It holds that under no cir- cumstances should any of them be sold back tg the Germans. A vote to that effect was taken at a meeting of the Council just held to decide what dis- position should be made of the vessels | remaining in the possession of the | British govefnment. Lord Inchcape, who has been in- trusted with the sale of the vessels on behalf of the Reparations Commission, said that 168 German ships had been privately disposed of to British na- tionals, but a good number still re- mained to be sold and the demand for them, owing to the slump in the shipping trade, had slackened. It had been suggested that some arrange- ment might be considered whereby the market for the ships might be thrown open to the whole world. One Newcastle shipowner aflirmed that England would be disgraced in the eves of the world, if, after all her commerce had suffered from Ger- man submarines, any of the German ships were allowed to go back to | Germany, particularly at the present prevailing low prices, 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.) w into 'a Andrew J.

Curtis has heen r zarded as the best posted man. om municipal affairs in this city. Thou- sands have praised his fearlessnéss and his apparent unswerving adher- ence to the stgict letter of the law; and have applauded his attacks upon those who strayed from the straight path of duty. He always had the facts. He was a thorn in the sides of Mayors Landers, Halloran .and Quigley. He assalled the municipal potato planting, the Town Farm barn, the squandering ot funds, and the conduct of all city de- partments. He was so firmly wedded to the strict adhecrence to the laws and ordinances that he openly and vehemently opposed an appropriation of city tunds for a trip to Boston to welcome home the soldiers from France. We admired and applauded his rectitude gnd we elected him our Mayor. Our Mayor proceeded to clean house. He removed and found cause for removing. through a strict inter- pretation of the laws and ordinances, mapy members of commissions. Again we applauded him and said, “It is well, that we need worry no longer, Curtis is on the job, ‘A Daniel come to judgment,’ this city will be man- aged as il should be managed." One year has elapsed and Curtis reigns: hut we of a year ago have had a rude awakening. Instead of the Martinet, the ddvocate, and ‘the great protector we now have the GREAT APOLOGIST. Dr. Harris becomes in- volved In the Geodrich mess—Curtis apologizes. Dr. Harris advises some- one to break the laws—Curtis apolo- gizes. We had a city meeting and Curtis manned the roadroller and drove over us. Two years ago the legislature auth- orized the issuance of $300,000 park bonde. This year the board of finance and taxation authorized the sale of $100,000 of these bonds. Six weeks ago the Common Council authorized the spending of $60,000 of this sum on the parks to give work to the un- employed. Now Curtis apologizes and explains that the park comimissioners have no plans. broken- they've If the park commissioners have no plans in Heaven's name what have they been doing? They have had at least two years and they must have made some statement of plans to the Legislature to secure the authority to issue bomds. If they. have no plans why have they no plans? Why have they not been removed? When will they have plans? Is Curtis telling the truth when he says they have no plans? What of the maps. for the swimming pool in the north end and the athletic field in the south.end? Is it possible that they do not see the necessity for repairing the baseball diamonds at Walnut Hill park? Must people die before they can ob- tain work and must able-bodied men g0 on.the pauper list while commis- sioners dream and mayors apologize? And now we are to have a census tak- en of the unemployed. It is to ‘be taken by the registrars. Are they to be: paid for this work? If not why not? Were they paid for the work caused by the 7,000 additional women voters? If not, why not? Curtis. rose to his present position by a political life of persistent scold- ing and critiéism. of all public officials. Now he denies the honest exercise of that same. privilege to all others. Dehm, Gill and Paonessa are in a sense, outlaws because they dare raise their voices in protest against his back-splitting, side-stepping, quib- bling, and lack of ‘poise in conducting out city government. I, for one, do not want apologies or subterfuges, 1 want action. 1 prefer the public scold to the GREAT APOL- OGIST. 4 I am not a Bolshevist, Simonite or a Crepe Hanger, but unless there is a definite change for the better in our city administration I - will next year, through the medium of the ballot box, aid in hanging political crepe on the GREAT APOLOGIST'S DOOR.
