DR. D. DE SAMPAIO FERRAZ
Dr. D. de Sampaio Ferraz, a Brazilian
editor, Is In the city today to begin a study
of Philadelphia conditions that 1h Intended
to promoto trade between his Government
and ours.
Doctor Ferraz In an Interview today at
the Bellevue-Stratford had enough food
things to say about the United States to nil
a book, and (rood things about Philadelphia,
also. Ho reckoned that Brazil knew it
whole lot more of the thins Philadelphia
la famous for than most Philadelphia!
themselves realize.
Such phrases as the "workshop of the
world," and "things started In Philadel
phia," aro common property down home, he
said, when tlio reference Is to this city
Doctor Kcrraz's principal work In life
Is as an editor of the Jornal do Commerclo,
Itlo de Janeiro, which ho -proudly referred
to as "the seventh minister." By that he
meant an additional Dower of the Govern
K ment, which ,1ms six ministers In the Cab
inet. Whllo' In Philadelphia he may stay
a week Doctor I-'erraz proposes to Investi
gate tho snlnnlnc Industry he Is a tcch-
- nlcal expel t, too and all the conditions of
the port, so as to Increase tne snipping uus
iness. All ships that ply between Brazilian
ports and those of this country now nre
operated by the Government of Brazil, he
aid.
SOME GENTLE CRITICISMS
Doctor Ferraz has some gentle criticisms
for tho United States, but what he says In
. this regard he says In tho most kindly man
ner of his countrymen. For Instance, he
Kf will tell you that America has grown so
E"W fnot that tnn llttln attention has been paid
f1 to tho "exterior," by which ho means the
. manner of doing business. But no says
this Is being corrected, and with the estab
lishment of American bank branches 'more
consideration Is being shown for the busl
noss men In South and Central America.
The distinguished visiting editor notices
Jtere. as at home, that "humanity runs to
pacifism," and he warns that Governments
must bo careful lest they let their ideals get
eo far ahead of them as to destroy all faith
rather than Promote It. "Tho whole object
, of work," he said, "is to further human,
.a "teulture."
f "Do you mean by that," he was asked,
'what thj, npnmina mMn when thev talk
ft Of kultur?"
ft&T "Oh, no,"' he quickly answered, "we spell
Brt'U with a c; they spell It with a k." And
he, wrote the word on a nad and nbovo the
f points of the capital K he drew some
fVearetst "Vou see," ho explained, "they have
?t too' many spikes In thelr's."

GALLIPOLI PROBE
HITS KITCHENER
Late Chiefs Delay Vital
Factor in Failure, Re
port Asserts
WAR COUNCIL CENSURED
LONDON, March S
Upon tho late Lord Kitchener, England's
Idol, and tho early war council was fixed
the blame today for England's Dardanelles
expedition.
A special Investigating committee, ap
pointed in response to parliamentary In
quiries and complaints as to the costly ex
periment against Turkey, made this report
today.
"Although the main object of the expe
dition was not attained," the repoit con
cluded, "certain Important political advan
tages were secured by the expedition
Whether these were worth the loss of life
and treasure Involved must always remain
a matter of opinion "
Discussing the responsibility for the step,
the report adjudged Loid Kitchener respon
sible for three weeks' delay In dispatching
troops to the Dardanelles, thereby "gravely
compromising tne probability of success.
The commission held also that Kitchener
did nt "sufficiently utilize Ihe service of
the general staff, resulting in confusion and
lack of efficiency."
Censure was expressed nt the war coun
cil's failure to hold a meeting between
March 19 and May 14, 1915, and dlscuised
Winston Churchill's advocacy, as First
Lord of the Admiralty, for purely naval ex
peditionary forces.
"Lord Kitchener," the report continued,
"favored a purely naval attack. The com
missioners think the First Lord of the Ad
miralty (then Churchill), the Premier (then
Asqulth) and other councilors should have
required the naval advisers to submit
clea'rly expressed views regarding the prac
ticability of the plan."
The report concludes they were not Justi
fied In reaching a decision on the Darda
nejles plan "without much fuller Investi
gation." Tho Dardanelles campaign was England's
greatest blunder In the war, If not the great
est blunder by any of the Allies. The total
cost In lives and materials has never been
told, but II was btnggerlng.
The nmbltlous scheme of carrying the war
Into Turkey and of capturing Cqnstantl
nopli", permitting Huspla free exit from
tho Black Sea. started with an Entente bom
bardment by Anglo-French fleets on Febru
ary 13. 1B1B. That bombardment continued
on nnd off up until April.
It was on April 2f that tho Allied expe
ditionary forces mado their first landing on
Tuiklsh soil, attacking from the air, the
land and the sea tho Turkish positions on
the peninsula. They quickly enlnrged their
positions. But after the first Initial rush
the Invaders were stopped Advances of
several hundred yards were made In suc
ceeding months, but no great gain as had
been expected. Meanwhile the men broiled
In the desert aridity of the peninsula. The
situation continued almost without change
for three months. The British advanced
considerably; hut they made no sweep of the
Turkish positions The fighting was of the
most desperate character. Australian and
New Zealand troops achieved brilliant lec
ords, but nt tremendous cost,
The fighting continued day after day all
through the summer of 1915 and Into the
fall. Then suddenly on December 21, 1915,
the evacuation of Suvla and Anzac was ac
complished. By January 9 the complete
evacuation of nil the British forces was ac
complished from the Galllpoll positions.
The evacuation was tho most brilliantly
executed military move of the whole cam
paign and the one thing that stands out
as creditable to the strategy of England's
military chief,. It wai accomplished with
no loss and tn the most comprehensive and
complete fashion.
The Galllpoll peninsula was the gravo of
countlccs thousands cf British soldiers
vvhote sacrifice wag totally useless appar
ently. Tho "Important political advantages"
mentioned by the commission as having been
achieved are not clear.
Irish Chiefs Ask
A id of Americans
Continued from I'ace One
"The traged' of the discussion." said the
News, "Is more In the form and spirit of
the Premier's address than Its actual con
tents. The Prime Minister suggested a con
ference of Irishmen on home rule. The
history of the last three years Is a history
of wrecks 6f abortive conferences. After
the events of last July, when, through the
efforts of Unionist Ministers, Itedmond was
betrayed by the Cabinet after risking, his
whole political future for the sake of an
Irish settlement. It Is mere cynicism to send
Redmond back to Ireland for another con
ference. It Is the Government's part, not
Dedmond's, to find a solution for the Irish
problem and to throw the task back on
the Irishmen Is abdicating of a function
that under the conditions prevailing today
can lead only to disaster."
The Dally Chronicle's parliamentary
correspondent wrote a keen-edged criti
cism of Llojd George's reply to the Irish
demands. It wai evident, he said, that
Lloyd George was speaking to the people
of the United States as well as those at
home.
"He harped ao much on Ulster's repug
nance to home rule that the Nationalists
became restive and exclamatory, the Lib
erals silent' and somber and the Conserva
tives noisily approving." he wrote. "Not
once did the Prime Minister appeal to
Ulster to throw in Its lot with the rest of
Ireland."

