NATIONAL DEFENSE HE IS NO LONGER TOO PROUD TO FIGHT\u2014UNITED STATES CAN NO LONGER LIVE BY ITSELF ALONE, HE SAYS./ .New York, Jan.27\u2014President Wilson tonight opened his appeal to the country for national defense.He gave warning that his plans for the readjustment of the army must be formulated and carried out without delay and solemnly declared he could not predict that the outlook for the United States would be as bright tomorrow as today.Speaking at a banquet of the Railway Business Association snd the Motion Picture Board of Trade, he sounded the keynote of addresses he will deliver during the next ten days in the Middie West.Mr.Wilson was in a fighting mood throughout his addresses.In a speech delivered carly in the day he declared he always accepted an invitation to fightf Tonight he told the railroad men he was an advocate of peace and had strugled to keep |.the United States at peace, but that he considered the liberty and honor of the nation even more important than peace.\u201cWoe to any man who plays mar- plot or who seeks to make party politics or personal ambition take precedence over candor, honor and unselfish, unpartisan service!\u201d said jhe President in speaking of his defense olan before the railroad men.He declared that the country expects action, this is a year of accounting and that the accounting must be definite on the part of both parties and on the part of every individual who wishés to enjoy the public confidence.\u201cFor my part I hope every man _ in public life will get what's coming to him.\u201d said the President amid laughter and applause.The President a.both banquets and all during his day's visit to New York.was greeted with enthusiasm.During his speech before pearly 1,500 Business men at the Railway banguet, he was frequently interrupted by applause.- Need of Preparedness.The President admitted that in a message to the last Congress he had seid the need for preparedness was not pressing.He declared that he had learned something in the meantime.Mr.Wilson, spoke of men of high character who were clouding the preparedness issue.He declared they were provincial and that the United: States could no longer cut itself off from the rest of the world.The President vigorously defended his Mexican policy.He asserted that to invade Mexico would mean the losing of the confidence of the rest of the Western Hemisphere, He cited the freeing of Cuba as an instance of good done by the United States, \u201cIf we are drawn into the maelstrom which now surges in Europe,\u201d the President declared, \u201cWe shall not be permitted to do the high things we would prefer.\u201d The President defends the contin.ental army plan drawn up by Secretary of War Barrison, and said that he did not care about the details of any plan as long as 600.000 trained men were provided as reserves under the\u2019 Federal Government.He added that the United States will not turn fn the direction of militarism.Outlining why the United States AMERICA'S WEALTH ITS CHIEF MENACE U.8.POWERLESS TO RESIST SERIOUS INVASION, SAYS EXPERT.Washington, Jan.27\u2014The position of the United States in a war-torn world was described to the House Military Committee today by Major.General Leonarl Wood as tike that of \u201ca ship at sea, with typhoon signals coming from many directions.\u201d \u201cWe are living in an era of war,\u201d he said, \u201cand gradually are accumulating most of the troubles of the world.\u201d General Wood, who appeared at the committee's hearings on the army increase bills, repeated in the main the testimony he previously had given before the Senate Military Committee.He said it would take an army of a { million and a half to hold a line from Boston south.Should conditions at the close of the war in Furope invite | attack, he declared, any of the more powerful of the belligerents could land 300,000 men on American soil in less than thirty days.A regular army of 220,000 fully | trained and always under arms, with at least two million reserves behind them.should be provided, he urged, to meet this situation.The United States navy, he classed as fourth in fighting efficiency, and declared it could not maintain control of the sea or defend the coasts.Col.Edwin F.Glenn, chief of staff of the Department of the East, told the Senate Committee that the United States would be practically powerless to resist an invasion of any first-class cnemy.The wealth of the nation, he said, had become its chief menace and would become a greater menace as the needs of potential enemies became greater, He pictured an enemy landing anywhere on the east coast north vof Chesapeake Ba, establishing a line to Erie, Pa., through Washington and Philadelphia and securing the north section of the United States, containing all of the more important ammunition factories of the country.Such an invasion, he said, had been outlined in detail by German war éx- perts.\u201cI am not one of those who believes we are in no danger from Great Britain,\u201d Col.Glenn said.\u201cGreat Britain, with 4,000,000 trained men at the end of the war could make such an attack as successfully as Germany,\u201d should prepare, Mr.Wilson said \u201cWe must protect our rights as a nation and the rights of our citizens in America and outside of it as the consensus of civilized peoples had defined them; must ensure the unembarrassed realization of our political development within our borders, and must protect the peace and political auton omy of the Americans.\u201d GORDON\u2019S LONDON DRY GIN (UNSWEETENED) CORDON\u2019S OLD TOM GIN CORDON°S SLOE CIN CREAT EE INTERFERENCE WITH NEUTRAL MAILS ANGERS NOTE-WRITERS AT WASHINGTON Wilson Pens Another

