HLTTERACY is
DISGRACE, SAYS
GEN. PERSHING

Sea Girt, N. j., June IT,
General Pershing told national
guard officers and men at
Camp Edwards today that the
illiteracy Of the young man
hood of the country was a dis
grace and he hoped the nation
would never again have to
pass through such an exper-
ienCe with unframed minds
and bodies as it did in the last
war.
The problem Of dealing with
such men, he said, had been a
great burden to officers, and
all means should be taken to
repair these defects in peace
times as a matter of national
preparedness.
He recommended annual
physical surveys of the coun-
try's youth and praised the
new plan OF reorganization of
the army and national guard
as the best expression of mill
tary policy which the country
has ever had. He declared
that the civilian summer train
ing camps for officers were the
best substitutes for universal
military training.

So She o. BE Called
Upon to : Against Am
erica, 81 Chamberlain.

London, , Ie II (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Austen Chamber
lain, government leader in the
house of commons, declared in the
house this afternoon with regard
to the renewal of the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty:
although I do not in any way
wish to prejudge the action of the
imperial conference, 1t is right to
say at once that we shall be no
party to any alliance directed
against America, or under which
we can be called upon to act
Iagainst America"
Mr.. Chamberlain made this
statement during debate on the
Agenda for the forthcoming impe-
ria4 conference.
II think it will be found posi-
ble," he continued, ito reconcile
our desire for a perfect UNDER
standing and close cooperation
with the people Of the United
States and the continuance of our
close and intimate friendship with
an ally who acted so loyalty on the
occasion when the alliance became
operative and rendered such val
liable support to the empire dur
ing the war.
THAT, after all, must be the OBJ
ject of any British cabinet, any
British minister, or any govern
ment of the dominions of India
Surely it must be the object to Sc
cure such confidence, such an un-
dorstanding and such cooperation
among the great Pacific powers as
may prevent that new competitor
in ornaments of which mention
has been made, and to secure the
peace of that great ocean and the
lands abutting upon it."
| Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to the
argument that the conditions
which necessitated the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance had passed away
said he agreed TO this but that II
was necessary to have regard tc
conditions in the future.
| He refused to believe, he said
that the alliance had given rise te
any real misconception Of misap'
prehension in America, except
among people who were misin-
formed, but in any case, he de-
cl4red, there was no reason fol-
such apprehension or to nniscon-
ceive Great Britain's determination
to maintain friendly relations with
her kinsmen.

INTENDED FOR
ERIN, REPORT
Three Federal Agencies Are
Investigating the Owner
ship of Munitions Seized
On Steamer.
tBy The Associated Press,)

New York, June 17,-Assistant
United States Attorney Isaac Gross
tonight asserted that circumstances
surrounding discovery OF nearly
five hundred machine guns aboard
the steamer East Side at Hoboken
Hast Tuesday indicated that they
were intended for use against
friendly nation and that therefore
their presence was unlawful.
Mr.. Gross, by direction of Attor-
ney General Daugherty today as
sumed charge of the investigation
now being conducted by three fed
eral agencies into ownership Of the
munitions aboard the steamer
Reports had reached government
agents that the arms were intended
for delivery in Ireland.
Mr.. Gross said careful investi-
cation would be made of all cir
cumstances connected with the dis
covery and, If the facts warranted,
they would be put before the
proper tribunal.
Besides agents Of the depart
ment of justice, investigators Of
the customs service and shipping
board, owners OF the East Side are
working on the case.
Mr.. Gross said special agents of
the department of justice were
seeking a chief engineer who was
alleged to have come to the East
Side shortly before the munitions
were smuggled aboard and after
refusing to take the ship out dis
appeared.
Mr.. Gross hinted that two as
sistant engineers who appeared
with the chief, would be questioned
when the East side reached Nor
folk, Va, as they were understood
to have sailed with the vessel.
According to Chief Of Police
Hayes Of Hoboken and information
in the hands Of government agents
here, the East Side was scheduled
to stop at Norfolk to load coal for
/ Ireland.
Struggled Aboard at Night.
The excuse was that the boat
was not in proper condition, which
the chief engineer is alleged to
have offered for. not sailing with
his ship, was considered a subter-
fuge by officials of the operat-
ing company. Their suspicious were
aroused and the raid by customs
men followed last Tuesday A re-
port was made to the shipping
board, owners of the vessel, that
it had been definitely established
the arms had been smuggled
aboard at night.
Federal agents also have been in
formed that an engineer officer
who left the vessel when the ma
| rine strike was called had received
an anonymous warning not to re-
turn. This warning was recalled
only after discovery of the arms.

Says He Held Ohio Pub
Usher in Bed While Com
panion Stabbed Him; Is
Held in Buffalo Jail.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Buffalo, N, " June lI.-odlNd-
tore Gala, arrested today at Eden
near here, confessed, according to
District Attorney Guy B. Moore
that he was one of the two men
who killed Daniel Kaber, Lake
wood, publisher, in the summer oi
1913. According to the district
attorney, Gala said that he held
Kaber in bed while Victorio Pisselli,
a companion, stabbed hm.
Mr.. Moore gave out what ne
termed a summary of the essential
facts in Calais alleged confession.
This, in part, was as follows:
Gala said that the subject of the
murder of Mr.. Kaber was first
brought up by Armenia Colavito,
midwife. She told him that Mrs
Kaber wanted to get rid Of her
husband, as she was getting tired
Of him. The midwife told GAIA
that she had tried to kill Kaber by
administering poison to him on
several occasions and had failed.
Mrs. Kaber would pay $4,000 10
him II he would kill Kaber, the
midwife told him.
Agreed To Pay $4,000.
"Cala and Pisselli met Mrs. Ka-
ber several days after this. They
went to the Kaber home and Mrs.
Kaber showed them the room in
which Kaber slept. She told them
that she would let them know when
they were to kill her husband and
also agreed to pay them $4,000.
Several days later Gala was no.
titled to come TO the Kaber home
When he and Pisselli arrived there
they found the front door open
They heard the sound of womens
voices, but saw no one as they
walked into the house and into
the room where Kaber was asleep.
"Cala said that the man was
slightly aroused, but he held him
while the other man cut him up
with a knife.
"They left him dead in bed be-
fore they left the room. The men
left the house without seeing a
person. The door was open for
them and they heard womens
voices when they went out.
Gala did not receive the money
and he thinks the Colavito woman
doubled crossed him. That is the
substance Of his confession"
Following his statement to the
district attorney. Gala was held
pending the arrival of Cleveland
officials.
