Simplified spelling has its advocate* In France, for the minister of public instruction has lately ordered that the public schools Bhall teach the spelling of a number of words in the form recommended by the French academy.

Mr. Taft, in his address at the dedi­ cation of the prison-ship martyrs' mon­ ument In Brooklyn the other day, dwelt on the heroism of the revolu­ tionary patriots who endured the suf­ fering on board the ships anchored in New York harbor rather than aban­ don the colonies and obtain comfort and freedom by enlisting in the Brit­ ish armies. It has been customary to dwell on the cruelty of the British In treating their prisoners inhumanly; but Mr. Taft wisely and truly called attention to the fact that these prison­ ers were dealt with in the way that was customary at that time. Prison reform Is a modern philanthropy. A new form of insanity imported from Italy, it is Baid, has appeared in the South, due to eating meal from fermented corn.

Washington.--The voting of 1800,000 for the relief of the Italian earth­ quake sufferers was the quick and unanimous response Monday of con­ gress to a message (frcrm President Roosevelt. The chief executive galled attention to the awful disaster and the need of immediate assistance for the survivors, and in both senate and house the appropriation was made at once and without a dissenting voice. Only the fact that the national leg Islature was adjourned for the holiday recess when the earthquake occurred prevented earlier &ct?on although by the president's direction and with coia- flderce of congressional approval sup­ plies aboard the naval ships Celtic and Culgoa, intended for the battleship fleet, were diverted and ordered de­ livered as quickly as their speed ca­ pacity could take them to the scene of suffering and want. The money will be sent to Italy as needed, probably $100,000 at a time. Relief Steamer Chartered. Rome.--Ambassador Griscom and the members of the American relief committee have signed a contract for the acquisition for two weeks of the Austrian Lloyd steamsmp Oceania. The steamer is of 6,000 tons and can accommodate 1,400 steerage and 100 first-class passengers. She is now be­ ing fitted out, and when ready 10,000 persons can be taken care of aboard for ten days. In addition, food sup­ plies will be distributed ashore to sev­ eral thousand people. Ambassador Griscom Monday deliv­ ered to Count Taverna, head of the Italian Red Cross, $250,000 from the American Red Cross. Count Taverna was overwhelmed and said he would make an exception to the rule which forbids the distribution of- money through any but Red Cross channels, and returned to the ambassador $2,000 which he had contributed to the ex­ penses of the relief ship. Ail the World Helps. Rome.--All the civilized World iB helping Italy in the tremendous task of caring for the survivors of the fearful earthquake that devastated rCalabria and Sicily and destroyed about 200,000 lives. The relief work Is becoming sys­ tematized, and food, clothing and med­ ical supplies are being taken to the •stricken districts by soldiers and oth­ ers to the half-starved people. From countless cities of Europe and Amer­ ica money and supplies are being sent In generous quantity. American Committee in Rome. Mr. Griscom, the American ambas­ sador, in order to be ready in case his suggestion as to the manner of con­ ducting the American relief work for the earthquake sufferers is accepted, selected a committee of Ameri­ cans here to which will be in­ trusted the work of carrying out his plans. Mr. Griscom himself will be president of the committee, and its other members will be George Page, treasurer; Nelson Gay, secretary; Samuel Parrish of New York, William Hooper of Boston, and Lieut. Reginald R. Belknap, naval attache to the Amer­ ican embassy. Dr. Bastianelli, the phy­ sician to the royal household, will also act with the committee. If Mr. Griscom is provided with $150,000 the committee will be able to charter a large steamer, equip it with nurses, doctors and supplies of all kinds and keep it running as a hospital and relief ship for two weeks between the stricken cities in the south and those points where refugees can be re- ceived and accommodated. Griscom's Plan Praised. Italians who have heard of the plan of the American ambassador pro­ nounced it a most praiseworthy one and a practical way of showing the spirit of charity and sympathy of Americans toward Italy in this hour of need. Count Taverna, president of the Italian Red Cross society, to whom Ambassador Griscom presented $70,000 from the American Red Cross, said the project was one to be greatly com­ mended and he expressed the most grateful sentiments toward America and Americans for the aid they had sent and are still sending. America Leads In Aid. The United States is far ahead of other nations in the relief work. Sun­ day Ambassador Griscom succeeded in finding an Austrian Lloyd steamer of 8,000 tons capable of carrying 1,200 passengers. He chartered the steamer for two weeks and it was leaded with medical supplies and provisions. This will cost $50,000. It was expected that the steamer would sail from Civ- lta Vecchia about fifty miles from Rome, on Thursday. It will be placed under the orders of the Italian gov­ ernment. In addition