London, March y (Tuesday)--
Criticism of the continued use of
grain for brewing and mailing was
made in the house of commons to-
day by the Right Hon. Leifchild
Jones and others. John R. Gyms of
the food control bureau in reply said
that, having regard, among other
considerations, for the food situation

Is Ardlnnore i'm the Criminal Making Business?

Upon first thought, every citizen
will cry, "No! A thousand times
no!!Il And yet the careful study
OF a few salient facts will startle,
amaze and humiliate, even the most
optimistic of Ardmore's men and
women. Influences, power and in
tensely subtle, are at work in our
beautiful little city. These influ-
ences are no respectors of persons.
They override and nullify the work
of home, church and public school.
Such tremendous power is theirs
because their realm is the social life
of the community.
1t matters little that the moral
standards of Individual homes are
of the highest; that the dozen OF
more churches are unceasing in
their efforts to raise the commu-
nifty standards; or that public
school is efficient in the dissemina-
ton of knowledge and the building
of strong, noble, manly and woman
ly character.

lated, their taste perverted, their
natural lofty ideal trailed in the
dust and mire of vulgarity and
crime.
Such are the pertinent truths pre-
sented to the audiences which have
been crowding the Methodist
Curch for the past three days to
hear DR.. Theodore Hanson lecture.
DR.. Hanson is superintendent of the
National Welfare Movement and is
conducting a very helpful confer
ence in our city at this time. That
Ardmore does not realize the actual
condition of affairs is evidenced by
the fact that the house is not crowd
ed to overflowing at each service

WHAT DOES AMERICA WANT
Japanese Want to Know Some
Very Vital Things.

Toxic, Feb. 10. - Correspond
ence of The Associated Press. y
Viscount Motono, the foreign min
lister, at meeting of the general
budget committee of the house of
peers today was asked whether
America was attempting to gain
special rights in Russia, such as the
transfer of the peninsula of Kam-
chatka across the Bering sea from
Alaska.
1T is true he said, that Amer
leans are active in Russia, and not
only they, but the Japanese and
English as well. | do not care to
say anything in concrete form now,
except that the transfer of Kam-
chatka is not recognized as fact
by the government"
ViScount Motono said that the
question of Russia's large obliga-
tion to Japan was very important,
as Russia owes some 200,000,000
yen for arms, munitions and other
supplies. AT suitable opportunity,
he added, Japan would take meas
ures in concert with the interested
| powers.

been borne out by actual expert
ence, it was said, inasmuch as the
biggest trees often were found rot
ten at the heart and unfit for use.
In cutting the timbers much smaller
wood also had to be cleared, which
has served to delay progress and to
handicap mill operations because OF
the lessening demand in all private
work.
Members of the Southern Pine
Association were to have appeared
before a senate committee yester-
day, and. according to a prepared
statement issued by the association,
were ready to lay the blame for delay
in wooden shipbuilding on changes
in specifications ordered by the ship
ping board. At the last minute
however the hearing was cancelled

Washington, NNrch 13. - Reduc-

in wooden construction in the
South was authorized today by the
shipping board to expedite con
struction.
John II. Kirby of Houston, Texas,
vice-president of the Southern Pine
Association, has been named to take
a survey of pine forests to deter

able for wooden ships as further
step to increase the output.
Dimensions OF the large flitches
which form the curve OF the ships
frame have been reduced from 32Xl2
inches to 24xl2 Rinches, so that
smaller timber obtainable in the
South can be used.
Under the old specifications few
trees could be found in southern
forests sufficiently large to cut the

BOOK IS OUT

Rio de Janeiro, Tuesday, March

published a green book containing
diplomatic correspondence in the in
ternational affairs of Brazil during
l9l4-1917.
Among the documents are many
concerning the rupture of diplo-

others regarding the proclamation
of a state of war.
Instructions sent to the Brazilian
ambassador in Buenos Aires de-
clared that it was necessary to es-
tablish the political unity and soli-

North and South America, it was
declared, had become the abiding
place of principles and ideals con
stituting the heritage of the mora
civilization of the old world, which
were threatened with extinction by
Germany.

First Visit by Zeppelins Since Octo-

London, March l3.-Three Yep
pelins took part in last nights air
raid on England. One of them
cropped four bombs on Hull.
The other airships flew about
aimlessly over country districts,
dropping bombs, and then proceed
ed back to sea.
One woman died of shock in con-
sequence of the raid.
The Germans have sustained such
heavy losses in Zeppelins that they
have employed them only at infre-
quent intervals in the last year for
raids on England, substituting air
planes. The last previous Zeppelin
raid on England was on October
10, 1917, when "a persons were kill
ed and So wounded. On returning,
the Zeppelin feet was put to rout
by the French, five of the dirigibles
being brought down.