Bill\u2014Imperial Parliament Is Prorogued \u2014Fighting Occurs On Western \u201cVexatlously inquisitorial,\u201d \u201cunwarranted interference,\u201d and \u201cimpress upon Sir Edward Grey the necessity for prompt action in this matter\u201d are among the terms employed in the protest of the American government to Great Britain about Grest Britain's interference with neutral mails, the text of which has been made public by Washington.The tentative reply of Great Britain's promises \u201cbefore long\u201d to state the result of a consultation that is going on between Great Britain and her allies with respect to the policy to be pursued.Denunciation of the exportation of arms and ammunition to the belligerents in the world war has been voiced in the United States Senate by a dozen Senators\u2014Democrats and Republicans.The debate, which followed upon the presentation to the Senate of a huge petition of the organization of American women for strict neutrality calling for the enactment of embargo legislation, seemed to presage that a vote may be forced upon the embargo resolution now pending before the Foreign Relations Committee.The British Labor Congress while opposing by a large majority the provisions of the Military Service Bill has defeated a proposal that the workingmen should agitate for its repeal.Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade in the British Cabinet has informed parliament that in order to relieve the pressure on shipping and make room in vessels for additional imports of foodstuffs, fuel, munitions and other essentials, restrictions against importation of certain goods will be put into effect by the government.In an address read at the prorogation of parliament until February 15 King George expressed in these words the determination of the Entente Allies to continue the war until victory is achieved: .\u201cWe shall not lay down our arms until we have vindicated the cause which carries with il the future of civilisation.\u201d Considerable fighting has been taking place along the entire French front.Berlin asserts that between 500 and 600 yards of French treaches were stormed by the Germans in the vicinity of Newville ggg that French counter-attacks were without result.In this region, the French assert, the Gerrans were driven from mine craters they had occupied and were repulsed in trying to recapture them; while the British report the progressive occupation by their men of mine craters and German listening posts in the Neuville region.Paris announces also that German trenches in Belgium and to the north of the Aisne have been badly hammered by the French guns and that the Germans suffered serious losses in a fight for a mine crater in the Argonne forest.While considerable fighting has been going on along the Russian front at various places from the regioi of Riga down into East Galicia no important results have been attained by either side.The same is true as to the Austro-Italian front, the Caucasus region and the Balkans.The British report that the Turks have evacuated their trenches on the land side of the Kut-El-Amara defenses to about a mile from the entrenchments occupied by the besieged British force.The report says there is no change in the situation of the British force marching up the Tigris river to the relief of Kut-El-Amara.MILITARY BILL IS LAW.London, January 87\u2014The royal assent the other formalities giving statutory force to the Military Service Bill, the trading with the gnemy bill and the bill prolonging the life of parliament were concluded in the House of Lords today and parliament was prorogued until Feb.15.At the re-asgembling next month after an unusually short recess, the House of Commons, owing to the necessity for financing the war will be engaged almost exclusively for some weeks in financial business.A new war credit vote will be necessary, as the sums already voted will be exhausted before the end of February.It is understood that the budget will be submitted at the earliest possible moment and that it is likely to con- tan drastic new taxation proposals, including probably a scheme for compulsory investment in the war loan of a proportion of the earnings of the community, the aim being thus to reach the greatly enhanced earnings of workers engaged in the manufacture of munitions and other government necessities.i INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONFERENCE.Paris, Jan.87, 5.10 pm~The international parliamentary conference on commerce, founded at Brussels in June, 1914, will meet in Paris ip the rear future.The conference membership will include \u2018only parliamentarians of Allied countries.Ins addition to dealing with general questions, such as the currency, postal tariffs and patents, the conference will discuss measures looking to the prevention of a German industrial and commercial invasion after the war.GENERAL TOWNSHEND'S REPORT.London, Jannary $7\u2014QOeseral Townshend,

