MORE TROUBLE
WITH JOHN BULL

Washington. April A SHARP
issue between the United States aud
Great Britain confronted the cabinet
today as u result OF the British gov
ernment's refusal 20 liberate Ger
mans taken from the American liner
China on the high seas.
The Issue which has come 10 life
again Is the same that has been dis
puted for more than century. II
was partly responsible for one war
between the United States and the
British.
Most OF the cabinets time was de-
voted to the note. again protesting
the seizure OF Germans. There was
hardly any discussion OF the threat
ened ruction with Germany over the
Sussex disaster. as no new informa-
ton concerning II was available.
The refusal to surrender the Ger
mans was surprising. inasmuch as
both Great Britain and France COM
piled with American demands In
three previous similar instances. II
was pointed out. however. that the
British never admitted this govern
ment had right to make such re-
quests.
Great Britain, the United States
contends, has no more right TO take
aliens OF an American vessel than
II would have to invade this coun-
try's territory with armed forces for
the purpose OF taking foreigners
seeking refuge here.

sues Statement on Its Work.
The International Child Welfare
league has issued a statement show
ing what success it was able to achieve
in it's home garden movement for chill
dren last summer with the proceeds Of
a flower ball which it held last spring
The statement reads in part:
The International Child Welfare
league, in conjunction with the bureau
Of education of Washington, has been
studying the introduction of Commis.
sioner P. P. Claxton's plan of the
home garden under school supervision
as a substitute for child labor. The
experiment wass tried in Westchester
county, N. Y. last summer and has
been SO successful that the Welfare
league is cooperating with all educa
tional leagues in pushing the work.
The school garden and the home gar
den are often confused. The former is
community affair, with teacher 10
oversee the whole plot, This plan Is
an excellent one for collective instruc
ton and is recommended for chill
dren who have no home garden. The
value of the home garden lies in the
fact that the parents take more pride
in the work of the child and with its
economic results, which are more read
lily seen in the home than when the
garden is at some distant point.
Tarrytown, N. Y, raised privatel,
sufficient money, coupled with az
amount contributed by the Interna
tional Child Welfare league, to star
the work with teacher in the Wash
ington Irving high school and also il
the North Tarrytown high school. II
this town the work WAS systematically
organized under the Claxton plan, ant
its success has led to it's adoption b!
the board of education as part of thu
regular school work in the comm,
year.
The fact that the work is done afte
| school hours and continued into th'
summer vacation period makes it cas-.
to fit into the curriculum of an,
school, and the happy results in it
| bearing on health and morals make
most valuable adjunct to school edu
cation.

HOW VALDEZ BOASTS US

People who are prone to cavil at corporations and pine for government ownership of public utilities should be forced to live in Anchorage or Sew ard. Anchorage recently installed an electric light plant under government supervision for which 15 cents per kilowatt is charged for light services. Valdez secures better service for half that price. Seward collects two dol lars per ton wharfage against $1.6O per ton in Valdez. Railroad rates on the ice-bound government road are higher than any on the North Ameri- can continent for both freight and passengers.
