THE w. c. T. U. "PREPAREp."

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, like other patriotic wom-
ans societies, has made quick re-
sponse to the country's call. AS an
organization it is in permanent state
Of "preparedness"-its machinery
splendidly equipped for national crises.
Every state and territory is thor
oughly organized. Twenty thousand
local units, aggregating near half q
million women, spring to action at the
touch of the button at national head
quarters.
For 35 years the w. G. T.. q. has
had department Of work among SOL
diers and sailors which has been

Ella H. Thacher, Washington. D. c.,
through her associates in the state and
local unions, already has emergency
plans well under way. These include
welfare work at training camps and
mobilization centers, the supplying of
electric fans and delicacies to army
hospitals, the serving of coffee and
doughnuts or cake and lemonade to

etc. Another department-thato Of gen.
eral relief works ready to extend
its services and. If demand comes, will
issue detailed plans. Both these de-

Red Gross rules.
.'The w. G. 7. U. members who will
most promptly and enthusiastically re-
spond to the official plans for emer-
gency service will be those who for
many years have ardently advocated
international peace" said Mrs. Anna
A. Gordon, national president. "They
believe it is now our duty to suffer-
ing humanity to unite with the nation
in defending the principles of Chris
tian civilization, and thus to answer
patriotism's CALL"
1t goes without saying that the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union will
use all its influence to secure the en-
actment Of a nationwide prohibition
law as a war measure.

FREE FROM SALOON DOMINANCE.

Mr.. Otto F. Thum, first president Of
the Colorado Federation Of Labor, says
that prohibition has strengthened Or
ganized labor in that state, and it is in
better condition than ever before.
'In Denver" said Mr.. Thum, 1--WE
have been for many years trying to get
the boys to build labor temple, but
were always thrown down by sim
lister influence-the saloons. We have
1OS unions In Denver and they meet
in twenty-eight different buildings. The
saloons saw to it that we were not
punched in labor temple. But now
that we are well rid of the saloons
we are able to get together, and in a
very short time we will have a labor
temple to cost about $25,OOO."

 The price alone is enough cause wonder.

 The situation is all the ncomprehensibe of President Sclwab's that the Bethlehem plant is the largest most efficient in the world 50 per cent greater than the famous Krupp works at Essen and his repeated declarations his firm doesn't aim to make any profit guns and ammunition sup why is the price high? Moreover if the Bethlehem plant needs three years deliver the shells when the British firm agrees to deliver them sixteen months where is the boasted preparedness and efficiency American munitions plants?
 The most remarkable thing about it. however is that tremendous consumption of shells by the Allies, the present plans for vigorous prosecution the and continued shell orders placed by the Allies in America.
 Presumably this bid was made with governmental sanction. If that the British govern have elapsed and expects to have big supply of muni tons left its hands And that gives us new angle peace possibilities

It will surprise most Americans to be informed by writer in The Dial Chicago publication, that this is country without conversation"
 Much depends, of course, what the term means. Mere questions and answers, he says, never did make conversation And the plain imputaon is that most of talk is nothing than continuous interrogation. He renforces his position by quoting Samuel Johnsons dctum that questioning is mode of conversation among gentlemen"
 We talk, then, but do not converse Like one of Shakespeares garIuous characters, talk infinite deal of nothing"

EFFORT TO RECORD MILITARY COMMITTEE
 FAILS IN CONGRESS
Trial in Lower House to Com init Committee Against Uni versal Military Training Fails Utterly.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-An effort today to put the House military com mittee on record against universal mil itary training failed, but resulted in the adoption of a resolution declaring that no radical change of military policy should be considered in framing this years army appiopriation bill. While some of the members of Con gress and army officers most active in the movement for universal military training had hoped for action at the present session, most of them now are convinced that the proposed legisla- ton will not get beyond the formative stage by March f. Senator Chamber lain whose universal training bill is in the Senate subcommittee has little confidence that it will come up before adjournment.
 The action of the House committee today, however, will not interfere with work on the Chamberlain bill and its advocates will try to have it perfected as soon as possible and made ready for consideration on the floor of the Senate if opportunity offers. Discus sion at the committee meeting reveal ed considerable sentiment against uni versal training and some members pre- dicted afterwards that even if the Chamberlain bill were to pass the Senate, the committee would not take it up at this session.
 The attitude of the administration toward the Chamberlain resolution and similar measures has not been defined clearly but it is said that the admin istration wishes the Chamberlain bill next session.

