Voluntary enlistments Of Poles in
the armies of the central powers have
unquestionably been very meagre.
Definite figures are naturally IN
obtainable. In the first flush Of
enthusiasm after the opening OF the
Warsaw university some 800 students
are said to have signified their will
ingness to enlist. Their enthusiasm
cooled, however. before the time for
mastering came, and only a few ap-
peared.
Extravagant estimates have been
published Of the number Of soldiers
that the central powers expected to
raise in Poland. The figure has been
put as high as 900, 900 to 400, 200. There
are reasons for believing that the Ger
man military authorities counted on
obtaining roughly two army corps, or
some $4,000 to 100, 900 men.

GERMANS NOT
ALL PLEASED
fRy Associated PrAss.l

Stockholm, Feb. 16.-The proclanna-
ton of the Kingdom Of Poland has not
been received with enthusiasm by all
Germans. as has been discovered by a
correspondents recent visit to Berlin.
There are, in the first place, the ultra
annexationists, who want Germany to
retain those parts Of Poland which IL
now occupies. Another considerable
group opposes any strengthening Of
Polish influence in the affairs of Prus-
STA or Germany. and 10 convinced that
such a strengthening would result
from the erection of a Polish kingdom,
even without the annexation Of any
portion Of the country.
Another objection to the proposed
new kingdom Is q fear held In some
quarters that, no matter how inde-
pendent such q state might be in
theory, and no matter how much II

still be so strongly subject to Russian
influence, either open or secret, that ii
would continually remain an apple Of
discord,t full OF potentialities for future
mischief.
A possible strengthening OF the In
fIuence in Austria Hungary Of the
non -Germanic races is also feared by
some.

the Poles themselves has exasperated

Cathedral Club
Discusses City y
Manager Question

At the meeting of the Cathedral club
which was held in the clubrooms last
evening, the question OF City Manager
was discussed. The chairman of the
meeting, Leo German, who has made a
study OF the question, discussed the city
manager proposition as to its-practic-
ability and efflciency. He compared
plans which are at present in use in
cities which have city managers and
suggested the plan which is being used
in Dayton, o., as being the most eco
nomical, practical. and ef1cient.
Discussions were heard from many
of the members and many who had for
merly been misinformed on the subject
were enlightened. At the close OF the
meeting It was generally conceded by
the members present that the plan of
city manager would be a great aid in
solving the question of city manage
ment.
After the discussion, bachelor
luncheon was served by Messrs. w.
German and W. Coleman. Agood time
was enjoyed by all.

ton for their children, and so far, for
a start, forty-three children have been
found who are eligible for care. These
children are supported by twenty-three
mothers, to whom the day nursery will
be a boon of inestimable value. Miss
Barrett has already taken up her quar-
ters at the nursery, and will be in con-
slant charge there, so the welfare of
the children who are left at the nursery
Is assured.
Articles Needed.
The articles which are still urgently
needed for eQuipping the day nursery
as 1T must be equipped, are these: A
desk suitable for the once; high back
chairs; low rocking chairs: a chest of
drawers; teaspoons; -four sacks; bath
towels; bibs; wash cloths, door mat !;
blocks, picture books and anything
suitable for day nursery; dull scissors,
old magazines, toys, clothesline, clothes
rack, washboard, washtub, serving
trays. Such foods as rice, white ana
graham crackers, oatmeal, Cream of
Wheat, salt, jellies, apples, eggs, etc,
will also be most welcome.
Those who have pushed this worthy
project are earnestly hoping that it
will meet with the cooperation that is
so much needed. and that those who
cannot take donations tomorrow will at
least attend the tea.

ENGLAND'S
ENORMOUS
ESTATES
(Ry Associated Press.l

London, Feb. 16.-The Duke of
Atholl has just died, leaving an es-
tate Of 100000 acres in the Scottish
highlands Of Perthshire. At $40
acres to the square mile, this is over
315 square miles, or about the size OF
those sections in southeast Europe
which desire to be liberated and ma
tionalized." 1t compares also with
some of the Indian reservations in the
western states, but is not as large as
any of the American states. 1t is not
all fertile land, however, but is noun
tain ana valley with the intervening
sections of farm land, towns and viii
lagos, all maintaining the old-time
feudal loyalty to the lord of the manor
Although the United Kingdom has
comparatively small in extent Of terri
tory, it has more Of these vast prop
critics than any country in Europe or
the world, due perhaps to the law and
custom of primogeniture by which
estates are kept intact and pass to the
eldest son. There are 100000 compar-
atively large holdings, running into
the hundreds of acres. and averaging
about 400 acres, whereas the average
holding in France is about 80 acres.
Germany 81 acres, Belgium Is acres.
Italy SO acres, and in continental Eur
ope at large 4s acres. The average
in the United Kingdom is about eight
or ten times that Of other parts OF
Europe, and about three times as
great as the American average.
The very large properties are es-
timated to number about 10000 with
an average Of 1900 acres, and a value
Of 100000 pounds. Then, among
these, there are a comparatively few
Of vast extent, running into the hun
dreds Of thousands of acres, as the
Duke Of Atholl estate. Mr.. Money,
the member Of parliament who is an
authority on land, claims that one
SEVENTEEN part of the population owns
two-thirds Of the entire land. Another
authority estimates that the 100000
larger landlords own ten-elevenths Of
the total area. 4r....
Lord Masham, whose death also was
announced recently was the former
owner Of the Jervaulx estate Of 81, 900
acres, or about IS square miles, part
of which he: disposed Of on the ground
that "35, 900 acres Of English land is
too large a holding to be prudent"
The still more recent death of the
Duke Of Norfolk further reveals the
extent Of big land holdings among the
nobility. He was possessor Of i'm
mensely rich estates, chief among
them that Of Arundel castle. which
dates from the time OF King Alfred,
who mentioned 1t in his will. The late
dukes income from his estates
amounted to about $1,500,000 a year.

MISSIONARIES
BELIEVED SAFE
CBy Associated Press.)

Boston. Feb. is. The American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions has not heard from its work
ers in Turkey for a month, DR.. James
L. Barton, secretary Of the board said,
but he added that no concern was felt
for the safety of the American mis-
sionaries, Of whom there are about 200
in the Turkish field. Eighty Of these
are connected with the American
board.
Conditions In Turkey for our repre-
sentatives were very satisfactory when
we last heard from them-more salts
factory than q month previously" he
said. II might say they were unusual
ly cordial and friendly.
I'VE appreciate that the situation
is a delicate one, but ! believe that
Turkey realizes now as never before
tilas America Is her best friend. This
is the only country that does not want
something from the Turks. They
understand that IL 10 to us they must
the development OF their country.
"If the United States should become
involved In the war Il IL possible
Turkey would declare war upon US.
But in that event do not believe the
Turks would do more than take
possession OF our colleges and mission
buildings. They have already done
this in some places. In my opinion
they would not harm our workers"
