What One Days War Cost Would Do.

w nat oEle Lay w ar SOSt NOulu DO.
Reading that $5O,00O,0O0 per
day was expended in the European
war, / sat down the other day and
did some figuring, was thinking
what might be done in the Central
American field with this money.
With it we could build and equip
great university in each of the five
republics of Central America, each
costing one million dollars. These
five universities would cost $4,000
600. We would endow the univer-
stiles with one million each. We
would erect professional schools CO.
originating with the university cost
ing ,$250,0O0 each, or $2,500,000
for the ten. We would set aside for
endowment for each professional
school the sum of $25O,000. In the
important centers we would erect
in the five countries twenty-five hos
pitfalls costing 100000, or $780,
900 each. We would put aside $5,-
100000 for maintaining them. We
would establish 1900 high schools
and academies. We would build fif-
teen hundred churches and chapels
and still have left from this fund
nearly $2,000,000 to help maintain
the churches and advanced mission
airy work. We would erect fifty
handsome structures for Y. NJ. G. A.
and Y. w. C. A. to work among the
youth of these countries. In build
ing and equipment we would expend
ST. 100000, or $4,000 for each
building. We would have an endow-
ment fund of $1,50O,000. We
would have $1,50O,000 for fifty Ii
braries in fifty centers and put aside
$500, 900 to keep them supplied.
We would devote $25O,O0O for five
orphanages In each capital city of
the five Central American countries
we would have little farm and nice
home for fatherless children. We
would endow them with an addi-
tional $25O,O0O. Almost nothing is
being done for the blind of these
countries, so we would expend $780,
900 in this work, erecting proper
buildings, and endowing the work
with another $250,OO0. Then we
would establish five Old Folks
Homes properly equipped costing
$25O,O00 and appropriate $250,000
endowment funds for the same. FL
nally we could take $4,000 to es
tablish and equip printing plant
and put aside another $4,000 as
an endowment fund for taking care
of the work. For Central America we
would ask just this much and we
would practically take care forever
of the work of God in these coun-
tries, using it in way to develop
and not destroy the initiative Of the
people.-A Missionary in Guate-
mala, in The Christian Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 13.- It is believed that despite the work on hand of the Road Commissioner Richardson, the lowest road appro- priation will be made for Alaskan road work that has as yet been made by Congress. Garrison only asks for $150,000 in his report, and as it is felt that most of the money available will have to be spent cn the railroad, the rest of Alaska in dire need of trails will have to suffer.
 Efforts were being made to in- fluence Wickersham to have the ap- propriation increased, but owing to the bad team work of Richardson

TOKYO, Jan. 13.-Count Okuma the leading Japanese imperialist and a noted pro-Ally, having urged active participation in the war, was very close to death this morning when two bombs were hurled under meath his auto when returning from tre Foreign Office.
 Neither bombs exploded directly and the auto had proceeded quite a distance before the detonation shook the buildings and injured several as they exploded.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-01-14

Some Tokio papers charge the bomb throwing to Teuton conspira- tors and urges that the unlimited freedom has been extended to Ger man prisoners or German detention ists should be considerably 'curtail- ed.
 This view Is not however anything but far-fetched and the leading morning paper comes nearer the truth in saying that Okuma is the objective of considerable nationalist discontent owing to the high taxa

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Arrivals from London assert now that during December twelve attempts were made on the English capital with Zeppelins and aeroplanes. All of these were censored by the British government although the mon state that the attempts failed to do any serious damage or cause any loss of life. Two were brought down in the raid.
 These same arrivals allege that there has been ceaseless fighting on the west front, from Arras to the vosges, being particularly serious in the mountains where the French and Germans attacked and counter attacked in spite of the heavy snows.

 It is reported that tho Montene-- grfns were very short of ammunf- tiop and had no guns capable of coping with the guns on board the Austrian squadron.
