to Washington officials, to know the
extent of other nations preparations
for war. Following a statement of
cold, hard facts, each of the presi
dents talks will conclude with a plea
for larger army and navy with which
to defend the United States against in
vssion. The president will base this
plea upon present existing conditions
throughout the world.
President Wilson anticipates leay-
ing Washington tomorrow at midnight.
He will journey on that occasion to
New York, and on Thursday will speak
III that city. Thursday at midnight
the chief executive expects to return
to Washington for a stay of one day

ing tour which will carry Mr.. Wilson

tLis tour will be at Pittsburg, Pa ,
where the president has accepted an
invitation to speak on the night of
January 29th, next Saturday.

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Monistir and Giey-
sell, Serbia, have been again attacked
by French aeroplanes. A Havas dis
patch giving details of the lombard
nlent, says sixteen air machines parti-
cipated.
The attack of these Serbian cities
constitutes the chief center Of inter
est in Balkan operations today. The
fall of Scutari on yesterday has al.
ready been announced. The fighting
at that point is reported as having
been exceptionally sanguinary. Cas-
ualties sustained by the attackers
were unusually heavy.
Few details concerning today's air
attack on Monistir are available, but
the bombardment of Gievgeli is report
ed to have been successful. At this
latter place more than a hundr per-
sens were either killed OF ared by
bombs. The damage /. military
structures was also heavy. The
French sustained no casualties during
the aerial bombardment
A feature of interest in connection
with the attack on Gievgeli today is
the fact that several of the aeroplanes
participating travelled 100 miles be-
fore returning to their base. During
the flight heavy equipment was car
Tied by all the machines, and not one
was brought done. One of two Of
tie sixteen air craft engaged in the

CARRANZA TAKES UP
LAND GRANTS IN HIS
WORK ON new NATION
TEN THOUSAND LEFT
FOR FOUNDING AN
ORR MANAGE IN CA.

By the will of the late Mrs. Sarah
A. Turner, of Jefferson, Ca, a be-
quest of $4,000 has been left to the
Presbyterian Synod of Georgia, for
the purpose of establishing an or
phanage at or near Athens, Ga. This
bequast is upon condition that a like
amount is raised by the synod within
two years after her death. Mrs. Tur.
ner died July LIST, 1914.
The will provides that should the
Synod of Georgia fail to meet the con-
ditions, the bequest is to go to the
Thornwell Orphanage of Clinton,
which institution is under the joint
control of the three synods of South
Carolina, Florida and Georgia. While
recognizing the excellence Of the
Thornwell orphanage, quite a num-
Der throughout the Synod of Georgia
sympathize with Mrs. Turner in the
view that the Presbyterians of Geor-
gia should have an orhpanage located
within the state. To such the bequest
of Mrs. Turner presents an opportun-
ity which should not be lost.
At its last meeting the Synoo OF
Georgia put this matter into the hands
of commission, of which Rev. I. s.
McElroy, D. D., of Columbus, is chair
man. Those interested in this matter
and desiring to make contribution
towards meeting the conditions of H~,-s.
Turner's will should communicate
with DR.. McElroy, of Columbus. In
case the $4,000 should be in sight by
July 1st, the commission would call a
special meeting of the synod to act ia
the premises.
