GARDING PREPAREDNESS: HE
STARTS SPEAKING TOMORROW
(By Associated Press. J

New York, Jan. 2S.-President
wilson returned to Washington this
morning. He left message for the
country to prepare for time when
International relations may not be
as bright as today. He frankly ad-
mitted his change of mind on the
Preparedness issue. He discarded his
prepared speech before the Railway
Business Association, and called up
on Americans to insist upon a body
of five hundred thousand trained
citizens as military reserve, immedl-
ately available under danger condi-
tions. His utterances are regarded
as expressing the keynote of his pre-
paredness campaign through the
Middle West, where he is starting
tonight. He also addressed seven
hundred clergymen and the motion
picture board of trade.

tional relations of this country will

THAT INTERNATIONAL CRISIS
MAY soon ARISE
MANY SHIPS CHANGE HANDS

Lohaon' Jan. 2S.-During the
past year over 800 British steamers
nave changed hands and prices have
ranged as widely as from three
pounds per gross ton up to as much
as AZ pounds.
AS an instance of the raniditv
with which values increased the
case OIL the steamer Saint Fillans
may be cited. This boat which was
ouiit In 1900 was purchased for 25.-
ooo pounds in December, and early
IN the following February it was
announced that she had been re-
sold for 41,O0O pounds. She is a
steamer of 1920 tons gross.
Another sensational sale was that

Z'o55 gross tons built in 1908. In
July, 1914, the boat ran ashore and
iears were entertained that she
would become a total wreck. She
was purchased as wreck for the
modest sum of $40 pounds. II wa:
found possible to float the craft and
after repairs had been executed the
snip changed hands last Februar,
ior no less sum than 10000
pounds.

AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS IN
JAPAN NOW BEING URGED

Toxic, Jan. 2S.--A more aggres-
sive campaign against tuberculosis
in Japan is being urged by DR.. Shi-
basaburo Kitazato, one of the lead
ing bacteriologists of the empire.
Through his magazine, the Anti
tuberculosis Quarterly, Dr.. Kitaza-
to calls attention to the fact that a
singular condition in Japan Is the
large number of tuberculosis cases
among the school teachers Of the
country. Among the grammar school
teachers the death rate from tuber-
culosis is "a per ten thousand an
nually. The death rate from tuber-
culosis for the whole country is II
per ten thousand.
The scientist thinks that the high
death rate among the teachers Is one
of the causes of disease among young
men of conscription age which
causes SO much apprehension among
the army authorities. Systematic
efforts are being made in the schools
to strengthen the physique OF the
young men by physical exercise and
by affording ample light and air.
The doctor says that in other coun-
tries when the disease Of the teacher
is diagnosed as tuberculosis he is no
longer permitted to teach and chill
dren showing a predisposition to the
disease are taught in separate class
rooms.
As for the appearance of consump-
ton in districts hitherto spared,
such. for example, as mountainous
regions, DR.. Kitazato blames the
conditions in factories in the cities.
The factory girl, he declares. who
has contracted the malady in the
factory returns to her native village
and infects others. He says that
there are 100000 factory girls in
Japan and that the yearly death rate
is about 5000, of whom 5000 sue
cumb to tuberculosis.
He adds: "Most of the factory girls
live in dormitories. Space is at a
premium in these dormitories, usual
ly about six feet square for three
girls. In many instances two girls
are required to sleep in one bed g.
Then again the girls are usually di-
vided into two shifts. The girls OF
the night shift sleep in the day time
and work at night. The girls of the
day shift return and enter the very
beds just vacated. No opportunity
to air the bedding is given.
DR.. Kitazato expects to start a
special hospital to treat consumption
cases and he believes sanatoriums
will be gradually increased through
out the empire as financial condi-
tions permit. II better methods of
prevention and cure are adopted the

FEARS EXPRESSED

fight has yet appeared. But the un-
official accounts of the capture of
Chocolate Hill and Dublin Hill by
the Dublin Fusiliers and of the from

the Apafarta trenches, are among
the most stirring chapters in Ire
lands military annals. The Tenth
Division represented Ireland, north
and south, though drawn mainly
from the south. The general who or
ganized il is an Irishman, General
Sir Bryan Mahan, first cousin of
Sir Edward Carson. But close as the

DISTRUST OF POLICY OF BRIT.
ISH LABOR IS EXPRESSED
(By Associated Press. }

London, Jan. 2S. Operations
which may have an important bear
ing on the Balkan situation are now
taking place in Albania. The situa-
ton there is somewhat clouded. 1t
appears, however, that the Austrians
and Bulgarians jointly are making
the most of what appears of the
present opportunity to overrun the
country where there is little appar-
cnt opposition. The entente seems to
be placing reliance on Essad Pasha
to hold the Tcutonic forces in check
temporarily. What measures have
been taken to assist him are not APP
parent.
The Greeks are said to be rein

Albanian border Developments re-
garding the Greek government at

| ties in Southern Albania, are bein
closely watched by entente interests,

itself on record for a revision of the

YELLED CRITICISM OF
SECRETARY DANIEL

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Naval
Militia Association met in annual
convention here today, the attend
ance being unusually large. Import
ance attaches to the meeting because
of the known antagonism to Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels and his pol
icy of imposing silence upon naval
officers. While there are few who
think it policy to come out in open
criticism of the secretary, his ad'
ministration is strongly condemned
in several quarters.

