|LEHIGH VALLEY ROAD TO OPERATE STEAMERS
 DESPITE COURT ORDER

The L1ehigh Valley railroad will op- crate the Lehigh Valley Transports ton Company, it's boat line between Buffalo, Chicago and Milwaukee, du- ring the coming season. Following the granting of a temporary injunc- ton by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against the enforce
 ment of the Interstate Commerce Commission order compelling the rail- road to cease the operation of it's lake boats, preparations were begun to put the vessels into commi ssion. It was announced yesterday that contracts had been let for repairs to the vessels which would cost between $2O, 900 and $25,OO0, and that captains and crews had been advised that their ser vices would be retained.
 The temporary injunction granted by the court means there will be no interference with the lake line opera tions until the court has had a further hearing of the case on March 17 and rendered it's final decision in reference to the questions involved.
 Immediately upon the courts grant ing a temporary injunction it became necessary for the Lehigh Valley to de- eide what it would do. There is a. vast amount of detail which goes with the placing of a fleet of boats in comrnis- sion after being tied up for the win ter Relieving the court will make the temporary injunction a permanent one, or if not. that it's decision will not interfere with the operation of the boats during the 1916 season, the Le- high Valley has begun preparations.
 The Lehigh Valley fleet consists of six steel freighters. the Bethlehem, the Saranac, the Tuscarora, the Sen eca, the Wilkes barre and the Mauch Chunk. The last two have a carry ing capacity of 5000 tons each. the others of 5000 tons each. The boats carry general grain and package car ROes

Fahey and War Problems

John H. Fahey, president Of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, was born forty-three years ago to-day in Manchester, N. H. He was chosen as the head of the great com
 mercial movement because of his long experience in journalism and his ac- tivity as an official of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. As publish CT of the Boston Traveller, and other publishing interests with which made his selection as the head of the re- public's Chamber of Commerce a for tunate one. The organization ot which he is president was launched in 1912, at a meeting of commercial in- terests called by the President, and has for it's principal purpose the en- ganization of business associations all over the United States, and the ex- tension of the usefulness of those aI- ready in existence.
 MT. Fahey believes that American business men will face a serious prob peon war through a great influx of un- skilled labor, He points out that 'snon-Eng nglish-speaking workmen, liv- ing by southern European standards, ignorant of American industrial ideals with no sense of the responsibilities of American citizenship, are not stable asset in industry" It follows, he thinks, that scientific hiring prinei- ples'' must be applied to immigrants from Europe when the tide begins to flow toward America after the end of the war. ''I am inclined to think,'' he said, that our national governments al policy will institute at the ports of entry a procedure that will make quite impossible'' the practice of drafting men off to jobs in hundreds or thou sands, by blue tickets, not by names As for the present, MT. Fahey says that the prosperity incident to war orders makes this t'the time to talk savings, not extravag gance, and to urge American investment upon the the workers. He believes that the busi- ness interests of America should join in a movement for encouraging thrift among the foreign-born workers, to trDch them the English language, Ia miliarize them with American politi- cal ideals, and. in short, to trans form them into social as we'll as 1n- dustrial assets of the republic.

COPERNICUS.

The first astronomer to make the discovery that the earth and the pla- nets revolve around the sun was Mi kelaus Copernicus. who was born at Thorn, in Prussia, A years ago to-day, Feb. 19, 1473. Winch CoDernicus was born the Ptolemaic system of the uni. verse, which supposed the earth to be fixed in the center of the universe and the sun and stars to revoIve about it, had prevailed over every other hy- pothesis advanced during 2,OOO years. It was supposed to be supported by the Bible, and when Copernicus, after twenty-three years of careful observa- tions and computation, announced his new theory he was reviled as an .in- fdel' by the whole Christian world. He did not survive to share the fate
 neted out to other heretics, however. for he died on the very day he receiv- ed the first copy of his epochal book. Copernicus was canon of Frauenburg, 8. position to which he had been ap- pointed, by his uncle, the Bishop of Cracow, during the years he carried on his astronomical work, and the tower from which he made his obser- vations may still be seen at F'rauen- burg. Many monuments have been erected in Poland to the memory of Copernicus.

