COMMERCIAL ALLIANCE OF
THE ENTENTE POWERS
(By Associated Press. }

London, jan S.-An important
conference will be held in London in
January to discuss proposals dealing
with British trade after the war to
prepare a program to be laid before
the government in the name of Brit
ISL commerce. The object of the con
ference will be to form an offensive
and defensive commercial alliance of
the entente powers against Ger
many and her allies. The confer
ence will be attended by representa-
tives of all the chambers of com
mercc throuehout the United King
dom and it is thought that as a re-
suit of the deliberations then held,
the future commercial policy of the
country will be formulated
Although the questions of post
bellim rehabilitation have occupied
trade cii cles for some time and been
frequently discussed informally, the
first expression of government opin-
ion was made by Mr.. Asquith in a
recent meeting of parliament, when
he stated that present preoccupa
tion in the endeavor to secure vic
tory ought not to prevent the taking
OF measures to insure the proper
consideration OF economic, social and
financial problems, which will arise
after the war The chamber of COM
mercc insists that business men in
trade should Immediately begin in
designations and that defined trade
bnliev should be evolved as soon as
possible, or at least long before the
Wal is over, so that basis may be
prepared for commercial alliance
with the entente lowers which shall
become operative the day that peace
is signed

(By Associated Press. J

London, Jan S.-The Russian

portant place in the war news. The
capture of Czartorysk is the latest
achieN ement reported The Russians
claim full possession of the village
but the Austrians deny that they
have advanced further than. the

region, trying to hold the positions
that screen Kovel and the line be-

farther north in the Pinsk neighbor-

threatens to envelope.
The Czarotrisk news is taken with
reserve as German report dated

that all lost ground has been retak-

CLEAN HEALTH BILL FOR
FL0RlDA'S GREATEST CHARITY

Jacksonville, Jan. S-With a total
of over $50 cases in 1915, no deaths
occurred among the children hand
led by the Children's S Home Society
of Florida during the past twelve
months, according TO Marcus Fagg,
superintendent of the organization
This ic the first year since the So
ciety was organized that there has
not been at least one death, which
medical attention given by DR.. Jas.
B. Lowe, the physician in charge
and other physicians who have as
sisted the home.
This record is exceptional when
the fact is taken into consideration
that during 1915 there were more
sick babies and older children than
during any preceding year. While
the report of the society has not
been compiled yet, it is estimated
that ever $50 childrenj including
babies, were handled in 1915.
Superintendent Fagg stated this
splendid record was accomplished
through the untiring efforts of DR..
Love, who, he says, has visited the
home every day, whether there was
sickness in the receiving home or not
and by this strict attention prevent
ed illness, and saved those who
were afflicted.
eve could not have secured more
efficient and better service from a
physician had we employed a man
at $4,000 year" said Superin-
tendent Fagg.
1t has not been matter of dol
lars and cents with the society
when a child became i'll, because no
expense was spared to bring re-
turn of health In many cases wet
nurses were hired, when it was nee
essary, and prescribed by the ply
sician. The last death occurred in
the home in August, 1914, and since
that time at least 1900 cases have
been handled, it is said.

SOLDIERS REFRESHMENT
BUFFET IN VICTORIA STATION

London, Jan S.-The history of
tho soldiers refreshment buffet in
Victoria Station, London, is in a
small way the history of British ef-
fort in the war. The buffet began
in a loose and unorganized fashion,
moro CT less helpless from lack of
precedent, and gradually developed
unit, it now represents high eff
cheney backed by a steady determin-
alton &c see the thing out to the
end
All the early organizations have
concentrated their efforts in a sin
gle management which dispenses
$3.50 worth of tea, coffee, cocoa,
sandwiches, bread and butter and
cake weekly, all supplied by private
dol ,iions. Branch buffets are main
tanned at the stations of less mill
tary Importance, at an additional
expense, and the whole machinery
runs like clockwork 1t is the same
sort of transformation that has
gone on in every department of the
British government, from the rails
ing of recruits to the making of mu-
nitions.
Victoria station is great barn
like railway terminal in the center
of the metropolitan area. It's lines
feed many important southern and
ports, such as Ports
mouth, Southampton, Brighton,
Folkstone and Dover There the
troup trains arrive at night with
their loads of men on furlongh from
the trenches, and there the return
ing trains leave every morning to
carry back those whose week of
home and liberty has expired. Be
tween times, there is a constant
stream of soldiers arriving from or
returning to the great training
camIs at Aldershot and other
points.
Ar average of about 1000 soldiers
daily are fed at Victoria station
Eighty women volunteer workers un-
der the direction of Mrs. Kenward
Matthews stand six-hour shifts day
and night, for it is in the early
NOR, ing period that hot refresh
ments are most needed and most ap-

BIRTH OF A NEW PRINCE

TOXIC Jan. S.-Ihe prince born
| ecently to Empress Sadoko, making
the fourth son of emperor Yoshihito,
has been named Suminomiya Taxa
hito. The event of the birth, on the
day cf the great coronation military
review which is held only once in
the lifetime of an emperor, has been
interpreted by Japanese people as
an amen bespeaking the lasting per-
petuity and prosperity of the imper
ial family. The announcement that
both the empress and the infant are
doing well has also been welcome
news to the people in view of the
fact that rumors concerning the
health of the empress had recently
been circulated widely.
The Japanese people for ages have
believed in signs as indicating the
trend of the future and the glorious
view which could he had of the sa-

of the crescent moon, which was
followed at dusk by the news of the
birth of an imperial prince, created
most favorable impression among
older people that destiny of the i'm
peria' house and of the nation will
be a glorious one. 1t was recalled
that the emperor's third son, Prince
Nobuhito Takamatsu-no- -miya was
born on the day the supposedly in
vinc;ble Russian fortress at Port Ar
thur capitulated to the Japanese
army January 3, 1905.
On the day of the birth Of the new
prince, while the emperor was re-
viewing his troops on the grounds
where the empress was confined she
was able to see the fleet of aero
planes and airships manoeuvering
over the parade ground, and. accom-
panied by her court ladies, she was
seen to wave flaes in salutation to
this newest arm of Japanese defence.
Fulfilling hereditary custom. the
emperor has presented a sword to
the infant prince. This is a token of
prot from all manner of evil
thii.n n%, and is a survival of the for
mer widespread custom of present
ing every japanese boy baby with a
sword representing the soul of the
Japanese samurai or warrior. An
Other tradition called for the pre-
sentation of smaller sword to all
baby girls, the weapon to be used for
self-destruction in case the child
were attacked beyond means of re-
lief from family or friends.
within a few days religious
ceremony will be held in the pres
ence Of the infant prince. Specially
appointed court scholars will read
selected passages from the books of
ancient sages, Confucius and others,
and the court musicians will playi
sacred airs on harps and fiut9kfo
calm and purify the spirit of the
chile The underlying idea is that
the infant by hearing the sacred mu-
sic is inspired to i sense of virtue
and high morality 1t is also be-
lieved that if the player is not a
man of virtue the sound of
the stringed instrument will not be
harmonious The child being named,
the birth and name will be formally
reported to the spirit of Amaterasu
Omikami, the Sun Goddess, who is
tradiiionally regarded as the anees-
trail founder of the imperial Japan
ese house. Also a communication is
