Their views coincide with that ex-
pressed by English ministers in a dec
laration on THE Significance of the
Hour
The manifesto sets out the follow
ing nine points:
eve believe that the Bible is the
inerrant one and final word of God,
and, therefore, is our only authority
We believe in the Deity of our Lord
Jesus Christ; that He is very God
We believe that our Lords prophetic
word is at this moment finding re-
markable fulfillment, and that it does
indicate the nearness of the close of
this age, and of the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that
the completed Church will be trans
lated to be forever with the Lord We
believe that there will be a gathering
of Israel to her land in unbelief, and
she will be afterward converted by the
appearance of Christ in her behalf
We believe that all human scheme of
reconstruction must be subsidiary tn
the coming of our Lord Jesus ChrisS
because all nations will be subject 10
His rule. We believe that under the
the reign of Christ there will be q
further great effusion of the Holy
| Spirit on all flesh We believe that the
truths embodied in this statement are

that the hour itself is propitious fol-

Reported by Bureau
Vast Increase in Ordnance Provided
For in Proposed Measure Reported
Saturday

WASHINGTON, March 90. - The
equipment of sixteen large plants for
the manufacture of mobile artillery
cannon, and total program calling
for an expenditure of approximately
two billion dollars summarizes the
work of the gun division of the bu-
reau of ordnance, the war department

These plants" the statement says,
ARE well under way and a number
are practically complete"
The memorandum states that the
full capacity of the country for the
manufacture of powder and explos-
ives is utilized and arrangements have
been made for substantially doubling
the output.
Since the beginning of the war the
personnel of the gun division has in
creased from three officers and seven
civilians to approximately 500 Of
ficers and 5000 civilians. BY June
it is estimated there will be 1900 Of
ficers and more than 10000 civilians
in this division.
The major projects of the gun di-
vision have included:
CONSTRUCTION of smokeless powder
plants; expenditure of approximately
$40,000,000 for plant facilities to man
ufacture artillery cannon, with an csti-
mate that $300000,000 will be spent
for cannon alone within two years af-
ter the outbreak of war: negotiations

of toluol from Illuminating gas; con-
servation of the supply of ammonium
nitrate and acids and construction at
government expense of plant for the
fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and
its final conversion into ammonium
nitrate; construction of undertaken.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-To fur
Their conserve the oil supply of the
country the fuel administration is
planning to pool the oil interests of
the west particulrly the Pacific
coast, 1t was learned this afternoon.
This step will be taken in order that
the oil supplies going to non-essential
industries will be diverted for essen
tial war needs and actual necessary
production work
Fuel administration officials point
out that oil today is playing a much
larger part in winning the war than
the ordinary consumer thinks. The
need for oil aboard ship is at all times
a pressing one. 1t has been estimated
that more than 35 per cent of the
ships used for transport and other
naval uses are oil burning vessels.
The leasing of Indian oil lands To
private corporations and individuals
to develop the oil resources of the
country is now under way.

Kimberly Boy Writes of
Service With Canadians

Some time ago Leonard Eden, CT
Kimberly, left home at the age of six
teen years and went to Salt Lake City

Being then too light in weight to en-
ter the American service, he went to
Vancouver, B. c., where he joined the
Canadian forces. Later on in a letter
home he expressed the desire to fight
under the American~flag rather than
under the British. His parents took the
matter up through Governor Alexan-
der, Senator Borah and Congressman
Smith, with the state department, and
q release was secured for him from
the Canadian government. He did not
promptly return and after much worry
mis- parents received the letter pub
lished hereunder which explains where
he is. His parents are now trying TO
have him transferred to the United
States army, since he has gained
enough in weight to permit him to en-
ter. He has two brothers already in
the United States service, also a
brother-in-law, ]. w. White, formerly

Japan Stirred by
Irkutsk Report
Assertion That German Reseryists
Have Taken Siberian City Raises
Intervention Subject.

TOXIC, March 23.-Eighty thousand
Germans, formerly war prisoners of
the Russians, have captured the great
fortified city of Irkutsk, capital of the
province of that name in Siberia, ac-
cording to official dispatches received
here today.
The dispatches gave no details. 1t
is not known whether was any loss of
life
The Germans are organizing a force
OF 100000 men in Siberia, according to
the dispatches. The $4,000 men who
occupied Irkutsk comprised two pick
ed divisions of 10000 men each.
War Minister Oshima, in comment
ing upon the situation in Siberia, de-
clared:
1.-THE supplies at Vladivostok are
safe so far. Japan is investigating
now the activities of the war prison
ers."
The emperor has returned to the
capital and with the arrival of the
elder statesmen what is regarded as
one of the most important councils
ever held will be held.
Irkutsk has a population of more
than $4,000. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant cities in Siberia The prov
ince of which it is the capital contains
rich mines of gold, iron, salt and coal.
The city is on the trans Siberian rail
way. Numerous schools and factories
are located at Irkutsk. 1t was the seat
of the imperial cloth manufactures
for the Siberian troops.
WASHINGTON March 23.-Reports
Af of TIL, oh ~
the Siberian province of that name
| by German prisoners of war now Or
ganized into an offensive force were
received with great interest by offic-
ials here today. Every effort was
made to secure confirmation of this
report from the American ambassa
dor, Roland S. Morris, at Toxic. He
was expected to send forward without
delay the official report received by
the government at Toxic.
In the absence of official WORD
there was no comment here. 1t was ex.
planned that the situation is consider.
ed too delicate for open discussion
The entire Japanese situation is beins
handled by the president personally

