RUSIIA TRIES FOR NEW
WAR LOAN IN JAPAN
(By United Press

10y = OllleC fTeSS)
Toxic, Feb. (By maiD-Because
the japanese bankers have made the
unusual demand that they be given
security, Japan may have to refuse
the request of her ally, Russia, for a
new loan of s1OO,OOO,oOO. Should ia
pan make this loan, it would be the
largest ever floated in this country.
Russia proposed the issue to the
Japanese government, which ac-
luainted the bankers with Russia s
overtures. AS Russia intended spend
ing the money for munitions and
other products purchased in this coun-
try, the proposition met with the ap-
proval of the government.
Japan has the money to make the
loan and its success seemed assured
until the Toxic bankers made their
demand for security. In view of her
position as a first class power and a
friend bound in alliance with Japan
Russia believes such guarantee un-
necessary and beneath her dignity
Japanese financiers take the attitude.
however, that, considering the large
amounts Russia has already borrowed
here and the magnitude of her latest
proposal, some form of security
should be offered.

Palace Theatre Thursday.

THE Crisis" a powerful American
photo-war-drama, based on Winston
Churchill's novel of the same name,
will be shown.
"The Crisis" was made by William
\. Selig, recognized as true wizard
of the screen. Mr.. Seiig followed
closely the story of the struggle of
the North and South, as told in
Churchill's world-famous novel, and,
for the first time in the history OF
photoplay construction, staged the
scenes in the exact localities in which
they occurred.
The drama reaches a powerful cli-
max in the Battle of Vicksburg,
fought by land and water forces
around the historic city of the Mis-
sissippi. Mr.. Selig rebuilt the crude
river battle boats of the period, and
reconstructed the sandbag fortifica-
rlons. Veterans of both North and
South who participated in the battle,
and who have seen the film, pro-
nounce the reproduction perfect in
every detail.

JACK BARRY'S ABILITY
is RED SOX'S TES
(By United Press)

Boston, March 3.-Whether Boston
can repeat it's American league cham
pionship again this year depends, it is
admitted, upon whether Jack Barry,
row manager of the, worlds cham
lions, can drive his men to the same
speed attained by Bill Carrigan.
Jack started south today with his
first string men. Battery men and
newspaper men were in the party that
climbed aboard train here for Hot
Springs, Ark, where the team again
will condition itself.
Charles Wagner, Joseph Devine,
Forest Cady and battery men not in
Boston will join the etrain en- route.
The Red Sox present the same solid
front this year as a year ago. The
battery men appear, if anything, to
be slightly stronger than when they
took the championship, and if that's
the case little more could be expect.

first time in the history Of the United

Takes Place of Pensions.
THE PLAN says treasury depart
ment announcement, lis intended 10
take the place of the pension system
SO far as concerns men and women
engaged in the present war. Il is based
upon the fundamental idea that the
government should, as a matter of jus
tice, protect its soldiers and sailors
and their dependent families, and
should do this with due regard for con-
ditions as they exist today.
''Workmen's compensation laws, PEN
sion laws, and the United States and
foreign countries insurance practice,
and other related questions have been
investigated during the preparation OF
the plans. and as a result information
will be presented TO congress which 1t
Is hoped will lead to the enactment
of legislation both just and humane.
"The necessity for such legislation is
admittedly more pressing in this war
than in any other to which the United
States was engaged, because at the
outset tine government has adopted the
,selective draft system. Men are being
picked for service at the front by the
government 4 IL generally admitted
that under such conditions the govern

that payments on account of a soldier
