cordance with his position;* and in
France many allowances of additional
and special pay are made-for in
stance, the pay is greater in proper
tion to the, number of children the
officer has, and also in proportion to
the number of honors conferred on
him for meritorious service.
In Japan the salaries of $4,000 and
$4,000 a year given to admirals and
vice admirals, and of $4,000 to major
generals, are probably accurate indi-
cations of the different standards of
expense in living in occidental coun-
tries and in Nippon. 1t is interesting
to observe that in the Turkish army
the officer corresponding to our ma
jor general receives $3.50 a year.
This shows that the Turkish cost of
living is much higher than the Jap
anese.

vice admiral in the navy offsets that
of lieutenant general in the army
That rank does not exist in the active
service of the army. In our navy's
active service it exists only tempo
rarily, as in cases like that of Vice
Admiral Sims.
Our rear admirals while in COM
mand Of the Atlantic, Pacific and
Asiatic fleets, hold the rank of ad-
miral and draw salaries Of $4,000 a
year; and the officers next in COM
mand Of their fleets have. the titles
of vice admirals during such service,
with salaries Of $4,000 year.
Generals in Great Britain get
$14,600 year; in France, $5,558; in
Germany, $4,284. Lieutenant gener-
ais in Great Britain get $1O,95O; in
Germany, $3,318; this grade does not
exist in France. Our major generals
get $4,000; while Britain's get $4,000;
Frances $4,000 and Germany's $4,000.
Lest unjustiGed mterences be drawn

LET UTILITY RUN THE FAIRS.

In the preparations for the various state and county
fairs to be held this fall it will be we'll if we all stop and
consider the question of exhibits
Heretofore exhibitors at these fairs have been inspired
by the controlling ambition-to have the best possible
specimen on exhibition frequently regardless of the cost
This year the item of should receive careful at

Such practice should be discouraged this year. No
person should lavish feed and upon any animal with
any other object in view to get bona fide return

be converted into money and that at profit.
For instance, the average hog reaches the maximum

quently any additional weight is procured not only with
out profit but at loss. The holds good in other
lines
The object to be aimed at this year is to that every

Omitted Press Leased WIRE,

BERNE, Switzerland, Feb. IL.
American Ambassador Gerard
expects to sail for the U. s. Feb.
"a, from Barcelona, Spain. On
his arrival here today Gerard said
he expected to remain in Berne
several days before departing for
Spain.
Americans with the diplomatic
and consular party declared today
that while Germany is suffering
greatly from the British "starva-
ton blockade" the nation appar-
emily is far from starvation now.
Every German official, they de-
clared, apparently is resolved to
continue the policy of unlimited
summarizing, come what may.
Tells of German Threat.
Ambassador Gerard began COM
municating at once with President
Wilson at Washington, using code
messages for the first time from
a neutral point.
The message carried details Of
Germany's threat to hold Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents in
Germany as hostages unless the
American ambassador would sign
a treaty practically guaranteeing,
in case of war, that German ships
now in American harbors would
be permitted to leave.
1t was understood that the Ger
man officials delivered an ultima
tum to this effect on Monday
through Count Montgelas, chief of
the American division of the Ger
man foreign office.
Responding, Gerard refused to
negotiate or officially deal with
Germany in any way, declaring he
had been ordered to leave Berlin
and that such orders terminated

men are searching the smoking
ruins of the Kenwood hotel for
the bodies of a dozen persons,
missing since the firse which start
ed about midnight and destroyed
the wooden building.
Mrs. Lucille Squire, 80, was
killed when she jumped from a
third story window, missing the
life net, and striking the pave
ment.
An unidentified man was also
killed by jumping from a window.
Five persons were seen to fall
back into the flames when a ledge
from which they were preparing
to leap gave way.
Twelve guests of the hotel were
taken to the hospital suffering
from burns.
An explosion of gasoline in the
basement is thought to have caus-
ed the fire.
Spectators who arrived before
the department succeeded in res
cuing many from the hotel by pill
ing boxes against the outer walls,
which served as fire escapes for
the lower floor.
1t was estimated today that
there were at least &c persons in
the building when the fire started.
When the first fire company ar
rived 20 minutes late, and without
ladders, the Infatuated spectators
attacked the firemen. Captain Tim
Sullivan was struck over the head
with a club and his scalp cut.
The mob was driven off by
streams of water.
There was only one fire escape
on the building. 1t was attached
to the rear wall and could only be
reached through occupied rooms.
The main stairway had been de-
stroyed by the flames before many
in the hotel had been aroused.
