Size of Greater New York Is
So Huge It Can Only Be
Expressed IN SuperIatives

In 1917 exports passing out of New
York harbor had a greater volume
than the combined exports of Asia,
Africa and Australia. The imports
coming through it's customs lines ex-
ceeded in value those Of the continents
of South America, Africa and Aus
tralia together.
For such operations as these, writes
William Joseph. Showal:er in Ma.
tional Geographic Magazine, New
York, perforce, must be great me-
tropolis. In population it outranks
any one Of half the nations of the
earth, surpasses that Of the entire con-
tinent of Australia apd matches the
combined strength of the six Western
most states Of the American union.
In annual expenditures it exceeds all
except seven Of the 1fty-odd nations
on the map. Its water system could
supply the whole earth with drinking
water, and it's storage reservoirs hold
enough to Stake civilizations thirst
for more than year. Its electric
transportation lines carry nearly twice
as many passengers in IL months as
all the steam railroads of the United
States. They could give every man,
woman and child living ride every
ten months-so much for the yard.
stick comparison.
It seems unbelievable, but if every
resident whose parents were born In
America were to leave New York its
standing as the second most populous
center in the world would not be af-
fected. In other words, the number Of
immigrants and their children resident
in New York is almost equal to the
combined populations of Paris and
Philadelphia and greater than the
combined populations Of Chicago and
Berlin.
Three people out Of every four in
the great metropolis we're born under
alien flags or are the children of the
foreign born. But who that has
studied the situation can gainsay New
York's Americanism?

Threaten FRANCIS
IN ANARCHIST CASE
Washington lnstructs Ambassa.
dor to Report Developments

Washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary
LANSING has instructed Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd to report to the
state department any developments IN
connection with the threats MADE
against him by anarchists because OF
the conviction of Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman. 1t is be-
lieved he will be allowed to follow any
course he may consider advisable
The department has assumed he has
reported the incident to the Boil
shevik element and may have asked
for protection.
Officials of the department were not
inclined today to regard the am
bassador's situation as serious, be-
ieving that the government author-
ties would take such measures as
necessary to protect him.
Secretary Lansing admitted that
Am hassador Francis had sent to the
state department a message in con-
frrnation Of the press stories from
TetrOgrad about the warning that had
been sent to the ambassador by the
anarchists The secretary said that
the ambassador expressed no ALARM
and he added that nothing would be
done in the matter by the state de-
partment until it had heard further
from Mr.. Francis regarding the
threats.
This is not the first time that
threats have been made against the
safety of Ambassador Francis. Re
Gently, while he was entertaining some
guests, he was warned that a threaten
ing crowd was coming to the embassy
to protest to him against the action
taken in the Mooney case at San
Francisco. He asked his guests to
| leave, and when the crowd surged into
the embassy Mr.. Francis threatened
| them with a revolver, for his own
protection, and warned them through
| an interpreter that they were tres
passing on American territory. The
| intruders finally left without harming

10000 Out in Berlin.

Amsterdam, Jan. 31.-The number
of strikers in Berlin is estimated at
about 120, 900 according to a semi
official statement issued in Berlin yes
terday, when there had been an in
considerable strike since Tuesday.
Both in Berlin and the provinces the
strikes are spreading according to
Wednesdays edition of the Koeleische
Voll6s Zeitung, which reports that rep
resentatives of labor in the various ci-
ties in the industrial region were ex-
pected to meet in Berlin Tuesday.
Agitation for a general strike in
Munich is said to have failed after a
stormy meeting. Newspapers say the
demand of the Fatherland party for
the continuance of the war and the
bad food supply in the towns were the
reasons given for the strike at sew
eral meetings.
The Berlin newspapers, with few
exceptions, have been published. The
streets of the German capital, the
statement adds, show no signs of a
strike. All traffic is proceeding quiet
ly and undisturbed.
The statement says there has been
no disturbances anywhere in the en-
pire.

BRIDGEPORT BETS
ON Minute women
Fair Sex to Assist in Work Of
War Bureau

Hartford Ian. 31-The organization
IF , Home Defense League of Minute
wonoen is the plan which has been
adonted nv the Bridgeport War Bu-
raou for the mobilization of the wom-
on Of ifs city for war work. The IDEA
was conceived by Mrs. H. w. Fleck,
chairman of the woman's committee
in Bridgeport and a member of the
War Bureau there. 1t contemplates
the mobilization of group OF women
who will do any work that the bureau
asks of its Woman's committee. It's
purpose is not to create new organlza-
tons, but to coordinate existing
agencies. The committee on woman
activities of the Connecticut State
Council of Defense has expressed the
belief that the Bridgeport plan might
well be copied by other town CHAIR
men.
In Bridgeport the first work for the
minute women will be to sell Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps and
to assist in establishing agencies for
their sale. A poster squad for this
work has already been established.
The organization of a large corps OF
women to be on the lookout for evil
dences of disloyalty, something in the
order of a large vigilance committee,
is contemplated in the plans.
Companies will be formed in the
Home Defense League Minute Women
with a minimum strength of twenty
five, with a captain at the head OF
each company and a lieutenant whose
business will be to add to the strength
of the company as more women are
needed. The captain of each COM
pany will report to the chairman
Of the woman's committee in the city.
At a preliminary meeting for the
organization Of this work in Bridge
port, Mayor Clifford Wilson, lieuten-
ant-governor Of the state, presided
Judge George w Wheeler, chairman
of the Bridgeport War Bureau, spoke
Other speakers were: Miss Caroline
Ruttz-Rees, chairman of the commit
tee on woman's activities of the state
defense council; William T. Hincks
chairman of Bridgeport War Savings
committee; Mrs. Ernest Thompson
Seton, publicity chairman Of the WON
ans committee, and Mrs. H. w. Fleck
chairman of the Bridgeport woman
committee and originator of the min
ute women idea.

quired to be at work early in the
morning, Governor Marcus H. Hol-

Establishment of the hours of Z a. m.
as the opening hour for certain retail

accustomed to make purchases and
place orders before going to work
Now therefore, [, Marcus II. Ho1-
! comb, governor of the state, hereby
| establish the hour of $50 a. m. in
| place of the hour Of o'clock a. M,
! established in my proclamation of
| January 25th, 1918, (unless a later
| hour be fixed by law or by voluntary
| action) as the opening hour for such
