Another German Raider at
Newport News

Newport News, Va, April H..
The German converted cruiser
kronprinz Wilhelm, another of
those elusive raiders of com
merce in the south seas, slipped
into this port today and asked
for fuel and provisions. Many
times reported destroyed, the
former North German Lloyd
liner eluded the warships for
eight months while she sent
merchantmen to the bottom and
her officers say she was forced
to steal her way through a fleet
OF four allied cruisers off this
coast in order to reach this
refuge.
I'VE got in without being seen
by the enemy and we Can get
out the same way" declared her
commander, Lieut.. Capt. Paul
Thierfelder, formerly navigating
officer of the German cruiser
Karlsruhe. When she anchored
off Old Point the Wilhelm had
less than 25 tons of coal and
scant provisions for the crew of
500 men and 81 prisoners from
British merchant sunk in the
South Atlantic. The drab paint
ed 15,000-ton cruiser came with
record of rs merchant ships
captured, IA OF them sunk, nine
British, four French, and one
Norwegian. The British ship
Chasehill, captured, was allowed
to proceed taking to shore more
than 800 prisoners from previ-
GUS raids.
The values of these ships and
their cargoes, officers of the
Wilhelm tonight estimated at
$7,o0O,OOO.
Since she slipped out of New
York harbor August 3, last, as
German merchant and passen-
ger sailor, the Wilhelm never

Doina Away With Smoke.

Public opinion is setting strongly
against the contamination of the air
we breathe with coal smoke. A gen.
eral use OF low-temperature coke would
render the atmosphere Of our cities as
free from pollution as that Of New
York, where 1t is obligatory upon all
inhabitants to burn anthracite or some
other form of smokeless fuel. Through
wantonly wasting the valuable con.
~stituents of coal by burning it raw in
the domestic fireplace we suffer q dou.
BILE penalty. Not only do we pay di.
rectly for the fuel that is discharged
unconsumed up the chimney, but we
pay indirectly a second time in the la
Dor spent in removing It when 1t comes
back to us through the windows in the
form of smuts and dust. We pay, too,
in deterioriated health and obscured
sunshine.
The whole subject affords an inter-
esting illustration of the solidarity of
scientific progress, and demonstrates
forcibly the fact that one advance In
evitably brings another In It's train.
The growth of twentieth century en-
cheering science, which demands oil
In ever-growing volumes. is thus tend
ing to promote a sanitary reform which
Is long overdue.

o~ We
GIVES VIEW OF COMMUNITY
Plan Of Chicago City Club Is to De
velop the Neiehborhood
Spirit.

In the small city or village nothing
in particular is done ordinarily to
stimulate the neighborhood spirit.
That force grows and develops natur-
ally in a small community. People
come to know one another without eff
fort and easily retain their friendships
and acquaintanceships. Thus is pro-
vided a substantial foundation for
community interest, which is another
name for neighborhood spirit.
In a city Of large proportions the
community interest, the neighborhood
spirit, is less apparent and less CO
hesive. There is such an excess Of
humanity all about that unnatural
barriers are anxiously thrown up
against the making Of friends too
readily. Even neighbors living in the
same apartment building remain
strangers for months on end.
Yet a city like Chicago, II 1t is to es.
tablish the cohesive interest that fin
ally produces community interest.
must develop somewhat in terms OF
the neighborhood spirit. Out Of this
comes the broader interest that EN-.
braces the affairs Of the whole city.
This situation gives special value to
the neighborhood center competition
that is about to be featured at the
Chicago City club. The purpose, as
announced, is Ito bring before the
public, in graphic form, the practical
possibilities of enhancing neighbor-
hood life in our cities by better. and
especially better grouped, buildings
and grounds for neighborhood activi-
ties"
This object is a particularly worthy
one. 1t fits in we'll with the public
properties exhibition at the City club.
By this means an opportunity is given
Chicago citizens to obtain a clear idea
Of what they own as a community
their schools, libraries, museums,
streets, bridges, parks. Fairgrounds,
baths, police and fire stations, and so on
The well-informed citizen should
have definite knowledge Of this great
community estate" in which he is a
,tockholder. The exhibition and the
competition, with their incidental
meetings and discussions, should dc
much to establish a broader concept
Of these essential matters.-Chicage
