Ready to Strangle Him.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.--Edmund Won

"A definite campaign Is on foot to
keep the President from keeping the
word he has pledged that war must be
impossible and that nations must be
just" he said. 1T Is not the English
people but she English Government
that is behind the movembert."
Won Mach declared also that British
secret service agents were ready TO
strange him. for his attitude against
British propaganda. He told OF refusing

Physical Valuation a Long Task.

The question as to why processes of
discovering the physical valuation OF
the railways has been so slow was pro-
pounded to Commissioner Clark He ex-
pressed the belief that Mr. McAdoo's
views III regard to the accomplishment
OF the valuation were altogether too
sanguine They would, he thought. re-
quire a long time within which to be
worked out"
Mr.. Clark refused to give a guess As
to when physical valuation could be
completed but said he thought the field
work might De finished within the en-
suing two years. After that the princi-
pal work would consist in keeping the
statistics up to date. He estimated that
the work OF physical valuation would
ultimately cost the Government about
$4,000, 900 and the lines an equivalent
sum.
We'll. ultimately the public will pay
that WHOLE cost?' Senator Poindexter

HONOR Is GIVEN TO ITALY
Pisa and Venice Proved to Have Sent
Explorers to River Niger Four
Hundred Years Ago.

The director of the French school In
Rome, MOnsignor Duchesne, has sent
the president of the Royal Italian Geo
graphical society letter which ac-
companies a brief note, most interest
ing to US, regarding the discovery Of
the narrative of journey in central
Sudan at the time when the republics
Of Pisa and Venice had stipulated
with the sultan of Maghreb for special
treaties in which he conceded to the
Italians the right to pass through GEN.
trail Africa on the Niger.
The letter says:
II write to inform you of an inter-
esting discovery made by Charles de
la Ronciere, curator of prints in the
national library of Paris and author
Of important books on the French
navy. The discovery restores to Italy
the honor Of having visited and de-
scribed the African regions of Tuat
and the Niger four centuries before
the explorations Of Rohlf and Challie,
the first a German and the last
Frenchman."
The account given Of Tuat in 1447
is signed by an italian by the name of
Antonio Malfante and is directed to
the Genoese Giovanni Mariono. He
was the first Christian to penetrate
to that oasis.-Italian American News

Religious Publication Points Out
Strong and Deplorable Contrasts
Existing In Alaska.

The native Alaskan of today Is be-
gent and progressive factor in the life
of the territory. Recently a daugh-
ter of the Hydah tribe made applica-
ton for United States citizenship, and
after examination was pronounced
qualified TO exercise intelligently the
duties of an elector-the first native
woman Of Alaska to receive citizen
ship. Her father is q staunch elder
of the Hydaburg Presbyterian church.
All through southeastern Alaska, ma
tives are taking up homesteads, organ
izing villages upon sound civic princi-
Piles, reading the daily papers, putting
telephones and electric lights into their
hOmes-in a word, are proving the
value of Christian citizenship.
But there is another side to the pic
ture and the contrast between the
unchurched and the Christian Alas
kanS Is distressing. Scores of villages
in the Bristol bay region live where
no Protestant missionary has ever
been, and the one Greek priest who
had ministered to the needs Of LOO
people is now dead. The revolution in
Russia has cut off the support of Rus
sian missions in Alaska, leaving the
spiritual restitution and physical
wretchedness of large numbers Of
these people wholly unrelieved.-The

WORLD AGREEMENT IN SIGHT
for tn. Advancement and Pro-
lection Of Labor.

The commission on international Ia
Dor, sitting at Paris, examined the
articles dealing with the procedure OF
the proposed international conference
body and issued a journal dealing
with the problems OF international in
dustry and employment.
The agreement by the commission
to accept Article " of the British
draft Of measures TO settle the future
status Of international labor marks
the passing over safely OF an Obsta-
Gle which the labor leaders expected
would provoke a bitter contest be-
cause It is the most radical Of the
projects organized labor is seeking to
graft upon the constitution Of the So
ciety Of Nations.
The British draft covers a wide
field, including the following provi-
sionS:
Prevention Of unemployment through
the adoption by tSe different gov
ernments of policy OF distribu-
ton Of orders for public works SO as
to keep the demand for labor at an
approximately uniform level.
The relief Of the unemployed
through a system Of registration and
cooperation between employers in
different lines Of industry to meet fluc-
tuating labor demands.
Opportunities to unemployed young
workers for the continuance of their
education at established centers.
A system of inspection of factories
and workshops to insure the execution
Of labor laws.
The recognition OF the rights Of
workingmen TO combine and the right
of peaceful picketing.
The recognition of the right Of work
ingmen to combine politically, and the
right of trades unions TO participate
In politics.
Working hours to be fixed by lava
In each state, with an international
standard as the minimum.
1t seems to be agreed that the wholly
different wage and money standards
Of the East and West would make the
definite fixing Of conditions as to these
matters impossible.

Work Of Bureau of Standards.

One of the many new undertakings
Of the bureau of standards is an inves-
tgation Of magnetic compasses, in be-
half Of the naval observatory, the joint
army and navy board of specifications,
and the shipping board. The bureau
proposes to develop a standard method
of testing cOmpasses and to prepare
specifications for the purchase of COM
passes by the government. A special
form of magnetometer has been de-
vised for the determination of mag
netic moment and a rotation test for
pivot friction is being developed. The
bureau expects to- t.st several thou
sand compasses in the course of the
present year.

Wall Street ENCOURAGED.

There were many In the Wall street
district who believe that an important
bullish factor was the news which
came from the Henry Frick collieries
that employees, including the miners,
had agreed to accept a cut of % per
cent to 80 per cent in wages in order
10 prevent the closing down of the
mines. 1t was assumed that this &C.
ton indicated the attitude Of many
labor organizations throughout the
country and that reductions would be
accepted with good grace in all the i'm
portant industries.
1t was hoped that this would make
the way smooth for readjustment of
labor conditions without any conflict
with the industrial corporations that
are large employers Of labor.
