Bakhmeteff protested against the Sulzer abrogation of the treaty on the ground that its final adoption would be inconsistent with the long friendship between United States and Russia. Owing to the reticence of all con cerned in, the negotiations it was im possible to learn the exact nature of the protest. It is believed to have been dlrcted principally againnst the language of the Sulzer resolution which boldly declared Russia had violated the terms of the treaty. When Informed of this, Sulzer, chair man of the house foreign relations committee declared he saw nothing Insulting to "sensitive Russia" In his resolution and. believed It would go through the senate without modifl cation. "-' ( wniie nettner tne President nor Secretary Knox was alarmed, it was said at the white house that deter mined effort would be made by the senate leaders to modify the Sulzer resolution. Action on the Russian treaty is scheduled in senate for Monday next. It was indicated that consideration of the subject might be delayed be yond that time, meanwhile Taft and Knox are continuing displomatic ne gotiations with Russia, both here and In St. Petersburg, through the American ambassador there. The Russian ambassador's protest was made to Knox late last night Later the ambassador and Knox called at the white house and tool; the matter up with the President in conference which extended late Into the night.' .v Today Knox and tfio President considered the matter for more than an hour; It was not until tiiis con ference ended that, the matter be came public. Bakhmeteff let it be known that Rusuia was decidedly dissatisfied with the Sulzer resolu tion. Taft discussed the matter to day with several of his callers and It was from senators who visited the white house that Taft learned that an effort would be made to modify in the senate the Sulzer reso lution as It came from the house. Both diplomats and cabinet offi cers denied that the situation wag at all serious. PREDICTS WAR BETWEEN New York, Dec. 16. John Norton OrtrtUhs, member of parliament for Wednesbury, declares that England and Germany will be at war within six years and America as well as all Europe will feel the effect of the conflict. He says, the whole German nation is seeking war . with Great Britain at every turn, and that while 'bonkers averted hostilities at the last crisis, bankers cannot always stand in the way of a whole people. Mr. Griffiths, who has Just returned from the Canadian northwest, thinks belief in the coming war caused the the Cadanlans to vote against reci procity with the United States. He tiyinks they say the necessity of bringing the British Empire Into unity to confront the menace to the existence of the mother nation.

Watts Again Kloct ed PresidentTrustees Named for Knsiiing Year Knthusinstic Meet in of Club Held, (Special to The Times.) Durham, Dec. 16 At the annual meeting of the board of trustees yes terday at the Watts Hospital, George W. Watts was re-elected president, John Sprunt Hill vice president, and P. W. Vaughan secretary-treasurer. The most significant of all things brought before the board, was the report of Mr. G, W. Watts, founder of the Institution, In which he spoke of the great growth of the hoBpitil in number of patients and In Its pop ularity. During the months of Au gust, September and October, there were from 70 to 80 patients all the time, these figures showing that there are three times as many pa tients now being treated as there were In the old hospital.

While Democrats Pass Pen sion Bill In Hope of Getting Voter Raleigh people are greatly inter ested in the outcome of the federal pension bill in congress, since Floor Loader Underwood says that the pas- sago of the bill will mean that the appropriations for public buildings and works will not be passed at this session. This city was expecting $225,000 for an addition to the post- office building, but thero It 'little hope how that the money will bo appropriated for Beveral years. ' The pension bill, as passed from the house, provldos for a further in crease of $75,000,000 for all males enlisted for as long as ninety days in the union army, regardless of whether the men ever smelt powder or not. The budget for public build ings carried $40,000,000, but Leader Underwood says this will not be passed at this session. The pension roll amounted to nearly fl70,000 000 In 1910. The action of the democratic house in passing the enormous pen sion bill increase has been a mat ter of comment- in this city. Every body knows that the democrats were Simply playing to the union veterans, but everybody does not believe that this was good campaign material. A union soldier in comfortable circum stances la likely to have enough pa triotism to resent the digging into the federal pork barrel; the schomc Is bo transparent that everybody stes through It, and It Is believed by many people that the passage of the bill was the greatest blunder democrats have ever made. Six members of the North Carolina delegation voted against the measure. Representative Faison answered present, but did not vote; Congress men Pou and Webb did not vote at all, and Congressman Gudgor voted for the bill. The other six represent atives voted against the bill. Dunbar Festivities Over. Delhi.

MAY BE UDE Plans of the Democrats For the Reorganization! the .i Army CHAIRMAN HAYS PUNS Some Changes Are Advocated by tiie Aiu Depart men t, and It Is Under stood That the Democrat Not Only Favor Those, Hut Will rro pose Some 'lcgislation of Their Own 'May Attach Amendments to Army Appromiation Bill la Order To Get Them Through.. . (By Win field Jones ) Washington, Dec. 16 The present congress probably will make Im portant changes In the organization ol the United States army. Some of these changes will be recommended ' by the war department, whllB others will originate in the house commit-, tee on military affairs, and will go belore. the house with the opposition of the war department. Chairman James Hay, of the house committee, is a military authority himself, lie has for years been a member of the committee He has studied army needs during a period. While the republicans had control ot the house, however, he had but little influence as a minority m j ber. lie could co-operate with re publicans and get results, but he could not then lead a successful fight if politics was injected. Now the house chairman is In c m mand of the situation and he has a program for army legislation which, he proposes to put through If pos sible. He proposes first of all that, the enlistment period be Increased from three to five years. This Is,. a radical step, but it Is one which has the support of some of the leading military authorities in the country. The argument in favor of it is strong, just as the objections are strong. The Hay followers point out that it is a foolish policy to train American soldiers , for three years, to go to the expense of making them liKhting machines, then to have them quit the service when they are valu able to the army. It would be a good investment, they say, to train and organize them into a fighting body, if they are to serve for at least live yen rs. Otherwise the Investment would not bo justified, they claim. From llio --.opposition comes the argument that to insist upon a five year enlistment would discourage men from going into the army. Men as it rule, the war department people say. do not. enlist in the army with ti-e idea of serving more than one term. :Many of them ro-enlist, it is tine, but tliey do it after they .be come attached to army life by trying it, They rarely have, any such Idea when they originally offer their ser vices. . Therefore, it is pointed out, if lon(f terniii of enlist niont are required, tho army will have even greater diffi culty In keeping the forces recruited hp to its present force than now, Then, v too, the Hay commit teemen propose that the government (Continued on Page Three.)
