In his ?peech from the throno at the opening of the Turkish parliament last Monday, tho sultan referred to "Turkey' mistake In entering the war on the Teutonic fildo," according to reports of the speech just received here from Constantinople. The. speech, read by th minister of the interior because of Its Indisposition of the sultan, dwelt at length on the fact that while the armistice had been in effect for four months, the forces ff the allies still occupied certain parts of the empire. (.reck occupation of Smyrna, the sultan said, increased tho difTlcultlcs. but he added: "It is unnecessary at this time to explain the gravity of our situation. Prudence, clear slphtedncss, firmness and patriotism ouKht to lead us to safety and Kuecess." IRISH FRIENDS BUYfflOONDS Raise $1,010 at Meeting SundayCampaign Continues for Week.

Mr. Sullivan will have charge of the campaign and hopes to reach the quota by next Sunday night. John J. Hayes, secretary of the Friends of the Irish Freedom read a communication from Prank P. Walsh, of New York, chnlrman of the loan committee and a special comunlcation from James K. Deery, of Indianapolis, chairman of tho Indiana loan committee. ;he History of Krin. .11 ev. Cornelius Hagerty, professor of philosophy at the University of Notro Dame, delivered a short talk outlining the history of Ireland and the necessity of lending linancial aid at this tlme. He said: "If Ireland docs not sustain the republic which has been in existenco since 191 S at this time, then it may come true that our boy's died In vain on Flanders Heids." He showed how the Unled States had entered the war with the one purpose of makln gthe world safe for democracy and the freedom of small nations. Now that a republic has been established a;d is unmolested by England, he said It was possible that in time Kngland might recognlxe the republic and remove her machine guns. Honor to Aid. Sen. Charles Hagerty said that it was ;m honor to .aid the striving republic at this time and was a good time to make a. roll of honor for those who contributed their support by purchasing bonds. Nelson Oalbrnith gave a brief history' of the predjudices that dominate the enemies of Ireland and said in part: "I was born in predjudiee, but freedom and the free air of America made me see things in a fuller and clearer light and that is why I am here today talking in favor of the Irish people. I want to see them secure their nation independence although I am an Orangeman by decent. Among othr spt aki rs on the program were: Lawrence Lane, Panic!

The special train carrying to the horder of ifoviot P.ussla, Emma Goldman, Alexander Jlerkman and 2 4 7 other radicals, deported from the United States as undeslrntde aliens wa.i speeding Sunday night towards Terijoki, about two miles from the frontier. Finnish white guards are stationed on each car platform. Thirty of the radicals are in each car. The business of transferring the party from the United States army transport Puford, which brought the undesirables to Hang), to the special train was quickly accomplished. The officials aboard the Puford were so well satisfied ulth the preparations made by th Finnish officials that It was decided not to send a military detachment with the party, nor did Immigration Commissioner Berkshire consider it necessary to accompany It. The Pufor.l is expected to sail for Antwerp on Monday. Party Confident. Tho officers of the Uuford informed the correspondent that there was not any reason to believe the bolshevik! would refuse any member of tho party. The deportees themselves did not appear apprehensive, Fmma Goldman saying; she believed the bolshevlki had been informed of their coming by courier, and that she though her old Chicago friend "Pin" Shateoff, now military commissioner of Petrograd, would probably be at the frontier to receive the party. Hoth the Puford's officers and the: radicals are confident that the party will be permitted to mter soviet Russia by the direct route across the bridge near TeriJokl. llcrkman'a final word to the correspondent as he boarded the train were: "Well, boys, I hope to sec you soon In a free country." waving his hand eastward toward Russia. Miss Goldman talked freely of her future plans. "I'll pet nlons .ill right with the bolshevik!. he Raid. "I lon't intend to try to impose my anarchistic ideas on them. Twenty years ago Krnest Crosby founded in the United States th American Friends of Russian Freedom.

Two representatives of the American consulate at Helslngfcrs. who came to Hango to execute powers of attorney for 150 members of the party are accompanying the train to iheh frontier. It is estimated that the members of the party have a quarter of a million dollars deposited in American banks. The powers of attorney, however, provide for the disposition of only $47,000. Fach member of tho party is provided with rations for five days. As It is unlkely the radicals will be able to find conveyances across the frontier, they are worried over the question of transferring their heavy lugpage.

ASKS MILITARY TRAINING FOR AMERICAN BOYS
Senator Wadsworth Declares it Would Provide National Security. BECOMES EFFECTIVE IN 1920 V IvOUIS IA7PTXW, T i nym Waahhlnston Correapondent WASHINGTON. Jan. is. There are indications that universal military training In the United States is nearer than ever before. It looks now as if the plan for military training proposed by the sub-committee of the senate committee on military affairs and Incorporated In the military bill Just Introduced in the senate by Sen. Wadsworth, chairman of the committee, will meet with favorable consideration by congress. A new idea, that of Americanization, has been introduced In the proposed plsn. The paramount object of the proposed training Is to make firt -class Americans of the young men of the country, whether they were born within the United States or out of It. Another Idea behind thep lan is that It will tend to prevent the development of castes. The framers of th': legislation were advised by many thoughtful men nnd women from out over the country when they consulted that the tringing together of all the young men of the country for training purposes would terd to bring about a better understanding between the rich and the poor, the so-called highborn and the so-called low-born. National Security. No effort is to be male to conceal the fact that the. ultimate purpose of the training plan Is national security, but It is believed great Immediate pood will result from the Americanization features of the plan. The legislation as It ntands In th" Wadsworth bill provides that all young men on reaching the age of 18 years, or within three years thereafter, shall bo subject to military or naval training and shall be Inducted Into the army or navy for this purpose. Tho proposed legislation Is made applicable to all young men who have declared their intention to become citizens. The total period of training Is fixed at four months. The young man may eiert to take this training year by year, that Is to say, one month each year, or he can wait until the third year to begin training; that is to say. instead of beginning at IS he can wait until he Is 21 nnd then take the four month's training In two years. Under regulations that may be prescribed by the president any young man may take two months' additional training In the four years. If he desires It. I'very young man will have the privilege of saying whether he desires to train in tne army or navy. Il(omcs infective. It is proposed that the new training system shall become effective during the calendar year beginning Jan. 1, 1921. Any male alien who has been a resident of the United States for not less than one year and Is qualified to become a citizen In all respects except residence, and who if a citizen would be liable for training, say with his consent and under such regulations as may b" prescribed be Inducted into the service for training purposes. An alien who takes advantage of this opportunity for training will, on the completion of the training, receive a certificate which will enable him to apply for naturalization within six months and he will not be required to comply with any of the other provisions of the naturalization law. In case an alien resident shall claim and secure exemptions from the military training cn the ground of alienage, except where he is expressly exempted by treaty, he shall forever be barred from becoming a citizen of th United States. Educational training is made a prominent feature of the Wadsworth ("CONTINUED ON PAGH TU'O.) 'Flu" Baffles French Medics PARIS. Jan. 18.