to supplies, the Ameri­ can relief vessel will embark six doc­ tors and 20 male and female nurses, three of the latter being American girls from New York who volunteered their services. American energy has been strongly manifested in the work looking to the relief of the earthquake sufferers. Ambassador Griscom and the members of the committee have assuntetf personal responsibility for the expenses of the expedition, rely­ ing upon the American public for funds. King and Queen Return. Having done all that it was possible to do in the districts laid waste by the earthquake, the king and queen of Italy have returned to Rome. They have spent the last four days among the ruins of Sicily and Calabria, the king directing the work of rescue and relief and the queen ministering to the injured. There is a feeling of relief in Italy that their - majesties have come home. In a dispatch from Messina to Pre­ mier Giolittl, the king said: "To-day I visited the Calabrlan coast south of Regglo. I found Pellario lit­ erally destroyed, but Meiito seems to have been btit slightly damaged. "It has stopped raining. At Messing the municipal archives were burned. Troops are arriving and little by little order is being restored and the public services re-established. I again rec­ ommend to you the Isolated villages on the Calabrlan coast." Guards Kill Looters. Both at Messina and Regglo the guards are having difficulty in protect­ ing the survivors and the vast treas­ ure in the ruined buildings from the bands of thieves that are swarming everywhere. It is reported that six Russian sailors have been shot by loot­ ers at Messina and that 16 criminals have been killed at the same place within 24 hours. Six hundred persons engaged in pillaging have been ar­ rested since Saturday. In an engage­ ment at Reggio between the police and bandits, two of the police were killed. Reports still reach here of the con­ tinuance of earthshocks, some of which -are of sufficient.force to do fur­ ther great damage. According to these reports, new shocks Saturday at Pel­ lario precipitated the entire population into the sea, including both the dead and living victims of the first quake. At Reggio the people are becoming more calm and aid to that city is now being systematically forwarded. Mili­ tary zones have been established throughout Calabria. Hospitals Are Made Ready. Great advance has been made in the preparations for the relief work «4n connection with the bringing of suf­ ferers from the devastated districts^ The hospital which is being prepared within the Vatican will contain 300 beds. The papal doctors will be in attendance and they will be assisted by sisters and nurses. The pope has undertaken the entire expense of the charity. The Press club has also opened a hospital, while many, ladies of the aristocracy will receive in their pri­ vate houses a certain number of the wounded. Princess Borghese Is the leader of the latter movement and she has had transformed three large rooms In her palace Into an infirmary. Number of Injured Removed. Funeral masses for the victims were celebrated in the /churches of Rome Sunday. Official figures give the number of injured transported fron* the earthquake zone to various ports up to Saturday by the Italian warships as 10,370; by the JBrltlsh war­ ships, 1,209; by the German, 900, . and by the Russian, 880. A censorship has been established at the important points in the south and the foreign correspondents are be­ ing greatly hampered in the forward­ ing of their dispatches. The censor­ ship is seriously affecting both tele­ graphic and telephonic communication. 6tromboll Island Shaken. Naples.--The Herald correspondent at Stromboli telegraphs that at 5:22 o'clock Sunday morning there was a strong undulatory earthquake from north to southwest and from east to northeast. The shock lasted 32 sec­ onds. At the same time the volcano began to send out streams of lava, ac­ companied by prolonged subterranean explosions.' Many houses were dam­ aged seriously, some being rendered uninhabitable. There was a terrible panic, the inhabitants abandoning their houses in spite of the intense cold. There were, however, no victims. A telegram sent by the prefect of Messina to the minister of the interior stated that the number of victims in Messina would number four-fifths of the total population--that 1b 120,000. In fact, the most pessimistic esti­ mates of the disaster turn out to be far below the truth. Red Cross Cables $100,000 More. Washington.--In response to the suggestion of the Italian Red Cross society that a vessel might be loaded at Genoa with provisions and sent to the scene of the earthquake disaster, thus (giving quick relief to the desti­ tute, the American National Red Cross Sunday night cabled $100,000 with the suggestion that it could be used by the Italian Red Cross society for the purpose of fitting out a ship with provisions and medical supplies. This amount is in addition to the $100,000 and the $70,000 previously sent by the American Red Cross. <4am '-r - . •** • i 4J>- "f. -VV,; GREAT CONSERVATOR, COUGHS AND COILDS* I Took Pe-ru-na. o"T®k» JR., OF ®rrftoft, SIOOTS HIMSELF. co*<;*»;5 WAS FMANCJAL I Illness UEADER Amcrica 8 Held Responsible for His as His Business Affair#^' ee in * Excellent Condition.

