Decorates His Own Generals Too, at Love Feast Held at Nish. LONDON, Jan. 21, 7.50 A. M—A Reuter despatch from Amaterdam says that at the banquet given In Nish on Tuesday last on the occa- sion of the presence there of Emperor William and King Ferdinand of Bul- garia both monarchs delivered ad- dressen, Kaiser Wilhelm dropped a broad hint that the Turco-German cam- paign against Egypt is soon to begin. In addition to the field marshal’* baton he handed Czar Ferdinand, the Kalser conferred the Order of the Black Bagle on the Bulgarian Crown Prince and the Grand Cross upon Field Marshal Mackensen and Gen, Falkenbayn, Chief of Staff. ‘The Katiser is returning to Germany from Belgrade, where he recetved in audi- ence many Austrian officials, King Ferdinand spoke first. thanked the Emperor for his visit, re- marking that it was exactly 215 years He since Frederick I. of Prussia had been crowned, that it was forty-five years since the new Germany was founded and that to-day the Emperor, after a Victory of his arms, could safely enter the former Roman Castle of Nish “The world learned to know with surprise and admiration the strength of Germany and of her allies,” said the King, “and believes in the invin- clbility of the German Army under the guidance and leadership of its Emperor.” He expressed the hope that 1916 would bring lasting peace “as the holy fruit of our victories and allow my People to co-operate in the future in works of kultur.” If fate, he said, should impose on them the continua tion of the war then his people in arms would be ready to do its duty, f£>cuking in Latin he called Emperor ‘William the victorious and glorious leader. He said: “The peoples of the East salute thes as a redeomer bear- ing prosperity and safety to tho op- pressed.” peror William began his address by saying to King Ferdinand: “Your Majesty dwelt to-day on three {m- portant epochs which coincide with this day. Very often as a young man at the side of my grandfather and later as ruler I have celebrated this memorable day, always with like im portance, surrounded by the Knights of the Order of the Black Eagle, Now for the second time by God's decision I celebrate it in the field on old his- toric ground in a beautiful country conquered by Bulgarian brav- ery, recetved by a King amidst Ms brave troops and their illustrious lead- ers and honored by Your Majesty not only with a high order, but above all with appointment as chief of the Twelfth Balkan Infantry Regiment. Thus Your Majesty honored me, as I could not better hope for. To-da gave me the fulfillment of a long che: ished wish, and your words prove that we, in ostimating this hour, are filled with the same feeling.

BERLIN, Jan. 21 (by wireless to Sayville).-Another statement in de- fense of Capt. Frang von Papen, for- mer German Military Attache at Washington, was made to-day by the Overseas News Agency, as follows: ‘A wireless’ despatch from England gays that the letters, checks and vouchers which were taken from Capt. von Papen by the British at Fal- mouth, In violation of tnterfiational law, are to be published. It Is to be hoped that they will be reproduced in fac similie, because it will then be evident that Capt. von Papen never ‘|mado a payment to Werner Horn, who Is accused of having attempted to blow up a,Canadian railway bridge. “But in case the British publish anything of this kind it may be as- serted in advance that it will be a forgery “It is interesting to note that in the British wireless reports the accusa- tion that Capt. von Papen was con- nected with any plots to blow up am- munition works in the United States apparently has been dropped. The ease of Horn is singled out. solomnly stated in the British despatches that the letters r documents taken from Capt. von Papen were seized because they were personal belongings which were not protected by the safe conduct guaranteed to him. Lf this is really the British idea, everybody in Ger- many will regret that it was not known before, for in that case the archives of the British Embassy might have been seiz r the be- ginning of the war. oubt they would have brought to light interest- ing information concerning the policy carried on for years against Ger- many." —_—_—S————_ CORONATION OF CHINA’S NEW RULER POSTPONED Revolt Forces Yuan Shi Kai to Put Off His Enthronement as Em- peror Indefinitely.

LONDON, Jan, 21.—An imperative need for more ammunition has foreed the Government to propose a drastic amendment to the Munitions Act, Premier Asquith informed the House of Commons this afternoon. To increase the number of persons engaged in making shells, the Govern- ment proposes to replace skilled union workers, engaged on minor tasks, by men and women classed as “semi-un- skilled,” transferring the skilled unton men to more important work. ‘This measure, the Prime Minister an nounced, will be Introduced following an agreement with the Labor party members. What reecption the Government's Proposal will receive from the radical laborites is not known. A few months ago Minister of Munitions Lloyd George made unsuceessful attompts to obtain the sanction of the unions to guch a scheme. The radical leaders declared they suspected a scheme to undermine unionism, but said thoy might agree to such a programmo if convinced that it was absolutely nec- essary. _———_. NEW PROTEST AGAINST $22,000,000 FOR WATER Realty Qwners Ask Board to Give System a Tryout Before Spending More. A delegation of the United Real tate Owners’ Association was at to- day's meeting of the Board of Esti- mate to protest against the proposed extra $22,000,000 expenditure for water supply. Edward Doyle and Stewart Browne spoke for the real estate men, Mr. Browne said: “There is no cer- tainty that present system of water supply will work as well am it is claimed, I am informed that the present water tunnel In Manhattan cannot be used as it now is because of defects, and that it must be lined with copper. Is this true?” Charles Straus, Chairman of the Board of Water Supply, said: “As an extra precaution it is true we have decided to have the tunnel copper lined. This work will cost $100,000 ex- tra.” “If the whole city was metred,” de- elared one of the real estate men, “the city would save 300,000,000 gallons of water daily.
