H. B. r. MacfarIand Addresses
0Idesl ..r,a-. .tants-Portrait
of T. W. Noyes Presented.

Proelaiming that citizens OF WASH
ington are highly endowed with civic
Spirit, II. b. +. Macfarland. former
Commissioner. told the Association OF
Oldest Inhabitants at Rauscher's yes.
terday afternoon that those who
charge Capital people with lacking
pride I'm their city are ignorant OF
conditions.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of presenting the association
with a portrait of it's president, Theo-
dore w. Noyes.
I'VE of Washington are sometimes
charged with lack of public spirit and
civic pride" said Mr.. Macfarland. THE
unique conditions of the National
Capital are said to be unfavorable to
civic patriotism, but these statements
are made by those who do not know
the facts. Many of them are strang-
ers to the life of the city, even though
they may be resident here"
Mr.. mcfarland accused this class
with taking no part in civic work
themselves and not knowing what Is
zenship" of residents of Washingto ton,
he said, Is favorable. rather than
otherwise. to strong civic patriotism.
Mr.. Noyes urged citizens to rally to
opDOSe any CHdHBe III tht
form of government. His address
was in response to a talk by Chaplin
Brown, who eulogiZed the work Mr..
Noyes has done in behalf of Wash
ington.
The portrait of the associa tions g
president was painted by r. N. Brook
The acceptance for the association
was made by Vice President Henry L.
Bryan. At the CONCLUSION of the pro-
gram the gathering sang "Auld Lang
Syne."
At short business meeting preced-
ing the presentation the following
were admitted to membership: Alfred
c. Parker, J. F. Hood, Henry B. Ben

PRESIDENT GRAVELY
AWAITING REPORTS
Gives Every Evidence Of Deep
Worry Over Sinking Of the
Persia.

HOT SPRINGS. Jan. 2-There was
every evidence about Hot Springs to-
day that the President is gravelv con-
cerned over the sinking Of the liner
Persia.
Notwithstanding this. however, the
President in accordance with his
scruples regarding Sunday Is doing no
work on the International situation,
and is apparently letting the newest in
cident rest until tomorrow.
The honeymooners spent a quiet day,
and this afternoon went for an automo-
bile ride through the mountains.
Visitors at the springs, as well as the
natives, believe that yesterdays recep-
tion will result in the wearing Off of the
habitual reserve that has characterized
the couple. 1t is expected that in tho
future they will leave and enter the
hote! by the ordinary exits and en-
frances, instead of by the private ones
heretofore used. There is every irdi-
cation that the Presidential couple made
tremendous hit yesterday with the
soft-shirted, vestless. and gallused
mountaineers. who attended the New
Year reception.

nation thus far at hand makes plain that the Persia did
not try to escape and did not first make attack on the
submarine. Il,
In view of statements by Count Won Bernstorf that
no German Turkish submarine has been operating in
the Mediterranean is accepted certain that Austrian
submarine sank the Persia.
NO IMMEDIATE DEMAND.
Officials said that no immediate demand on the CEN
trail powers will be made until further facts obtained
either from American diplomatic and consular Sffcers or
in response to inquiries to the German and Austrian gov
ernments. 1t strongly intmaed that decisive action
would await the return of President Wilson to Washing
ton this week, and consideration of the matter by the
President and his Cabinet.
There is every indication, however, that the course
the United States will take will be similar to that taken
after the sinking of the Arabic while the Lusitania nego
tations and that peremptory demand will be
made the offending government for prompt dSavowal
indemnity and punishment of the submarine commander.
Meanwhile the Lusania and Ancona negotiations,
which progressing to favorable settlement will be
wholly suspended until full reparaton is made for this
latest submarine disaster, and until definite
ances are obtained that there will be further repetition
of illegal submarine attacks.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2-Guards have
been stationed at every entrance to the
State house and a searching investiga-
ton was in progress following the dis
covery Of a dynamite bomb powerful
enough to have killed many persons and
destroyed a large section of the capitol.
Only the failure OF the fuse to burn
prevented an explosion.
The bomb was discovered yesterday by

Relatives Of government employees
turned to the admiralty for aid in the

Marseilles came several messages, IN

chants reported to be aboard the liner

British official circles do not attempt

the first stories from survivors are

LONDON. Jan. 2.-England Is breath

of the full extent of the loss OF life
when the p. & o. liner Persia went
down after getting her death wound
from a torpedo fired from a submarine,
the nationality of which is still un-
known.
With almost equal intensity. the nation
is waiting to see what Americas answer
will be to the wholesale slaughter that

Saved May Number 160.
Officials said the maximum capacity
OF each of the Persia's lifeboats was
sixty. In the quick rush for safety
they believe not more than forty or
fifty persons succeeded in entering
each boat Their estimates place the
number of survivors at over 100.
Among the passengers were many
government employees in the India
service. returning to their duties after
short leaves OF absence in London.
Several had their families with them.
The Persia went down within i've
minutes after she was torpedoed. She
WAS well equipped with lifeboats. Of
hcials assert. Only a wild panic, they
said. or rapid sinking could account
for the fact that only four boats got
away from hir sides with survivors.
Carried No War Materials.
Positive announcement was made by
the ships owners that she carried
neither soldiers nor war materials II
was stated. however, that she was car
rying heavy British mails for the far