speculation would be useless in the
absence of some word from the
white house.
However, officials were greatly in
terested in the possible war develop
ments. If these German war prison
ers actually are organized and sup
piled with munitions, they easily car
become a serious menace to japanese
and Chinese interests in the far east
Butthere was doubt expressed gen
orally in official quarters that sucl
was the case.
1t was felt that while the organiza
ton must be accepted in good faitl
only the immediate developments will
show whether they are enough of
serious menace to cause Japan to re
new her suggestion of a Japanese ex
petition into Siberia.

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 7.-Cottou stood at net advance throughout the session here today and displayed firm undertone, but little business was done and no aggressive trading came from any quarter The main supporting in- fluences were bullish expectations con- corning the census bureau report on ginning due Wednesday morning, the bullish interpretation placed on the lat est utterances from Lloyd George and the continued favorable accounts from the spot market. Opening at the ad- vance, the market gradually worked up to a net gain of 23 to 24 points. Re- sessions pared the gain down materi- ally several times. but the close was s net advance of 12 to 21 points
 Trading was restricted somewhat by the holiday in this market tomorrow, due to observance of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans However, shorts were inclined to cover over the holiday and the bureau report to follow, which added to the firmness of the market.
 Much of the offerings came from sat isfied longs, some of whom liquidated because of uncertainty over private forecasts of ginning. Rumors which reached this market were that the low est private estimate made the output of this last period 252,000 bales, which was rather larger than bullish antici- patton.

COTTON UNSETTLED BUT CLOSED FIRM
Carolina Mills, Which Were Closed Last Week, Opened
 Yesterday-Spots Firm

New York, January While some what unsettled and irregular. the cot ton market made a generally firm show ing today. with the close steady at a net advance of 16 to 90 points. March contracts sold up from so.soc to Sl20c, closing at S11sc, compared with 3.sie at the close of Saturday.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 2s points on buying by houses with Liverpool connections and trade interests. There were moderate re- actions right after the call as the re- suit of further realizing, local pressure and moderate selling by New Orleans. January eased off to 3l.39c, and May to 30.57c. but at this level offerings were absorbed by trade interests, and the mar ket turned firmer on the demand from that source and covering.
 It was reported that the Carolina mills which had closed Friday had reopened for business, and that the water situa- ton in that section had been improved by rains over the weekend. Weather aGvices indicated that the rains predicted for the southwest had failed to material ize. while the forecast was for dry the advance. October was relatively firm, selling up to 29.62c in the late trading, or g points net higher.
 January sold up to 31.66c and May tc 3oS4e with prices closing a few points off from the best under realizing. Ex- ports today were 100 bales, making 2,ls0, 370 so far this season. Latest private returns place ginning to January 1 at lo,- S49 coo bales.

STORMY WEATHER
 HOLDS UP GRAIN
Hog Shipments Light Whic..: Sent Up Provisions 15 to
 42c Over Saturday

Chicago, January 7.-Storm conditions affecting the railroads tended today to uphold the corn market. Prices closed steady at the same as Saturdays fin- ish to hc off. with January N.27i4 and May s.25S. Oats gained 14c to 1sc and provisions 15c to 42c.
 Corn prices hardened a little at times as result of the fact that owing to train blockades, the arrivals of corn here were much smaller than looked for. It was the general belief that a ma terial quickening of the crop movement would not be long delayed, and there were numerous reports that empty cars were being furnished freely to rural ship pers A further handicap to bulls was the knowledge that to comply with the views of the food administration, the Board of Trade directors had refused to disturb the present maximum price limit on future deliveries. Under such circumstances, any decided show of strength was out of the question, but, on the other hand, the market proved stub bern against the least important decline.
 Curtailment Of receipts helped to lift the oats market. Besides falling off In seaboard stocks counted against the bears.
 Provisions advanced because the supply of hogs was much less than had been expected.

Coal Shortage Was
 FOreseen Long Ago
nv HOLLAND


 New York. September 7.--(Special)-As long ago as September. 1917. the railway war board at Washington, now no longer in existence, called attention more than once to the possibility of se- rious shortage of coal in the autumn of last year and the winter of this year. Urgent demands for coal came from many parts of the country, especially from the northwest. Howard Elliott. a member of the railway war board, who was familiar with conditions in New England, urged repeatedly that steps be taken to supply New England with suf- great industrial plants. many of which were occupied in manufacturing muni- tions of war From the south there came less urgent call for coal. partly no doubt because transportation facilities were better there than elsewhere and partly because there are abundant and convenient supplies of coal in the Appa- lachian region.
 In response to these appeals the north- west was to some extent relieved by No vember of anxiety lest there be a short age of coal, but almost nothing was done in the way of preparation for the winter coal supply for New York and New England.
 Had proposition which was made several years ago been accepted, then a freight traffic tunnel between Manhat- tan and the New Jersey shore would by this time have been constructed. The engineers who made tentative ex- aminations reported that the plan was feasible. It had earlier been advocated
