inexplicable to outsiders. there is
much speculation as to what is the
real hidden meaning of the events.
For months the Allies have had a
largo army at Saloniki, we'll equipped
and reaGy for action. That army has
done practically nothing. AT the time
when the Germans and Austrians
turned their attention to Rumania,
and the pressure was becoming
stronger than the little nation could
bear, the activities of the Salonilli
army was confined 20 small operations
in the immediate vicinity, the import
ance OF which seems to have been
negligible. Whether the delay is be-
cause of the doubtful attitude of
Greece or to some other peculiar poll
tical situation concerning which the
world is rot informed does not appear.
But in the meantime the Teutons
have added another scalp to their
string.

WHY NOT THIS PLAN?

Instead Of prohibition by federal
amendment why does not some ono
propose the prohibition by congress-
of the shipment of intoxicants from
state to state? Congress has author
jty over Interstate commerce. and can
regulate the manner In which ship
ments Of any kind can be made
There seems to be no good reason
why the interstate shipment Of ltq-
uors cannot be prohibited entirely
II that were done the whole subject
would be squarely before every state
for treatment in the manner thought
best. If the people of the state want
beer they would be- obliged to per-
init the operation of hreweries. II
they wanted whiskey they would need
to provide for d!stilleries. If they
wanted neither they could prohibit
tho whole business and be done with
It. No importations from another
state could be made.

Chinese POLITICS NOW
ARE MORE HARMONIOUS
Election of Vice President Feng Kuo-
chang Accomplished Rapidly
and With No Trouble.

Peking, Dec. S.-Feng Kuo-changs
election to the vice presidency is re-
garded as a vital step in the effort to
harmonize Chinese politics. Three
ballots in parliament were necessary
Feng Kuo-chang was the leader in all
and on the third ballot he received
$40 votes. while his nearest competi-
tor, Lu Yung-ting, received only 201
votes.
The election was in striking con-
trast to the election of Yuan shi-kai
to the presidency in 1913. At that
placed all about the house of parlia-
ment, and there was great apprehen-
sion lest there be a riot The guards
were lacking at Feng-Kuo-chang's
election, and parliament showed no
disorder whatever.
Feng Kuo-chang is not decided
partisan. He has never identified
himself formally with any faction, but
has constantly remained as sort of
a middleman between the north and
the south, guarding the Yang-tse val
ley with his large garrison at Nam
king. He is primarily a military man,
but has shown considerable political
acument, and, unlike many Of the
H'iiA'e1iy iSaStSlS III SillIlt1, is d lIl0iI
highly educated in the Chinese classics
and polished gentleman of wide
travel and experience.
There Is much speculation now as
to whether Feng Kuo-chang will i'm
mediately come to Peking and assume
his duties as vice president He show
ed unwillingness for some time TO al
low his name to be considered in con-,
nection with the vice presidency, but
finally consented.
AS military governor Of Kiangsu
province, Of which Nanking is the
chief strategic center, he has far
greater power than the vice presi-
dental Office will afford him.
Feng Kuo-changs location at Nam
king. which commands the lower
reaches Of the Yang-tse river, as we'll
as the railway connecting Peking and
Shanghai, is one of the most vital po-
s!tions in China. His power as COM
mander at Marking has given him
great prestige, and made him so In
dependent that he frequently paid no
attention in the past to orders issued
by the central government. Recent
ly, he, as we'll as practically all the

TRY TO CHECK FLOW
OF INlGR0ES EOR7hWAnD
Leaders Say There Is No Permanent
Gain In NorLli-About 100000
Already Have Left.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. SIN an effort
to check the widespread migration of
southern negroes to northern labor
fields. negro leaders and white econ
om1stS have joined forces and at mass
meetings which are being held gem
orally are pointing out that no per-
manent gain awaits the average negro
in the north. It is estimated that fully
100000 negroes already have left the
southern states since tho northWard
movement hogan last summer.
AllurinGc Offers OF high wages and
easy work made by labor agents in
al parts of the south appear to have
met with general response from
negroes in all sections. Varied rea-
sons have been advanced for the ap-
parent Willingness of so many negroes
TO leave their homes.
serious shortage of labor in the
cotton fields next spring and summer
is feared if the exodus continues.
When the movement began several
months ago it was not viewed seri-
ously but when labor agents were sue
cessful in inducing thousands of
negroes to go north to work, employ
ers of labor in the south became
alarmed. Efforts We're made to ham,
per the agents by law. In some cities
ordinances providing prohibtve

