kidnapping Plans Urged.
Plans for Kidnapping the progres~,
sives' four million voters showed
some signs OF difficulty today. The
cautious old leaders under the ,di-
rection OF Tom Taggart succeeded
In holding up the plans OF Chair
man McCombs to invite the progress
sives to come to st. Louis at once.
Taggert said ii was far too impor-
tant movement to rush headlong
into without due consideration.
However, the initiatives OF the
Kidnapping scheme are busy lining
up support. Many big men are ar
irving and as fast as they arrive are
being enlisted In the movement.
Among these are Secretary OF Ag-
riculture Houston. who said, "Thc
party has been working out such a
scheme for four years and there is
room In the democratic party for the
progressives.
Homer Cummings has joined the
McCombs plan and Is advocating Inn
mediate action. He advocates only
a general invitation, which does not
include the granting of a hearing.
Trey Woodson, Kentucky nation
al committeeman. has joined the
McCombs forces. "Why not invite
the progressives, said Woodson. 1T
is long call from the republican
platform To what the progressives
stand for. and we come nearer Civ
ing them what they want. Most
progressives would make very good
democrats.
Cato Sells. Texas national COM

and says. I'VE must not forget the
rank and file OF the progressives IL

There Is intense feeling about the
way they were treated at Chicago
There Is nothing attractive In the

SUEz CANAL NOW
OF TEUTON
Mackensen Said to Be Pre-
pairing to Lead an Army OF
100000 Men Against
England's Gate to
the Orient.

- UST as many military experts
predicted many months ago, the
n principal activities Of the war
have been transferred from the
Russian and Flanders fronts to the
Balkan states. The Teutons have
opened the way to Constantinople.
Now come reports that the Suez canal,
Egypt and probably parts Of India will
be the next fields Of their endeavors.
Some reports say that the invading
army will consist Of from 100000 to
800, 600 men and will be led by Cen
eral von Mackensen, the brilliant Ger
man commander. Recent submarine
activities In these waters have caused
many Japanese ships to abandon the
route through the canal, and they are
now making the trip from England to
Japan around the Cape of Good Hope.
A campaign Of Turkish and German
forces against the canal and Egypt
would not be as difficult an enterprise
ias the factors involved would seem to
indicate. according to the opinion held
by military authorities in CONSTANT
lnople. They say that those who assert
that such an undertaking would be

Nitric acid extracted from the air by

The announcement was made by
James b. Duke, who controls the
Southern Power company, owner OF
the plant. which is run by water power.
1t follows recommendation by Brig
adler General CroZier. ordnance chief
in the army. that the nation take steps
along similar lines. so as to be indie
pendent of Chile for nitrate supplies in
the event of war.
The acid will be turned out at a
much cheaper rate than now If sufh-

With that end in view the Quebec De

will hold place in the hearts of Yale
men for all time. He played football
at Yale four years. making the team
in his freshman year, in 1902. He
was captain in 1905 and was the choice
for end on All-America team several
years. He was also star on the Yale
track team as hammer thrower.
Harvard never beat Yale on the grid.
iron the four years Shevlin was in
college, and Princeton gained only one
victory during that period.
After being graduated Shevlin twice
returned to New Haven to pull Yale
football teams out Of difficulties. In
1910, when the Eli eleven seemed hope
less coming up to the Princeton and
Harvard games Shevlin whipped the
team into such shape that it beat
Princeton and tied Harvard. In 1915
he was again called to the rescue. and
Yale showed sensational comeback"
by beating Princeton.
AS an undergraduate Shevlin was
said to have spent more than $4,000
year when in college. While he spent
lavishly for his own needs, he helped
many poor student to pay term bills.
and he did all this anonymously. He
is said to have had about 100000
life insurance and aside from this was
immensely wealthy.

NEW YORK NOW BIGGEST
CITY IN ALL THE WORLD.
London Took Second Place In 1911.
Fact Hidden by elundsr.

New York Is the largest city in the
world. London by reason of losses
occasioned by the war and because Of
gigantic mistake in estimating the
population must now admit that the
American metropolis is the bigger by
about a quarter of million people.
Nor are matters improved, as Lon
doners have imagined, by comparing
the population of Greater London with
that Of Greater New York, for there
again the American metropolis beats
the older city by $4,000.
It is four years now since the last
census Of London was taken, but the
official figures have only just been
made public.
These figures show, among other
things, an astonishing blunder. The
census revealed that there were actual
ly some 100000 within the county of
London (Which means London proper.
but the London county council and
other local authorities had been esti-
mating that the population was $4,000
more, and accordingly all statistics as
to births and deaths have been inaccu-
rate.
The exact number of people in the
county Of London, according to these
1911 figures, is 4,521, 1853, whereas New
York city in 1910 numbered 4,768,SS3.
Counting in extra London" as it is
termed-that is, London outside the
county-the population Of the erstwhile
metropolis Of the world is 7,251,35&
whereas that Of Greater New York, in
GLIDING the Westchester and New Jer-
sey suburbs. was at the last census
7,3s3,S71.
Considering, however, that the latter
count was made in 1914, three years
later than London's most recent emu
meration, the probability is that the
biggest cities of the old and the new
world are now just about neck and
neck,
