via I.ondon, March 24. Reports which

caused an explosion in her magazine.
Later she was again hit by a same

ret and otherwise damaged by a Turk
ish shell. She also was taken out of

slight generally. The casualties on the

.Matter Is to Be Brought "Up In Brit
ish Parliament.
I-ONDON. March 6. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The recent
refusal of the educational authorities
to sanction the introduction of mili
tary drill in the elementary schools
of London and other cities has caused
much dissatisfaction and the matter

sion. In the House of Lords the matter has
been brought to the attention of mem
bers bv a motion introduced by Lord
Willoughby de Broke: "That in the
opinion of this House, definite mili
tary drill. Including the use of arms,
should from henceforth form part of
our national system of education; and
that cadet corps with universal mem
bership thereof should be by law es
tablished in all male public schools
and colleges in the United Kingdom."
f SWISS ANNOYED BY SHELLS
; f hols During Franco-German Artil
I Jgry 1fcl Cross Border.
; GENEVA, March 7. (Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.) Some
; tf the fighting between the Germans
; and 1' reiicb. have been so uncomfort
; ably close to Swiss territory that In
Z an artillery engugement recently five
t shells fell in Switzerland. Two Swiss
; engineers, who were working near by,
r were knocked down by the concus-
- sion. although not seriously hurt.
- On the previous day the French had
; established a battery of heavy guns
t near point 510, close to the Swiss fron
tier. This was apparently located by
"a German airman, but the French ob
T servers had seen him reconnoitering
and promptly moved their battery back
u mile or two the same night. But
early the next day the Germans fired
for some hours on the spot where the
puns had bern. and five of their shells
. came across the border.

all-compelling language of her people.
This exposition has to be. to Justify
in the minds of man the potency of
dreams and visions over mere material
things. It is in consonance with the
record or this people. Some time In
the hurrying rush of reEtless men it
had to be. but it came sooner than
otherwise it would have come, because
someone dreamed that here in this sun
kissed clime there lay the seven cities
of Cibola.
"Surely he should not be charged
with being merely poetic in mind, who
on this occasion Boldly declares that
California . is the-product of a dream
and that this exposition is, the comr
poslte photograph of dreamers. The
seven cities of Cibola have become
seventy and seven cities of culture,
wealth and character. The dream of
the Anian Strait has become a reality,
south of Mexico. It is true, but never
theless a reality called the Panama
Canat.
1 am sure I express the thought of
ihe Fresident and the hope of the
American people when I say that our
Canal was built not alone for glory or
great gain, but with a sincere desire
to make the whole world kin. There
are two gospels now Instead of one:
the gospel of good will has been sup
plemented by the gospel of personal
contact. The gospel of good will con
tinue to be supreme, but nothing will
help it preach so loudly as those human
agencies which eliminate distance,
blend languages and give us sight as
well as knowledge each of the other.
"I am quite sure that I am but one
of a countless throng in this republic
who regret that this altruistic work
has a real or seeming defect in the
charge of an. injustice done a sister
republic to the south. Let us not be
too much dismayed this day by reason
f that fact. The American people are
wise and they know he is not wise who
is not Just. I look, with confidence,
for the early arrival of that good hour
when whatever wrong may have been
done shall be righted and when there
will be left no drop of bitter water to
flow in that channel which unites the
seas.
Friendly Relations Craved.
"From the first to the present
President of the United States, when
ever thought has been voiced upon the
subject, that thought has been that
wb exist for humanity's sake as much
as for our own, that we crave 'friendly
relations with all people and entan
gling alliances with none.'
While half the world is in a rage
indescribable and unutterable, seek
ing to build monuments out of clay
kneaded in a brother's blood, sad-eyed
and sober the Goddess of our institu
tions seeks to hold out to a warring
world the olive branch of peace.
"Ostensibly I am here in the name ot
the President of the United States to
dedicate this exposition in glorifica
tion of the completion of the canal.
Really, that waterway from its be
ginning was dedicated to the idea and
the ideals of the Republic. Here men
of every age and everj' clime behold
the noonday of the world's accomplish
ment, the crystallization of the dreams
and thoughts of genius and of talent.
May we not hope that here a thougbt
dawn will be born that shall not cease
to broaden until at Its meridian light,
all men around the world are one?
Impressive Scene Is Formed.
The imnresslveness of the scene was
added to by the scores of foreign rep
resentatives, officers or the Army ana
Navy In full dress uniform resplendent
in gold braid.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, ex -Vice-President
Fairbanks and Albert Tiaman, France's
commissioner, also occupied seats.
Prior to the dedication a lunoheon
was served for the officials in the
California state building, followed by
a review of the fleet's marine and blue
jackets by the Vice-President, Admiral
Howard and General Murray.
The Vice-President joined tonight
with the National commission in receiv-ine-
the foreign commissioners at a re
ception and ball In the California State
building.

declared that while he at all times
favored expenditures on projects ben
eficial to the people of America, he
was absolutely opposed to appropria
tions covering the cost of improvements
on rivers which might better oe termea
mirages and similar projects.
His speech was run oi rne quaim
nhiinsonhv for which the Vice Presi
dent is famed, although he avoided
committing himself to any of the ad
ministration policies concerning trans
portation.
The great reason why our water,
ways have been slow in their devel
nntnent lies in the fact that the Ameri
can people are going to fast," said the
Vice President. "They are, not content
to wait through the slower stages of
water transportation, but demand the
speed and rush of express trains. .The
future, however. will bring about a
decided change in this. Already we are
reaching the era when the things we
need on our breakfast table will be
sent to us by means of water transpor
tation and not by express or fast
freight." t

CARGO OWNERSHIP IX DOUBT
Food on Wilhelmina Not Property of
One Concern, Is Belief.
WASHINGTON, March 24. Complies-
fLCA!S j
Greatest
I; Cigarette
tions have arisen in regard to the own
ership of the cargo of the American
steamship Wilhelmina, which are be
lieved to have influenced the British
Admiralty court in resisting counsel's
application for a prompt determination
of the proceedings before the court.
It was at first supposed that the
cargo of provisions was owned entirely
by an American concern and it was on
that understanding that the State De
partment as late as last week made
representations to the British Govern
ment with a viow of having the legal
proceedings expedited to escape a loi
from deterioration.
Recently, however, it has been re
ported to the department that the own
ership of the cargo was not entirely In
one concern, and now it is expected
that the procecjilncs in the British
court will be shaped to develop all thn
facts connected with the ownership.
The Wilhelmina, being an Atnerlrsn
vessel, will be released by the coutt.
according to the expectations of the
State Department officials, regardless
of the dlspol'i"n miii of her cargo.
