The report of the declaration of mar- tial Jaw in Greece, to be put into ef- fect in Greece next week has caused renewed speculation in the capitals of the world. It may very probably be explained on the ground of the threatened Bulgar-Teutonic invasion of Greek territory in the effort to drive the allies out of Salonica.

Waterbury, Conn., Jan. 4—Two men were killed, five others injured and the lives of sixty guests endangered in a fire that destroyed the Hotel Con- necticut in the heart of the business section sarly today. One of the dead men is George Cass, aged 60, a hotel employe, who was overcome with smoke and died soon after being taken from the building by a fireman. The police say they believe all the guests escaped from the building. Members of a burlesque company had retired in the hotel shortly before the fire broke out. Vincent Dusey of New York, their manager, said that hardly any of the company escaped with more than their night clothes and such street- clothes as they could snatch ‘hastily as they fled from the building. Manager James Clancy of a local theater led his wife and child to safety and the firemen carried his aged mother down the fire escape. The firemen did herofe work in saving the women and they had hardly completed their search of the building when they were forced to flee for their lives from the flames that burst up through the three floors and forced their way through the roof. At 2 oclock the man who died was identified as Charles M. Decker, of South Norwalk, member of Lodge 97, 0dd_Fellows. He was overcome by smoke, apparently when trying to es- cape and was found at the front of the building on the second floor sev- eral minutes after all were believed to have been rescued. He was rush- ed to the hospital but died on his way. MASSACRE OF MEN BY VILLA SOLDIERS All Male Residents of San Pedro de la Ceuva, Over 15 Killed.

Pioneer in Western Railroad Building. As a pioneer in western railroad building he has the Union Pacific railroad, who®e line he located and whose construction he superintended, standing today as & monument to his memory. Some sixty years ago, the then young_Dodge, Who had moved from New England, where he had studied eivil ineering, to Council Bluffs, Ia., en “the employ of the Ilinois Centzal' railroad.

Lincoln and Dodge agreed that it was feasible. g /Resisted By Indians. The federal government shortly afterward decided to begin surveying for the proposed line. Dodge jumped at the chance of leading the party. Several trips were made as far as the Rocky Mountains searching for the most” feasible route, the men under Dodge . plunging into many a wilder- ness to meet stubborn resistence on the part of the Indians.

He had had some mill- fary, fraining st Norwich rmont._ and- some exper n. fighting Indians. Securing a colonel commission from his old friend, Pres ident Lincoln, he raised, drilled and equipped at his own _expense . the Fourth Iowa Infantry regiment. Gallantry Won Promotion. Within two weeks Colonel Dodge was leading his command against the rebels in Northern Missouri. His gallantry soon afterword at the bat- tle of Pea Ridge won almost instant promotion to the rank of brigadier general. He lost one fourth of his en- tire command but he saved the day for the Federal army. He again dis- tinguished himself in the decisive bat- tle of the Atlanta campaign, July 22, 1864, when he defeated General Hood desperate movement to the rear of the Army of the Tennessee. Later while standing in a trench before Atlanta, General Dodge was sho: and severely wounded in the head. Y. M. C. A. MEMBERS AS AN ARMY RESERVE. Plan Initiated by East Side Branch in New York City. New York, Jan. 3.—One hundred members of the East Side branch of the ¥. M. C. A. have enrolled in a company for military training, it was announced today.

The general plan for the reserve has been passed upon by Major General Leonard A. Wood, commander of the department of the east, and Major General John F. Ryan of the New York National guard, it was stated. While a considerable portion of the training work is expected to be done in gym- nasiums and armorles, city authorities have indicated that streets and parks may be made available at certain peri~ ods for the reserve companies.