FLEET ENTERS SUEZ CANAL BATTLESHIP3 BEGIN THE PAS­ SAGE THROUGH CHANNCL. Egyptian Visit Cut 8hort by .Italian Disaster--Supply Ships 8ent Ahead with Aid for Victims. Suez.--The United States Atlantic battleship fleet, completing two days ahead of its schedule the next to the longest run of Its world-girdling cruise, arrived here Sunday morning from Colombo, a distance of 3,440 knots, from which place the fleet sailed on December 20. The stately array of battleships was an impressive sight. The weather was splendid and the bay was crowded with craft, the occupants of which gave an enthusiastic welcome to the .ships. Despite their long trip, the war­ ships looked as smart and trim as though turned out for a naval review. Universal regret was expressed here that the visit of the battleships was so brief. A contingent of 500 officers and men left by special train for Cairo in the afternoon. The converted cruiser Yankton en­ tered the canal Sunday afternoon and the supply ship Culgoa passed in Sun­ day night. The former has a niftnber of doctors aboard and the latter a large supply of provisions and stores. Both will go to Messina at full speed. All arrangements were made by wire­ less for the ships of the fleet to pass through the canal as quickly as pos­ sible and to coal at Port daid, where 25,000 tons are stored. The authorities he.d made arrange­ ments for the battleships to have right of way for a clear run through the canal. The Connecticut, Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota entered the canal at six o'clock Monday morning and ar­ rived at Port Said at ten o'clock Mon­ day night. The second group, consist­ ing of the Louisiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and Virginia entered Tues­ day, and the third line, composed of the Wisconsin, Kearsarge, New Jer­ sey, Rhode Island, Georgia and Ne­ braska, will start Wednesday. At Port Said the crews will coal the bat­ tleships with all possible speed, so as to be In position to go quickly to Mes­ sina if it is finally determined to send them there. O T" TROUBLE IN BANANA BELT? Rumor That Nicaraguan Army Marching on Honduras. '«• • New Orleans.--The Times-Democrat publishes a story based on reports re­ ceived from Central America which are to this effect: * "Nicaragua is marching troops from the frontier into the vicinity of Cholu- teca, Honduras, to overthrow the gov­ ernment of Miguel Davila, president of Honduras. It is reported that the Nicaraguan, Dr. Arrias, has recently received almost $40,000 In army sup­ plies, medicines, etc., shipped by se­ cret agents of Zelaya in this city, and that all preparations are being made for a long campaign." Washington.--Reports of expedition­ ary movements in Central America, have led to a close watch of the situ­ ation by the Washington government, and acting under orders from the navy department at the request of Secretary Root the gunboat Dubuque Sunday sailed from Havana for Bluefields. Her presence in the neighborhood of Nicar­ aguan territory will have a reassuring effect in the event that any trouble occurs in that section. * ' " Chinese Ask for Protection.
