home Friday, Feb. 11th. at one
o'clock in the afternoon after an ILL
ness of only two days duration, at
the age of 49 years. TIE funeral
was held Sunday afternoon at one
o'clock. The procession formed at
the home and was escorted to the
opera house hall by the Independent
Order of Foresters, of which he was
an old member, Knights of Pythias
and the Modern Woodmen of
America, the services being in charge
of the Foresters. Rev. Robert Law
ton, pastor of the Congregational
church offered prayer and spoke
we'll chosen and comforting words
to the sorrowing ones. Burial was
in the family lot at East Charleston
beside the remains OF his wife, who
passed away in November, 1914. The
orders followed the remains up
Derby street as far as Pleasant
street, where they opened ranks and
the procession passed through on its
sad mission. The floral tributes
from the several orders and from
friends were many and beautiful.
Deceased is survived by. one daugh-
ter and one SON who have the heart
felt sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in being bereft of father and
mother in so short a time. Also

Instead of vulcanizing the glove on the

TURKEY DEFIES RUSSIA.
Foreign Minister Points to Flag In
Roumanian Passes as Answer 10
Talk of Conquest.

Berlin. Dec. 20. The Overseas
News Agency yesterday gave out Tor
publication Constantinople dispatch
containing speech Of the Turkish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, HALL
Bay, before Parliament, dealing with
a recent address made before the Rus
sim Duma, by Prime Minister Trepotf
concerning the agreement between
the Entente Allies with regard to
the disposition of Constantinople af-
ter the war.
"The Russian Minister Trepoff,"
Hall Bey is quoted as having said,
considered it necessary, after the
breakdown of Roumania, to deiude the
downhearted Russian people by hold
ing before their eyes dream of the
conquest of Constantinople. He de-
clared that France and England
agreed with Russia to support Rus
sia's despotism over Constantinople,
ard that the Russian people must
know why they were shedding their
blood.
I'VE have not the habit Of Dragging
We answer the fantastic ideas of Ire
pof with a reality of facts, and we
thank God that he has allowed our
flags to wave victoriously on the Rou-
manian passes-that is, on the short
est road from Russia to Constant
nople. They commenced this war
drunk with ambitious pretense and
pursuing fantastic plans. We fight
and we march on the way Of truth,
and will continue to do so, confding
in the Almighty and supported by
the force of our army and sacrifice
Of our nation. We are ready for peace
but are prepared for war"

House Knocks Out Some of the Re-
concentrations For District of Co.
Iumbia Employees.

Although it is practically assured
that District of Columbia employees
receiving less than $500 year will
be voted a general salary increase,
the House today overturned some Of
the legislative recommendations pre-
sented by the Appropriations Com
mittee in the District appropriation
bill.
At the very outset of the debate
a point Of order was sustained
against the $1,000 increase in the
salary of the three Commits sioners.
In quick succession, points of Or
der were also upheld against legis-
lative riders for the creation of Il
license bureau and changing existing
law rotating to the tax assessors Of
fee.
Congressman Cox of Indiana made
the point of order against the Com
mGssioner's salaries, and Mr.. Mann
knocked out the two Legislative
riders
Following out his policies of raising
points of order against all leglsla-
tive riders in the bill, Nh. Mann eli

NO LET-UP By BRITAIN
Earl Curzon Says. War Will Go on
With Utmost Vigor.

London, Dec. 20--In presenting the
policy OF the Government in the
House of Lords, Earl Curzon, who IS
2 member of the New War Council
said:
The policy of the new Govern
ment is that the war must be con-
Quoted with the utmost prosecution;
that there must be an ample return
FOR all sacrifices; that full reparation
must be made by the enemy for his
countless crimes, and security given
that those crimes will mot be re-
peated and that the sacrifices made
shall not have been in vain.
''The Governments aim is that the
peace of Europe shall be re-estab-
lished on the basis of the free and
independent existence Of nations,
great and small, and that as regards
this country it shall be free from
the menace which the triumph Of
Germany and the German spirit
would entail.
Our answer to Germany's latest
move must be swift and sure. 1t is
not tco much to ask the people 70
take upon themselves for Il few
months the obligations which Ger
many has imposed upon herself. The
nation is fighting for its life and is
entitled to the best and fullest SER
vice of it's sons
Abiding to the position of Rou-
mania, Lord Curzon said that Ger
nlany's success was by no means so
great as she was trying to make ont.
evidence is forthcoming daily of
the deserate straits Of Germany at
home and in the field" he said. The
position of the Central Powers is not
so good as they would have the world
believe. Our attitude should not he
one of desondency or alarm"
Lord Cuzon spoke for an hour and
20 minutes .rand was followed by the
MARQUIS Of Crewe, Lord President OF
the Council in the late Government
,yno annroved in general terms the
policy outlined by his successor
Lord Curzon. touching peace.

WILL GET NO INCREASE LORD GEORGES REPLY
Premier's Speech Yesterday Appeals
to the Great Majority Of the Peo-
pie of Great Britain.

Londor:, Dec. 20.--The allies have
not slammed the door on peace;
thev have simply said to Germany;
Here are our terms; take them or
leave them. 1t is your move-but
don't come again in the role of a vic
tor. J."
This was the universal British view
today, when the public had an oppor-
tunity to digest the full meaning of
Premier Lloyd Georges speech III

was that Lloyd George had furnished
Won Bethmann-H Hollwcg an opportun-
ity to demonstrate his sincerity. II
Germany really desires peace. they
argued, she now knows how to go
about it.
Incidentally, it was remarked here
today how adroitly and strikingly
Lloyd George had destroyed Ger
nlany's illusion that England is dom
mating the policies Of the Entente
nations. The Premier. it was recall
ed. had stated at the outset that Rus
>ia and France. acting independently
and separately. had reached the con-
alusion to which England was now
acccding.
Lloyd-George's plan for universal
national service and civilian mobili-
zaton, molding the nation into an
army behind the army, was popularity
accepted today as though it were the
simplest routine Of peace times.
Not Il complaint. not the slightest
-hought of opposition was manifest.
The press and the man in the street
reflected the universal sentiment.

Lying in three fathoms of water
three miles southwest of ThimIbles
Shoals light, where she struck af-
ter being rammed by the British
tank steamer Telena last week, the
Merchants and Miners steamship
Powhatan was so badly battered by
high seas and wind early yesterday
morning that Captain Chase and his
crew of 81 men. and Capt. ]. J.. Carl
son and his wrecking crew of five.
were taken off by the coast guard
cutter Yamacraw. The storm Mon
day night reached such alarming
heights that wireless calls for as
sistance were sent out by the Pow
hatan. Under the lashing of high
seas the Powhatan sank deeper and
deeper, and tonight she was, about
eight feet further down than be-
fore the storm broke.