Believed to Have Been Cau: ed by Bursting of a Gas Tank—One Body Was Blown Fifty Fest to the Deck of Another Ship—Tug Com- mander Took Off Injured Men. New York, Jan, 3—One man is dead and eleven others are known to be missing as the result of an explo- sion which wrecked the engine room of the Norweglan -oil tank steamer Aztec at a_Brooklyn dock today. The dead man was a fireman on the vessel and five of the missing were members of the crew. The other six were employed on the dock. Seven were injured, two of them seriously. Trapped Below Decks. Most of the victims were trapped below decks and those who were not tantly killed were drowned in the water which flooded the engine room through a great hole blown in the side of the ship. Cause of Explosion Unknown. The ship had just left a drydock and the cause of the explosion is unknown, although it is belleved to have been caused by the bursting of a tank of 10,000 cubic feet of gas which was used in connection with the oil fuel for the engines. Futile Attempt to Reach Bodies Four hours after the explosion oc- curred city firemen worked desperate- ly but futilely to recover the bodies of the victims. As it seemed cer- tain that none of those who were be- low at the time could have escaped with their lives it was finally deeid- ed to pump the ship dry before re- newing attempts to reach the bodies. Rescue Work by Tug Captain., Most of the injured were rescued by Captain A. F. Bennett of the tug Dalzeline, which was steaming down the river near the dock at the time of the explosion. Captain Bennett sald he saw the body of a man hurled in- to th air followed by a flame which shot fifty feet high, lce%r:dplmed by a teriffic explosion. The y fell in- to the river and sank immediately. Captain Bennett at once steamed undér the stern of the Astec and tooff off elght of the crew, all of whom were badly injured. Body Blown Fifty Feet. The body of another man, a fireman, ‘was blown on to the deck of the Rose- lands, a steamer which was anchored about fifty feet away. ‘The Aztec was under charter to the Interocean Transport Company of this city. It recently returned from France and went into drydock on De- cember 4. The ship was to have sail- ed for Philadelphia this week to take fon cargo for a return trip to France. MOTORBOATS TO ACT AS SUBMARINE DESTROYERS Will Use Gasoline and Develop a Speed of 80 Miles Per Hour Chicago, Jan. ain. 4—James Pugh, former commodore of the Chicago Yacht Club, who has been co-operat- ing with officlals of the navy depart- ment in connection with plans for a fleet of motorboats to act as subma- rine destroyers, today received plans for a new cruiser to be known as Dis- turber. VI. Commodore.Pugh is the owner of Digérber IV, said to be the fastest motorboat in the world.

They believe it essential in the form- ulation of a national military policy, it was learned tonight, to provide against the eventuality of an assault upon the doctrine by either an Asia- tic or a European power or even by an alliance of two such powers, which might hurl forces simultaneously at the Atlantic ana Pacific coasts. A navy equal in strength to those of any two world powers, except Great Britain and an army prepared to fight for the intergrity of the Pan- American idea anywhere in Pan- America is the ultimate aim of the plans of the military experts. Shock of Present War Will Last Ten Years. Ten years is the time navy general board believes the United States-has in which to prepare for a readjustment of world forces which will follow the European war. In setting 1925 as the time when the Tnited States navy should equal float—which means reaching _the two-power standard of the British navy—the board estimated that much time would elapse before the shock of the present war passed sufficlently jto pérmit any-ef_the belligerents to look to South or Central America for colonial developmient or trade aggres- ston. Plans of the army. war college would be consummated in six years. The army officers take the position that the United States must have suf- | ficient troops and troop ships to land | torces in any threatened Pan-Ameri- can country to meet an invader. More Than Passive Resistance. All these preparations, it is now known, have been presented by strategists to the administration as essential to support the Monroe Doc- trine so that the United States may be able to act alone, if necessary, to preserve its ideal of no entangling al- itances. Such ideals, the military students have stated, impose new dutles on the United States—duties that require somethirig more than a policy of mere passive resistance. Pan-American Unity. While the administration branch of the government has submitted to congress a definite plan which con- templates an increased expenditure of more than a billion dollars on the mil- itary and naval establishments in the next six years, all other agencies of the government are acting to unify and harmonize the Pan-American na- tons. To students of diplomacy, the Pan-American declarations of Presi- dent Wilson in his opening address to congress: the declarations for Pan- American unity made to the Pan- American Scientific Congress here by Secretary Lansing and the general ef- fort for unity of all the Americas on a basis of friendship and equality, take on added significance when con- sidered in connection with the ad- ministration’s preparedness plan. Significant Factors. The recent announcement that the ambasadors from Argentina, Brazil and Chili had been selected by the United States to represent it on the commission provided by the peace in- vestigation treaties with France, Great Britain and Italy, is regarded as one of the significant factors in this connection. Significance also is seen in the ais- closure that an effort to postpone the Pan-American Congress on the ground that sufficient time had not been given to prepare an adequate scientific pro- gramme was met by the statement that the United States was insistently desirous of taking prompt steps to further the spirit of Pan-American accord, confidence, sympathy and mu- tuality. South American capitals the regarded there as more - political than sclentific ang that congress is regard- ed there as.more political than scien- tific and that apropriation of the sen- timent of Pan-American unl is freely expressed. Confidential Information Not Revealed ‘What confidential information ' the Army war college and the Navy gen- era Iboard may have gathered con- cerning the intentions of any certain powere or powers is not being re- vealed: but there are certain.matters of genmeral knowledge which are known to have'entered into the study of pomsibilities upon which the theory of a two power attack upon the Mon- roe Doctrine was based. 5 A Two-Powsr Navy.