MORE NURSES TO

MRS. WALTER L. HARDY IS
SUES APPEAL IN BEHALF
OF COMMITTEE.

An appeal has been sent out by
the committee on nursing of the
Council of National Defense, to the
training schools throughout the
country, urging them to increase the
number of students in their classes,
because OF war emergency, In
speaking OF this urgent appeal, Mrs.
Walter l.. Hardy, superintendent Of
the Hardy Sanitarium, states:
This appeal brings home to us
these facts: The dearth of trained
nurses in the United States. Their
ranks are being depleted and the
need for volunteers in this branch
of the service is as necessary and

Destruction OF 400 English towns

London, March 13.-Concerning
doubts expressed in some quarters
on the subject of Japanese inter-
vention in Siberia. The Daily Tele-
graph says that Japan is British
ally of IL years standing, and dur
ing all of that time she has, apart
from the services rendered to the
allied cause in the course Of the war,
shown herself an honorable and
trustworthy associate.
The paper continues:
"The overwhelmingly strong in
terest of Japan in this part OF the
world is, OF course, apparent from
glance at the map. Japan is high
ly organized trading nation and is
directly interested in maintenance
of general peace and order in lands
where her economic relations are
close, and which are supremcly i'm
portant to her welfare. That was
fully recognized by Great Britain in
the treaty of 1907.
Whatever the Siberian republic
may turn out to be when we know
anything OF it, we may at least be
sure that Germany reckons upon
dominating it as she reckons upon
dominating all other fragments OF
the shattered Russian empire. Ger
many is at this moment pursuing a
plan of world conquest to which
particular and unmistakable char
acter has been given by the develop
ments of the war in Europe.
"If the triumph of the enemy's
influence is to be guarded against in
the region where Japanese and othtr
allied interests are especially strong
the sooner the business is under
taken the better. There is no sense
or justice in permitting chaos and
. helplessness in Russia to be turned
to the advantage of the enemy if it
can be prevented. If such action
as was taken in Manchuria should
ultimately be the means Of re-estab-
fishing a national authority of con-
, stitutional character in Russia, and
, if it should supply rallying point
for the forces of sanity and order,
; then a priceless benefit would be
; conferred on the Russian people.
"The question at present is one OF
necessary protection of threatened
national interests. In a situation
without parallel, and in which the
ordinary formulae of internationa!
, action are meaningless, the principal
care of allied craftsmanship as a
c whole will be, while allowing itself
{ to be guided by the logic OF events
as they arise, to divest whatever i.
{ done OF any color OF aggressive OF
annexationist intentions"

BIC GUN DUEL CONTINUES
Americans Are Sending Thousands
of Shells Into Enemy Lines-Air-
men on Both Sides Busy and
Many Daring Feats Recorded.

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, March l2.-There
was greater artillery activity by the
Americans on the Toul sector to-
day than at any time since they
took possession there. American
shells have obliterated at least FIVE
groups Of gas projectors which had
been set up by the enemy in prepa-
ration for an attack.
Fires back of the German lines
also were caused and a number OF
explosions were heard.
The American troops on the Toul
sector again raided the German po-
sitions, penetrating to the second
line. No prisoners were captured,
but a number of the enemy were
killed by shell and rifle fire.
Along the Chemin des Danes the
crew OF German raider which fell
at Clamency Monday night was
made prisoner by American soldiers.
The Germans later were turned over
to the French.
Heavy Artillery Fighting.
The sector occupied by American
troops east of Luneville, which was
designated formerly merely as being
in Lorraine, has developed sudden
ly into one of the most active on the
front, from the standpoint of artil-
lery fighting. American artillery
men are hurling thousands OF shells
daily against the German positions,
making it virtually impossible for
the enemy to occupy them. lnvesti-
cation shows that they have. been
virtually abandoned. This is espe-
cially true in the neighborhood OF
certain places northwest and north
east of Badonviller, where it is now
permissible to say the two raids
mentioned as having been carried
out simultaneously took place.
Certain information obtained in
the American sector northwest OF
Toul leads to the conclusion that
the American raid there this morn
ing came at such a time aSto cause
! the Germans to abandon plans OF
their own for raid.
Enemy Uses Mustard Shells.
Normal artillery fighting contin-
ues in this sector, shells falling on
towns on both sides of the line. AT
one place, the Germans used mus
tard shells. A small number Of Am
orleans walked through the gas later
