Ready for Trouble.

The authorities expected trouble and
were prepared to meet it. Nearly 300
patrolmen and detectives were station
ed around the building. Police auto
mobiles, equipped with searchlights.
and each carrying two patrolmen,
armed with rifles, patrolled the streets
IN the neighborhood.
Many agents of the Department of
Justice and the secret service mingled
with the crowds, while companies OF
the Home Defense League worked with
the regular police. Three regular army
soldiers were stationed at each of the
doors leading into the hall.
The situation inside the hall was lit
tie less tempestuous. Scattered through
the audience were scores of government
agents and detectives, while stenogra-
pliers took down everything that was
said. In the galleries were many young
men in khaki who expressed their dis
approval Of the speakers by boots and
jeers.
A youthful speaker who bitterly de-
nounced militarism had just assumed a
tragic pose and shouted, Give me lib
erty or give me death!" when an elec-
trio light 'blub hurled from the gallery
struck his hand and exploded with a
loud report. This was followed by a
call from the soldiers for three cheers
for 'arhe Star Spangled Banner" A
moment later another bulb, hurled with
unerring aim. struck the speaker, and
he retired.

u. S. to Send WarShips
For Americans at Beirut

Washington, Feb. 17.-Permission for
the departure Of the American refugees
from Turkey has been given by the
Ottoman government. Ambassador
Elkus, st Constantinopie, advised the
State Department to-day that a Turk
ism authority had expressed the hope
that the Americans would get passage
soon and their departure would IN no
way be interfered with.
American missionaries and citizens
in Syria, Palestine and Turkey are
awaiting transportation at Beirut. The
naval collier Cesar and srmored cruiser
Des Moines are now at Alexandra,
Egypt, loaded with food supplies and
relief stores for delivery In Syria ana
Palestine.
State Department officials said the
question Of Germany's submarine
blockade, which extends into Medlter-
rsneAn waters. would have to be taken
into consideration before the two yes
sells were dispatched TO Beirut Per
mission also must be obtained from the
British and French governments Tor
the vessels to pass through the Aimed
blockade. France already has consent

Ambassador Elkus said the turkish
government had reduced the quarantine
from thirty TO one or two. days, In

Leave Germany as
Americans; Held in
France as Germans
Hartwig Devisen and Wife Are
Taken OF Gerard's Train
for Investigation

Paris, Feb. 17.-Americans arriving
here from Berlin to-day by way Of
Berne and Pontarlier, on the Franco
Swiss frontier, say that Hartwig Devi-
sen and wife, who were residents Of
Lsporte, Ind, some years ago, are being
detained at Pontarlier until their
identity as American citizens can be
established. The Devisens arrived at
Pontarlier Wednesday night.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Devisen were
born in Germany, and Devisen, IL APP
pears, was taken 20 America by his
parents forty years ago, while yet a
youth. Both had American passports
issued by the State Department. Devi-
sen had been manager Of one Of the
branches Of the National Bank Of
Germany in Berlin, and had lived there
for fifteen years.
Il seems that Devisen and his wife
were on the train which took Ambas-
sador Gerard 20 Pontarlier. When the
train arrived there Ambassador Ger
ard, being responsible for the persons
in his party and their luggage, said
that the Devisens were not members Of
his party. They were thea detained by
the authorities.
Ambassador Gerard said to-day that
he had told the French authorities that
Devisen personally was unobjectionable
and expected that This would facili-
tate their proceeding. The case Is a
peculiar one, as the Devisens left Ber-
lin because they were considered Amer
leans, and yet they are not allowed
20 proceed through France because
they are considered Germans.

on National Policies

Washington, Feb. II. - Japanese
statesmen and politicians have fairly
succeeded in removing from politics all
questions relating to diplomacy and
the national defence, according to adj
vices from Toxic received here to-day.

heads Of the three leading political
parties in Japan to discuss the elimina-

politics.
Viscount Miura is urging Japan to
"leave the Chinese Alone and his
voice is being needed in Japan. at is
important" he said, Ito deal effectively
with a certain section Of the Japanese
in China before finding fault with the
Chinese" He charged the former Pre-
mier, Marquis Okuma, with being "too
meddlesome" in China's affairs.
The settlement Of the Chengchiatun
dispute largely in favor Of China is To
garded in japan as a distinct diplo-
matte victory for WI Ting Fan, the

