Is TO BE SENT TO
THE ECAUCASUS NOW

Paris. Thursday, Jan. 22.-The re-
cent announcement Of the imn.!-
nent dispatch of an extensive m Ii
tary expedition to the Caucasus was
an erroneous dedication caused by
tie fact that the British had given
notice of inability to furnish their
quota of troops for the plebisc't,
areas, according to statement
from the foreign office today.
London, Jan. ga statement
issued today on behalf Of Premier
Lloyd George, says there is no truth
in reports that the British war min
inster, Winston Spencer Churchill,
and the general staff, advocated the
sending of troops to the Caucassu
or any other part of Russia.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Fearing the
steamer Sidney o. Neff, $50 tons.

miles off Chicago harbor, was about
to be crushed by the ice pack.
coast guards today appealed to the
navy department to send hydro

Commander Wilson, ip charge OF
the aviation section at Great Lakes
naval training station. reported he
was unable to launch an airshfp
because the flying slip was hiled
with ice and no open water was
available to make the start.
1t would be almost impossible TO
fly out over the lake in the face Of
the northeast blizzard now blowing,
Commander Wilson said.

Paris, Jan. 23.-American Red
Cross workers have established
headquarters within 25 miles of
Petrograd and are preparing to con-
siderably extend the activities of
their organization there. A seri-
GUS situation has arisen in eastern
Finland and necessitates immediate
relief measures in karelia and In
germannland, two small independ-
ent states lying along the shores
of Lake LadOga.
The base of supplies for this work
will be in Viborg and distribution in
the interior will be made by means

of supplies will be necessary to
feed the people. Colonel Edward
E. Ryan of Washington, D. c., is in
charge in the new field.

EXTENSIVE WASTE
AT MUSSEL SHOALS

that the house war expenditures
committee. investigating the Mussel
Shoals nitrate plant, decided today
to end its sessions and take re-
naming testimony about waste, ex-
travagance and labor stacking. by
affidavit.
Enough evidence has been taken
to convince the committee, men.-
bers said. that it never would do to
build war plant according to that
system again. The immediate prob
lem relates to disposition of gov-
ernment properties, costing up
wards of $100.O0O,0O0 and now idle.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Former
President Taft visited the capitol
today and conferred with senator,

to see a number of senators re-

During his visit to the senate
Mr.. Taft addressed briefly reprt-

which had invited him to talk at a
mass-meeting here in behalf of the
treaty. He said he did not believe
a modification on the reservation af-

CUMMINGS IN
.ORY'SATTACK
Edwards Stand on Liquor
Does Not Justify De-
mand by Bryan.

Washington, Jan. %. - Secretary
Daniels today took issue with Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who has stat
ed in public addresses that Chair
man Cummings of the Democratic
national committee either should
disassociate himself from Governor
Edwards of New Jersey, who was
elected on a wet platform, or re-
sign the national committee chair
manship. Mr.. Cummings attended
the governors inaugural dinner. at
which an Edwards presidential
nomination boom was launched,
and in reply to Mr.. Bryan said he
was present only as a neutral
Most Of Platform Good.
Mr.. Daniels said he had read
Governor Edwards platform with
a great deal OF interest and had
found "at least 80 per cent of it,
excellent and agreeing thoroughly
with the best principles Of Demo-
cratic statesmen. Naturally, the
secretary said, he could not agree
with Mr.. Edwards prohibition
question, but this point should not
be allowed to overshadow the great
good in the remainder Of the gov
ernOr's platform.
Il believe" continued the secre-
tary, that Mr.. Cummings acted
with perfect propriety in accepting
an invitation to dinner given to a
Democratic leader. If I were ma
tional chairman l would not hesi-
tate to attend such dinner. Mr..
Cummings undoubtedly would have
accepted if the dinner had been to
Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Palmer, Mr.. Hoo
yer. or any other noted Democrat.
Cummings Was Neutral
Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-Ho-
mer S. Cummings, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, in
a statement last night, declared he
is neutral in regard to aspirants
for the Democratic nomination fol-
president. He said his attendance
at the inaugural dinner given Gov
ernor Edward l. Edwards of New
Jersey Tuesday night at Newark
did not mean he was backing Ed
wards, and that William J. Bryan's
complaints to that effect, made al
Norfolk and Richmond, Va, are
without merit, whether that gov
ernor favored or opposed the adop-
tion of the 18th amendment" Bry-
en- declared Cummings either should
forsake the New Jersey governor,
because of that officials stand
against the dry amendment, or re-
sign from the committee.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Chicago alder
men who voted against employment