DEFEAT OF VILLAAT
 HANDS OF GENERAL
 MURGUIA COMPLETE
Refugees State That at Battle
 of Jimenez 40OO Villaistas Engaged 5000 De Facto
 Troops and Lost.

EL PASO, Jan. 12.-Confrmatfon of the complete defeat of the Villa forces at Jimenez last Friday by General Mur- guias forces and of the capture of large quantities of loot at Terreros. in Western Chihuahua by General Her nandez. was brought to the border from Chihuahua City today by re- fugees.
 The refugees said the Villa defeat at Jimenez and Santa Rosalia by Gen. eral Murguia's forces was a complete rout of the Villa column and followed general engagement between 5000 of the Carranza forces and 4,000 Villa followers instead of a skirmish, as claimed by the Villa partisans here.
 Two hundred wounded Carranza sol diers had been brought to the state capital, the refugees said, and the losses on both sides were declared to be heavy.
 The arrivals at the border said that the de facto forces occupied the town of Parral without resistance as the Villa forces fled before the first Car ranza troop train arrived. Nine can non were recaptured at Terreros, they said, together with eight trains of loot, which had been taken there by Villa Commanders after they evacuated Chi huahua City on November 27. The Villa forces, in command of Julio Acosta, were defeated at Terreros while guarding this cache and large quantity of ammunition, supplies and other military elements were recover ed there.
 The Chihuahua refugees said that al- though the city is calm, a part of the civilian population of the town was ap- parently alarmed over the prospects of another attack by Villa and that there were 500 people at the Mexican Central station to take the train for the border in addition to the 100 who came on the train.
 By way of protection Carranza force numbering approximately 1000 men is stationed at Santa Nsabel, 25 miles southwest Of Chihuahua City. and another force is guarding the wagon road at Satevo, which connects Parral and Chihuahua City. Reports that large Villa force is west Of Santa Ysabel in the vicinity of San Andres have been received in Chi huahua. These reports could not be confirmed because of strict censorship which has been applied by General Murguia, the refugees said.
 General Murguia accompanies his forces into the hcld and takes personal command in each engagement He has made himself very popular with the soldiers and officers alike because of his asgrcsiycncss, the refugees added

WAR SU HMM ARY

While Berlin asserts that infantry engagements are in progress north of the River Ancre in France, the British official communication dis miss the situation in that area by merely reporting the capture of an additional small number of prisoners, apparently as the result of a patrol raid. Berlin credits the British with two attacks in this sector, and adds that the fighting there continues.
 The British have been successful in a raid north of Arras and the French have captured prisoners in a sortie in the Vosgos.
 In the Oituz valley in Moldavia the Austro-Germans continue to ad- vance against the Russians and Ru- manians, while in the SuchitZa valley they repulsed attacks by the Rus sians. Rumanian troops attacked the Austro-Germans in the Kassina val ley and drove them back more than a mile, PetrOgrad says.
 The forces of Field Marshal von Mackensen. while apparently inac- tive around Fokshani, are reported 10 be progressing between Bralia and Galatz. The Russians have been pushed back farther toward the Ser eth and the town of Laburtea has been taken.
 Around Riga. on the northern end of the eastern front, the fighting ap- parently has died down to isolated attacks. Neither Petrograd nor Ser lin in their latest communications records any great activity in this re- zion.
 At sea the entente allies have sui fered additional losses. The sinking of the Italian battleship Regina Mar gherita of 13.000 tons on December F with the loss Of 675 men, Is an nounced officially in Rome. Two hum dred and seventy of the crew escaped.
 A Turkish official report of Janu- ary II says a British cruiser of the Juno type. measuring 5.600 tons. was sunk by Turkish gun fire during an attack or the island Of Kasterlizo in the eastern Mediterranean. This re- port does not refer to the British battleship COrnwallis or the seaplane carrier Ben-My-Cree reported lost by the British admiralty.

REGULATING THE SUN.

In an age that reckons time in hours, but in tions of second. the time-signs come untrustworthy. Sunset for example, has always been looked upon very definite point of time But the question has in England. "When does the sun set?' When it's lower edge touches the horizon, when it is half below the horizon, the moment when it's upper rim disappears? Between the there is difference of four minutes The hour of light ing up and many other practical matters involved
 The British Home Office has settled the and ulated the follows:
 The sunset is now fixed when the suns upper limit reaches the horizon and when the suns center reaches the horizon"
 Presumably the principle applies sunrise. That is the rises at the when the upper edge appears But what about noon? Is it high when the suns center touches the exact center of the sky? The British government ought to settle that point.