AUSTRIA REsENTS WILSON'S
FAILURE TO RECEIVE ENVOY
Americas "Discourtesy" to TarnowskI
May Force Break

Washington, Feb. III was lnu-
mated to-day that the Austrian govern
ment was offended by the Administra-
TONS treatment Of the new Austrian
Ambassador, Count Adam Tarnowski'
who arrived here at the same time az
the German and Austrian war zone de-
crees. It is possible mat the Vienna
government will SEM formal inquiry
through Charge d'Affaires Zwiedinek,
asking the intentions Of the United
States with regard to the reception Of
Count Tarnowski.
Although President Wilson has no
intention of breaking relations with
Austria until an overt act is committed,
he has delayed receiving the new am
bassador pending the result of the ne
gotiations now under way with Vienna.
The State Department hopes that Aus
tria will withdraw or modify her an
nouncement Of complete participation
in the German campaign.

ConSuls and Residents Due

TURKEY ALLOWS

Bring Out the Mis-
SiOnarieS

Berne. Feb. 1.-THE American Lega-
ton received notice to-day that the
American consuls who were left IN Ger
many when Ambassador Gerard de-
narted will arrive in Switzerland via
SchaFhausen on Tuesday afternoon. IL
is expected that large number OF
American residents in Germany will ar
rive with them.
The American consuls were left be
hind either because the ambassador
was unable TO communicate with them
or because they needed more time IN
which TO settle up their affairs. The
other Americans were unable TO have
their passports vised in time to leave
with the ambassador.
Many Americans are reported TO be
waiting near Singer and Constance for
permission TO cross into Switzerland
It is reported from Schafhausen that
only a few Americans have entered
Switzerland from Germany since AM
bassador Gerard and his party arrived
at Berne. The Swiss and Spanish min
listers at Berlin are said to be giving
every assistance in their power to the
Americans still in Germany.
Considerable financial loss has been
suHered by those Americans who have
already reached Switzerland. One hun
dred marks, which before the war were
worth 125 francs, are now valued at
only SO francs. -
The Germans are reported to have
closed and sealed the American consul

produce the new Encyciopdeoi"
Britannica today.
The war has made it meeha"-
icalIy impossible to publish this
famous work today, even II II
could be written.
One of the reasons why the
Britannica stands out as the
greatest work of its kind is that
the $500 contributors were
chosen regardless Of what ooun-
try they lived in, on the basis
that each man was the best man
in the world to handle the par
ticular subjects. This editorial
feature makes the new Britain
MICA the most universal book OF
reference in existence.
More American experts con-
tributed to this masterworS
than ever contributed to any
other encyclopaedia.
More English authorities as
sisted in it's preparation than IN
that of any English work.
More French experts wrote
for the Britannica than for any
French encyclopaedia.
More German scholars con-
ributed to it than to any Ger
man work.
These facts are some OF the
reasons why the new Britannica
could not be duplicated today.
Today it would be impossible
to organize this great interrla-
tional board of contributors and
obtain from them what they
gave to the Britannica when it
was compiled. Some of them,
indeed. are in the trenches.
Most of the others have direct
interest in the war and could
not write free from strong I'M
conscious. Il not bitter, preJu-
dice. They could not present
national or historical subjects in
a neutral way. Even the Amer
leans, writing upon European
subjects. would find it difficult
to restrain their feeling one way
or the other.
If the Britannica were not
already in existence it could not
be prepared today. The present
edition was written before mems
passions were ahame and their
judgments warped.
Even if it were written and
had only to be put into book
form, this too, would be irnpos-
sible.
The reason why the Britain
MICA STANDS as an uneXdIiiPleu
triumph of bookmaking as it
does of knowledge-collecting
lies in the use of India paper.
India paper-so extraordinarily
thin, so exceptionally strong, so
opaque-makes a volume OF
1000 pages only one inch thick
and as easy to handle as a mag
azine.
The Britannica could not be
printed today on India paper
any more than its contents
could be duplicated. War has
cut off all importation of the
