ner and is t1ibnting materially to
the building up of the war machine
which General Pershing desires to see
running automatically, whether or not
he is present. Since the establishment
of the coordination department it has
removed the necessity for the general
seeing fifteen staff heads daily, and has
cut down his necessary interviews to
about four a day, and has given him
greater liberty in which to plan opera
tions.
This department passes on and has
authority to settle questions from
other departments. An instance of it's
work was shown recently, when the
Quartermaster's department wanted
storage plants with Il capacity of 10000
tons of meat built. The coordination
department figured that the demand
was based on the old army allowance
of twenty ounces of fresh meat daily
for the troops, but did not take into
consideration that smoked meats and
fish could be substituted for fresh
meats on some days. Such proving to be
the case, the coordination department
deciding that storage plants with ca
pacity Of 10000 tons would suffice.

IN France, which was authorized by de-

however, is the moral effect this whole

A dispatch from Paris announcing
the formation of Czech -Slovak army
said it was daily being swelled by the

tries, but would be attached to the

MADRID. Jan. 9.-Another outbreak
has occurred in Portugal. according to
news reaching here from beyond the
frontier Crews of Portuguese war
ships mutinied and began bombarding
the Lisbon forts, it is stated. The
army, i, appears, remained faithful to
the government of DR.. Sidonio Paes
and tranquility has been restored.
The reocllious crews were those on
the battleship Nasco de CANA, the tor
pedo boat destroyer Douro and othet
war vessels. Their surrender is undT-
stood to have marked the conclusion
CT the disturbances.
A revelation occurred in PORTUGAL
early IN December, the government
capitulating to the rebels after three
days fighting, during which seventy
persons were reported killed and be.
tween 800 and 400 wounded. A new
government was formed under DR..
Paes, tho revolutionary leader, and
President Machado of the republic
was banshed
The movement appears to have been
prompted by dissatisfaction with the
alleged ineficiency of the old govern
ment. There had previously been nu-
merous strikes and riots, attributed
largely to food scarcity and high prices,
and any monarchist influence in the
uprising was denied.

most audacious forms prevail to an cx-
tent hitherto unknown, and there is
no police or other authority to which
to appeal.

says and starvation appears to be star
ing the people in the face. The onlv
bread to be had is black. grittv and

along the Delaware. which is skirted by
more shipbuilding yards than any other
river in the country.
Standardization Of wages and piece
work pay throughout the country for
shipbuilders is the aim of the board.

Skipper Arrested
For Rarnlni,1g y. S.
Transport in July
Captain Mowbray in Pam
anna Service Charged With
Neglect in Federal Court

Captain Norman w. Mowbray, mas
Panama, a veteran in the coastwise
trade and regarded as careful navi-
gator, was ar-aigned yesterday before
Judge Thomas in the Federal court on
an indictment charging him with mis-
conduct, inattention to duty and neg
lect of the navigation laws when the
Panama rammed the United States
transport Saratoga of Tpmpkinsville on
July 80, 1912.
The skipper, who is fifty-four years
old. was arrested yesterday soon after
his arrival from Norfolk, where he had
taken a United States naval collier
after run from Cristobal, in the Canal
Zone.
When informed later by the court Of
the charges of the indictment and that
the maximum penalty for the alleged
offence was fine of $4,000 and ten
years in prison, Captain Mowbray was
speechless. He was without counsel
and for the moment was unable to say
anything in his own behalf.
"Your honor" he muttered, "this is
like bolt out of a clear sky. ! have
been taken entirely by surprise and
do not know what TO do or say"
Judge Thomas then remanded him
to the custody of the marshal, instruct
ing that an opportunity be given for
the procuring of counsel and the ar
ranging of bail. Later he was paroled
on his honor TO seek the hail of $1,000
which was imposed by the court.
Captain MowbraX,s previous report
on the collision has convinced his su-
periors in the steamship company that
the fault was "between decks"

tory. Some of them have recently even
gone SO far as to charge that, in their
belief, Argentina might attempt in such
an event to win back the old disputed
territory, formerly part Of the Argen-
tine territory of Missines, which now
forms part of the Brazilian State Of
Santa Catharina.
The United States arbitrated the dis
pute over this territory. awarding it to
Brazil on the ground that the Brazil
ians had populated it and claimed it by
right of colonization, while the early
Spanish and Portuguese left no docu-
ments showing any division of lands
there. This award is said always to
have been sore spot with the Argen-
tines
or late both countries have been at
fever heat on account Of many rumors
of notifications and warlike prepara-
ticns on both sides Of the disputed
line. Travelling through the frontier
country one continually hears such re-
marks as, "Well, we've got to fight
some day and now is the best time"
Argentina's Suspicious
Many Argentines look with suspicion
upon BraZil's preparations to double
her standing army within the next two
crease it to 100000. Argcntines assert
that Brazil does not intend to send
aoldiers to fight in Europe, and argue
that such large force is not needed at
home to keep her German residents in
check. Therefore, they say, Brazil's
preparations are really against Argen-
tina.
Tho bulk of the Brazilian army was
moved into Rio Grande do Sui during
the recent railway strikes and the
troops have been kept there, encamped
along the railroad. 1t has also been
officially announced that, under the
new mobilization and army reorganiza-
tion plans, the greater part of the ca
xalrX will be keut in this state

MEXICO CITY, Jan. e.-The authori-

Guatemala, report that many refugees,
including hundreds of Mexicans.. are
arriving in that state. having fled from
Guatemala on account of the earth
quakes. The town of Tapachula is over
whelmed by panic-stricken crowds. The
authorities have requested help, as no
quarters are available for the destitute
refugees.
The appropriations of $4,000 provided
of Congress for the relief of earth
quake sufferers probably will be used
to care for victims who come into

Nobody believes in victory in Aus

uted to DR.. Franz Markitch in Reuters
correspondence in the English news
papers.
DR.. Marktch, Reuters says, was a
Socialist delegate from Bosnia to the
International Conference at Stockholm.
His outspoken attitude in favor of
peace at Stockholm made it impossible
for him to return to Austria, and he
went to England. He described the
state Of affairs in Austria as insup-
portable.
Conditions in Germany, according to
DR.. Markitch, are not much better, the
chief difference being that in Germany
starvation is organized by the govern
ment. A government report, he says
shows that the men in the German En-
pire have lost an average of eighteen
hounds each during the war