THE FIGHTING POLES

Over in Europe the Poles are said to be giving a good account of them selves in battle, although a part of | them are arrayed on one side and the remainder on t'other, condition of affairs, one would think, not condu- sive to any great enthusiasm. The Poles always have been great fight CTS, and not few of them have turn ed their native scrapping ability to good account in the ring. Most illus trious of all, of course, was Stanis- laus Kieca1, better known as Stanley Ketchel, next to Bob Fitzsirnmons the
 greatest niddleweight of modern times There have been a number of other Polish ring batt1ers-Jack Les ter, Kid Wagner and Eddie Ketchel among thern-but perhaps the best,
 next to Ketchel was Charlie Kenep-
 aske, who fought under the name of
 oung Kenny. He was a native of
 Hartford, and fought some of the
 best 1ightweights. Although. usually
 defeated when he went up against a star, he always put up vicious fight.
 One of his best bouts was pulled off with DaI Hawkins, the San Francis so slugger, in Chicago sixteen years ago today, in 1900. DaI was-weu, he was Dal, 8, ferocious fighter, with a
 punch that would stop mule. He landed his famous left hook on the Pole in the first round, and Young Kenny went down like 8 log. A min
 ute or two passed before the Pole re- covered. Then the Californian an- nounced his willingness to give Ken ny another chance. The Pole was willing, and hostilities were resumed. Mighty soon Hawkins was sorry that he had been so magnanimous. For four rounds Kenny poured it into Dal
 hot and heavy, and poor old flaw kins barely managed to weather the storm. In the fifth. however, Dal managed to feint Kenny into an
 opening, and put over another left hook that ended the bout.
 Young Kenny retired from the ring early in 1901, but four years later he pulled comeback and figured in a number of bouts in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Appleton and other cities.

SAY GERMANS TRIED TO OVERTURN NATIVE
 MADAGASCAR POWER

Paris. Feb. 1s.-The Paris Jour nars correspondent at Tananar1vo says that German agents financed and oth- erwise encouraged a native plot to overthrow the government of Mada- gascar on Dec. 8 last The seat of the conspiracy was at Fianarantzoa and it was planned to poison the French officers and soldiers on NeW ears eve and either gain the native troops to the cause of the conspira- tors or obtain from them their nlih- tary weapons. The white officials and colonists were then to have been massacred. The plot was revealed to the authorities and already over 200 persons have been arrested and other arrests are expected as the investiga- ton is still proceeding. The great bulk of the population remains loyal to France and has not been affected by seditious propaganda
 The correspondent adds that docu- Inents discovered at the German con suIate show that plans were made for fomentfng an instruction even be- fore the war broke out.

Defending Our Trade

Chairman Stone Of the foreign relations COM
mittee Of the Senate is awake to the fact that the
trade alliance of the Entente powers is two
edged sword that will strike at American trade
as easily as it will discomfit the Central Powers
Senator Stone told the Senate that unless the
United States were considered in an industrial
alliance of the European nations, it would be
necessary for this country to adopt definite de-
tense policy.
There is little doubt that the end of the war,
if it terminates successfully for the Allies will
see the Entente powers closer together than they
have been in the last century. It will be an easy
thing for them to execute trade alliance, direct
ed especially at Germany, but working hardship
also on the American manufacturers A trade al
lance on the scale proposed by the Allies cannot
be restricted to nation alone, but will affect
every other exporting country.
II cannot escape the conviction that the war
involved nations have in mind military policy
to accomplish objects Of interest to themselves
and not for the benefit of the rest Of the world,
said Senator Stone There is much talk Of an
international agreement among the warning ma
tons to work for themselves at the end Of the
war; not only against their enemies but against
the rest of the world"
