Sayin that she believed his eyes had been opened to the situation in Colorado John D. Rockefeller, Jr., today was urged per sonally to investigate conditions in the mtno fields "while the ashes of Lud low are etill hot," by Mother Jones, aed labor sympathizer. The visit to Colorado was suggested In a typewritten statement which Mother Jones distributed at the hear ing of tiie Industrial Relations Com mission. Explaining that she did not believe Air. Rockefeller understood the scheme of collective barganing. which was augurated by the Colorado Fuel & Iron C'cmpany, Mother Jones denounced it as "hypocritical and dishonest pretense." Prompt Action Wanted. The statement in part was as fol lows: 'Mr. Rockefeller is a very pleasant young man. ite assured me he Is anx lous to help the workers in their strug gle for a chance to live as free men and women, and we are going to give him every chance in the world to show that he means it. Good Intentions are all right as paving blocks, but what we want is performance and we want it now. "I don't believe Mr. Rockefeller un derstands the needs and aspirations of the working people yet. If he did un derstand, and if he is sincere, he would realize that the new scheme for meet ing his men in Colorado Is a sham and a fraud. He is letting the workers elect one representative at each mine, i and these delegates meet with the com pany officials in Denver. They have no organization behind them.

"The great schoolboy hero now is Orlof, from Zhitomir. He fought in 11 battles and has been decorated by the Car with the Order of St. George. While on scout duty he came upon a treneh of Russians who were having a hard battle with a superior force of the enemy. He lay in a trench with them and fought all day. By nightfall their ammunition was giving out, and Orlof saved his corps by creeping out in the dark and finding his way through the heaped corpses to the main Russian line, where he obtained reinforcements ana a supply oi ammunition.

Tue discussion lasted irom 2:30 until 5 o'clock. The six men sat around a table in Mr. Rockefeller's offices and questions were asked and answered by both rep resentatives of capital and of labor. When the miners' officials left the room thev would only say: "We had a pleasant talk and an ex change of views about conditions. Don't n.sk us anv leading questions. See Air. Rockefeller." The minei's representatives would net sy whether they expected to have another talk with Mr. Rockefeller. They will be in New York for sev eral days. Mr. Rockfeller came out of the con ference room a few minutes later, but idid not Kive an extended review of the on fere lire, as he had done after his t;ilk with "Mother"' Jones on the prc- vious day. "It was just an informal, unofficial talk." he said, replying to questions. . "They gave nie certain facts about the situation in Colorado that I was glad to know and there was a general talk on the situation. No new suggestions were made." "When are you going to Colorado, Mr. Rockefeller?" was asked. ""If you can tell me that I should be ..glad to know," he replied. "Perhaps not until Spring?" was the next querry. "I cannot tell," bo replied. "There are certain things upon which thit will depend." , execution of the general plan for dreadnought for every state of the Union. Result Blight Have Been Different. Admitting thef advantage of high speed possessed by the battle cruisers in certain cases, the naval experts feel that they would stand no chance what ever against a corresponding number ot dreadnoughts, because of the heavy armor and tremendous defensive quail ties of the latter type. No European fleet could successfully attempt to land troops or reduce the fortifications of the Atlantic seaboard so long as the I'nited States has even the 21 bat tleships -which now make up the Atlan tic fleet. It would be first necessary to destroy this fleet of battleships to accomplish that feat. These experts believe that if the German fleet which was driven to cover in the North Sea after the loss of the Bluecher had included even one or two dreadnoughts there might have been a different ending. RUSSIAN ALWAYS EATING SOLDIERS' APPETITES MOST ASTO.X. ISHIXG IX WORLD. Thousands or Schoolboy M bo Have Run Away Fron Home Engased mn "Helpers' With Army. PETROGRAD, Jan. 12. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) Russian soldiers have the most astonishing ap petites of any troops in the world writes an army officer with the Rus sian troops in Poland. "At midday," he says, "each soldier gets a pound ot meat, three pounds of black bread and a great bowl of cab bage soup. - It all disappears In about an hour, and a couple of hours later they are all hungry again. Then you can see them clubbing together to buy chickens, which they cook and eat. An hour or so later you will hear a pig squealing, and they are eating again. It reminds one ot stories of the habits and capacities f the North American Indians. T suppose thousands of Russian schoolboys, most of them not more than 11 or 12 years old, have run away from home, and managed by hook or crook to attach themselves to the army as helpers of one kind or another. Most useful they are, too. At that age they don't knowoor care about death or dan ger.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) In reply to a leaflet offering advice as to how do- mestic servants can help Britain the servants of the fashionable West End of London have got out a pamphlet of advice to mistresses, suggesting that they: 1 Wear less expensive clothes. 2 Spend less on bridge, teas and matinees. 3 Quit pampering lapdogs. i Smoke less, drink less expensive wines and eliminate foods out of sea son and hothouse luxuries from the ta ble. The servants point out that the money spent on a lapdog, which is delicate animal and always needing the services of a veterinary, would support a starving and freezing child. Spare rooms - in the- .house could be turned over to convalescent soldiers. . Knitting is more valuable to the country than bridge, tea parties and matinees. A mistress, the servants point out, never thinks of these things in consid ering means of economy. Her idea is rather to curtail the small pay of the servants or to reduce the number of the staff, putting the extra work on the others. It would be well, says the reply, to reduce the lapdog's allowance of chocolates before cutting down on the amount of sugar given the serv ants. Similarly, the money spent in the lighting and heating of clubs would more than pay for the heating of serv ants' cold rooms. ' GE I SHELL KIR ED AT BRITONS IS HIGH KX PLOSIVE. Two-Hundred Pound Aerial Torpedoes Also Are Dropped on Enemies' Po sitions by Mine Throwers. LONDON", Jan. 28. A recital of re cent developments in the war by the official observer attached to British military headquarters, griven out here today, .includes a description of new projectiles employed by the Germans. "In some parts of our front the Ger mans are firing a new type of high ex plosive shell, detonating1 with a cloud of thick, white smoke," the report says. Their mine-thrower also occasionally throws a large bomb, or aerial torpedo. three feet, nine inches long: and nearly 0 inches wide. It weighs more than 200 pounds.