SINKING OF YASAKA MARU
HAS NOT CAUSED JAPAN TO
BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE

Toxic, Jan. $50 far as can be
learned. the sinking of the japanese
steamer Yasaka Maru by a subma-
rine in the Mediterranean Sea on
Dec. 81 is not influencing Japan to
take a more aggressive part in the
war, az has been thought in some
foreign countries. AS a matter of
fact the incident has been received
in Japan very calmly and so far as
the newspapers are concerned there
has been practically no expression of
opinion.
Such sentiment as has been pub
icly voiced is confined to two points,
first, the futility of wasting time on
unimportant internal political quar-
rels in the present worlds crisis,
and, second, the necessity on the
part Of Japan's allies to obtain a
stronger command of the seas.
The sinking of the Yasaka Ma
ru," W rote the editor Of the Japan
Times, lis a timely reminder to this
country, which has almost become
oblivious Of the war, being engrossed
in political disputes which are OF
small national concern except for
party purposes. The writer pointed

TONS OF CLOTHING FOR GER
MANS INTERNED IN SIBERIA

Tien-Tsin, Jan. S.-More than
other supplies for Germans interned
in Siberia have been shipped from
Tien- tsin to Vladivostok by the
American Red Cross At the request
of DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, the Ameri-
can minister to China, r. NJ. Burr,
of the faculty of Peiyang University,
located in Tien-tsin, and DR.. Charles
Siler, p h ysical director of the Tien.
tsin Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, have gone to Siberia to assist
in the distribution of supplies.
William Warfield, the special rep
resentative delegated by the Ameri-
can state department to inspect the
prison camps in Siberia. and Frede-
rick A. Sterling, formerly second
secretary Of the American legation
in Peking and now specially assigned
to Petrograd, will also cooperate in
this relief work. John X. Caldwell,
the American consul at Vladivostok,
Is in charge of the distribution of
money for the relief of the interned
Germans in Siberia. and most of the
relief work will be directed from
Vladivostok. The internment camps
and prison camps are chiefly located
far west of Vladivostok, and most of
them are some distance from the
Trans-Siberian railway line. Con-
sequently, the work of distribution
is extremely difficult.
Many of the supplies sent for the
relief of the Germans in Siberia last
winter did not reach the camps un-
| til spring. The Trans-Siberian rail-
way is so congested with supplies for
the army that all other freight is
side-tracked for arms and ammuni-
tion and troop trains.
In addition to clothing. the Amer
ican Red Cross is also sending much
medicine and many medical supplies
of various kinds into Siberia Ty-
phod has been checked largely by the
cold weather, but with the coming
spring a fresh outbreak of the dis
ease is expected and the Red Cross
! is endeavoring to protect the prison
ers against it, DR.. Paul s. Reinsch
the American minister in China, has
made arrangements to get fresh ty-
phoid serum from the United States
army in the Philippines. This will
be forwarded as promptly as posi-
BILE. and 1t is believed that the sup
ply from that source can be kept
fresh even after the rturn of hot
weather.

SPLENDID SERMONS
| Of DR.. FOOKS DRAW
| LARGE CONGREGATIONS

Yesterday morning another large
congregation met at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church to hear DR..
Fooks. He expressed especial pleas
come out on the weekday mornings,
showing what hold the work has
upon so many. The song service in
cluded a solo by Miss higgins, "The
Holy City" beautiful in sentiment
and more so than usual when sung
SO effectively as 1t was.
Following this devotional meeting,
DR.. Fooks spoke upon "The Holy
City" or "Heaven-What 1t Is;
Where 1t Is, and How to Reach 1t. :"
His text was in Rev, 21:13, a de-
scription of the vision that John had
while on the Isle of Patmos. DR..
Fooks said, 81 challenge the world of
! literature, either sacred or profane,
to show any more beautiful word
| pictures than those contained in the
Bible. 1t is filled with vivid, point
! ed description, poetry, history, love
, stories, or any kind of literature you
| may want No man could, in any
measure, describe anything so clear
ly as John does heaven. So many
think of heaven as only an imagina-
tive place; but 1t as real to me as
ia the city of New York or any other
earthly city that my natural eyes
have never beheld.
"John was an exile here on the
Isle of PatmOs, remaining here for
many months and having few per-
sons come during that time. But he
was not alone, for he had as his COM
panion the presence Of Almighty
God, who took him upon a mountain
top and gave him vision Of the
beautiful city. It was architectur-
ally beautiful, symmetrical and per-
feet, builded upon twelve founda-
tions, which seems to be the numer-
al throuhout the Bible, standing for
com mpleteness. The three gates on
either side of the city indicate that
God extends an invitation to His
people from every part Of His foot
stool-no man need be left out. but
all who will come are welcome and
will find the city amply spacious for
no one to be crowded. Some here
have lived in rented houses and done
on Just what we could get, but,
thank God, up there our Father has
a mansion for every one. and even
the poorest will have place OF his
own, especially prepared for him.