FOUL PLOT TO BLOW UP SALT WORKS,
LAID TO GERMANS, WINDS UP AS FARCE
"Come to Find Out," It Wasn't a Conspiracy, and the Ger
man Was a Russian His Military Expedition Also
Directed Against Wife and Babies
A "conspiracy" by "Germans" to blow up
the Pennsylvania Salt Works at Greenwich
Pier failed today. It whs foiled.
it lacked one or two of the features of
a German plot.
It wai not a conspiracy nnd no Germans
were connected with It. Ono lone Itusilnn,
drunk with too much of the American
equivalent ot vodka, was In the plot, ac
cording lo the police, who pointed out that
the military advantage In the destruction
of the salt works would be the curtailment
of the salt supply for the United States
army mules.
The alleged arch plotter, Robert Kaush
ner, forty-seven years old. with headquar
ters to tho rear of 31S Balnhrldgc street,
was nt rented at his home last night after a
hot fight with the police, his wife Minnie
and Ernest Sternberg, a boaider. who had
objected to his plans to dynamite the salt
works nnd blow up hla home, wife babies
and boarder. Three sticks of dynamite
and some fuses, found In n trunl. were
taken from the homo liv Police .Sergeant
Clark and Policeman White und gingerly
put In a bucket of water In the Second and
Christian streets station.
Kaushner was held in J3000 ball thu
morning by llaglstiato Imber and taken
to City Hall.
"This man Is a menace," said the Magis
trate. "Aw. Judge, 'tis only a little family
scrap," vainly protested ICnushnei-H invvjer
The man was held on charges suggested
by Assistant District Attorney Taul.uio over
the telephone having dynamite In his pos
session for unlawful purposes nnd with
Intent to endanger persons and pioperty
It was not learned where ho obtained the
djnamlte.
Sternbeig was held In $500 hall ns a ma
terial witness when Magistrate Imbei
learned that he Intended going on a tWhltig
cruise.
Kaushnqr's nrrcst was preceded by n
triangular iiuariel at his home. Kaushner,
according to his wife, displayed the dyna
mite nnd asked Sternberg to Join him In a.
plot to blow up tho salt works, where he
had been eniplojed as laborer Sternberg
told hhn he was a fool. Kuushner, super
sensitive fellow, resented It nnd made nt
Mrs. Kaushner with a knife. Sternberg In
terposed Kaushner, not satisfied with a
black eje which he had presented to the
boarder, announced his Intention of blow-

SEE DOCTOR IF CHILD
HAS A SORE THROAT
Doctor Parrish, School Medical
Supervisor, Issues Warning
to Parents
A w aiulng for parents to seek medical '
advloo immediately when their rhlldieu
complain of soro tin oat was sounded today
by Or Itobert C Parrish, medical sitpei
vlsor.of the first and fourth school districts
in nn address at the Laboratory of Hygiene,
I'nlvcislty of Pennsylvania. Ills subject
was "Tho Suppression of Contagious Dis
eases by School Medical Inspectois.J' '
Doctor Parrish said that because of the
work of the Division of Contagious Diseases
of the Bureau of Health, Philadelphia has
the lowest death late for scarlet fever of
the lep largeH cities of tho United States
and next to tho lowest death rate for diph
theria. Prior to 11112. ho said there
were 3600 cases of diphtheria every year
in Philadelphia This number has been
reduced until now but 2C00 cases occur In a
year. This Is a decrease of 1000 cases of
diphtheria each year.
"Eevry sore throat," he said, "should be
loked upon with suspicion, slnco mild cases
of scarlet fever may show very little rash
when tho child complains of sore throat.
Similarly many children present mild soro
throats in which the Infection proves to be
that of the diphtheria bacillus. Ordinary
tonslllltus Is contagious In a mild degree,
consequently every school child with n spro
throat Is promptly sent home.
"If a case of diphtheria occurs In a school
child nnd the child has been recently pres
ent In tho classroom, throat cultures are
taken of nil the children In the classroom
und these cultures are examined by the
Bureau of Health Laboratory. The class
room Is disinfected by airing It and scrub
