WANTS THE SINKING OF THE
TANKER ARTEMIS BY GER
MANY EXPLA AIMED.
VESSEL WAS RECENTLY
SUNK IN THE NORTH SEA
Dutch Press Now Calls for the
Punishment of German Com
mander Who Is Said to Have
Violated the Law.

THE HAGUE (viaS london Feb.
5.-Dutch newspapers are unani-
nous in demanding from Germany
prompt explanation OF and reparation
for the torpedoing OF the Dutch tank
steamer Artemis by German tor
pedo boat in the North sea. The
newspapers call for punishment of
the German commander responsible
for what is described as violation
of law and an unjustifiable act of war
against The Netherlands.
The Vaderland recalls previous Ger
man "errors" and dwells on the dan
ger of further incidents of this ma
ture. incidentally, it asks what the
British fleet was doing while a con
spicuously colored German torpedo
boat flotilla was calmly cruising the
busiest steamer track i between the
HoOE OF Holland and the Mordhinder
lightship.
Nieuve Courant treats the case as
a breakdown of the "vaunted German
organization and discipline" which it
says seems urgently to need improve
ment, especially from the viewpoint
of the safety of lives and property of
neutrals. 1t demands complete pc
cuniary and political Satisfaction
from Germany, and asks "did the
German flotilla perhaps desire to re-
move all ships from the neighbor-
hood of a sinking Zeppelin and fire
widely and blindly when its plan did
not seem to succeed? This, it says,
might explain the act, though in no
wise eXcusing it.

Berea students earned last year
about forty thousand dollars.
Some Of the ways in which this
was done are the following: Stu
dent clerks and helpers in the Lib
rary earned $1,000; student janitors
in the Chapel and school buildings
earned $500: student boys on the
farm earned s33i5; and in the gar
den Si252; this includes the clear
ing of some land and laying Of
some drains and canning in the
summer: in the Fireside Industries
student girls earned S26S; in the
laundry si3is; in the machine shop
boys earned 1920; in the printing
Office si793; in tile-making 5000;
in the woodwork s5O77; this in
cludes a great deal of work on the
new buildings: i'm the power and
heat plant 1927; in the boarding
hall boys and girls together earned
s7i96: at Boone Tavern s235; CO.
operative store 1901: besides this,
a great deal was earned by those
who were monitors Of buildings
and clerks in the executive offices.
A strong and willing young man
commonly gets eight cents an hour
TO begin with and a girl five cents.
As they increase in skill these
wages are raised so that in three or
four years students are frequently
earning ten, twelve, and even If
teen cents an hour.
And those who are earning are
also learning. The superintend-
ents Of labor are all real teachers
and student who can get a good
recommendation from his superin-
tendent of labor is well started for
a good position in life.
There is of course less labor in
the Winter Term when farm and
building operations have to stop.
But there will be a good chance for
every strong and willing student
this coming year TO get a part of
the fifty thousand dollars which
will probably be earned by students.

Gated people" for even the leaders
Of the commonest trades are highly
trained men. They may not be
trained in many branches Of knowl-
edge. but they must have the latest
knowledge in their special trade.
In order 10 meet the great need
Of special training for various trades
and professions, Berea College is
maintaining many departments es-
pecially adapted for these trades
ard Professions. IL a young man
wishes 10 be carpenter, contrac-
tor, or master builder, he should
come 10 Berea and enter the Carpen-
try Course where many of our
young men have learned a business
that to-day is making them fifteen
hundred or two thousand dollars a
year. If they wish TO become rG-
pert farmers and county agents, they
should enter our course in Agricul-
ture that has made sixteen-hundred-
dollar-a-year men out of ordinary
farm boys. Our Bricklaying Course
during the first summer has raised
the earning power Of young men
from one dollar to four dollars a
day. Similar records have been
made by students Of the Business

Some Christmas
Celebrations

TN many homes the same customs
are followed year after year at
Christmas. Thus In one home
where there are always visitors
for the holidays an enormous square
wicker hamper which has done service
In the same capacity for twenty years
Is brought from the storeroom and
placed In the general hall. Festive hol-
ly wreaths are tied to the handles and
to the top with big red bows, giving 1t
a decidedly holiday appearance. As
gifts arrive they go at once into the
hamper. On Christmas morning after
breakfast the father of the family
opens the hamper and with fitting cere-
mony ana humorous remarks dlstrib-
utes the gifts.

who are interested In the inquiry I'M

ers and investors. as well as railway
men themselves are alive to the fact
that the railway situation Is highly un
satisfactory and that steps must be
taken without unnecessary delay TO
make II possible for the railroads TO
meet the growing needs OF the nation.
From reports received here II seems
as though almost every commercial or
ganization and business interest in the
country were engaged in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate inquiry
into various phases OF the subject for
many months past Many local and
state commercial bodies In every part
OF the country have committees en-
gagged In study OF the problem and
have indicated a desire to come here
and present their views. National or
CARNATIONS OF manufacturers, lumber
men. coal operators, wholesale aud re-
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unifica-
tion Of the system Of railway regula-
ton. The National Industrial Traffic

All these organizations represent pri-
marily the shippers OF the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand In the discussion. The
investors Of the nation. through their
own associations and through commit
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations. are pre-
pairing TO show the necessity OF improv-
ing railroad credit and protecting the
rights Of those whose money Is invest
ed In railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitality con
cerned In the Improvement OF existing
conditions are planning to submit their
views through their executives, Jper-
ating officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far
reaching federal regulation along lines
that will enable them TO attract capital
and to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and efficient handling OF
the country's transportation business.
