London, Jan. 19--One of the great
est charitable gifts IN the history or
India has just been announced at

of the wealthy native princes. has e1-
ecuted a deed OF trust devoting his en-
tire personal estate to founding an in
st,tut!on for the education Of Indian
women. The property concerned Is
valued at about 100000. In View OF
the much greater purchasing power OF

tionately as a gift o, nearly ten times
the size in England or America.
Dependent members Of the Ma
harats family have already been pro-
yided for by separate funds, and al!
liabilities OF the estate are duly secur-
ed. The scheme IS for a strictly 'pur-
dab" residential institution. where the
girls will be trained and educated on
the best modern principles from the
age of five to eighteen. There VIII Dc

who think their local boards have given

take this matter up with their local

General Logan to government appeal
agents. The attention OF the govern

that they help out the registrant # ne

ut will be seen by study of this

appeal agents stand in the position of
a judge advocate Of the army in that
they not only represent the government
in taking appeals in cases whore 1t IS
thought the registrant has been given

can also represent the registrant where

and also to make such suggestions AMI
impart such information as the case

Government appeal agents will OF

The government appeal agent can

regulations or to advise the registrant
to do 80. but he must be open minded
and not consider himself only prose-

1t is proposed TO get word Of the
American business mems referendum
on the boycott to Germany through the
neutral press in Switzerland, Holland
and the Scandinavian countries. The
fact that American business men are
contemplating a boycott Is expected to
supply German business men food for

the fact also that the United States

The agreement is similar to those
for the same purpose that Germany has
made with other allied governments.
notably with Great Britain. Our
wounded are to be given the same con-
sideratlon, under the Identical terms
and stipulations. that is accorded to
British and other beliigerent hospital
ships. The whole world knows what
that amounts to.
II Is an agreement that sounds well,
but which means nothing. Despite her
pledges to Great Britain, Germany has
repeatedly sunk ships carrying British
wounded the latest outrage OF this
kind having occurred In the Mediter-
ranean only week ago.
The torpedoing Of hospital ships and
the wanton and deliberate bombing OF
French and British hospital bases In
France are acts Of savagery which
have left indelIble stains upon the tat
tered remnants OF Teutonic honor. To
trust Americas wounded to the prom
!ses made In Berlin would be to ex-
pose them to certain death whenever.
in the opinion Of the German govern
ment, It was expedient to break them.
There are no indications that the
United States proposes to show this
degree of faith.

shipworkers Called to Volunteer.

A direct call to workmen not en-
gagged on government work to volun-
teer for a shipyard reserve was made
today by E. N. Hurley. chairman Of
the shipping board, in kilograms to
the shairmen OF the state councils OF
National Defense.
Mr. Hurley hopes to create a reserve
army OF workers OF not less than $780,
900 men, all Of whom are to be skilled
mechanics. Employers are urged to
release men for this work. Mr. Hur-
ley holds that volunteers for the ship
yards contribute as much toward the
success OF the war as enlistments in
the army, and adds that the draft law
leaves this opportunity for voluntary
enlistment open to workmen.
The shipping board seeks trained
riveters, boilermakers. punchers, ma
chinists, blacksmiths, carpenters.
calkers, millwrights and other trained
men.
Requisitioning Of all American sail
ing vessels was forecast when the
board requested the department, OF
commerce to report the location OF
such vessels. Secretary Redfeld re-
piled that 175 sailing vessels with a
cargo carrying capacity OF 425,000 tons
now are within or adjacent to Ameri-
can territorial waters.
There are nearly 500 sailing vessels
of 1000 tons or larger flying the Amer
lean flag, and 1t Is being urged that in
this time OF stress the vessels should
be. taken from private business and
put into the public service. OF the
175 Immediately available, seventy
six are in ballast, ninety are loaded
and nine are undergoing repairs, which
will be finished soon. The other yes
sells are scattered.
