 In New York state the militia received the official promise of cooperation of the New York State Federation of Wo- mems Clubs, which represents 6OO,OOO women. Throughout the country the Militia of Mercy expects to enlist the services of 5,OO0,000 women.
 Among those on the executive coun- ell of the Militia of Mercy are Mrs. Champ Clark, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit ney, Mrs. Robert Lansing. Mrs. Will liam Randolph Hearst, Mrs. James Speyer, Mrs. Isaac Guggenhelm, Mrs. Felix Warburg and Mrs. ogden Goelet.
 The militia took part in combating the infantile paralysis scourge last summer by furnishing three ambu- lances as well as after care for many of the stricken. The Militia of Mercy also was interested in sending comforts to the militiamen on the Mexican bor- der.
 Up on the roof of the Hotel Majestic women volunteers of the Woman's Military Reserve of the United States began their drills. The rockies" are uniformed. At the same time an eIhi- bition drill was given In the armory of the Sixty-ninth regiment by the Ameri- can Woman's League For Self Defense.

SUNS SPOTS VERY LARGE.
One 125,oO0 Miles Across, Naval ob'
 servatory Estimates.

Washington. - It was said at the Naval observatory that exceptionally large spots on the suns surface had been noticed recently. At its maxi mum dimension the largest was esti- mated at 125,000 miles across. One spot in 1851 was 10000 miles across, but they seldom are larger than this.
 The appearance of large sun spots, according to scientists here, generally is followed by magnetic disturbances in the earth's atmosphere. That it has any connection with the weather Is a theory not credited by professors at the observatory.

American bark Christiane. which was
sunk by a German submarine August
guest on board the U-boat. and over

The American captain said he was

ship was sunk. Not being armed. he
surrendered to the U-boat

He kept up an interesting con-
versation while we were eating, and

because We were at war with his
country.
Another thing that appeared TO
worry him were stories he had heard
of sinking of lifeboats by submarines.
I really can't believe those stories.
he said. and so far as I am concerned
no lifeboat will ever meet such a fate
from my ship

PROPOSES TO PURCHASE
THOUSAND "DOGS OF WAR"
Senator Brady Introduces Bill Pro-
viding for the Training of
Animals for Army.

Senator Brady of Idaho has introduced
a bill to purchase one thousand dogs Of
war" literally speaking. to be trained for
the use Of the Army. Among other de-
velopements Of the war we find that great
use has been made of dogs for military
purposes. said Senator Brady" ''It is
said that over ten thousand of these an
iinals are found in the fighting area, some
serving faithfully and well as trench
sentries, some serving as courers carrying
messages from the front to the rear. some
succorfng the wounded and hundreds
watching and assisting in the guarding Of
the hundreds of thousands Of prisoners
behind the lines. Dogs were used to some
extent in the Boer war and had important
duties in the Japanese Russian war. but
the present struggle has seen their use on
large scale for the first time, and no
modern army can be said to be fully ready
for the war without these trained animals.
:. My bill provides for the purchase or
cceptance by gift by the War Department
of one thousand of these animals 1t is
not believed that this number of animals
will cost the government one cent. since
a number of offers have already been re-
ceived from dog clubs and individuals
which will practically fill this quota. The
idea is to have several experts appointed
to train the dogs. probably at some of
the cantonments.

WSCOUNT |SH|| EXPLAINS
PURPOSE OF HIS MISSION
Here Chiefly to Determine How Best
to Cooperate in War,
He Says.

Viscount Ishii. the special japanese
ambassador. through the Associated
Press has issued a statement defining
the purposes of his mission to- the
United States. Members of the mission
noticed at Honolulu. at San Francisco
and finally here in Washington indica-
lions that their coming might be mis-
interpreted by certain elements, and it
was felt necessary to explain that no
commercial or selfish interests were to
be subserved.
The ambassadors statement follows:
The imperial Japanese mission came
to the United States for two reasons:
First. to convey to the President and to
the American people the appreciation
and congratulations of the emperor and
Of the United States into the war as
allies of Japan and the other nations
now waging war against the enemies
of freedom; second. to determine how
best to cooperate with, the United
States in Carrying the war to tri-
umphant conclusion.
Having determined in what manner
Japan can use her resources and
strength to this end. it is the purpose
of the mission to further aid the allied
cause by showing what she can do with
the help and cooperation of the United
states japan is entirely unselfish in
her aim. We are fighting for a common
end and we wish TO aid in the common
efforts
The mission win discuss with the
proper departments of the government
matters concerning shipbuilding ma
terials and necessaries in other lines
with the fullest understanding that the
use Of such materials as well as the
finished products will be for the use of
the allied nations. In the case of the
ships made from stel supplied by the
United States, assurances are to be
given that they will be for allied use
alon and will not be empoyed for
Jananese commercial purposes after the
war. These conferences began today.
