Doubt regarding the maintenance OF
the present rate of dividend has been

today by the Commissioners of the Dis

go to New York city and negotiate directly

Yet, but there is considerable specula-
ton in the District building as to the
chances of DR.. Woodward leaving the
District service and the city where he
was born and which has been the
scene of his professional career. He is
entirely a Washngt onian, and his
parents and grandparents were Wash

DR.. Woodward has been health officer
of the District since 1894. He entered
the District service in 1892 as a physi-

became coroner. He is responsible
largely for the efficient system of san-
tary inspection which has made the
city of Washington a model in many
respects for sanitary experts to follow.

THE ALLIES VIEW
By Albert w. Bryce
Il y II y y \ = = = .

Sometimes one is tempted to think
that the dictum, whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make mad"
applies to empires as we'll as individ-
uals. How else. it may be asked,
can the German treatment of ships
flying the flag of the Netherlands be
accounted for? Is 1t a result Of mere
recklessness or Is 1t deep laid
scheme of Germany to win Titanic
defeat in place of gigantic victory?
There is in many mils1s a notion
that the Kaiser and his circle, real
/! izin,g the impossibility of the enter
prise they embarked upon last Aug
ust of subjugating all western Eur
ope, have deliberately undertaken to
provoke the whole world into wal
upon the. This may mean deeper
defeat, but it tends to glide the
catastrophe with the glamour OF he
roic resistance to Overwhelming
force. The curiosity provocative
tone of German diplomacy TOWARD
our own Government is one OF thu
phenomena giving rise to this idea
The fact apparently fits in with tn
theory; indeed, it is hard to explain
it in any other way.

Tallahassee, April 23-The report
of the board of managers of the
Florida industrial school for boys at
Mariana was transmitted to the
senate by Governor Trammell with
the briefest possible letter of trans

The report is comprehensive and
shows fully what is being accom-
plished at the institution. Accord
ing to the report the number of in
mates April l, 1915, was 225, which
is the average enrolment for the in
stitution.
To maintain the institution the
bord of managers asks that the sum
of $3.50 per annum for each inmate,
based upon the number reported dur
ing the quarter previous, be allowed.
or use lump sum appropriation of
$4,000 for the first year and $780,
900 for the second year be allowed,
so much of which as shall be neces-
sary on the estimate of $3.50 for

board quarterly.

THE GERMAN VIEW.
By Hugo Won Klest.
q q q q q q q q y

Cooperation is favored by all
classes in Germany whatever the mo-
tive and as the cartels are under
such strict supervision that they
cannot exercise the dangerous pow
ers of the trusts in America, there is
no trust problem, at time when our
whole social organization is in tur-
MOL over the struggle.
Cooperation is doing great things
for Germany. Whether it would &C
complish as much for America re-
mains in dqoubt, for without the
spirit of cooperation the instru-
ment must remain comparatively
valueles. But II Germany finds CO.
operation a valuable expedient In
the struggle for commercial advan'
tage, countries which do not have
such an instrument and are not dis
posed to adopt 1t, or to learn how te
use it, must suffer from the effects
of her competition.
&, The loss Of British trade due t.
German efficiency. largely the result
of cooperation, has provoked tn
war. and the British are attemptint
to do with the sword what they can
not do with the instruments o
ppace