In some towns orders nave been ssued that all kitchen refuse not re quired by the inhabitants to feed to their own animals shall be saved and handed over to the authorities.

Al'les, Declares Speaker, Cannot Ap peal to Declaration of London, -, Which In Past They Have ' Treated With Contempt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Democrats of the Senate began today returning the fire of Republicans opposing the Gov ernment ship purchase bill. Senator Walsh, of Montana, delivered an elabor ate argument in reply to Senator Hoot's recent appeal that the Government be not committed to the purchase of "an international quarrel with every ship through the acquisition of interned German vessels. Quoting legal authorities of all the great maritime nations, the Montana Senator emphatically asserted the right of a neutral government or Its citizens to buy merchant ships in lime oi war. "There may be valid arguments against the pending bill founded upon considerations of domestic policy," he said. "There are no evils attendant upon it, so far as our foreign relations are concerned, that have thus tar Deen Dointed out. even if the shipping board should conclude to test, by the purchase of one or more of the belligerent ves sels in our ports, the- cfuestion whether the declaration of London nai jorever foreclosed us from farther maintaining pur historic attitude eonoerning the rights of neutrals to purohase the ves sels of nations at war." Daeln' Position Discussed. Speaking of the case of the eotton Bhip Dacia, the Senator declared that the only thing required by international law-to be proved in order to free that Ship from the danger of condemnation by a prize oourt was that her transfer from German to American ownership was made in good faith. Tlfis prin ciple as to marine transfers in war time had been maintained over and over again by British courts, he asserted. If Senator Root now held tha it Baa been abandoned by this Government, he added, the Senator had been derelict in his duty when Secretary of State in not pointing out to the Senate and the country in connection with the declara. tlon of London that so vital a surrender had been made. "It is idle, however, to delude our selves into the notion," he continued, "that the question is one tree from doubc or that our right to'purchase ships from belligerents is not likely td be questioned. It is understood that an intimation has already come to tne State Department from some sources that the acquisition of any of the so- called 'interhed ships would be re garded as 'apparently unlawful.' American Attitude Historic. But what of it? Are we to abandon our historic attitude on this question simply because some or all of the war ring nations may exhibit some disposi tion to dispute it? Are we to decline to nut the question to the test or dis courage or withhold our approbation from any of" our venturesome citizens who may be disposed to do so, merely because of a vague apprehension?" Citing the case of the St. Harlampy, a steamer purchased from Russian cit izens by Boston merchants during tne Crimean War, which was not molested in sDite of a warning that French cruisers would seize her, the Senator said: But. suppose she had been captured. what reason is there to suppose T.hat such an incident would have involved us in war with France? If. redress were not obtainable through diplomatic channels this Government doubtless would have demanded that the contro versy be arbitrated. Before an arbitral tribunal the controverted legal ques tion would have been fought out and an authoritative declaration of law on the disDuted Doint have been obtained. Such undoubtedly will be the general course that will be pursued should the Dacia be captured. Recent treaties ne gotiated with all of the belligerents reauire us as well as them to submit questions in difference to arbitration." Ships Sold During Civil War. Senator Walsh cited the sale of som 600 American-register ships to neutral citizens during the Civil War. "We lost our merchant marine be cause when we were at war other na tions at neace with us could buy them. he said. "It is now asserted that by some brilliaDt feat of diplomacy we are deprived of the right to buy their Bhips when they are at war." He quoted at length from the rec ords of British courts, the British Privy Council and Admiralty instructions to British naval officers to show that Great Britain has always held that bona fide transfer of an enemy ship to a neutral flag in war time was rec ognized. From one case he quoted the following: "There have been cases of merchant vessels driven into ports out of which thev could not escape and there sold in which, after much, discussion and some hesitation of opinion, the validity of the purchase has been sustained. France alone of