YALE PROFESSOR
 FOR PREPAREDNESS
Scoffs at Ford, Meeting of Manusac- turcrs and Gatherings of Womcn's
 Clubs in His Sunday Sermon.

New Haven, Feb. 2S.-Military preparedness was defended yesterday by Dean Charles +. Brown, of the Yale Divinity school, in a sermon to Yale students. Dean Brown defended the work of the Yale battery and other college organizations which are prepared for possible hostilites
 "Peace can be obtained hy the proper method" he said, (which is not Henry Ford's futile and unprac- ucable manner, nor a congregation of manufacturers at the Waldorf Astoria, nor women's club organiza- tions in pOmpous and impressive masses"
 Peace, according to his view, can come only through educating mems hearts to the principles of peace, longer and more arduous process, but one more prolific in the long run of results. Building navies as peace insurance he opposed, and cited in stances of tho countries possessing large naVics being unable to ward off war, Italy and Germany.
 The policy of the United States to- ward Japan is all wrong. he thinks. We have failed to treat the Japanese as gentlemen, he said Japan has tolerated more from aggressions in the Pacific than we could have en- dured from her, and there is no pos sibility of conflict between the two nations he added.

TO RE-ARREST SIEGEL
 AS HE QUITS PRISON
Former New York Banker Nili Be Charged Under Remaining Indict-
 mcnts. District Attorney Says.

New York, Feb. 2S.--District Attor- ney Swann will fgorWard bench war rants today to District Attorney Wheeler of Monroe county for the ar rest of Henry Siegel, who will be re- leased from the county penitentiary there on March 1. The warrants were signed by Judge Wadhams, in General Sessions and are based on the twelve remaining indictments against Siegel on file in this county. District At tcrney Swann requests that SieSel be held in $25, 900 bali.
 For many weeks the committee of depositors of the Siegel bank have been begging the district attorney to bring Siegel to trial on some of the remaining Indictments. Inasmuch as Siegel obtained a change of venue on the indictment on which he was tried in Monroe county, 1t is a matter of doubt whether the remaining indlct- ments also were not automatically shifted to that county.

 New Britain people will realize that this is one more link in the won- derful chain of evidence proving that Ninol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic has no equal to create strength.
 MT. Chas. A. Ogle MOnrovia, Md, says:
 'For many years I was a school Cacher, then for three years was Deputy Clerk in Frederick County. Md, and for the last three years 1 have been Cashier of the First Ma tional Bank. My nerves got in such a bad condition, and with poor as similatiOn of food, I was fast becOTn ing a physical and mental wreck. Seeing an advertisement for Vinal 1 purchased a bottle, and found 1t to be exactly what I needed. It has not only benefited my nerves, but built me up both mentally and physically and I want to recommend it to any one suffering as I did"
 Try bottle of Vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be r3turned if it does not help you. The Clark x Brainerd Co.,, Riker-Hege- men Co.,, Druggists New Britain, Conn.

CANADA ACCUSED;
 MAY BE WITHDRAWN
U. s. Consul in Vera Cruz Named
 in Political Scandal

Guadala jara, Mexico, Feb. 2S.-- There are strong indications that the recall of William w. Canada, tho American consul at Vera Cruz, will be asked for by the constitutionaIist government MT. Canada has been consul for more than eighteen years
 It is charged by the de facto gov crnment that he has tried to force intervention by supplying misleading and false information to the United States.
 It is known that Canada has been a warm friend of Felix Diaz and the charge has been made that the Felcistas. taking advantage of this. have used the consul as a medium to attack the Carranza government. What is alleged to be proof of the co1npIicity of Canada with inc s11p- porters of Diaz was obtained by the capture of Mrs Andrea Rodrieuez, who is said to have been in the pay of Canada to secure information Mrs. Rodriguez and her assistants it is said, made verbal and written re- ports to Canada. When arrested Mrs Rodriguez said she was acting under the direct instructions of Canada and had been instructed to gather all the information possible that could be used against the constitutionalists and that might be of value to the Felicis- tas. Canada's strong personal friend ship for Senor Dehesa, governor of the state of Vera Cruz under Presi- dent PorfiriO Diaz, is well known in this city.
 EriTfinr,
 The activities of Canada against CarranZa took on new strength upon the arrival of Special Agent John R. Silliman, who was sent by the United States government to be near Car ranza. Friction developed between the two, Canada objecting to Silli- mans being placed over his official head. Upon many occasions Canada charged that the governor of the state of Vera Cruz, Candida Aguilar, had mined the consulate with dyna- mite and that the consulate would be blown up in order to kill him. His continued statements that the Car ranza officials had ordered his eXecu- ton were not taken seriously.
 In view of the strained relations tain of the European powers the fact that the American vice consul at Vera Cruz is a German-he hardly speaks English-has caused comment among a great many of the Amerl- cans who have business to transact at the consulate.
