Daniels WOULD CUT
FLIERS' EXTRA PAY
Asks Congress to Repeal Act Giving
Special Allowance.

Secretary Daniels has asked Con-
gress to repeal legislation granting
extra pay and allowances to naval
iiers. In making this announce
ment last night the Secretary de-
clared such a policy was no longer
justified on the score of extra ha-
Yards. especially in the time of war.
Gen. Pershing holds the same
view with regard to army aviators,
Secretary Daniels said. Recommen-
dation for the repeal of these pro-
visions has been made by Secretary
Baker. the Secretary of the Navy
understands.
Flying does not involve any
greater hardships than those en-
dured by the men serving afioat,
particularly in the zone of hostile
operations, Secretary Daniels said
Investigations had shown. There
are other officers and enlisted men
operating in the face of the enemy
on service that is both more hazard
GUS and more arduous. Increase of
pay is no longer necessary in order
to obtain the requisite personnel.
The Soldiers and Sailors Insur-
ance Act meets the argument that
fiiers can not obtain insurance from
civil insurance companies. the Sec
retary declared. He said army and
navy aviators should be placed on
the same footing.

OPPOSES RELEASING
DRAFT FAMILY MEN
War Department Declares This Plan
Would Undo Much Work.

The War Department will oppose an
effort launched yesterday to release
from the army all drafted soldiers
having dependents, it was understood
last night.
The move TO release these men was
made in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative McKowen, of Oklahoma,
who said the object of the bill was to
correct mistakes made in the hurried
work of the first draft.
The attitude of the army authori-
ties will be similar to that of Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder, who opposed
the attempt to release all drafted men
who had reached the age of 81. Such
a plan would undo much Of the work
of building up an army which has pro-
ceeded almost to completion, 1t Is as
serted.
Many of the dependents Of drafted
men, under the soldiers allowance and
war risk insurance systems, are bet
ter of than If their breadwinners
were not in military service, is one
view.

CHILDISH IDEAS OF GOD.

Eliene turned to me and said, "Chil-
dren work It out better than they
know. We all have chance to
choose. Margie. don't We? and some
of us choose holes; more's the pity.
While we were thinking about II
there rose an awful hubbub in the
school room. Eliene rushed forward
and separated the twins who were
pumelling each other in good shape.
What in the world are you do
lngT' asked Eliene as she held them
apart.
Well" said Budgie. as he
struggled for breath, "Toddy Just
said that Margaret Ann was either
lying or Joking and / told him nc
gentleman ever accused a lady OF
lying or joking and he said Mar
garet Ann was no lady, she was
only a little girl and l said there
was little girl ladies. and he said
little girl ladies your grandmother.
and then hit him."
Il think you are both horrid,'
said Margaret A nm. You know that
God hates a lair but. of course, God
| can take a joke" Eliene looked al
me in CONSERVATION. What would
that child think of next?
We'll, I'll tell you something
that is no joke" she said to the
children. "Budgie and Toddy must
not fight each other no matter how
mad they get and little Margaret
Ann better tell her mother all her
intimate ideas about God and get
her mothers opinion on the SUBJ
tect before she talks much about
it."
There Is nothing very splendid
about what mother tells me Aunt
Eliene." protested Margaret Ann
Il can think up a lot of things that
beat anything she says all 10
pieces"
We'll. you had better use your
thinking cap on your lessons. A
thesis on God will keep until you
are older"

SPAIN DELAYS UPON
SUPPLYING PERSHING

No agreement has yet been reached
with Spain for the supply of blankets.
mules and other materials from that
country for Pershing's army.
Neither the War Trade Board nor
the State Department yesterday was
aware of any conclusion having been
reached in the negotiations which
have been carried on through Ambas-
sador Willard at Madrid. Both de-
partments expressed the belief, how
ever. that the negotiations were pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
Some difficulty, it was indicated, has
been experienced in convincing Spain
of the genuine shortage of the COM
modities in the United States which
Spain is anxious to import.

to direct q propaganda Of fnforma-

to carry on in foreign lands. Mr..
Woods, from 1907 until the present

from 1914 as chief commissioner.
Backed by Mayor Mitchell he
wro ght a great change In the
meth IDS and ideals Of administra-
tion Of the force: and he gave TO II
and to the men who made IL q loftier
conception of the part that educa-
tion, character and specialized train
ing should play in the police arm
of government. In accomplishing
this radical Transformation. Mr.,
Woods disclosed his own unusual
administrative ability. and his tech
nique of getting results without fuss
or friction. Since New York has
decided that II does not want q gov

department, Mr.. Wood is now free
to serve the nation. says the Chris

ward University alumnus. with q
varied experience as school teacher

represents a class of men with un.
usual resources on the cultural and

patriotic motives OF late years have
been turning to politics in its higher
phases. in order that they may jus.
tify their title to loyalty and prove
their spirit of noblesse oblige.

HOROSCOPE
Saturday, February 3, 1915.


Astrologers read this as an unfortu-
nate day. Although Jupiter is in BEN
efic aspect early in the morning, Nep-
tune. Saturn. Uranus and Venus are
all adverse during the hours of busi-
ness activity.
During this configuration there is
likely to be much indecision and de-
preston. 1t is well to keep busy with
routine affairs and to avoid reflection.
AS the planetary conditions for a
number of weeks will be exceedingly
unfavorable to nervous, high-strung
persons the Importance of occupations
that give a chance for unselfish serv-
ice is pointed out.
There is a menacing sign for finance
today. 1t may be recalled that when
the Russian loans were discussed the
seers warned Americans. Now they
see sinister signs that seem to fore
shadow financial panic, or at least
much national anxiety concerning
money.
This is a most unlucky sway for ro-
nance and love affairs, since it en-
courages wooing and sentimentality
that are not sincere.
There is a forbidding aspect for the
aters and places Of amusement, but
out Of this period will come supreme
achievement.
California, Oregon and Washington
are subject to influences that make
for supreme experiences. There is
some menace to the Pacific Coast,
and harbors should be well guarded.
The malign start that appears to
bode i'll for the West is read as hav-
ing a sinister sway over Lower Cali
fornia and part Of Mexico. Plots and
conspiracies are indicated.
Astrologers emphasize the warning
that treachery will flourish in all parts
OF the United States and that spies
will be found near the center Of the
nation.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is may
have rather an anxious year in busi-
ness and they should safeguard both
health and property.
Children born on this day may be
too carefree to succeed. These sub
5ects Of Pisces usually have too many
friends for their own good.
