PLANNING FOR PILGRIM
PRECAUTIONARY IN 1920
Exposition Costing Two Million is
Expected to be Held i'm BOs-
ton-Want State Help.

BOSTON. Feb. 15.-Mayor Curley
is giving consideration TO a Pilgrim
tercentenary exposition. to cost So
0OO. 200. He already has forward
ed a preliminary sketch of his plans
to Gov. Mccall for inspection.
The mayors intention is to have
the state take up the project, point
ing out that Boston contributes
nearly 40 per cent of all state ex-
penditures and that such an ex-
penditure would be a reasonable
one in view of the national interest
in Boston and eastern Massachu-
sets. which would be aroused if
such an exposition were held in
1920.
The project involves extensive re-
clamation of land off the Calf Past
ure, thereby enabling the $500, 900
old harbor and Strandway improve
ment in South Boston TO be incor-
porated as part of the exposition
and also furnishing what the mayor
characterized as the most beautiful
approach to an exposition imagin-
able.

Admiral Dewey Very
Weak; His Vitality May
Fail at Any Time

Washington, Jan. Is. - Admiral
Dewey's condition was such this morn
ing that his doctors said lie was very
weak and it was feared his once great
vitality might fail at any time.
In bulletin issued this morning by
DR.. A. NJ. Fauntleroy, U. S. N, the
senior surgeon in charge of the ad-
mirars case and DIR. Luther Sheldon,
Jr., U. S. N, who is associated with
him, the admirars condition was
stated as follows:
Admiral Dewey has been suffering
for the past five days from a general
breakdown consequent upon his eighty
years of age. For several days there
was some improvement and at times
it appeared as il he might rally and
succeed in overcoming the depression
of certain organs.
Last night the admiral slept fairly
well, at times he was irrational and
showed evidences of a gradual de-
cline.
This morning he is very weak and
his general condition is such as to
fear that his once great vitality may
fail at any time"
The admiral is being treated at his
home.

DIR. Ni,NALLY ON THE WAR

The Rev. William McNally, former
pastor of the Westminster Presby-
terian Church. writes Philadelphia
newspaper expressing his cordial
sympathy with the peace protest sign
ed by sixty clergymen and laymen
and drawn up by G. w. Pepper.
When the peace-at-any-p price folks
appeal to the Bible for their author
ity against all war, they appeal to
the wrong book. Better get some
other textbook. The Rev. Mr.. Ely
opposes the Pepper protest because
God says Thou shalt not KILL" but
why read the Bible with only one eye
open? After reading it sixty-four
times in the last sixteen years l dare
to assert that it counsels war. even
to determination, and that by the ex-
press command of God Himself.
Nations, like individuals, reap what
they SOW. l pray that this war go on
until the purpose of God in it is full
filed, whatever that may be, and
surely. the overthrow of Prussian
militarism and despotism and the OBJ
liberation of the fiendish Turk. Find
some other book for your peace talk
brethren; the Bible points the other
way, and God is marching on until
Belgium is avenged"
