when Jerry Bryant Of Bryant's
Minstrels told Dan Emmett, one OF
his company's popular members, to
write q song for the company, neither
he nor Emmett dreamed that the pro-
duct of that effort would become Inn
mortal.
When Emmett sat down to the task
and attempted to gather his wits he
found his mind in a state of chaos till
he looked through the window at the
storm outside and was reminded Of
how many times, In his earlier circus
days, when the show would be caught
IN cold storm In the northland, he
had heard the negro fcanyasmen wall

JAPS TO EXPAND
POWER PLANTS

TOXIC, Jan. The Japanese gov
arnnent is considering steps TOT en-
;areing the munition producing capac-
ity of the county, and proposal IS be-
ing discussed by which three OF the
principal financial and manufacturing
concerns in Japan will combine to err
ect an armament plant of large capac-
ity. ,. :
Until now the manufacture of arms
and ammunition has been reserved for
the government arsenals in Toxic and
Osaka. The European War has shown
that the present plant is inadequate to
furnish the enormous amount OF guns
and shells required in modern warfare,
and it is believed that the deficiency
can be made good by giving encour.
agement to private enterprise which
in normal times would make NUM-
tons to sell to other powers and In the
time Of war would be available for the
government.
No figures are Of course public as
to the capacity Of the arsenals at pres.
ent The Allies have placed with ia
pan the largest orders which she can
undertake but these do not amount to
anything like fifty per cent OF the re.
quirements Of Russia alone. Much lar
ger orders would have been given IT
Japan could have guaranteed delivery
within eighteen months.
These war orders are q source OF
great financial strength to Japan at
present and they will probably turn
her adverse trade balance into favor
able one. The discovery that more or
ders would have been received If they
could have been carried out has open
ed the eyes of the business classes to
the opportunities which war provides.
and the military authorities have been
alarmed by the discovery that their
resources for producing guns and ma
terial of war are not sufficient for the
requirements Of a war with a first
class power.
The matter has not been decided
and Is partly hung up by the fact that
the plant could not be got into work
ing order In time to supply the pres
emit belligerents, partly because the de-
mand for machinery Is assgreat as the
demand for shells. But there is little
doubt that it will be carried through
with the encouragement of the gov
eminent. ....-.

GENERALS or GERMAN

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The Russians
have turned against the many gener.
ais Of German descent In the army of

German names are distruSted and

in chief states that many Of our people
are becoming very pesAimistic. be-
cause we do not gain the expecteS

strong enemy. This pessinhism is hurt
full to our cause. because it breeds all
kinds of rumors and unjust charges.
The commanderin-chief has learned
that generals and other high officials
who do not bear Russian names are
accused. Of treason by the public. The
prosecution of all persons responsible
for the spreading of these grounGless
rumors has been ordered. but this is
not sufficient to stamp out the distrust
against our commanders of German
ancestry.
1t Is necessary that the generals
who have German names convince the
public and the soldiers Of their abso.

avoid everything that might be taken
as sign Of pro-German sentiment and
they should be surrounded only by

The conmander-in-c chief therefore
has decided that all adjutants and

are now attached to the different
headquarters shall be sent to their reg.