Knight Naval Board Holds
Loss Of Ship Bar to Medal

orations, Admiral knight said. Gre
ated a situation where many Off
GERS would have received the high
est award possible, while others,
performing exactly the same type
of duty, would have received no
decoration had they been followed.
Although the board was fully i'm
pressed with the importance Of
duty at sea. Admiral knight stated,
''the difference between the secre-
tary and the board was that the
board was impressed also by the
importance Of other kinds Of seTv-
ice, both afioat and ashore. which
were regarded as fully meeting the
requirements of exceptionally mer-
itorious service
Bagley Not Recommended.
Admiral Knight said. that in the
case of Admiral D. W. Bagley, sec
retary Daniels brother-in-law, no
decoration was recommended for
any circumstances in connection
with the sinking of the destroyer
Jacob Jones, because Commander
Bagley did not engage the enemy.
A navy cross was recommended for
the officer, he said, for good sea-
manship' displayed in taking of
the crew and passengers of the tor
pedoed British steamer Drama.
Commander Bagley was not recon-
mended by his immediate superior,
he said, for any decoration in con-
nection with the sinking of the ia
cob Jones.
Officers whose vessels were tor
pedoed, but who displayed seaman
ship and discipline, succeeded in
saving their ships, earned the d.
S. NJ, Admiral Knight declared.
"The law providing for awards
might not unwisely have made a
distinction between service at sea
and service on shore by providing
different types of award Admiral
knight said.
'In this connection it may be
noted that the board recommended
everyone of the commanding Off
GERS of the battleships which serv-
ed in the war zone for D. S. NJ,
whereas the secretary gave the D.
S. M. to five of these and the navy
cross to the remaining six"
Discussing Secretary Daniels or
der that the board reconsider all
awards and submit a new report,
Admiral Knight said:
1.-THE board will modify its for
mer report as it deems necessary
and, make changes if they are
found desirable. We hope to rem
der report within few weeks" ;"

CHICAGO AIDS
SCHOOL STAFF
Pay Raised s40O to $500 Year. But
1t Isn't Equal Lab0rer's
Wage Yet.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Chicago school
teachers, who yesterday appealed
to the board OF education for a 80
per cent wage increase, will re-
ceive a blanket raise Of $400 to
$500 per year. George P. Arnold,
chairman Of the board. announced
today. Representatives of the teach
ers indicated they would accept the
award as temporary relief, but
would continue their fight to put
teaching on a wage plane at least
equal to that of common laborers.
At present the laborers receive con-
siderably more than highly train
ed teachers, the instructors claim.
They asked a minimum of $1,200
and a maximum Of $500 for the
$685. elementary teachers, with
other classes in proportion.
Pupils Get More Pay.
Jessie U. Walther, instructress of
sub-normal children, who teaches
a class of 20, ranging from boys
simply backward to others who are
feeble minded, threw the hearing
into an uproar when she declared
that two of her feeble-minded pu-
pills, both II years old. boys, had
gone to work at higher salaries
than she received.

: Washington, Jan. 23.-The knight
board 10 unable to agree with Sec
retary Daniels that naval officers
who lost their ships through enemy
submarine action and performed
meritorious service in connection
with such loss should be awarded
high decorations, the senate investi-
eating committee was told today by
Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight,
chairman Of the board.
Below Feats Of Old.
Admiral knight said the cases of
officers who lost their vessels
through submarine attacks. were
not comparable with those of Law
renee or Perry, as Mr.. Daniels said
in his recent letter to Chairman
Page, of the senate naval commit
tee. Lawrence's name was iMmor
tai, the witness declared, because
of the spirit he showed during the
engagement with the enemy, while
Pery's name will ever live in MIS-
tory because of the skill ard dar-
ing he showed in transferring his
flag from his sinking flagship to the
Niagara and then leading his almost
defeated feet to victory.
No Policy Outlined.
Admiral knight said Secretary
Daniels did not furnish the board
with any policy to guide it in max
ing its recommendations and the
board did not ask for one, as the
members did not consider it nee
essary.
The board itself. he added. work
ed out policy based .on the fol-
lowing general principles:
That D. S. Ms be recommended
for the following groups:
Flag officers. including bureau
chiefs, chiefs of staff to flag Off
+, GERS, commander of battleships in
war zone, commanders of battle
ships in home waters, commanders
of mine-layers in the war zone.
Navy crosses: Commanders OF
destroyers operating in the war
zone for two months or more;
commanders of submarines opera
! ting in the war zone; commanders
of submarine chasers operating in
the war zone: commanders of es-
cort craft operating in the war
zone; commanders of transports
who made two or more round trips
through the war zone; aviators, re-
ported as having taken an active
part in offensive operations. over
the enemy's lines. and aides on the
staff Of nag officers.
Commanders Had No Standard.
