CHICAGO, March 21.—The
sub-committee on arrangements
of the republican national com
mittee adjourned today without
taking action on the election of a
temporary chairman- No definite
announcement has been given out
as to the reason for the failure to
take action. W. F. Stone of Bal
timore was elected sergeant at
arms for the June convention- It
is generally thought that the mat
ter of the temporary chairman
har been purposely left over un
til the next meeting of the com
mittee, subject to the call of the
cn.n:. sometime about the middle
of April.
Franklin Murphy, who yester
day said in an interview that the
wisest leaders of the party seem
to think that Roosevelt could not
be elected even if he should re
ceive the nomination, declared
today that recent letters written
by Col. Roosevelt to intimate
friends indicate that he is very
much a candidate and will proba
bly be among the leaders in the
fight for the nomination. Murphy
admitted that Roosevelt might
develop unexpected strength at
the convention and also that he
undoubtedly had a very strong
■ • T
“He is a strong possibility,”
said Murphy, “and undoubtedly
will have the support of many
powerful republicans in the event
of his running. Roosevelt has
several very admirable qualities
to recommend him,” Murphy add
ed, “and one of them is that he
sticks to his friends.”
Despite the seeming assurance
that Hughes is out of the running
his name is never the less a prom
inent feature of all politcal dis
cussion. The members of the
committee seem to be undecided
as to just what will develop with
respect to him. Chairman Hilles
statecModay^hat in his opinion
Hughes will not be a candidate *
but others seem inclined to think I'
that he may enter the field re-1 J
sponse to a growing sentiment in 1
his favor. Several committeemen
stated that the growth of Hughes j
sentiment is readily preceptible, \
particularly in the northwestern \
states, Several expressed the ‘.j
opinion that Roosevelt will not j
be seriously considered at the, j
convention. t j

EDISON PREDICTS U. S.
Will NOT PREPARE)

ORANGE, N. J., March 22.—
That the United States will not
'prepare for defense along ade
quate lines and will ultimately be
easy conquest for some nation in
the future was the prediction of
Thmas A. Edison before his de
parturc for Flordia today
BLUBBER AND SEAL
ON MENU IN BERLIN
TheLokal Anzeiger is advocat
ing the use of “polar meat” to
relieve the scarcity of meat in
Germany during the war and af
terwards. The newspaper quotes
Nansen’s “Farthest North,” in
which the explorer tells how he
enjoyed the oyster-like delicious
ness of blubber and whale meat.
A popular restaurant is now
billing blubber, boiled or baked,
and it is suggested that if whale
pleases the public, seal meat will
be added.
The German papers state that
the provisioning of Belgium has
been temporarily guaranteed for
a year between the governor-gen
eral and the ministers of the Uni
ted States, Spain and Holland
and the British government. It
is asserted that Britain, after long
negotiations, agreed to Hinder in
no way the supplying of the Bel
gium civil population with food
by sea until the harvest of 1916,
the German government under
taking in return to hand over the
entire ,<1915 Belgian grain crop
to the Belgians.—Exchange.
THE WORLD’S MOST
SOUTHERLY TOWN
New York Independent.
Ushuaia is the most southerly
town in the world. It lies in
latitude .55 south and is only
seventy miles from Cape Horn.
As the capital of that part of
Tierra del Fuepo which belongs
to the Argentine Republic, it
prides itself on being the resi
dence of the governor and on pos
sessing a wireless station, a fish
ing and canning company, several
stores, a church and o"e hotel. It
is also the penal settlement of
Argentina. In the large building
at the back of the town there are
over 1,000 men imprisoned for
terms varying from five years to
a lifetime.
Mount Olivia, which is 4.600
feet high and the highest mountain
in the island, overlooks the town.
It is never entirely free of snow,
For eight months in the year a
hard sheet of ice covers the
ground, on which the only vehi
cles to be seen are sleighs.
PRINTING IN
MEXICO IN 1536
Of almost more interest than
anything connected with the
church of Santa Teresa de la
Antigua in the City of Mexico is
the fact that the first printins
press in the new world was es
tablished in the corner house, ad
joining the sacred edifice. It was
brought from Europe at the re
quest of Bishop Zumarraga in
Edison drew a very gloomy
picture of the future of the Uni
ed States and declared that un
less there is a sudden change in
lie near future the nation will
become decadent and ultimately!
lie. “We are in for far bigger
trouble in Mexico than is general
■ v anticipated.” said the wizard,
1853 by Viceroy Mendoza The
first printer was Juan Paoli, of
Brescia, Italy, who was sent ~fo
Mexico by Comberger. The first
printed book appeared in 1536.
The Spanish missionaries made
good use of the press, which was
active nearly a century before a
similar establishment was set up
in the United States.

Respecting the European War,
the great inventory had no hes
itation in saying that it would end
in favor of the allies
“Germany will last one more
year,’* he said,""and then she will
be hopelessly crushed. Edison
also declared that every man in
America should be a trained ^ol-^
dier if the country is to hold its
own in the international race for
supremacy. “Every young buck
in this country ought to be train
ed to be a soldier but it is certain
that you cannot force prepared
ness on this country until it is
too late. After the European
war the preparedness agitation
going on at present will die out
nd then war with the United
States will be a walkover for
;ome nation.
Concerning the ultimate future
of the United States, Edison
;aid: “This nation will reach its]
mex and then will rapidly deter
I
iorate and die. Germany, on the
contrary, is on the wake and will
ultimately become one of the!
rtiightest nations because of its
►methods and remarkable effici- j
ency. Our turn will come but we!
have got to get more efficient.1
At present we are only half effici-:
ent. We must become so that 1,
nothing will be wasted whereas
at present half of everything is
wasted."
Edison also said that he intends
to convert Henry Ford to the1
cause of preparedness and bring
his large energies to the task of
'ssistinc in the country’s protec
tion. “Ford will be my guest in
Florida,” said Edison, “and I am
going to convert him to prepared
liesS. I intend that we shall both
get on a war footing. You may
be certain of one thing, if this
country goes to war Henrv Ford
vill place his plants and his for
tune at the. disposal of the gov- 4
ernment." j