Germans in the North Ses, has made £ stirring appeal for a great religious revival in England as a necessary step to victory in the war.In a letter read at the annual convention of the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge, he writes: \u201cSurely Almighty God does not intend this war to be just a hideous fracas or a blood-drunken orgy.There must be a purpose in it; improvement must come out of it.\u201cIn whut direction?France has already shown uw shte way and has risen out of her ruined cities with a revival of religion that is wonderful.Russia hls been welded into a whole, and religion plays a great part.Fingfand still remains to be taken out of the stupor of self-satisfaction and complacency into which her flourishing condition has steeped her.Until she can be otirred out of this condition, until a religions revival takes place, just so long will the war continue.\u201cWhen she can look on the future with bumbler eyes and & prayer on her lige, thon we ean begia to

MAIDEN OF NUREMBERG EMBRACE CERTAIN DEATH.In an ancient tower at Nuremberg a strange figire is shown to visitors, It is called the Eiserne Jungfrav (Iron Maiden) because it looks like a woman dressed in rusty iron.At aboyt the waist are two handles by means of which the front of the figure is opened on hinges, like two doors, from the chin down, leaving the face unseparated.The heavy and massive doors bristle inside with spikes as sharp as daggers, about 30 of which point inward toward the chest and two or which, longer than the others, are fixed inside the face behind the eyes.The Eiserne Jungfrau was an instrument of education reserved for shameless women.When one of these was coridemned to death she was placed inside the figure, and the doors were closed.This forced the spikes into her vital organs and through her es into her brain.Desth was quick or slow, according to the speed with which the doors were closed.The base of the figure is a trapdoor.When the doors were opened and the victim freed from the spikes the * trapdoor was sprung and her body dropped through à deep hole into a torrent that still flows under the castle, A tip of a few pfennigs will have the hole lighted with electric lamps, and the visitor can look dowa and see the dark water, thus com- À h in his | - fe a ie Chalmers MAIL CONTRACT.SEALED TENDERS, addressed to the Postmaster-Generai, will be received

had no family responsibilities to hold them back, should ome forward at once for the longer they held back the longer the strife must continue and victorious peace retarded.To the French-Canadians the call was even stronger for was not the country of their ancestors\u2014 France\u2014fighting for its very existence.Sir Lomer Gouin then went to tell of what the Quebec Province had done in the way of aiding the Mother Country, and the cause of their generous contributions to different patriotic objects.He especially laid stress on the fact that the subscriptions from the obscure and poorer parts of the province had been surprising, and he felt sure that if a committee was formed which would through the efforts of \u2018orators, with a thorough knowledge of the situation, reach the hearts of these people, the ranks of the Canadian expeditionary forces would contain a vast number of \u2018representatives from Quebec province.\u201cThe route the hearts of the people in the_s ry, \u2018who

Premier.He agreed that when the sympathy of the country folk was secured, through straight talks to the lieart : \u2018of the people the reply would be; favorable, Quebec province was differently | populated in comparison to other provinces, and the pedple were not in so close touch with each other by reason of the distance of town and cities from one another and.therefore, the real facts and reasons of the war were probably not forcibly impressed upon many people.With a committee such as proposed.His Honor ex-; pressed the opinion that a great im- | petus would be given recruiting

