EMPIRE'S DEBT TO UNEMPLOYED, EX-SERVICE MEN.
AN INFLUENITAL MEETING.
LONDON, January 18. *Warriors' Day," a movement by which every house of entertainment in the United Kingkom will give a matinee on March 31 in aid of Field Marshal Haig's fund for ex-Service men, was inaugurated at a meeting at Drury Lane presided over by Sir Arthur Pinero and attended by the Prince of Wales, Earl Beatty, Earl Haig, Sir Hugh. Trenchard, Miss Ellen Terry, Sir John Hare, Sir Squire Bancroft and other notable people. Eaft Beatty said that they were not asking for charity but to help Britishers in paying their debt to those who suffered in preserving the Empire Ear! Haig declared that ex-Service men's troubles were increasing instead of dimini- shing A few weeks ago there were 250,000 officers and men for whom no place could be found in the community. Their number today was Larger.
"
Sir Alfred Butt, in moving a vote of thanks to the Prince of Wales, paid a tribute to his services. He described him theatrically as
az ideal leading man." The Prince of Wales, speaking after Earl Haig,' said that from his experience on active service and his journey" of tens of thousands of miles through the Empire since the war, he could affirm that the cause of the ex-Service man was at present second to none in national importance. "When the country was at war we did not forget the cten who fought and gained the victory which maintained our freedom. Our instinct should not be different now."

The Armenian Soviet, backed by Moscow, is also reported to have demanded the immediate evacuation of Kars, and the withdrawal of all Turkish troops to the 1914 frontiers of Armenia and full and immediate reparation for the damage done by Turkish troops in Armenia.

NEW YORK, January 19.

DECEASED OFFICEES STATE-
MENT.
ADMIRAL GLEAVES INTERVIEWED,
An Associated Press message from Washington on January 13 stated- Admiral Gleaves. commander-in- chief of the Asiatic feet, who is now in Manila, reported to the Navy Department to-day that the Japan ese commander at Vladivostok had issued orders that hereafter sen- tries must not challenge Americans.
The Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Shidebara, said that the sentry, who is very ignorant, has been arrested and will be court-wartialled..
Lieutenant Langdon in a statement before he died said that he was returning to his ship, using his hand lamp. When epposite the Japanese division headquarters, the sentry ran across the street, taking a position to charge, beyond to the left and six feet · in front. Langdon said that he halt- ed until the sentry said "America noski" Replying, he said, he was walking past the sentry and when six feet beyond, the sentry fired on him, the ball striking him in the back. Langdon then said he fired two re- volver shots. The sentry, he said, permitted him to return to his abip.
Admiral Gleaves reported to the Navy Department that Lieutenant. Langdon was in full uniform, the cloth wounds showing that he was shot in the back.
Admiral Gleaves, interviewed by an Associated Press représentative- made the following statement:
"I will appoint a board of senior American officers to investigate the shooting of Lieutenant Langdon as soon as full advices are received from the "Albany," and I will proceed in the "Huron," with the board to Vladivostok, as soon as the "Huron." which is undergoing an overhauling, la ready for sea
*Japanese bigh. officials at Vladi- vostok have expressed in every way possible their deepest regrets and 'condolences, and have given assur- ance of a prompt, full and open in- vestigation of the affair." "Admiral Gleaves said that in case. it became necessary to leave for Vladivostok before the repaire were completed on the "Huron,” he would proceed in a destroyer to Shanghai and from there go to", Vladivostok on board the cruiser "New Orleans. He expected the re- pairs on the "Huron, to be completed within four days, making it uprecessary to take the round about route to Vladivostok. At this time of year it would be impracticable to send a destroyer to the Siberian pors, as it would be unable to make is way through the ice.
