the strike management. Jen- nie Matyas, the insurrectionist, de- clared that 90 per cent of those en- gagged in the dress and waist indus try are girls, none of whom have any real part in conducting the strike. The girls are used merely as puppets she asserted. It was said after the meeting that several prominent suf- fragists will support the feminine workers in their demands for repre- sentation.

REMARKABLE ANCIENT
 COMPLICATIONS IN PERU
Discovered by G. w. MonkiII, Member
 of Yale Expedition.

New York, Feb. 11-An ancient for tiicaation declared to be more re- markable from a nengineering view point than the pyramids of Egypt, has been discovered in the Andes, accord ing to G. w. MonkilI, a member of the Yale and Geographical society expedi- tions to Peru, who returned here today on the United Fruit steamer Santa Marta
 MT MonkilI, who is a graduate of McC11ll university Montreal, said the Archaologists had discovered apparent evidences of a Pre-Azeto civilization which f1ourished about the eighth cen- tury. Excavations made forty five miles from Cuzco, Peru, revealed the fortification. It is an enormous edi- fic, MT. Monkill said composed of stones weighing thirty and forty tons which had been transferred from quarry across a river and carried up 9 steep mountain side.
 MT. Monkill said the only possible theory as to the method used to con- Vey the stones across the river was that the natives damned one half of the waterway, brought the stone to the center, then built a second dam across the remaining half and grad ually destroyed the first dam.

Hard fighting is still in progress around Vimy, where the French are endeavoring to recapture positions taken from them recently by the Ger mans. Berlin reports that four French attacks in this region have been put down and also that a similar offensive with a like purpose south of the Somme resulted in failure.
 The French, however, have been &C., tive with their artillery at various points and have caused considerable damage to German positions.
 In the Riga section of the Russian front artillery dueIs have been in progress. In Volhynia, near Tchemer- inc, the Russians have repulsed Teu- tonic counter-attacks, and northwest of Tarnopol have held a strategic height despite an attack by numerical ly superior forces of Austro- -Hungari- ans, according to Petrograd.
 Except for the Artois region and the Volhynia and East Galicia sections of the Russian line, the virtual inactivity that has prevailed for several days continues.
 The Italians and Austrians are keep ing up their artillery duels on the Aus tro Italian front despite the heavy snows in the mountain regions and here and there delivering infantry at tacks against each other, but without appreciable result. In Albania the Austro -Hungarians have occupied Tir- ana, a short distance northeast of the port of Durazzo, and also dominating heights in that region.
 Petrograd says the Russians in their operations against the Turks continue to make progress and that all attempts by the Ottomans to assume an offen- sive are being put down by the Russian fire. Commandments of Turkish posi- tions on the Black sea coast are being kept up by Russian storpedo craft. On the other hand, ConstantinopIe asserts that in the fighting, between the Turks and the British in Mesopotamia the British attempted an advance from the right bank of the Tigris, but were compelled to retreat to their old posi- tions.

 It was over this plan that Secre- tary Garrison and Senator Chamber lain came into sharp disbursement last year. The chairman urged a com plete reorganization of the army as suggested by the plan of 1912.

COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY
 OF LATIN AMERICA
For Future Occupation of - ssionary
 Work at Religious Congress.

Panama, Feb. 11.-A comprehensive survey of all Latin-America for fu- ture occupation of missionary work was today made in an address by speakers from both Latin-America and the United States at the second days session of the Congress on Re 1gious Work in Latin-America, which had under discussion the subject, Sur vey and Occupation.
 The attitude of a majority of the delegates was voiced by Dr. Silas D. Daugherty of Philadelphia, who de- clared that in view of the interest taken in the United States of Latin American affairs commercially, busi- ness and religion should march hand in-hand. Out of this he said would arise a true Latin -Americanism which would be helpful to both sections of the western hemisphere.
 The Rev. Harlan P. Beach of New Haven, Conn.,, declared that Latin America should be carefully surveyed before aggressive work was under taken there, in order that the activi- ties begun should take the proper di- rection and bring forth the greatest results.
 During the session the report of the commission on survey and occupation was presented.