treal, while from the Covernment side were heard Hon.Messrs.J.E.Caron, Minister of Agriculture, Jules Allard Minister of Crown Lands, W.Mitchell Provincial Treasurer, and Mr.J.E.1 Robert, of Rouville.* In the course of the debate the slipshod methods of the Gouin administration were brought out in à strong con- vineing manner by the members of the Opposition who spoke.It was shown that in colonization, good roads.agriculture, education.forestry and finance the progress made was not at al* i what it was represented in the boasting utterances of the Liberal members of the House.+ Taking up the debate yesterday afternoon Mr.J.O.Morin, of L'Islercriticised the colonization system and said that when farmers in his county applied for lots they were either refused bluntly or told to go and settle in the Abitibi district.He considere! that the Government's policy of col onization was driving young men to the cities.He advocated the appointment of a commission to study the roads system so that the people of the Province might know what they were paving for.and touching on | education affirmed that Governmen* «school inspectors promised aid to municipalities for their schools which promises were not honored by the Government.« Mr.Morin then roused the ange- of the Attorney General when he referred to the ma= cr in which the Bell case in his county had been conducted.Rouses the Premier.Sir Lomer Gouin was on his fees in an instant.\u201cDoes the Hon.member assert that the Attorney General failed in his duty?\u201d he asked.\u201cIs he not satisfied with the judgmeft of the court?\u201d Mr.Morin said that he was satisfied with the judement of the Court but not with the manner in which the sentence was carried out.Continuing.Mr, Morin considered that resporsible members nf the Government should not lend their names to companies, He said that the Minister of Agriculture wae interested in a ¢-mpany in I'Talet with which his name was connected.Hon.Mr.Caron followed and expressed the belief that in ten\u2019 vears time those who settled in Abitibi would be hetter off than thoee in the oider settlements of the DProvizee Turning to the Rell case he read à cony nf a gaol renort which shawed that Bell = served three months, § |The report stated what steps had been (taken by certain inspectors to get rid of the pest nuisance in the lumber districts.\u201cI happened to be in the woods when these men were making their investigations, and they must have known more about the pests that were ton them that the pests that were ia jthe forests.\u201d (Opposition laughter), Loss By Fire.Mr.Camphell here quoted another report showing now the birds had dis- ;agpeared in the woods of the Upper Cttawa District and how through forest fires no less than 500 square miles \u2018had been burned bare and very little done by the Government to master the outbreak.He said that ir the ree ports the Government , while they mentioned the revenue they received ifrom timber, did not mention the tremendous areas they had aliowed to be destroyed by fire, \u201cEither they did not {know or they were asleep,\u201d said Mr.Campbell.Mr.P.Cousineau, Leader of the Opposition\u2014\u2018How many miles did \u2018you say in the Upper Ottawa District had been burned down by fire?\" | Mr.Campbell\u2014\u201cNeariy 500 square miles, and the timber was burned as bare as the floor of this House.\u201d + Continuing Mr, Campbell said that Jevery thousand feet of that timbes heing destroyed was a loss to the Gove ernment of two dollars in dues, and that was the kind of business that the Ge-ernment were doing and they claimed to be wide awake.The Gouin i Government of\u201d this Province was just about as much awake as Rip Van Winkle was in *he Catskill Mountains.Mr.Campbell criticised the report intitled \u201cThe Riches of the Forests of Quebec.\u201d published under the authority of the Department of Lands and i Forests, and said that it contained statements which were either made in ignorance of actual conditions in the forests or statements that were dishonestly made to deceive the people.\u201cSince 1906-07,\" declared Mr.Camptheil, \u201cthis Province has lost more {timber than it did for fifty years ore.ceding that time, and the Guvernment knows it tut, of course, they will not publish it.\u201d : Fire Ranging System.Mr, Campbell next criticised the fire ranging system of the Province and the allowances made for the men who carried out the business of fire ranging.and he said that when the Government was talking of the miracles they had performed they should \u201cremember the untold harm they had done to the {rest districts.i.Hon.M.Allard tank up the defence \u2018of his department saying that the syse tem of protecting the foreets from fires was a good nne, and *< talked of what had been done in the St.Mautice River District.Mr.Campbhel!

officials as * in-.warranted interferences,\u201d and in urgently requesting a prompt reply points out that \u201ca strong léeling is being aroused\u201d in this country by the loss of valuable letters.while foreign banks are refusing to cash American drafts because they have fio assurances that drafts are secure in the mails, _ The United States declares that parcel post articles are entitled to the exemptions of neutral trade, and denies thé right of Great Britain to take neutral mail ships into British juris diction for purposes of search and thea submit to local censorship regulations.It also denies that the British government has any authority over neutral sealed mails on ships which.merely touch dt British ports.With the text of the American note was made public Great Britain's ad interim reply, saying that questions of ptinciple raised by the United States: have made it necessary for Grest Britain to consult her allies before answering finally.and indicating that there will be no unnecessary daisy in the negotiations.The American note is in the form of a memorandum to Ambassador Page: at London instructing him to file a \"formal and vigorous protest.\u201d Te is dated Jan.4th and after citing many instances in which mail was removed from neutral vessels to be taken: to British ports for examination, concludes as follows: Cannot Admit Right.\u201cThe department (State Department) cannot admit the right of British apthorities to seize neutral vessels pWivig directly Between American and neutral Furnpean ports without touching at British ports, te

