Energetic Discoverer Of

Action and He Seems to
Have Obtained It Through
the Power Of the London
Times.

London, Dec. 15.--Although David
ed almost with the powers of die
tator, it Is agreed by all that Lord
Northcliffe, owner Of the London Times
is in effect the driving force of the
government and the virtual ruler OF
Great Britain. Said an American crit
ic, who has observed British politics
closely:
Behind aroused England, behind the
parliamentary, hat waving Leadership
stands Northcliffe--the steady, far
seeing, hard driving, practical man
whose training was got not in law o.
diplomacy, but in life. And the import
of it for England Is very great. II
means an end of two things-slowness
and bungling.
England knowing she is immortal
has always had q comfortable feeling
that she could take her time about
things. But Northcliffe is not slow and
he cannot tolerate dawdling. For toe
many years he has been used--horribly
used--to the swift exactitude of life
And he does not bungle. You cant

HIS DISCOVERY.
HE has found in Lloyd George ar
agent-and an energy-ready to his
hand. The one thing essentially great
in Northcliffe has been that. always, he
knew how to use men. Napoleon at st
Helena, looking back on his life, said
his secret was that he know how to gel
out of men all they had to give.
Some of that faculty Northcliffe
had at the beginning, and he has de-
veloped and perfected 1t through years
of labor in the most complex of all thu

Scarcity of Potash May Work Hard
ship on American Farmers

Washington, Jan. 3.-An alarming
scarcity of fertilizer material due
principally to the German embargo
against the expectation of potash. has
caused Secretary of Agriculture Eous-
ton to take a personal interest in the
situation He has announced that
government experts are working to
meet the serious situation by the
development of American resources.
The department is investigating all
aspects of the situation and is plan
ming to send experts to California to
study the situation and especially to
consider possibilities of production on
a commercial scale" said the secre-
tary.
According to Mr. Houston there is
practically no potash n this country
at the present time for fertilizer use
He says that the small quantities
which were held over from former
years are now priced at from eight to
twelve times their former value. The
nitrogen situation Is of less pressing

London, Oct. 13.--Lord Robert Ce-

told the Associated Press today that
the operations of the German SUBJ
marine off the American coast had
raised no new issues, as far as Great
Britain is concerned.

Referring to the recent meeting in

FINE SERMON BY
REV. D. p SLAUGHTER

To an appreciative audience, Rev.
D. ?. Slaughter preached deep and
profound sermon last night at the
First Methodist church from the
text, "For what shall it profit a man
If he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul, or what will man give
in exchange for his soul2"
The speaker spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Doubtless the question what will
it pay? or what will be the profit :?
has been asked thousands of times by
business men today. Men oftentimes
in commercial life make losing in
vestments. There isn't any invest
ment from the standpoint of business,
in this life, absolutely safe. The
storm, the past summer, cost the peo-
pie millions of dollars. Just before
the Titanic went dewn, it is related,
a man went into his room and saw
100000 on his tale, but the money
seemed very small in comparison
with his life.
"Some years ago Willie Outlaw wa.

detectives were sent out by the father
to find the bay. Finally he received
an anonymous letter that if $4,000
was left at a certain place the boy
would be returned He complied, and
the son was restored. The father, on
being asked if the lad was worth the
amount, replied.A Yes, a hundred
times that amount
There are hundreds of men and
women here in our city lost to purity,
lost to righteousness, lost to God.

RUNAWAY TEAM

by a runaway on East Intendencia
street yesterday afternoon, and it is
possible but for the quick action of
Troy Nicholas, small negro boy,
some damage might have been done

Ice Company became frightened, and
ran across Palafox street, barely
missed striking a street car and an
automobile, when the boy, who. had
succeeded in climbing into the wages,
succeeded in stopping the team.