the great commercial nations. Senator Walsh said, had held differently, but the attitude of France had been vigorously assailed by the other powers and her laws forbidding any transfers of enemy ships during a war had not been enforced. "It is idle to assert," he added, "that the declaration of London, so con temptuously treated by the allies, can be appealed to by them in justification of any course they may take in the present war or even that it can Justly have any persuasive force in the ulti mate determination of our right to purchase the interned ships." Sherman Predicts Complications. When Senator Walsh concluded. Sen ator Sherman began a speech attack ing the bill. He inquired why the Gov ernment did not go into the milling business, now that flour was $7.20 barrel, if high prices for ocean trans Dortation had induced it to seek to em bark in the shipping business. With clothing so high, he suggested that the Government might start a sheep ranch to raise wool and open a woolen mill. "Food and clothing are infinitely more important to the people than transpor tation over the sea," insisted Senator Sherman. "The only effect of additional ocean transportation will be to take more flour and meat away from this country and send up the prices of those articles. Why not do something to re duce the cost of living?". He declared Senator Walsh's argu ment had not "seriously shaken" the presentation of the international com plications possible made by Senator tied, they were opposed to the school because they believed it unnecessarily increased the number of workers in dif ferent trades. " John D. Rockefeller was the largest contributor to the Association for Ira- proving the Condition of the Poor. Mr. Rockefeller last year gave the asso ciation J50.000 and gave an additional (20,000 to 'a fund for 'the pensioning of widows with small children. The association is caring for more than 600 widows at present. Mr. Cutting said the Fockefeller Foundation had given about $130,000 to the Bureau of Municipal Research. Several city officials had been removed after the bureau made reports con cerning them, he said. Carpeai Pensions Discussed. Other witnesses who testified today were Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Church of the Messiah of this City, and Ivy L. Lee, member of the personal staff of John D, Rockefeller. Sr., and at one time publicity agent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Dr. Holmes said that as the teachers' pension fund provided for by Andrew Carnegie was meant only for teachers in non-denominational institutions, all the denominational institutions were doing everything in their power to get out of that class. The primary cause of industrial unrest, he thought, was the inequitable distribution of wealth. coupled with the 'desire of the masses to better themselves. Mr. Lee's testimony had to do with methods of gaining publicity for cor porations. ALCOHOL n BUDGET RUSSIA PLAKS TAXES TO ATOXE FOR LOSS FROM LIQUOR. Labor's Efficiency Declared to Have Increased SO to 100 Per Cent as Result of Enforced Sobriety. PETROGRAD, Jan. 27. via London Jan, 38. The official report made by the ways and means committee of the Duma tonight Indicated that despite the war the government estimates of its ordinary income from direct taxes during the coming year will exceed that of last year by (16,457,000 rubles (J33,- zzs.duu). The direct taxes will be ap proximately 342,485,000 rubles '($171,- This is the first budget in which the income from alcoholic drinks will be eliminated, from nearly 1,000,000,000 rubles (JoOO.000,000) from this source the government revenue will drop to a lew miuion rubles, which will accrue from the sale of industrial spirits. The government expected no diffi, culty in raising by indirect taxes a suf ficient amount to cover the deficiency due to lack of rsvenue from the sale liquors. Notwithstanding the great percentage ot laborers in the ranks of the army it is pointed out that the effi ciency of those remaining, owing to en forced sobriety, has been increased from 50 to 100 per cent. t!ilw tFREE PHONES Children's Playroom at the National la very complete with everything to amuse the lit tle ones.

There remains a certain clement of mystery in the -case. The woman to whom Des Claux is accused of sending army provisions is wealthy, and it is asked what object could thert be in providing her with sacks of lentils, preserved beef and other food, quanti ties of which, it is alleged, were found by the military police in her mansion in the Avenue Henri Martin. According to the Figaro, the defense will be that Des Claux, who is entitled to triple rations, is a small eater and had arranged to send to the woman his surplus of supplies, she in return send ing him chickens and other delicacies.