authorities have no international right to remove the sealed maîlé or to censor them on board ship.Mails on such ships never rightfully come into custody of the Brit- Ish mail service, and that service is entirely without responsibility for their transit or safety.+ \u201cAs a result of British action.strong feeling is being aroused in this country on account of the loss of valuable letters,

Minister, follows: \u201cThe communication which Your Excellency was good enough to make on the tenth instafft regarding the seizure of mails from neutral vessels raised important questions of

allies hefore they can send a reply to your memorandum.They are consulting with the French Government in the first instance and T hope to he in à position before long to state the result of the

relief work in Belgiaim was voiced in the House of Commons today by Sir Charles Henry, who asked Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary Under-Sec- rectary for Foreign Aflairs, whether further supplies of food and other commodities should be sent to Belgium, and upon being assured that further supplies were necessary asked assurances that there was no German control.Stating that more relief was needed, Lord Robert said that as the German government had expressed its intention not to support the Belgian population, the British government believed it to be its duty to facilitate the work of the relief commission but \u201conly as long as that work was carried on under adequate neutral supervision, completely independent of German control and in compliance with conditions laid down from time to time by His Majesty's government.\u201d The parliamentary Under-Secre- tary stated that he was as sure as he could be under the circumstances that the Germans were exercising no control.RECOVERING APTER AN

contained in the speeches of Bir Wilfrid Laurier and Dr.Michael Clark at the outset of the debate on the address, there are indications that a determin.of attemot is being made by a sect of the Opposition if not by the Opposition as à whole, to bring about a general election.Tactics which have heen pursued by the Opposition since the opening of the session show either a decision to force the government to the country or an extraordinary condition of dissent in the party itself.The speeches of Bir Wilfrid Laurier, the member tor Red Deer, and Hon.Frank Oliver were moder- ate-tn tone and indicated an intention not to attack but to offer such ress.onable criticism aa might assist the government in carrying on the business of the country under war conditions.The intention has not been apparent in the speeches of such Liberals as Hon.Dr.Pugsley, E.M.MacDonald, and Mr.Carvell, which abounded in wild assertions involving charges against the government, the Shell Committee and the Davidson Commission, although the report of Sir Charles Davidson has not been presented to the House and his investigation has not been concluded.To what extent these attacks have the countenance and endorsation of the official leader of the Opposition is not known but the- history of the last ten days has shown that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is either in accord with the conduct of his Maritime Lieutenants or is unable to restrain them.The purpose of the attacks made by Messrs.Pugstey, Carvell and Mac- Donald has been obviously to weaken the confidence of the country in the government and two weeks have been consumed in pursuit of this object.It is well known that the central Liberal organization at Ottawa, which is under the direct control of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, has distributed tons of campaign literature during the past year.The whole trend of the liberal conduct since the session opened has been at variance with the statement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier that he \u201cwould never seek to open the gates of office with a bloody key.\u201d The apparent Liberal desire to bring about an election is said to be based upon the belief that the Province of Quebec can be relied upon to rally to the support of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.It is believed, also, that the Liberals rely strongly upon the strength of the foreign vote in the Western Provinces and except that large numbers of men in the expeditionary force in Great Britain and France will be unable to poll their votes under the Soldiers Vote Act of last session, an eventuality which Opposition members believe would be of great advantage to the Liberal cause should a general election be brought about.Burrell's Speech One of the most merciless castigna- tions even heard in the House of Commons was delivered in the course of a two hour speech today by Hon.Martin Burrell Minister of Agriculture.Tts object was Mr.F.B.Carvell Liberal Member for Carleton, known ss the official executioner of the Liberal party.If Mr.Carvell is
