There have been thos who have adve- cated thi certain of the khips under construction be utilized for the bullding of passenger liners. They have pointed out that such a use cowld be profitadly made of them and there can be no ques- tion but what it would be an economie solution of merit it it were a fact that such a change was practical. Suggest- ing =moh a théng does mot imsure that it could actually be dome. Thus far it does not appear that any of the advocates of the plan are ready to gumarantee the transformatien. Scrapping of course can be done In various ways. It would be possible to take the ships out to midocean and sent them to the bottom quite the smme as many of the German warships were dis- posed of to the distress of tNe British In Scapa Flow. It would be possible to use them for targets for other ships or alrplanes as was done by ‘this country in disposing of the German warships that were allotted to the United States, and it would be possible to take them apart and wse the material for funk.

It was believed that the material ought to be saved for conversion to othar uses, and n view of its limited supply it {s highly probable that such will be the view that Japan will take of scrapping. What should it aend to the bottom iren and steel that it has to import from other countries? Why should any ecountry waste material which can be reworked 2t a saving? Scrapping of the warships will Fean A loss mnd it Is desirable that this loss should be kept to the minimum by util- izing for other purposes the materfal in the vessels which must go, and that can be done through the serap heap. / AIDING THE NEWCOMERS. In setting forth a plan for changes in the quarters for immigrants at El- lis island and the inauguration of new policles concerning the treatment and handling of the newcomers it is to be realized that the intentions are in ac- cord with what ought to be expected in the handling of human beings who are in the unfortunate position of being in a strange land, In many cases dependent upon Interpreters to communicate Wwith the efficials and unfamiliar with our cus- toms or What is expected of them. it !s unfortunate that many who must gn back eannot be informed of their inabil- ity to qualify before they leave the other side and thue be prevented from taking the round trip aeross the Atlantie, but until that is provided for the best means of meeting th® sitdation that exists must be resorted to. ’ The changes which are to be made in- clude the ampointment of a director of weitare, the naming of interpreters trained in social work for service among those awaiting inspection, the inter- chance of permissible . communications Hetween immigrants and" their friends, better quarters for women and children with a trained dietitlan for the chlidren, welfare workers to aid after examina- tions have been passed, religious services for those of different religions and the explanation to allens and their friends of the reasons for their inablility to ob- tain admittance. Theke betterments are suggested as the result of a survey with particular reterence to Fllis island, at which point the bulk of the immigrants arrive, but it is in the interest of justice to the aliens that it is also announced that the needs of other ports will get the atten- tlon of the investigation committee with a view to bringing about whatever mea ures of rellef are found to be necessary. It has come to be appreciated that more attention needs to be given to thoss who are coming to this country to make their homes, if they are going to' become | good citizens, and it eannot be overlook- ed that it the fuli measure of service is going to be rendered it can well be|| started from the moment the aliens set foot on American soil.

Famous Trials TRIAL IN CONSPIRACY AGAINST GERMAN EMPEROR When Emperor Wililam and his family and all the leading miembers of his court assisted at the dedication of the Nieder- Rudesheim on Sept. for some time ati-n, and - who were convietel and sen- tenced later been able to successfully carry out there scheme they would have practically wiped out the royal family of Germany, as well as the country’s great- est statesman. 3 The statue the Emreror and his suite had, gone to dedicate cost $250,000, is kniwn as Germania, and stand o | inence on the Rhine known as Rhu.” / short time after the dedication It was fered that there had been a plot to murder the Emperor, the conspirators IE a drain across foad over se cmperor had t pass, which was filled with dynamite The explosives elth- er missed fire or the courage of the con- yiratirs failed them at the last moment.

The chief conspirators were very an- gry at the second failure, and whén the road was clear of peonle they removed the dynamite to the Grand Pavilion at Rudesheim, where a eoncert was in pro- gress. "he rmesecfiion regarded the state- ments of Ruzach as inventfons for the purpose of exculpating himeelf. On this first day's trial a constable deposed that Bachmann had confessed that Reinsdorff promised him pay for exploding the mine. A tinemith fdentified Reinsdorff as the man who bought the bokxés of him that contained the dynamite found.at Eiber- fleld. Reinsdorf’s hold confession on the sec- ond day of the trial compelled the judges to frequently interfere and rebuke him. He admitted that he had persuaded Rupsch and Kuchter to join him, and that_he gave them the necessary In- structions as to the handling and the Dlacing of the dvnamite, and boldly add- ed that If he had not been fll he himselt would probably havs committed the ag- sassination at Niederwald.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1821 Thick and Thin Halr. The color of hair is an acourate meas- ure of a certain classification of charac- ter tendencles. The coarseness or fina- ness of the hair tells yet another story of character. On the luxuriance of the growth of hair devends still another set of conclu- sions in your character reading. And by combining the three you'll 'be sur- prised at the number of thi=g& you can learn about a man or woman—just from the halr. Be careful, however, not to judge ex- clusively by the hair on the head. Some- times it does not belong upon the head on which you see it. Sometimes it be- longs there, and isn't there, for scalp diseases are guite common, and are re- sponsible for many a thin ‘“iead of hair” Which normally should be thick. Obsérve the hair of the head by al means, but modify your reading iof it by the character of the hair on the hands and arms, for there it is not sub- ject to scalp diseases and is luxurious or thin by nature. A luxuriant growth of halr, partieu- larly when it oceurs .o nother parts of the bodv than the head, indicates viril- ity, vitality and constitutional strength. even though the individual may not be muscular.” A thin or seattering growth tells of a body that js not rugged con- stitutionality, and is lacking in_endur- ance, though it may be originally sound and muscularly strong.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Debs and His Supporters Mr. Bditor: Having read all the cor- Tespondence in your paper, I dv not.s:e that any one has calied Mr. Debs a bad man—nor 4 man destilute of natural af- fection. sr; Debs’ crime is that he didn't help win the war, but rather obstructed that help all within his power and now that he has been pardoned with ut penitence and is abusing the national clemency, we consider this enough to forfel: the support | of all loyal Americans. Of course he sas sympathizers who are not ashamed to express .it over their signatures. Their modesty seeks no screen, and they shculd expect no par- ticylar consideration. They have a right to put up whatever defence they think they have—and they are expected to read replies with the_same equanimity which is shown to them. This is the part of good debaters and good letter writers. Mr. Debs has supporters in Norwich, and the danger of such a man as Debs lies more in his followers tham himeef. This is a well knewn fact, THe ringlead- er in a riot may be arrested and cared for, but the trouble with the aftermath of those who are affécted with his distemper and who are ready to do more than pat the man on the back, is what gives the trcuble to a society and unbalances all au- thorty and peace.

It wasn't. To see what should have been the crowning occa- sion of the year to thoss children turn- ed into a confused comidexity of excite- ment was a positive grief. The room was small, the too tree was decorted in a most and Inartistic way; vards of cloth on which Santa Claus pictures, had been printed for the Christmas trade were stretched along the walls: various paper fells, wreaths and festcons were hung on avaflable pieces of furniture and a profusion of gifts littered the floor, chairs and tables. I took stock of these as 1 gazed. supposedly spell-bound with interest and deiight. T saw at once that quantity not ouality had beem the demi- nant idea and that a grow» of grown people had been dnjoying themselves with | littie consideratior, of the children's rea: needs and desires. There were breakable dolls in imorac ticable pinks and h*ueés; there were num- berless toys having neither play value nor educational content. Handkerchiefs, hair ribbons, dish towels, socks and neckties had all been glven a part.in the scheme of decorations.