ed. Old laws We're scanned to ascer-
tain If some means could be found to
stay the migration. These efforts re-
suited in slight checks but in the
main the movement has continued on
a large scale.
The negroes were brought in from
the country and small towns to con-
centration points and in many in
stances shipped north in trainload
lots. After several hundred had been
collected at Montgomery, Alabama,
something went amiss with the
a&"nts' p!ans and the negroes We're
left without money and away from
home. II was then that the situation
was first taken seriously in Alabama.
In most cases the southern negroes
have been placed where labor has
been scarce in the more thickly popu-
lated districts. Reports of their well
fare vary but those which have gain
ed the widest circulation in the south
tell of hardships suffered principally
because Of the cold weather which
the negro as a race cannot stand. One
report told of an old negro farmer
who had sold everything he owned
but mule and had gone north. Soon
after cold weather came his wife re-
ceived this telegram: Sell the mule
and send money to me. It's cold and
I want to come home"

Secretary Lanes Report
Shows Vast Increase in
Homesteading.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Public lands
in the United States are being taken
up by homesteaderS in rapidly in
creasing quantities as shown in tho
annual report of Secretary of the In
terror Lane made public today. Twen-
ty million acEes were claimed by pri-
vate owners in the year ending with

and still smaller average for previ-
Gus years.
OF the two hundred and fifty mill
lion acres of public land still left in
the United States much is in the arid
region. The reclamation service car
ried on construction work on "a irri-
cation projects. completing ten and
adding 5000 farms to territory for
which irrigation water is available.
Irrigation water is actually going now
to nearly 10000 farms
The report emphasizes the work Of
the Indian bureau, whose health CAM
paign, it is declared, has cut the death
rate among Indians seven in one
thousand. The bureau has conducted
a campaign to save Indian babies by
giving Indian mothers proper care.
Hospitals vert constructed and aGdi-
tional physicians were employed in
the health campaigns.
Work in the Indian schools was re-
vised to reduce the hours of academic
work and to increase the number Civ

estimates, In the first year will pay

of the year. a decrease of 3S,575 for
twelve months. Civil war soldiers on
the rolls numbered 362,277. Deaths
of civil war soldiers during the year
numbered 34,252. The amount paid
for pensions for the year was $780,

! previous year.
A patent office report gives the
number Of applications for patents
during the year as 10000. Forty
eight thousand were granted.
The bureau of education report rec
ommends formation of a division of
commercial education and a division
for the education of exceptional chill
dren. Investigations are urged look
ing to the education Of the adult
illiterate, and better education for the
children in the home

work Of the bureau Of mines in de-
veloping methods of testing low grade
complex gold, silver, lead and zinc
ores which, it is claimed, promise to
rejuvenate mining in certain parts of
the country and make valuable mill
lions of tons Of ore that now cannot
be treated. The bureau since its or
ganization has trained 41,000 miners
in mine rescue work.
Agricultural possibilities of Alaska

RUMAN|A REMAINS QUIET

West Front, Leaving it to Enc
mics to DivlllGc.

London, Dec. 8.-The Rumanian
government still withholds announce
ment regarding the west events. The
only news available respecting the
Rumanian situation comes from Ru-
mania's enemies.
Pending further information the
London morning papers print second
thoughts on the central powers sue
cesses by the military critics and edi-
torial writer's. The gist of these opin-
ions Is that while it would be useless
to seek to attenuate the moral advant-
age and considerable accession of
useful supplies obtained by the CEN
trail powers it would be easy sto ex-
aggerate the evil consequences for the
entente. Expressions of certain Ger
man newspapers quoted show that the
Informed people Of Germany realize
that their triumph in Rumania has
very definite limitations.

London, Dec. s.-The century-old
idea of a tunnel under the English
channel, first advanced by the French
but always opposed by the British be-
cause Britain wished to retain her in
sulartty, seems at last about to bear
fruit The war has taught Britain
that such a tunnel, instead of being
source of danger in time of war
mi%ht be source OF tremendous
benefit.
So the building of the tunnel in the
near future Is now practically a fore
